June 2025 Journal Club Podcast Title: Assessing Neurosurgery Training: Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Case Minimums Versus Surgical Autonomy To read journal article: https://journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/fulltext/2025/06000/assessing_neurosurgery_training__accreditation.19.aspx Author: Michael Haglund Guest Faculty: Gabriel Zada Resident Planner: Laura Zima Moderator: Rafael Vega
Too busy to read The Lens? Listen to our weekly newsletter summary here!In this week's episode, we discuss:Orbital masses and red eyes are correlated with worse prognosis in retinoblastoma. Comprehensive study suggests women in ACGME-accredited ophthalmology residencies attain lower surgical and procedural volumes than their male counterparts.Healthy lifestyle factors implicated in improved retinal health and reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration.
In an April 23rd executive order (EO), the president of the United States alleges that the Liaison Committee for Medical Education (LCME) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) are requiring medical schools and residency programs to pursue unlawful discrimination through DEI policies. The EO calls for the US Department of Education to “assess whether to suspend or terminate” them, and to “streamline the process” for recognizing new accreditors to replace them. In addition, medical journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine, are getting letters from a US Attorney, calling them “partisans in various scientific debates,” and requesting information. As a follow up to our last episode on authoritarianism and its implications for the medical profession, we consider these new developments from two perspectives: On the one hand we look for evidence to support the government's claims; and, on the other, we consider how they fit into the authoritarian's playbook of capitalizing on polarization to breakdown civil society and consolidate power. There are things physicians and other health professionals can and should be doing now – and we propose a few -- to protect our profession from an authoritarian incursion that threatens our commitment so scientific integrity, and to a medical education system that, however imperfect, is informed by expert knowledge and professional values.
The ACGME is planning to add a year to Emergency Medicine residency training. Emergency medicine stands at a crossroads. Should EM residency training be standardized at four years?On the show today are three Emergency Medicine residency program directors.

Big news for emergency medicine residencies! The ACGME is proposing several major changes to EM program requirements. To comply with these new requirements, programs would need to be 4 years long. This is a hotly debated topic at the moment as most EM residencies in the U.S. currently are 3 year programs. So what are the proposed changes? How would they affect the curriculum and training for future EM physicians? To answer these questions, we sit down with UC Davis EM Program Director and medical education specialist, Dr. Aaron Danielson. What do you think of these proposed changes? We'd love to hear from you.

In this discussion, Dr. Jerry Rabalais, Dr. Staci Saner, and Dr. Laura Weingartner from the HSC Office of Professional & Educational Development explore the clinician educator milestones—a competency-based framework introduced in 2022 by accrediting bodies like ACGME, AAMC, ACCME, and AACOM for assessing clinician educators. Spanning five levels from novice to expert, these milestones help educators evaluate key skills, knowledge, and behaviors across 20 sub-competencies. Not intended for accreditation (yet), these milestones can aid in self-assessment, peer review, and program development, prompting clinicians to reflect on their teaching abilities and set improvement goals. They discuss how they've integrated these milestones to identify gaps in health professions education, develop workshops, and provide targeted feedback. They encourage listeners to assess themselves against a chosen sub-competency and to read the milestone framework's introductory guidance for a structured self-evaluation, enhancing their self-directed learning and reflective practice as educators.

