Shaking the status quo one issue at a time

An exclusive interview with 3rd year medical student Marisa Vigna

Letter From The Editor Table of Contents:

Welcome to the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals

The time to challenge and change the status quo has never been as urgent as right now. This magazine is for you my dear reader. The movers and the shakers of the world. The ones unhappy with the current state of the world. The ones who not only dream of better societies, but takes actionable steps to achieve this ideal. The non-conformers. The ones that not only ask why, but why not. The yes and people. The ones who get up after each fall, adjusting, pivoting and learning. This magazine is for you. Welcome to Radical Shift. Shaking the Status Quo.

It doesn’t take long before you see the state of the world. Inequalities cemented in our society, harassment seen as an endemic, blind to the untrained and often privileged eye. But there is hope in these trying times. Hope that while these events may seem insurmountable to tackle alone, taking one step no matter how small is better than keeping with the status quo.

to you, and force you to reflect and ask yourself, “ what small action can I do to help change the narrative, in this moment, not in 5 years?” This is the fight and we need all of us to work together to make systems work for everyone and not for a certain few.

The first issue of Radical Shift, Shaking the Status Quo will take a deeper dive into the harassment faced by female medical students and residents in Canada and offer ideas to tackle this issue. This will be highlighted by a feature article on the topic and an exclusive interview with soon to be resident Dr. Marisa Vigna. Because while healthcare is a provincial responsibility, harassment faced by female medical trainees is a national problem. And this behavior and mindset has ripple effects in our already tested healthcare system.

Thank you, my dear reader, for picking this magazine. Choosing to join the fight to make the world a better place. Because the time to challenge and change the status quo is now. This is the Radical Shift we need.

Goal 17: Partnership for the Goals

Thank you

Notes

Welcome to the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals

7years ago, in 2015, the United Nation (UN) member countries came together to discuss how they could ensure that the planet was sustainable, not just for now but for generations to come.

What came out of these talks and meetings was the creation and adoption of 17 goals, that countries, collectively and individually would work towards to meet, with a target date in 2030. These goals were dubbed the United Nation 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

While the goals can be seen and worked towards as stand alone, their greatest strength and impact is felt when they are merged together, in unison, complimenting with one another. That is where the greatest impact will be felt.

Where good health and wellbeing starts with clean drinking water and sanitation. Where taking care of our green spaces and oceans can help curb climate change. The goals, can stand alone, but its interconnectivity with each other is where its greatest strength is. And now more than ever, we need the goals to realign ourselves and met the targets set out, because we are running out of time.

Goal No Poverty

NoPoverty, the United Nations 1st Sustainable Development Goal looks at how to eliminate poverty around the world.

Because while the percentage of those that face extreme poverty has reduced from a staggering 36% in 1990 to 10% in 2015, there is still so much work to be done, in order to achieve the targets, set out in this goal.

The 17 United Nation Sustainable Development Goals are set up as a road map. A blueprint for countries to follow and align with, to ensure they are individually trying to meet the goals, but also working in partnership with other countries, to get the biggest impact. The goals are a call to action for every country, whether wealthier, in the middle and the still developed to remind them that they each have a part to play in writing a narrative, with the planet being sustainable and prosperous as the key theme.

This is why the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals were created.

The COVID 19 pandemic and slow progress towards meeting the outcomes of this goal are threatening to undo all the fragile work that has happened thus far. Nearly 700 million people, worldwide face extreme poverty and continue to face hardship filling the basic of human needs. While those in wealthier countries don’t experience the mainstream harsh realities of poverty, many 3rd world countries face this reality, daily. And having a job does not guarantee that food and basic human needs will be met.

Zero Hunger Goal Goal Good Health & Wellbeing

Zero

Hunger, the United Nations 2nd Sustainable Development Goal objective is to create a world where everyone has access to and afford food.

While there has been a decline over the decades, there has been a troubling uptick, starting in 2015 with how many people are going hungry. Current data suggests that almost 690 million people, which is 8.9% of the population globally are malnourished.

