Q2 What do you mean by the term Genomic Medicine?
Q3 How does Genomic Medicine relate to cancer therapy?
Q4 The traditional medical routes of cancer therapy is chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. How is this new area of genomic medicine going to potentially change the face of cancer management?
Q5 What are the terms personalized medicine and precision medicine?
Q6 Why has personalized medicine become such a focus recently?
Q7 Why do you see as the major breakthroughs that have led us to where we are in personalized medicine
Q8 What are the next challenges in genomics?
Q9 There have been breakthroughs in immune therapies – what is happening there?

BC 32: Matt Hall – Sexuality and Sexual Health – Challenging the Stigma

BACKchat PODCAST Matt Hall 42: Sexuality and Sexual Health – Challenging the Stigma
In 2002 Matt Hall was the first Australian Rules footballer to come out as gay at any level, and in this podcast he discusses overcoming stigma and fear in a time of great uncertainty, and how so much has changed between 2002 and now. In this podcast Matt discusses the importance of educating society, debunking myths and fear campaigns, his inspirations and mentors, and his latest challenge – the Kokoda Stronger Than You Think trek. Matt chats about the AFL PRIDE game, on the 22nd July, between St Kilda and Sydney Swans, and what it means.
Matt is a beyondblue ambassador and Lifeline Crisis counsellor. His story is truly amazing and will challenge all the things you think you know about sexuality, stigma, and living with HIV.
Matt Halls Biog
Matt holds a Master of Business (Sport Management) and Bachelor of Arts qualification. He is a beyondbue Ambassador and part of their Public Speakers Bureau. He volunteers as a Lifeline Crisis Counsellor and sits on the Board of Management for Queensland Positive People. Currently Matt is a Company Director for an Event Management organisation.
Matt details what happened in 1998 that changed legal precedent for HIV positive people worldwide and the moral obligation that his mentor helped him through each stage of the process, as the first person with HIV to be banned from playing Australian Rules football.
A person living with HIV who has an undetectable viral load is non-Infectious – did you know this?
In 2002, Matt came out as being the first footballer playing Australian Rules Football and being gay. What is the difference with support if an AFL player playing at the highest level came out, today? How is AFLW leading the way with anti-homophobia?
Matt chats about what the PRIDE game, on the 22nd July, between St Kilda and Sydney Swans means?
What difference would it be if an AFL player, playing at the highest level came out being gay. It’s interesting to observe that a lesbian has more possibly more acceptance about being gay than a homosexual male.
In 1987, the Grim Reaper advertising campaign raised public awareness about AIDS and the concept of safe sex with contraception. The advertisement depicted the Grim Reaper bowling a ball in a bowling alley knocking over men, women and children pins, which represented AIDS victims. What negative effect did this campaign have on society’s attitudes towards people with HIV?
Matt discusses his latest challenge – The Kokoda Stronger than you Think trek -where 18 HIV positive people and their supporters completed the trek.. This has been organized by Olympian Ji Wallace who won a Silver Medal in trampolining at the Sydney Olympics and is also gay. Ji’s 69-year-old father came on the trek and reflects his father’s change in thinking of not understanding homosexuality to now supporting his son who is gay with HIV. This will be a documentary and discuss the view to squash the theme of HIV stigma and discrimination.
Matts reasoning to be involved with beyondblue as an Ambassador and part of their Public Speakers Bureau,
Currently Matt is a Company Director for an Event Management organisation with a focus on Charities and Not For Profits.
The 2017 AFL Pride Game between the Sydney Swans and St Kilda football clubs on July 22 at the SCG.

2. Wayne has been very busy in the last week casting his opinion on multiple media outlets regarding Alex Fasolo – elite Collingwood footballer – mentioning his battles with Depression and the courage Alex demonstrated.

5. A ex senior coach of the AFL declared that he gave feedback to his young players by texting. What’s Wayne’s view here? Wayne mentions how a coach like Brendon Bolton spends energy on looking after the well being of his players so conversations can occur readily face-to-face.
6. The keyboard warrior Vs a face to face conversation – Kim’s and Wayne’s view. Wayne raises that any conflict on social media is not a private conversation but a public conversation.
7.Whose responsibility is it to raise children in this digital world? Parents or School – listen to Wayne’s view.

11. Some rules with adolescents in the family home – door closing, iPhones in bedrooms – what are some options?
12. Wayne relates a junior coaching situation where a disruptive boys frustrations was not about his conduct at football but fears about his father being diagnosed with cancer.
13 Where can adolescents go, if they are having trouble with an mental health issue?
Wayne’s Take Home Messages.

This passion and commitment has been the driving force behind the creation of ‘PukaUp’, a social enterprise that focuses on mental health, emotional wellbeing and importantly suicide prevention.

