Sponsored byBucksbaum Institute for Clinical ExcellenceCenter for Global HealthCenter in Paris
Welcome
The University of Chicago’s Bucksbaum Institute, Center for Global
Health, and Center in Paris, welcome you to the colloquium “Learning
from the Doctor-Patient Relationship to Improve Quality of Care:
Perspectives from Europe, Africa, and the United States.”
This colloquium will provide a forum to discuss the doctor-patient
relationship and examine ways to improve quality of care from the
perspectives of physicians, researchers, policymakers, and advocates
from Europe, Africa, and the United States.
We have convened a diverse group of international experts to present
and discuss four questions, aimed at improving the quality of health and
patient care.
• Panel 1: What is the doctor-patient relationship?
• Panel 2: How do chronic diseases impact the doctor-patient
relationship?
• Panel 3: What roles do technology and patient satisfaction play in the
doctor-patient relationship?
• Panel 4: Looking to the future, what are ways to improve the doctor-
patient relationship?
We hope that the colloquium will provide an opportunity for attendees
to identify opportunities and challenges facing the doctor-patient rela-
tionship, outline ways of improving care and reducing global health dis-
parities, and expand your professional networks.
Thank you for joining us at the University of Chicago Center in Paris.
Bienvenue
L’institut Bucksbaum, le Centre pour la Santé Globale et le Centre à Paris
de l’Université de Chicago vous souhaitent la bienvenue au colloque :
« Apprendre de la relation docteur-patient pour améliorer la qualité des
soins : perspectives européennes, africaines et américaines ».
Ce colloque veut offrir un cadre pour analyser la relation docteur-patient
et envisager des solutions pour améliorer la qualité des soins selon une
pluralité d’approches présentées par des praticiens, des chercheurs ou
des responsables politiques venus d’Europe, d’Afrique ou des États-Unis.
Nous avons rassemblé un groupe d’experts internationaux qui
échangeront autour de quatre axes de réflexion avec pour objectif
l’amélioration de la santé et des soins prodigués au patient.
• Panel 1 : Qu’est-ce-que la relation docteur-patient ?
• Panel 2 : Comment les maladies chroniques affectent-elles la relation
docteur-patient ?
• Panel 3 : Quels rôles la technologie et la satisfaction des patients
jouent-elles dans la relation docteur-patient ?
• Panel 4 : Demain, comment améliorer la relation docteur-patient ?
Nous espérons que ce colloque permettra aux participants de mieux
cerner les opportunités et les challenges liés à la relation docteur-
patient, d’identifier des moyens d’améliorer les soins et de réduire
les disparités en matière de santé globale, et d’élargir leur réseau
professionnel.
Nous vous remercions d’être présents aujourd’hui au Centre de
l’Université de Chicago à Paris.

The University of Chicago Bucksbaum Institute for Clinical Excellence
was created to improve patient care; to strengthen the doctor-patient
relationship; to enhance communication and decision-making in
healthcare through research and education programs for medical
students, junior faculty and master clinicians; and to reduce healthcare
disparities. Since 2011, the Bucksbaum Institute has worked to achieve
its mission through the appointment of more than 340 Master Clinicians,
Senior Faculty, Junior Faculty, Associate Junior Faculty, Medical Student,
and Undergraduate Student Scholars. The Institute works with these
scholars and the larger University of Chicago academic community in
four key areas:
• Promoting and advancing the practice of collaborative medicine,
where clinical decision-making is shared by the patient and physician.
The physician serves as an adviser, counselor, and navigator who
helps the patient understand complex treatment choices in a medical
relationship that is focused on the patient’s interests.
• Establishing a new and higher standard for training and mentoring
extremely skilled, compassionate and communicative medical students
and physicians.
• Promoting social justice by working to reduce health care disparities
and improving models of delivery and access.
• Focusing on the social sciences and humanities, fields that are often
neglected by traditional medical school programs.
The University of Chicago Center for Global Health (CGH) provides a
unifying framework for students, staff, and faculty across the University
with an interest in global health. CGH reinforces the University of
Chicago’s strengths in fields such as the humanities, life sciences, social
sciences, medicine, public policy, and others. This interdisciplinary focus
encourages innovative approaches to the numerous health challenges
faced by residents of the South Side of Chicago and by people across
the world alike. The mission of the Center is to collaborate with
communities locally and globally to democratize education, increase

Leora Auslander, PhDUniversity of ChicagoArthur and Joann Rasmussen Professor of Western Civilization

Center for Gender and Sexuality StudiesMember, Chicago Center for Jewish Studies2018–19 Academic Director, Center in Paris
Center in Paris Welcome
Dr. Leora Auslander is a Professor of European Social
History and the Arthur and Joann Rasmussen Professor
of Western Civilization at the University of Chicago.
While her primary research focus is on modern France,
she has found herself intrigued by research problems
best treated transnationally. In her most recent book,
Cultural Revolutions, Dr. Auslander moves across the Atlantic world from
Britain, to colonial and early national America, and finally eastwards again
to France. Her ongoing pair of projects, Strangers at Home and
Conundrums of Commemoration, stay on the European continent but
involve a comparative analysis of Paris and Berlin in the twentieth century.
Additionally, although not yet published extensively in the area, she main-
tains an active interest in and regularly teaches the history of European
colonialism and the postcolonial world it left behind.
Conceptually, Dr. Auslander’s work focuses on the intersection of
material culture, everyday life, and politics as she seeks to explain how
and why everyday things have become catalysts for conflict, means
of expressing identities and constructing selves, vehicles for dissent-
ing opinions, and sites of unexpected state intervention. Her research
agenda is based on the hypothesis, informed by phenomenology and
feminist theory, that key to answering these questions is the close and
careful study of material culture, but a close and careful study that
always links the concreteness of everyday goods to the abstractions of
polity, society, and economy.