In 2003, the ACGME, the accrediting body for residencies, created limits on how much residents could be required to work. 80 hours a week, a maximum of 28 hours of continuous duty per shift, at least 8 hours off between shifts, and a mandatory 4 days off a month.When you say it out loud, it's kind of insane that these were the limits, right. How much more could you work?We're now 20 years out from the duty-hour policy. Our guest for this episode is Andy White, my former pediatric residency program director at Washington University in St Louis and the current chair of pediatrics at Saint Louis University.Click here to read the article published by friend of the show, Jess Adkins Murphy***********If you have any feedback, show/interview recommendations, or want to collaborate on the show, please reach out!Email: Tama.TheMDM@gmail.comInstagram: TheMDM.podcastTwitter: theMDMpodcast***********Host: Tama Thé | Pediatric Emergency MedicineProducer: Melissa Puffenbarger | Pediatric Emergency MedicineCommunications Director: Katrianna Urrea | MD Candidate

Junior faculty and trainees should consider taking advantage of education opportunities in various Cardiology sub-specialty societies (ex: American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, ASNC). This may include involvement in different committees. These opportunities are great ways to build connections and establish a reputation on a national level. This can help lead to other opportunities with larger national organizations (ex: ACC, AHA). Cardiology Training Oversight The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) both have regulatory power over Cardiology training, providing the minimum clinical experience standards for Cardiology fellowship training programs.The ACGME oversees accreditation for Cardiology fellowships.The ABIM defines the requirements for eligibility for certification of individuals. Over time, the ACGME has transitioned to placing an emphasis on quality improvement, with a particular focus on continuous programmatic improvement. The American College of Cardiology (ACC) helps define more granular recommendations for Cardiology training programs and their curriculum.Periodically the ACC releases training guidelines for Cardiology fellowship programs, called Core Cardiovascular Training Statements, or COCATS. This document provides more contemporary, detailed, and specialty-specific recommendations for Cardiology training as compared to ACGME.While ACC has no regulatory authority over Cardiology training programs, COCATS documents provide a roadmap for program...
Dr. Amanda Logue, Chief Medical Officer for Ochsner Lafayette General, joined Discover Lafayette to discuss Ochsner's new General Surgery Residency Program. Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the surgical residency program received nearly 600 applications for three coveted spots. The 5-year surgery program is expected to grow, training a new class of three residents per academic year, wth the inaugural class beginning July 1, 2024. Ochsner is also pursuing accreditation of Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Transitional Year Programs. On April 16, 2024, Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center, the region's only Level 2 Trauma Center, celebrated the launch of its new General Surgery Residency Program, which will begin July 1, 2024. Located inside the new, recently constructed tower at Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center, the completed Graduate Medical Education space will be 17,115 square feet. Phase 1 includes eight resident sleep rooms, a resident lounge, classrooms, rounding rooms and lactation rooms. Phase 2 will house numerous simulation labs and additional classroom space. Ziad Ashkar, MD, will serve as the Designated Institutional Official (DIO), ensuring the program meets the rigorous accreditation standards set by the ACGME. Dr. Dennis Eschete will serve as the Program Director for General Surgery. About 25 surgeons will be rotating, with the core group of teaching physicians being Dr. Willard Mosier, Ochsner Lafayette General's head of trauma, Dr. Jason Breaux, Dr. Michael Horaist and Dr. Racheed “Joe” Ghanami. The new residency program is both a strategic response to the escalating physician shortage and a model for innovative care solutions leading to increased patient access. In a 2024 report, the Association of American Medical Colleges projected that physician demand will grow faster than supply, leading to a projected total shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. Moreover, Louisiana is projected to rank third nationally for a shortage of physicians by 2030, according to a Human Resources for Health analysis. Speaking of the physician shortage being experience here and nationwide, Dr. Amanda Logue shared that 140,000 patients came through Ochsner University Clinics in 2023. "It's a huge volume, there's a huge need for more physicians." Ochsner Lafayette General's new surgery residency program doesn't replace its ongoing partnership with LSU School of Medicine's at University Hospital & Cinics; it complements it. Dr. Logue stated, "The reality is there's a critical need for more physicians, which is why we started our own program in addition to the existing one. This program also signifies our deep commitment to advancing medical education and addressing the dire need for surgeons in our healthcare system." Importantly, data shows that most physicians practice within 70 miles of where they trained, so Ochsner hopes that Lafayette will be a compelling place for their residents to start their medical careers. The goal of the program is not only to provide top-tier educational opportunities, such as training at the region's only Level 2 Trauma Center, but also to inspire innovation and compassion among the residents. The residents will learn to navigate the complexities of healthcare delivery with a patient-first approach, having the opportunity to take part in cutting-edge research and be at the forefront of developing new surgical techniques. Ochsner Health is Louisiana's top healthcare educator of physicians. Annually Ochsner and its partners educate thousands of healthcare professionals. It currently offers 33 Acreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education programs, training over 330 residents and fellows each year. Dr. Logue is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Clinical Informatics, having completed her undergraduate training at LSU in microbiology,