If this trend continues, the world is not on track to meet its targets of zero hunger by 2030. As data suggests that more than 840 million people will become malnourished. Therefore, swift action is needed now to curb this trend.

health and wellbeing, the United Nations 3rd Sustainable Development Goal aims to ensure that all people, no matter the age or where they reside are afforded the opportunity to a healthy life. This focus is necessary in order to create a more sustainable and equitable world.

Prior to the COVID 19 pandemic, there was steady progress being made, thus improving the livelihood of millions of people. By Improving life expectancy and reducing common diseases associated with child and newborn mortality. But more is needed, in order to fully eradicate diseases that are killing children and babies and addressing the systemic barriers often facing this age group in developing countries. This includes access to hygienic and sanitation stations to

name a few.

All these steps can help us achieve the targets of Good Health and Wellbeing.

“In 2019, 6.9% of the world population (47 million people) were effected by diseases connected to poor nutritional intake”

Good

“ 94% of all maternal deaths occur in low and lower middle income countries”

Goal Goal

Quality Education Gender Equality

Education, the United Nations 4th Sustainable Development Goal aim is to ensure everyone has access to education. As education is the foundation required to have socioeconomic stability and help to curb poverty. While progress has been made, more is required. For instance 260 million children were out of school in 2018 and more than half of all children and teens globally are not meeting the standards in reading and math.

Quality

During the height of the COVID 19 pandemic, nearly 91% of students were out of the classroom worldwide. In April of 2020, nearly 1.6 billion children were out of a classroom and 369 million children who rely on a school meal program had to find their meals elsewhere.

Gender

equality, the United Nations 5th Sustainable Development Goal is not only a fundamental human right, but necessary if we want a world that is peaceful, prosperous and sustainable. While progress has been made, including having more girls going to school, fewer early forced marriages, more females in leadership positions and laws that reflect gender equality, more needs to be done. There are social norms that need to be dismantled and females in leadership positions needs to be commonplace, not a rare sight. And where sexual and physical violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month span needs to stop.

The COVID 19 pandemic has just further exacerbated these existing issues, where women have been disproportionately affected.

“617 million youth worldwide lack basic mathematics and literacy skills.”

“ In 46 countries, women now hold more than 30% of the seats in national parliaments in at least one chamber”

Feature Article

In a country as wealthy and diverse as Canada, gender inequality is still common and therefore gender equality is still a distant goal to achieve.

For female medical trainees, this including medical students and residents in hospital settings across Canada, they are often entering a profession that has traditionally been male dominated and where harassment is seen as part of the culture. Where harassment in any form, whether verbal, physical or sexual has become endemic. And if these female trainees do come forth and speak up (which is rare), they are often not taken seriously, and they are silenced and their

while I am a strong proponent and advocate for health and healthcare transforming primarily through patient engagement and patient, I am appreciating and becoming more aware that health transformation is not one sided. That to have effective system change in an industry as bureaucratic as healthcare and the provincial policies and funding models behind it, true partnership with all stakeholders in required to achieve this ideal. And this is a first step in creating a healthcare system that reflects everyone’s wants and needs.

While women make up at least half of the physician workforce and enrollment in medical schools are an even split or favor women,

HOW MIGHTWE eliminate harassment faced by female medical trainees in Canada in order to create psychologically safe workplaces?

stories altered to fit a certain narrative.

Future female doctors are often put in an awkward position if they do experience harassment, whether it’s from a patient, a patient’s family member or more internally, from a colleague or someone higher up in the medical hierarchy system. Where, if they do want to submit a complaint, that process is plagued with biases and assumptions. The form was never submitted, it was never received, or the worst, the form was received but it wasn’t taken seriously and actions were never taken to address this too often common systemic concern. And this culture has a direct and indirect impact on patient care and the perceived quality of it. Where patients and their families can overhear arguments and verbal abuse and then can refuse to be treated by the resident or medical student, believing they lack the clinical competences required to be a doctor.

healthcare organizations and provincial governments needs to do more, to ensure that policies are enforced, that leadership walks the talk if harassment happens with swift actions And while events like the Canadian Women’s Physicians Day, a celebration on March 11th to honor and highlight the work done by Canadian female doctors, we need to lengthen that respect and celebrations from merely 24 hours to a common theme.