BC 28: Gerry Clum – Rubicon, Chiropractic In Australia

Today’s BACKchat is a BACKchat podcast with a difference… as I am discussing an area of Chiropractic that influences the professions politics and education in Australia.
I will preface by releasing a Facebook post I sent to some Australian FB forums :
The Rubicon conference is coming to Melbourne on April 8th and 9th, 2017.
Rubicon states :
“We invite you to join your colleagues from around the world as we gather in Melbourne for the annual conference of The Rubicon Group. We are pleased to be visiting Australia as we support the efforts related to the development and implementation of the Australian College of Chiropractic in Adelaide, South Australia.”
For some, there is uncertainty about the role of the Rubicon group . BACKchat podcast has asked to interview an Executive Director of Rubicon -Dr Gerry Clum – for an open discussion, transparency and look to answer some misconceptions. Gerry has kindly accepted.
I asked some forums – from all persuasions – to submit some questions and I have included some in the podcast. We have made the final call on this based on the duration of the podcast – we can’t be here for hours – and keeping this to relevance to Australia.
So firstly, a Biog of Dr Gerry Clum
Dr. Gerry Clum is a 1973 graduate of the Palmer College of Chiropractic who has been active in the educational and infrastructure aspects of the chiropractic profession throughout his entire career. Dr. Clum served for 30 years as the president of Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco area and presently holds a faculty appointment at Life University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA and serves as the Executive Director of a collaboration of seven chiropractic institutions from three continents known as The Rubicon Group. Dr. Clum has served as an officer or member of the board of directors of the Council on Chiropractic Education (US), the Association of Chiropractic Colleges, the World Federation of Chiropractic, the International Chiropractors Association, the Integrated Health Policy Consortium and the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.
Q1 For some background, thirty years at the helm as the president of Life Chiropractic College West will tell me you have seen Chiropractic flourish – struggle and everything in between in the USA. What’s your view on the way that Chiropractic has been like in the USA over these decades and heading as we speak?
Q2 What’s been the win/losses for Chiropractic in the USA and what can we learn from this in Australia?
Q3 We have all heard of the Sackett triad to improve patient outcomes that include clinical experience AND patient values and expectations AND best available clinical evidence. How do we reconcile the paucity of Chiropractic research between these other two elements?
Q4 For Chiropractic students in first year Chiropractic , who probably don’t understand the divisions in chiropractic , the profession has had its splits. Historically, it was the straights vs mixers and now I guess we have the hard core evidence based Vs the hard core vitalists and the rest of the profession , somewhere in between. With your career in education , what’s your interpretation of this chiropractic landscape , Gerry?
Q5 With the formulation of Rubicon – what was the trigger in its creation?
Q6 If we turn to the Australian landscape, we have a situation of the four universities with RMIT, Macquarie ,Murdoch and CQU . Why do you think there is a need for the development of a private college in Australia?
Q7 Chiropractors have been criticized with not being collaborative…I think some comes that our teaching clinics for students are not in settings that necessarily involve podiatrists, psychologists, exercise physiologists or even physiotherapists or even GPs etc .What is your view of chiropractors being collaborative vs working in silos?
As we know in life we have supporters and adversaries, when anyone takes a strong strand on something. What I really appreciate here Gerry is that we have met only once very briefly years ago when you were in Australia. Hence there is no background connection.
I have said to you there is uncertainty by some Australians chiropractors and groups on the objectives of Rubicon and you have said to me you would like these questions answered.
These are the questions – unedited with the name of the author attached – as I mentioned would happen on the post.
Q8 From Chiropractor – Stewart Ward. Why does the Rubicon feel it has the mandate to interfere with Australian educational standards?
Q9 From Chiropractor – Alex Fielding. What is Rubicon’s definition of subluxation and what high impact research does it know of discussing its impact on human health
Q10 From Chiropractor – Andrew Fielding. What is Rubicon’s views of the biopsychosocial model of health care?
Q11 From Chiropractor – Andrew Fielding. Why does Rubicon attempt to limit chiropractic’s scope to purely subluxation, given the paucity of evidence regarding the subluxations existence?
Q12 From Chiropractor – Andrew Fielding. What has Rubicon done to improve the educational standards of chiropractors?
Q13 From Chiropractor Mike Swain. Does the traditional principles of Chiropractic mean to advocate practice/education standards from 1895?
Q14 From Chiropractor – Matthew Bulman. What is the Rubicon’s position on commonly accepted public health measures, specifically vaccination? Does the new school in Adelaide plan to incorporate commonly accepted public health measures, such as the benefits of vaccination, into its curriculum.
If it views vaccination as a non-chiropractic issue, does it support the government’s position that vaccination according to best evidence is an effective means for promoting public health?