Episode Summary: This episode features an enlightening conversation between Dr. Kellie Satterfield and Dr. Rao Chundury on the vital aspects of contract negotiations in the healthcare industry. They focus on empowering physicians with the knowledge to identify suitable job opportunities, understand and negotiate contracts effectively, and the importance of being well-informed throughout this process. Dr. Satterfield recounts her journey into contract negotiations, sparked during her role as Union President at the University of Washington. Her transition from academia to private practice deepened her understanding of contracts, wages, contract-pitfalls and self-advocacy. Similarly, Dr. Chundury shares his experiences of moving between academia and private practice, exploring the complexities of contracts at each stage. Together, they discuss the various environments physicians may encounter, from academic institutions to private and larger healthcare systems. The episode provides a comprehensive overview of considerations for medical professionals, whether they are new or experienced, when exploring job opportunities and contract specifics. The goal is to illuminate the often overlooked yet critical aspects of a medical career that can ensure professional growth and personal satisfaction. Key Takeaways: Knowledge of contract negotiation is essential for all physicians no matter the practice setting Academic and larger healthcare systems (ie. Kaiser) may offer less flexibility in contract terms, whereas private practices might allow more room for negotiation. Approaching contract negotiations with a clear understanding of what constitutes a fair and balanced deal is advisable, considering personal and professional priorities. Essential elements of physician contracts, such as compensation structure, benefits, vacation time, non-compete clauses, and termination provisions, demand careful attention. Average base salaries can vary significantly across different practice environments, with academic and private equity settings generally offering higher initial salaries.

In order to make the right decisions you need to know your mission. Whether that's been instilled in you since childhood or comes through new inspirations, balance is all about clarifying your mission. 2. When figuring out what your mission is, look back at your best and worst days. Piece out what happened in both that made them good or bad. Seek out the activities that bring you joy and be sure to re-evaluate when necessary. 3. In order to make the most out of any mentoring relationship, you must be intentional. Yes, they want to help you but you need to be able to define what you're looking to achieve and proactively monitor that as they help you on the journey.

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents! Trauma-informed parenting (instead of parenting from trauma, parenting from a healed Self) Did you know words are only 7% of our communication? The rest is our body language, voice, facial expressions, and other non-verbal means. NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming Training will not only help you understand language, but it will give you mastery so that you can manage any conversation and conflict with ease and grace. It's not called the language of influence for nothing. Meet Dr. Maiysha Clairborne, an Integrative Physician, Master Coach and trainer of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnosis & Time Line Therapy®, & founder of the Mind Re-Mapping Co.

In this candid and important episode, we delve into the often sensitive and overlooked topic of intimacy and sexuality during and after cancer. We're excited to be joined by Dr. Samantha Siegel, an inspiring internist from Kaiser Permanente, who brings both her professional expertise and her personal triumph over relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma into this conversation.Before we dive in, we want to provide a forewarning that this episode will address explicit sexual topics. We believe it's essential to engage openly and honestly with these matters, as they play a significant role in the lives of those facing cancer. Dr. Siegel's insights will provide valuable guidance, but we understand that this content might not be suitable for all listeners. For further insights into the intersection of cancer and sexuality, don't miss our previous episode featuring Dr. Anne Katz, a certified sexuality counselor and Clinical Nurse Specialist. You can listen to that episode HERE, where Dr. Katz expertly discusses breaking the silence on sexuality in oncology, navigating vulnerable conversations for survivors and their partners, and finding body acceptance after cancer-related physical changes. This episode is a reminder that thriving beyond cancer involves addressing all dimensions of life, including intimacy. Join us for this essential conversation with Dr. Samantha Siegel, as we navigate the complexities of intimacy and cancer, offer insights for survivors, care partners, and healthcare professionals alike.Guest Bio:Dr. Samantha Siegel is an internist in Kaiser Permanente. She has overcome relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma, including an autologous bone marrow transplant in June 2022. This has made her passionate about cancer survivorship, integrative medicine and the concept of personal narrative impacting the illness experience. She hopes to pioneer a longitudinal cancer survivorship care model, beginning at diagnosis, that can be replicated in other health systems and to elevate the status of cancer survivorship within ACGME to a distinct, multidisciplinary board certification. Dr. Siegel lives in Davis with her husband, three kids and energetic dog. They enjoy outdoor activities and plant based living.This podcast is sponsored in part by Kaiser Permanente, Elizabeth A.