The reason I chose this particular wicked problem is because,

While the work ahead is challenging and not without roadblocks, let us use the post pandemic society one where healthcare transformation is possible, where the culture of health and healthcare is one where patients are seen as people and equal members of their healthcare team and where harassment is erased, where the culture for the future female doctors is one of empathy, understanding and respect. Because it is possible.

An exclusive interview with 3rd year medical student Marisa Vigna sits down to discuss this topic

“ While healthcare is a provincial responsibility, harassment faced by medical trainees is a national problem”

Marisa Vigna

A former teacher and patient advisor, Marisa Vigna is completing her final weeks of medical school at the Cumming School of Medicine in Calgary. Read on to hear what she had to say about harassment towards female medical trainee in Canada

QUESTION 1

How would you describe the current medical education culture? As a female medical student?

So, I mean, in terms of the culture of medicine, from a perspective of a female, overall, I do think things are moving in the right direction, yes overall. For example, my class has I think has a 55:45, split actually in favor of females. So, which is interesting, because in the past, obviously, it was definitely more male dominant. So, having more females in medicine, hopefully, in itself, just having a higher volume of trainees will change the culture. But I guess it is something that’s quite difficult. And very, person dependent on what their experiences have been. Overall, mine have been quite positive, and I haven’t found that I’ve been harassed. Like, I haven’t felt as though I’ve been overly like discriminated against because I’m a female. But that’s also very dependent on who my preceptors have been. I would say,

I tend to notice a bit of gender bias is in the emergency department in particular, because oftentimes, female physicians, and all physicians that wear scrubs, just like the nurses. And so it’s sometimes difficult to distinguish between who’s who in the zoo. And that’s a time where oftentimes, when I’m working with a female physician, they get thought that they’re a nurse, and I’ve got it many times myself as well. So that is a place where I see that people automatically assume that a female working in healthcare must be a nurse. But of course, I never got that when I was working with male physicians, where they were, obviously always thought to be the physician. And then ironically, there was a couple of times, one of my friends was actually a male emerge, nurse. And he was actually called doctor a few times by some patients. So there you go. That is one place where I’ve definitely noticed it more, but also, because I think how people are dressed. Yeah. So when a female dresses more professionally, per se, or has you know, more of that

work, like business casual type clothing on, let’s say, on an Medical Teaching Unit (MTU) or something like that, then they’re often not thought of as the nurse because the nurse would be wearing scrubs. So I guess part of it is also the dress. And how that plays in I don’t know, but again, I think there is some gender assumptions about who’s who in their roles.

QUESTION 2

As a female trainee, do you feel you need to prove yourself more than your male colleagues? Book Smart,, knowledge about anatomy, compassion etc That is very interesting question.

I’m personally not a person to care all that much about what people think of me. So, I’m not maybe the best judge of character for that question. However, I do find that sometimes when I’m working with like a male physician, not that I personally experienced this, but I do think that sometimes the interaction is different. And I only know that because I’ve seen it peripherally. For example, I’ve been working with a different preceptor. But I saw a preceptor that I had worked with previously, and while he was a great teacher, my interaction with him was very different than when I saw one of my classmates who was a male, working with that same preceptor. And they seem to be a lot more buddy, bud-

dy, than I ever did with them. Maybe it was personality or interests? I don’t know. Did I think I had a really good relationship with that preceptor prior?

Yes, I did. But did I have the same kind of conversations with him? No. So

again, I don’t know if that was gender. Hard to say, but I just thought it was very interesting to observe that relationship and comparison to the one that I’d had with that preceptor, which I thought was generally quite positive and is actually somebody I asked to write a reference letter. But again, very different than the relationship I had. I’ve also heard of And again, this is all hearsay, but some of my male counterparts in fantasy football leagues are with certain physicians. Would I ever do that, no. But would I ever be asked to be in a fantasy football league with staff physicians? As a female?

