From February - June 2022, this Oregon Health and Science University Center for Ethics in Health Care virtual lecture series, Trust in the ruins: in the wake of a global pandemic, can we reimagine health and rebuild trust in the field and practice of medicine? In this five-part lecture series, experts from a variety of disciplines will discuss the important concept of trust. What is trust, and why is it important for healthcare?  In American medicine today, mistrust abounds. Why is this the case, and what can medical practitioners and health systems do to establish trust afresh? Guest speakers will offer historical perspectives on trust, mistrust, and medicine, and will provide strategies for cultivating trustworthy patient-clinician relationships, and trustworthy systems of care, in Oregon and beyond.