Pat Loehrer: Welcome to Oncology, Etc., an ASCO Education Podcast. I'm Pat Loehrer, Director of Global Oncology and Health Equity at Indiana University. Dave Johnson: And I'm Dave Johnson, a Medical Oncologist at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. If you're a regular listener to our podcast, welcome back. If you're new to Oncology, Etc., the purpose of the podcast is to introduce our listeners to interesting and inspirational people and topics in and outside the world of oncology. Pat Loehrer: Imagine knowing in your heart what you wanted to be in life. It usually takes people decades to figure that out, but our next guest knew at age three that she wanted to be a doctor and, later in high school, to be an oncologist. She's achieved much in her lifetime and has incorporated the "pay it forward" by mentoring many others. Dave Johnson: Our guest today is Dr. Edith Mitchell. I first met Edith over 40 years ago when we were both starting out our careers as junior faculty. She grew up in rural Tennessee, and as Pat mentioned, remarkably, she chose a career in oncology at a very early age in high school, despite the fact that oncology was barely a specialty at that time and the lack of role models, particularly role models of color, and women in particular. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry with distinction from Tennessee State University and a medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia and Richmond. In 1973, while still attending medical school, Edith joined the Air Force, receiving a commission through the Health Profession Scholarship Program, and eventually rose to the rank of Brigadier General. She completed a residency in internal medicine at Meharry Medical College in Nashville and a fellowship at Medical Oncology at Georgetown University. Her research interests are broad and involve new drug evaluation, development of new therapeutic regimens, combined modality therapy strategies, patient selection criteria, and supportive care for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. She is the leader of the GI oncology program at Jefferson Medical College, Director of the Center to Eliminate Cancer Disparities, and Enterprise Vice President for Cancer Disparities at Jefferson's Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. She's held a number of leadership positions, including those in ASCO, and she's a former president of the National Medical Association. I could go on forever. So, Edith, welcome, and thanks for joining us on Oncology, Etc. Dr. Edith Mitchell: And thank you so much for the invitation, Dave and Pat, it is a pleasure. Dave Johnson: You grew up on a farm, as I recall, in Tennessee. Perhaps you could tell us a little about your early life. Dr. Edith Mitchell: I grew up on a farm that my great grandfather's mother received about 1863 when the Emancipation Proclamation was made. I was the fifth child in my family. My parents were working, my older siblings were in school, so my great-grandparents were my babysitters, so I spent a lot of time with them. He was 89 at the time, became ill, and I overheard family members and neighbors say that they couldn't take him to the hospital because Blacks were not treated properly in the hospital, so they were going to take care of him at home. A physician made a house call. When he left, I told my great-grandfather, “Pa, when I grow up, I'll be a doctor just like Dr. Logan and I'll make sure you get good health care.” So, at three years, I decided I would become a doctor and I would make sure that Blacks received good health care. My work in disparity started when I was three. So, after my sophomore year in high school, there was a National Science Foundation program in Memphis at LeMoyne-Owen College. So, I applied and was accepted. And part of the time in Memphis that year, we were given opportunities to go to St. Jude. So my time at St. Jude made the decision that I would become an oncologist. I became really fascinated by cancers and in pathology, use of the microscope, and how cancers were all different, how they varied from the normal tissue for areas such as the colon or the stomach or the pancreas. Dave Johnson: It's amazing that that early in your life you made that kind of decision. Can I back up just one moment? I want to ask you briefly about the doctor that visited your great-grandfather, Dr. Logan. Dr. Edith Mitchell: Dr. Logan was a family physician, African American, and he had a great interest in Blacks being healthy. In fact, when the polio vaccine was made public, Blacks could only go one day per week because you couldn't go the times when whites were there. Dr. Logan obtained the vaccine and he would line the children up at his office. He gave