QUESTION 3

Do. You think harassment is endemic in healthcare? From patients, but also between colIwould say, I don’t know about gender as much like, I assume it happens. Yeah, like everything, I think it is, unfortunately, something that is well established in the culture of healthcare. Whether it’s more gender specific or more role specific, and kind of where you sit on the hierarchy. I think if you’re a student or resident is where I would actually see more of the

harassment occurring, personally. But in terms of gender. I personally haven’t witnessed that, although I can’t speak to the rest of my colleagues, because I know there has some been some intense interactions claiming it as gender bias or a because of their sexual orientation, is where they may have had some harassment occur. But again, it’s all hearsay, and it’s hard to truly know what the root of that harassment was, if it is even true harassment. So I don’t have a good answer to that question

However I would say, yes, harassment, of course occurs in the workplace. Whether or not it’s because of gender? I don’t know. I can’t speak to that.

QUESTION 4

What implications does harassment towards female trainees have on patient care and the quality of that patient care? And

so again, thankfully, was not a person that had to experience harassment in the workplace, which is great. But I do think that depending on where the harassment occurs, whether that’s in front of a patient or family member, it can definitely undermine the value and ability of that trainee to provide the best care possible. And so I guess an example I could give, although it’s not something I’ve experienced, but if let’s say a preceptor like yells at a female trainee in front of the patient or says you’re doing

Okay,

this wrong or whatever it might be, in front of a patient family member. That might create a very awkward situation, because a patient might interpret it as WoW, That attending an absolute asshole. or be it could be that now I don’t feel confident in anything that has been done between me and that training. And now they think that maybe they’re not weren’t good and they don’t feel like their care is actually being appropriately taken care of. And where the patient or family may don’t feel as confident in their skills, and they’re gonna be like, actually, I don’t want them [trainee] doing my exam. Whether or not that’s with any true meaning, I think they might be perfect doing it, or they might be very well trained. But based on that interaction, you might start to feel I guess, less safe, or that the care you’re going to receive is less than what would be appropriate in your mind. So again, I don’t have that personal experience. But I just wonder if how that interaction would play out in front of the patient , and how that could change their perspective, or their opinion of that training, the trainees ability to do their job to the standard they’d expect.

QUESTION 5

What should healthcare leaders do to reduce harassment? And what is something that like an average person can do to reduce and eliminate harassment?

If they see it in action or read about it?

Ithink part of it is leadership. Where people come into positions of power. And I think we are transitioning to having more females in higher positions of power, which again, can ultimately kind of shape what a culture of a particular situation, organization and team looks like, especially because a lot of that will stem from the top, and guess what they’re willing to tolerate or not tolerate in the workplace. So I think one of those areas is having more females in leadership roles would be one way to be proactive or least counterbalance what’s been occurring in the past. But another one is, again, I think having staff meetings, or gathering of your team or people that are working together, is to have conversations around what is acceptable, what is not and know, the very firm stance on these rules and not following them will not be tolerated, and will ultimately led to consequences. There needs to be a safe environment for all and having training around that as well. Like there’s definitely people that can come in and do training sessions on what that looks

like or knowing how to appropriately respond to those situations. Because I think a lot of people may not feel empowered to speak in a situation especially if they’re the you know, the one that’s like the female, in a female male relationship with a harassment situation or they feel like they’re in a lower role, such as a nurse versus a doctor or seeing a nurse encounters an inappropriate harassment situation between a resident and a staff physician. Will the nurse really going to step in, in that situation, maybe if they know them well, but if it’s somebody they don’t know, there’s definitely the hierarchy of roles that can play into it as well to whether or not someone feels comfortable stepping in. So I think having training around that, and then making sure that that culture is known within that working group.. Interestingly enough, many of the female nurses don’t feel as comfortable approaching male physicians, even if there are genuinely nice male physicians, to ask for simple tasks to be done, for example, like putting in orders, or something that the male physician was actually responsible for. But they were like, oh, I’ll just wait until the female physician comes on in the morning. Because it’s not like it’s huge rush. But I wonder would that happen, If the female had been on overnight, they would have probably gone right to them anyway

and said, “Hey, your orders aren’t in.”

