Prescription-drug prices continue to seize headlines this election season. Recent drug-pricing scandals—involving EpiPen and Daraprim, older medicines used to treat asthma and malaria, respectively, as well as high list prices for new medicines to counter hepatitis C and cholesterol—seem to offer ammunition to critics who charge that drug manufacturers prioritize profits over patients.
But how are drug prices in the U.S. actually determined? Are the forces of competition being fully harnessed to yield positive results for patients? And how is high-deductible insurance, accelerating fast under Obamacare, affecting access to critical medicines?
Please join Manhattan Institute for a health-care symposium, as distinguished experts discuss the forces driving drug pricing in America—and explore promising new approaches for making medicines more affordable for patients.
All are welcome to join us for our first members' meeting, featuring a documentary screening of Poverty, Inc., and a short presentation by Dr. Adewole, the new faculty Adviser for our BRI-Ibadan chapter. Refreshments will be served.

All are welcome to attend a discussion with Dr. Emilie Scott & Dr. James Gaor of Halcyon Health. What is Direct Primary Care (DPC), and how is it relevant to medical students? Dr. Scott will speak about her primary care practice, which uses the direct primary care business model. In this model, patients pay an initial enrollment fee and then a monthly fee for primary care services.We think you'll want to know about this non-traditional and expanding method of delivering quality, affordable care without insurance companies or government middlemen getting between patients and doctors.
All are welcome to attend discussion of this controversial topic, hosted by BRI-OSUMC. Refreshments will be served. Please use the green "Register" button top right so that we can be sure to have enough food for everyone.
The legal landscape of physician practices is a scarce topic in medical school education. This discussion will clearly cover the legal status and language of Physician Assisted Suicide (or Physician Assisted Death, "PAD") in the US and internationally, the future of PAD in the U.S., and the ethical considerations brought forth by both sides of the argument.
The short HBO Vice episode "Right to Die" (2016) will be shown at the beginning of the hour.
Interested in hearing the practitioner's perspective on how healthcare economics and patient care might be impacted by the recent election?

The Saint Louis University BRI chapter is proud to screen Poverty, Inc. to students and faculty. It is a bold look at “the business of doing good.” Please join us for refreshments and lively discussion following the film.
From the film’s website:
“The West has positioned itself as the protagonist of development, giving rise to a vast multi-billion dollar poverty industry — the business of doing good has never been better. Yet the results have been mixed, in some cases even catastrophic, and leaders in the developing world are growing increasingly vocal in calling for change.
Drawing from over 200 interviews filmed in 20 countries, Poverty, Inc. unearths an uncomfortable side of charity we can no longer ignore.”