Welcome MessageMODERATOR: What is the Doctor-Patient Relationship?; Looking to the Future, What are Ways to Improve the Doctor-Patient Relationship?
Dr. Olufunmilayo I. Olopade, MD, FACP is the Walter L.
Palmer Distinguished Service Professor in Medicine and
Human Genetics and Director of the Center for Clinical
Cancer Genetics and Global Health at The University of
Chicago. She is a practicing breast medical oncologist
and cancer geneticist and a pioneer in cancer genetics
whose seminal research has focused on the molecular genetics of breast
cancer progression and illuminated the root causes of aggressive breast
cancer in young women, especially those of African ancestry. Her labora-
tory was the first to describe recurrent BRCA1 mutations in extended
African American families, a study she broadened to include indigenous
West African women. She identified BRCA1 methylation as an alternative
mechanism for inactivating BRCA1 gene and showed in ground-breaking
papers that epigenetic regulation of BRCA1 occurs early in sporadic
breast cancer, especially the triple negative subtype that disproportion-
ately effects African American women. She was awarded a 2005
MacArthur Fellowship (“genius grant”) for “translating findings on the
molecular genetics of breast cancer in African and African-American
women into innovative clinical practices in the United States and abroad.”

completed her residency training at Stanford University Hospital. She then worked for the National Health Service Corps for two years at a community health center for the medically underserved in Ohio before relocating to Chicago.
As a member of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) pro-gram office, Finding Answers: Disparities Research for Change, Dr. Peek led a systematic review of health care interventions to reduce dispari-ties in diabetes care and outcomes. She has been funded by RWJF and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to explore racial differences in patient/provider communica-tion and to pilot patient-empowerment interventions to enhance such communication among blacks with diabetes. She is the Co-Principal Investigator of grants from the Merck Company Foundation and NIH/NIDDK to improve diabetes care and outcomes among residents on the South Side of Chicago, a predominantly African-American, working class community with significant disparities in diabetes health outcomes such as lower extremity amputations. Dr. Peek was part of the NIDDK stra-tegic planning committee whose 2010 report “Advances and Emerging Opportunities in Diabetes Research” set forth the diabetes research agenda for the next 5–10 years.
Dr. Peek also does research on the development and evaluation of community-based, culturally-tailored interventions to promote healthy behaviors and preventive care, including women’s health (e.g., breast cancer screening), physical activity and diabetes self-management.

Mark Siegler, MD University of ChicagoLindy Bergman Distinguished Service Professor of MedicineFounding Director, MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics Executive Director, The Bucksbaum Institute for Clinical Excellence
SPEAKER: The Doctor-Patient Relationship and Shared Decision Making in the United States
Dr. Siegler, who has practiced and taught internal medi-
cine for more than forty-five years, is the Lindy Bergman
Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine and Surgery
at the University of Chicago and Founding Director of
the University of Chicago’s MacLean Center for Clinical
Medical Ethics. In 2011, he was appointed as Executive
Director of The Bucksbaum Institute for Clinical Excellence, a new insti-
tute that aims to improve patient care and patient outcomes.
After graduating with honors from Princeton University in 1963, he
received his medical degree in 1967 from the University of Chicago
where he was an intern, resident and Chief Resident in Medicine. This
was followed by a year of advanced training at the Hammersmith-
Royal Postgraduate Hospital in London, England. In 1972, he joined the
University of Chicago faculty, organizing and directing one of the earli-
est medical intensive care units. This experience with critically ill patients
introduced him to a range of ethical problems that he continues to inves-
tigate, teach, and write about. In 1974, he created and named the field of
clinical medical ethics.
In 1984, the University of Chicago established the MacLean Center for
Clinical Medical Ethics, the first program in the nation devoted to study-
ing “practical everyday ethical issues in medicine.” In its first decade, the
MacLean Center was chosen by U.S. News and World Report for three
consecutive years as the leading medical ethics program in the United
States. Since then, the MacLean Center, under Dr. Siegler’s direction, has
become the largest fellowship program in clinical ethics in the world,
with five endowed University chairs in clinical ethics. More than 450
physicians and other health professionals have trained at the MacLean
Center, many of whom now direct ethics programs in the U.S., Canada,
and Europe, as well as Australia, Africa, South America and China. In
2013, the MacLean Center received the prestigious Cornerstone Award
from the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities for “outstand-
ing contributions from an institution that has helped shaped the direc-
tion of the fields of bioethics.”
In 2016, Dr. Siegler received a bioethics award from Johns Hopkins
University in recognition of his extraordinary leadership within the field
of bioethics. The award stated, “The training programs established by
you, including more than 350 clinical fellows across almost 35 years,
have had a greater impact than any other clinical ethics training program
in the world.”
Dr. Siegler has written more than 200 journal articles, 50 book
chapters and five books. His textbook, co-authored with Al Jonsen
and William Winslade, Clinical Ethics: A Practical Approach to Ethical
Decisions in Clinical Medicine, 8th Edition (2015), has been translated
into eight languages. A ninth edition is planned for 2020. In April 2017,
Springer Publishing released Dr. Siegler’s most recent book, “Clinical
Medical Ethics: Landmark Works and Legacy of Mark Siegler, MD.”
This book was co-edited with Dr. Laura Roberts, chair of psychiatry at
Stanford University.