QUESTION 6

Can focusing on efforts on eliminating harassment faced by female medical trainees play a part in re humanizing the system?

ABSOLUTELY! As a female, I think everyone obviously strives to work in a safe working environment where they feel like a productive member of the team, one where they feel that they’re not going to have to worry about being harassed by their colleagues daily, because that’s obviously going to decrease productivity if those things occur. So I would say absolutely putting and investing time into ensuring that it’s a safe work environment is going to ultimately benefit the productivity of the team. And like, as mentioned previously, some of the ways in which to do that is just really making clear that culture that you are attempting to achieve with that team, with staff meetings, with professional development opportunities, etc. To make sure those are at the forefront and again, being firm on those and I guess empowering people to feel that they can ultimately step in in situations where they’re noticing harassment. Additionally I think it also comes from having a good culture everybody knows each other and feels comfortable doing that. Because when people don’t know each other and newer staff, etc. That’s likely

not going to occur.

Thank you for making the time Marisa

Goal Clean Water & Sanitation

7. Goal

Affordable & Clean Energy

Water and Sanitation, the United Nations 6th Sustainable Development Goal aim is to have everyone to be able to practice and have access to clean water and sanitation stations.

Clean

elements are to prevent infection and spread it. Yet billions of people do not have access to these basic prevention tools.

In developed countries like Canada, we often take for granted that water from the tap is clean and drinkable. But for groups like indigenous people and those in developing countries, they do not have access to clean drinking water and furthermore sanitation stations. Where 1 in 3 people do not have access to safe drinking water and 2 out of 5 people do not have basic hand washing facilities, equipped with soap and water.

The COVID 19 pandemic has proved just how vital these

Affordable and Clean Energy, the United Nations 7th Sustainable Development Goal has made significant strides in ensuring that people, families and communities have energy that is sustainable and is easily accessible. Access to electricity has also been pushing forward in developing countries, where electricity efficiency and renewable energy resources are making gains.

But while good progress is noted, more needs to be done. Especially in areas such as sub-Saharan Africa, where access to electricity is scarce.

“ 2.4 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services, such as toilets or latrines”

“ 13% of the world still lacks access to modern electricity”

Goal Decent Work & Economic Growth

9. Goal Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure

work and economic growth, the United Nations 8th Sustainable Development Goal aim is to create meaningful work opportunities for all those and thus improve living standards.

Decent

But during the COVID 19 pandemic, it has threatened the global economy and has disrupted billions of lives. The international monetary fund (IMF) is bracing for a global recession, which can be equal to or worse than the 2009 recession. Experts expect that nearly half of the global workforce is at risk of losing their livelihood as well. But even before the pandemic became a global event, 1 in 5 countries faced poverty and were likely to see their per capita income decrease. The pandemic has just widened this problem.

Industries, innovation and infrastructure, the United Nations 9th Sustainable Development Goal purpose is to create systems that generate employment opportunities and therefore income. This would enable societies to adopt and promote new technologies, facilitate trade domestically and internationally and use resources effectively.

But more is required. Developing countries for instance needs to accelerate their manufacturing sector if countries want to meet the 2030 targets. This is important because innovation and technology are key to creating sustainable solutions on both the economic and environmental front.

“ Men earn 12.5% more than women in 40 out of 45 countries”

“ 16% of the global population does not have access to mobile broadband network”

Goal Reduced Inequalities

Reduced inequalities, the United Nations 10th Sustainable Development Goal purpose is to ensure that no one is left behind and is an integral part in achieving the targets set out.

Inequalities in countries is a persistent cause for concern, despite efforts such as equal pay etc. Therefore inequalities are still common.

because of their sex, from health to the economy and everything in between. But beyond the pandemic, inequalities are hitting groups such as those with disabilities, refuges and migrants, indigenous people quite hard, often leaving them behind.