me my first polio vaccine. He was a very handsome man. And, you know, Dave, I found out later that the medical school that he attended in Memphis was one of the ones closed as a result of the 1910 Flexner Report. So he had to go to Meharry in Nashville and take other courses to maintain his license to practice medicine. Pat Loehrer: Were you the first one to go into medicine? Tell me about that background and how your family influenced you personally. Dr. Edith Mitchell: Neither of my parents finished 8th grade, but they were very smart. They pushed their seven children to do well. They provided educational materials in our home and encouraged us to work and to take advantage of opportunities. Dave Johnson: Let's move forward a little bit. I thought I knew a lot about you, Edith, but I didn't realize that you were a Brigadier General. What was the motivation for joining the service in the ‘70s when you were at med school? Was it scholarship funding, or was there just patriotic zeal or a little of both? Dr. Edith Mitchell: My main objective was, for financial reasons - a scholarship covering all expenses of medical school, plus a monthly stipend. When I was in medical school, one of my laboratory instructors told me about this new scholarship program, and I said, "Okay, I just want to graduate from medical school." So he says, "Well, I know people in the surgeon general's office. I'll have them send you the information." He did, and I looked at it and didn't remember David, that my husband filled out the application. After my neurosciences final exam, I came home, and he says, "Your commission came in the mail today." So I said, "Okay." He says, "Well, I can swear you in. We can't do it at home because you have to have a witness. You take a nap, and then we're going out to job control, which was where all the aircraft controlled, the control room." We went there. We've got a picture of the swearing-in, and we then went to the officers club. It was Friday, and there were lots of people in his group from the Air Force Academy, from Citadel, Virginia Tech, and others. And they were all talking. "Yeah, Edith got a mail-order commission.” So I owed the Air Force two years, and I practiced at Andrews Air Force Base, which was the presidential squadron. You hear the president always leaving Andrews Air Force Base. So I think I was 29 maybe, but I was young, and here I was taking care of senators and other important people in government, and these are people I'd only seen on TV before. So I had a really good experience. I received many accolades, but also many letters from people for whom I cared for. And I was therefore invited to stay on in the Air Force, either go to Walter Reed or to San Antonio. I said, "No, I'm going to Georgetown." So one of the VIPs, if I mentioned his name, you would know, said and wrote a letter for me that the Air Force should give me whatever I wanted and whatever I needed to continue in the Air Force. So I received my Air Force pay while I was a fellow at Georgetown. So I stayed on. I got promoted early and engaged in Air Force work. I loved it, and I did well in that atmosphere and stayed on. After my second child was born, I decided I could not continue active duty and take care of two kids. So I left the Air Force, went to the University of Missouri, and someone called me one day and said, "You know, I hear you are at the University of Missouri now. Would you consider joining the National Guard?" I went, “ Joining the National Guard? Why would the National Guard want an oncologist?” And the information was, the Air National Guard wants good doctors, and you've got a great record. They invited me to St. Louis to just see the National Guard squadron there. I filled out the application while I was there and in a few days was appointed to the National Guard. So after being there for a few years, I was discussing with one of the higher-ranking people in the National Guard who was in Washington, but visiting St. Louis. He said to me, "You know, you've done great work." He had gone through my record, and he said, "And you know, you're one of the people being considered to be in a group for promotion. Promotion at that time meant that it was a higher rank." So he said, "There's one thing you don't have in your records, however, and other competitors in your group have." I said, "What's that?" “You haven't been to flight school.” I said, "Okay." He said, "And everybody who is going to be competing with you will have gone to flight school, and having a flight record will be an important part." So I was in my 40s. My oldest child was 14. I went to flight school and I got my certification, and obviously, I got promoted. And I am the first woman doctor to become a General