TEACHING

NOTE: Listed below are my teaching responsibilities for roughly 2011-2019. In any given year for the past ten years this is roughly what my teaching responsibilities have looked like. I teach an occasional offering of an undergraduate bioethics course, PHL 344. I offer my graduate seminar on health care justice at roughly three year intervals. This is PHL 870. I last offered this course in the Fall of 2014. In the Winter of 2005 I taught a Freshman Seminar under the title “Pricing Human Life: Ethics and Public Policy.” I have been doing the Freshman Seminar with different topics every year in the spring since 2005. In the Fall of 2006 I taught an advanced special topics bioethics course PHL 444, “Ethical and Policy Challenges in Genetics and the New Reproductive Technologies.” In the spring of 2017 I taught a new course for a new program, the “Citizen Scholars Program.” The course number was AL 210, “Democratic Deliberation and Health Care Justice.” (4 credits). I have also been teaching a Study Abroad course in London titled “Medical Ethics and Health Policy.” I taught that course for 5-6 weeks each summer from 2005 until 2018.

[Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators; Left Ventricular Assist Devices; Kidney Cancer and the New Biologics; Lung Cancer and the New Biologics; Drug-Eluting Stents vs. Bare Metal Stents]. These topics are about policy decisions that must be made in a resource-constrained context. Medical students must work as a group to produce policy proposals that integrate the relevant medical information and epidemiological information and ethics and economics perspectives.

Concept paper and curriculum development for new CHM experience for first and second year students titled “Longitudinal Chronic Illness Patient Care Experience”: developing the “advanced directive” exercise for the SCCD ethics module, and the “health policy” exercise for the SCCD policy module. Each of these are now in their tenth iteration.

Aspirations for the '80s: A Working Agenda (1982). This is a collection of 24 "working papers" from the 24 task forces that were part of the "Agenda for the '80s" project. These

papers were presented at a community conference in Century Center in South Bend, Indiana in May, 1982. I was responsible for compiling and editing these papers. This volume is about 600 pages in length.

Aspirations for the '80s: A Working Agenda (Summary version, 1982). This volume represents a

70-page condensation of the above volume. For the most part it contains the recommendations from the 24 working papers. It was created because it was felt that a briefer document would more readily stimulate the sort of community conversation that the "Agenda for the '80s" project was designed to generate and sustain.

Consultant to the Michigan Department of Public Health Ad Hoc Committee on HIV-Infected

Health Care Workers. I was asked to serve as the staff ethicist for this committee; and I was asked to serve in this role because of the paper Keith Apelgren and I produced on this topic early in 1991. This paper provided the rough foundation for the work of this committee and resulted in a set of recommendations that were much more reasonable and morally defensible than those that had been promulgated by the CDC in July of 1991. The final report of this committee was issued on October 1, 1991 under the title "Michigan Recommendations on HIV-Infected Health Care Workers." It has been circulated to a number of national medical and dental groups who have endorsed it; and it is our hope that this will eventually result in a change of direction by the CDC on this issue. (March- October, 1991). [That change of direction in fact occurred.]

University of Michigan, starting in late 1990. Consultant to the Kellogg Foundation for the "Alternative Comprehensive Community Models

Proposal for Health Care Reform," directed by Bruce Spitz of Brandeis University. I am one of sixteen individuals serving in this role, the majority of whom are also directly connected with the "Just Caring" project. My responsibilities in connection with this project started in November of 1991.

Vice-President of the Board of The Medical Ethics Resource Network of Michigan (1990-92). In

April of 1992 I was elected President of the Board (1992-94). I was one of the founding members of MERN and, for all practical purposes, I currently serve as an unofficial executive director for MERN. That is, I am responsible for supervising the daily operations of MERN, including the graduate students responsible for our newsletter and for addressing the needs of our institutional members.

Media Contacts (2000-17): More than 100 interviews with different radio and TV stations, and

newspapers, regarding a broad range of bioethics topics in the news from 2000 through the first half of 2017, especially genetics issues, stem cell research, cloning, physician assisted suicide, Medicare reform, Patients’ Bill of Rights, and other health policy issues during this period. During 2010 lots of media contacts regarding the Affordable Care Act. During 2017 lots of media contacts regarding Republican efforts to repeal and “replace” the Affordable Care Act. The most recent of those was an on camera interview with Alysia Burgio of WLNS TV regarding passage of AHCA in April of 2017. Most of these media outlets were somewhere in Michigan. Some were quite extensive. I did a three-hour stint on the air for WLNS, Ch. 6 television during Clinton’s visit to Lansing for the summer of 1999, commenting on both the Medicare issues and Patients’ Bill of Rights issues. I am also on the commentator list for Roger Sergel of ABC NEWS, which means I received in the past regular requests for comment on issues related to medical ethics and health care policy. I did at least three interviews with AP reporters. More generally, in any given year since 1985 I have usually had 10-20 contacts with the media

during that year, all sorts of brief interviews on some news event of the day.

GRANTS “Communities of Color and Genetics Policy,” NIH three-year renewal grant for $1.1 M

(Dec. 1998-Dec. 2001); this is a joint project with the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan and Tuskegee University; U of M is the lead institution. Our share of this grant is about $150K. This grant is under the auspices of the ELSI program at NIH (Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of the Human Genome Project). It is a follow-up to our original NIH project “Genome Technology and Reproduction: Values and Public Policy” (1995-98) also funded at about $1.1 M. I serve as a co-principal investigator for this project with primary responsibility for the community dialogue phase of the project. I am responsible for developing the leaders= guides we use as an agenda for each community dialogue, training the dialogue facilitators and dialogue observers, meeting with community groups to assist in recruiting participants, analyzing the results of the dialogue process and then presenting those results at assorted conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. There have been a total of about 90 community dialogue sessions, six at each of fifteen community sites. Most of those dialogue sessions occurred during calendar 2000.

"Just Caring: Justice, Health Care, and the Good Society."

(1990-93) The Center for Ethics and Humanities in the Life Sciences received a $15,000 AULEG seed grant [All University Life-Long Education Grant] to support the planning phase of this project, including the resources needed to secure an additional project funding. This will be a statewide project that will create community forums in which issues of justice regarding health care policy can be comprehensively addressed. This project is fully described in a paper with the same title that was produced for the Governor's Task Force on Access to Health Care. During 1992-93 I secured more than $30,000 in supplementary funding for the "Just Caring" project from various community foundations, businesses, the Mercy Corporation, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, etc.

"Pricing Human Life: Moral and Public Policy Dilemmas." This was a pilot project in

Flint, Michigan. It was similar in terms of type of issues to the Goshen project, but it involved only six seminars in the spring of 1986. Flint is one of the community campuses of the medical school. This project was supported by a grant from the Michigan Council for the Humanities.