11. Goal Sustainable Cities & Communities

Sustainable Cities and Communities, the United Nations 11th Sustainable Development Goal looks at how to create livable cities. Since 2007, more than half of the world’s population has been residing in cities, with projection of 60% by 2030. These matters because data suggests that urban areas are powerhouses in regards to economic growth – accounting for about 60% of the global GDP, but contributing to about 70% of the global carbon footprint and uses 60% of the world’s resources.

areas where the poor and vulnerable would struggle with access to food.

The COVID 19 pandemic took advantage of this, deepening the already deep inequality crisis- targeting more often than not the poorest and most vulnerable communities and has unfortunately stalled efforts to improve gender equality and women’s rights over the last decade. In fact, COVID has impacted women and girls, simply

During the COVID 19 pandemic, it has further impacted the targets of the goal, affecting poor and densely populated urban areas the most. The UN food agency is warning that hunger and therefore famine can rise significantly in urban

“ 1 in 10 children has a disability, but only 28% of people in this category have access to disability benefits”

“

By 2050, 70% of the world’s population is predicted to live in urban settings”

Goal Responsible Consumption & Production

13. Goal Climate Action

Consumption and production, the United Nations 12th Sustainable Development Goal aims to have a sustainable framework and create systems, so that countries use resources in order to drive the global economy in a responsible fashion. Because world-wide consumption and production rests on the use of natural environmental and this impacts the world. And while progress has been made, there is environmental risk that endangers the very system’s on which humankind depends on.

Responsible

The COVID 19 pandemic gives us an opportunity to reinvent ourselves and re-evaluate how countries can responsibility consume and produce in a more modern way without risking our foundation.

Climate

Action, the United Nations 13th Sustainable Development Goal looks at how humankind can curb the trend of climate disaster, because if left untreated, we are heading into uncharted territory.

2019 was the 2nd warmest year on record and co2 records were shattered in the same year. And while the pandemic has helped curve the spread of greenhouse gases, this is just temporary and therefore more permanent action is required to ensure livelihoods will not be disrupted.

“ Humankind is polluting water in rivers and lakes faster than nature can recycle and purify”

“ Oceans have warmed, the amount of snow and ice have diminished and sea levels have risen”

Goal Life Below Water

15. Goal Life On Land

Life

below water, the United Nations 14th Sustainable Development Goal aim is to ensure that water is available for all. Because the ocean drives the global systems that make the world possible to live in. Rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, food and oxygen come from the sea.

Therefore, saving the ocean is a priority as marine biodiversity is vital to the health of people and our planet.

Life

on land, the United Nations 15th Sustainable Development Goal purpose is to let people know that nature is a vital part of humankind. Providing oxygen, regulating our weather pattern, providing our food to name a few. However due to human activity, nature is under duress, as activity has altered close to 75% of the earths surface, resulting in reduced wildlife and nature life. Nearly 1 million animals and plant species are being threatened with extinction and deforestation has also been a major challenge to sustainable development. Affecting the lives of millions of people. As forests play a major role in combating

“Carbon emission from human activities are causing ocean warming acidification and oxygen loss”

climate change.

“Around 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihood , including 70 million indigenous people”

Goal

Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions

Peace, Justice and Strong, the United Nations 16th Sustainable Development Goal aim is to have a world that is safe and equitable and just for all.

Because conflict, insecurity, weak institutions and limited resources to justice pose a real threat to the world. This, as the number of people fleeing war, persecution and conflict has far exceeded 70 million people, in 2018 and that trend will likely rise, given the unrest in Ukraine.

And while births are often a symbol of joy, 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 never have the opportunity to be legally documented. Making them unable to get protection of their rights and accessing justice and social services.

17. Goal Partnerships For The Goals

Partnership for the Goals, the United Nations 17th and last goal is one of hope. Because ultimately none of these goals will met the targets set out alone, and the impacts they hope to make, unless they are in cohesion and in collaboration of one another.

During the COVID 19 pandemic, the worlds economy is on track to decline sharply, in 2020, marking it as the worst recession since the great depression.

So now more than ever, cooperation is needed to ensure that a post pandemic world is fair and equitable for everyone.

“Approximately 28.5 million primary age children who are out of the school environment, live in conflict affected areas”

“Almost half of the world’s population is not connected to the internet, particularly in poorer countries”