in the history of the Air Force. And it was really interesting. I'm a Brigadier General. I'm invited to give a talk someplace, and there were lots of people there. So the person introducing me said, "And she is the first African American woman to become a General in the history of the United States Air Force." So I get up to speak and I thank him for this introduction. And I said, "Yes, I was the first Black woman physician to become a General. I said, but, you know, my ancestry says that I'm 30% something white. So I guess I was the first white woman, too." There was a big roar. But I loved every opportunity, and I worked hard at every opportunity. So when I was in the active duty Air Force, I was chief of the cancer center at Travis Air Force Base. So I made my application for research with the Northern California Oncology group, got, they said, one of the highest ratings of the applicants at that time. And I received a phone call from Air Force administration saying “Congratulations, but the Air Force cannot accept this funding from the National Cancer Institute.” There is a law saying you can't transfer money from one area of the government to the other, as they called it, a "gift," but it was a grant. So I call Phil Schein and I tell him about the situation. And he already knew that I had received a top report, and he knew that I had the grant before I knew. So he says, "Well, let's see what we can do.” Now, remember, Vince DeVita was the NCI Chair at that time and Dr. Rosenberg. At every ASCO meeting Phil, Vince, and Dr. Rosenberg would get together and they would bring their fellows. And Bill said, “Let me see what I can do.'" So somebody at NCI made some things happen. And I got this call from Saul Rosenberg. "Edith, congratulations." So I said, "Well, thank you, but I didn't expect a phone call from you." And he says, "Well, there have been some changes. Your grant, the face sheet has been changed." I said, "Oh.” Pat Loehrer: Your husband again. Dr. Edith Mitchell: I can't say who or what, but it had Stanford on it. So my grant went to Stanford. I'm sure they appreciated the kick you get. But Dr. Rosenberg said, "Your grant is now Stanford. We're setting up an account for you at Stanford, and the funding goes to Stanford.” So I had people working for me at the Air Force Cancer Center who were Stanford employees. Dave Johnson: Edith, there are still too few African American and particularly African American men in medicine. What's your perspective on that? Dr. Edith Mitchell: I think that many people are not given opportunities, and I've been concerned about Blacks and other racial and ethnic minorities not entering medicine, and particularly regarding oncology. So fewer than 5% of all practicing physicians in this country identify as Black. Little more than 5% identify as Hispanic. And I've been trying to do something about that. So ECOG-ACRIN has been very good about allowing me, and I set up with others, but I was the lead, a program for individuals - they could either be medical students, residents, fellows, or early faculty - to attend ECOG-ACRIN. And as a result of that program, we identified 12 individuals for each of the two ECOG-ACRIN annual meetings. We bring people in, and that has been a success. There's one person I introduced when she was a resident, she then did a fellowship in oncology, and it is now in her first year as faculty. And we have students mainly from Tennessee State. I do maintain very close relationships with Tennessee State, and I have the first Tennessee State student who has just been admitted to medical school at Jefferson. So trying to work with them. As a result of my work with the National Medical Association and the International Myeloma Foundation, we have a group of medical students that have been mentored for oncology. Whether they will become oncologists, I don't know, but they all 12 are doing well in medical school, and with some anticipation they might select oncology as their area of specialty. We set them up with an individual mentor, various oncologists around the country, and they have conducted research with their mentor. So I'm doing things that I think will be helpful to individuals. And I think we're not giving Blacks enough opportunities. Even in entering medical school, the number of Blacks entering most majority medical schools is still very low. Somewhere nine or ten students per year, Blacks entering medical schools. And also there has been a study conducted by the ACGME, which is the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, looking at graduate studies in oncology. Do you know that most of the oncologists have been trained at a few medical schools? And there are, I think it was 109 programs did not