All George Fox employees and students are invited to the university’s first Interprofessional Primary Care Institute open house and continuing medical education event on Saturday, Jan. 18, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.
The gathering is most appropriate for healthcare professionals and advanced students in healthcare-related fields. George Fox attendees will receive free registration by selecting the “$0 IPCI Director” box upon registering at this link. All must register to attend.
Presenting will be Dr. Bruce Arroll, a distinguished New Zealand family physician, researcher and faculty member, who will share on “The First Consultation for Depression in Primary Care: ‘Talk First, Prescribe Later & Diagnose Rarely.'” He is the coauthor of a Cochrane collaboration review of antidepressant effectiveness in primary care and a Focused Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (FACT) expert practitioner.
Arroll will discuss information from the FDA that shows the placebo-antidepressant difference for differing levels of depression severity. He will demonstrate how he utilizes FACT in his family practice to better support people who have depression.
Joining him will be Dr. Patricia Robinson, a psychologist and cofounder of both FACT and the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model, a strategic method to integrate behavioral health clinicians in primary care teams that has received widespread implementation success throughout the U.S. and abroad.
The presentation will be followed by an innovative experiential learning event by the interprofessional team of the IPC Institute.

The season of Advent is upon us, and the Office of Spiritual Life has partnered with faculty and students to publish the 2019 Advent Project. This daily reader is designed, written and created by people in the George Fox community and is intended to point us toward Christ as we await his birth.
Feel free to share it with friends, family and your faith community. Additionally, we will be sending a video at the beginning of each week to introduce each topic (hope, peace, joy and love). We hope it is helpful to you in some form as we celebrate this season of Advent together.
Contact Jamie Johnson (jamiej@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
Don’t forget that the Bruin Store buys back books year-round! Bring your student ID and the textbooks you no longer need, and if we can buy them, you will leave with cash in hand.
If you rented books for fall semester through the Bruin Store, the last day to check those books back in is Friday, Dec. 13. Please bring them to the Bruin Store (along with your student ID) during business hours to avoid any late, processing, or non-return fees.
Did you find the book you need but Amazon sells it for less? No worries! Just show us that the same book is being sold and shipped from Amazon, and we will be happy to match the price.