have a single minority student in the fellowship program. And that's terrible. I think that all fellowship programs should have some racial or ethnic fellows in their programs. Dave Johnson: Yeah. One of the disturbing statistics that I've read from the AAMC is that the number of African American men applying to medical school in 2023 and 2022 is actually less than the number that applied in the ‘70s. It's puzzling to me why we've not been able to attract young men into the medical profession, and perhaps it's because there's a sense of not being wanted or encouraged into the profession. More African American women are applying, but even that number is small, at least in terms of the increase in what we've seen. Pat Loehrer: Edith. You're also the Associate Director of Diversity Affairs at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. What does the recent Supreme Court decision against Harvard in terms of admissions policy, how are you viewing that now at Jefferson? Dr. Edith Mitchell: So I think that the Supreme Court decision certainly was disappointing, but it is what it is, and we've got to deal with it. That is the Supreme Court. So my suggestion and what I am telling students that they have to do, you do have the essay. So when I applied to medical school, I did not talk about Dr. Logan, my growing up on the farm, or my parents not finishing 8th grade. But if I were applying to medical school now, I would use all of that background to include in my essay. And the Supreme Court didn't say that you couldn't include that information in your essay. It said the schools could not use your racial background as a part of the equation, but your letter is still there, and therefore, I would include all of that in the essay, so that you do have an advantage. We've just got to be able to do what we've got to do, not put the university or the medical school at risk because of the Supreme Court decision. But there's nothing in that decision that says you can't include that information in your letter. Dave Johnson: I have one question. What career advice would you offer your younger self? If you could speak to your 30-year-old self based on your knowledge, experience, what career advice would you give yourself? Dr. Edith Mitchell: So the one thing that I did not do when I was about 30 years old and I'm not sure I even knew about it, I think I could have done more in health policy, and the one thing that I have not done is become a White House fellow. And that's usually early in your career plan. But I think my research would have suffered had I done that. And I still say I don't know that I made bad choices. Dave Johnson: No, you didn't make bad choices. Knowing you, you could have been a White House fellow and done everything else you did. Pat Loehrer: And your husband did not make a bad choice either. Dave Johnson: Evidently not. Pat Loehrer: Edith, thank you so much for joining us. You've had such an incredible life, and it's so rich, and we deeply appreciate your spending time with us.

Everyone says we need more REI Fellows, but how do we get them? In this episode, Dr. Rachel Weinerman sheds light on what is required to make more REI Fellowships and Fellowship Programs, and why those two solutions aren't exactly the same. Dr. Weinerman talks about: Creating REI fellowships: Exploring the steps in establishing robust REI fellowship programs. REI fellowship funding and operation: What Medicare pays for vs what the institution pays for. What an REI must do vs what another ‘IVF specialist' can do Specific resources that SREI and ASRM can contribute to Fellowship growth ACGME's role vs ABOG's role in accreditation and certification The limitations and scarcity of Privademic Partnerships
Episode 98. This episode covers how to use residency navigator (also see my episode on using other resources like FREIDA and residency explorer). You will find the full list of residency programs on the ACGME website. I also discuss the most important factors to consider when choosing programs to add to your residency list and the importance of making a short list within your list of programs you'll be applying to. I then go into detail about how I formatted my own residency program spreadsheet, which included all of the data on programs that I chose to track, how it informed where to apply to, and how I updated the spreadsheet during interview season after ERAS applications were due. ***Editing Service and One-on-One Consultation for Pre-Med and Medical Students (CV, personal statement, applications): https://www.fiverr.com/firstlinepod *** First Line is created and hosted by Dr. Aubrey Ann Jackson.

Sometimes, finding your passion does not always follow a linear path. Dr. Daniel Diaz knows this from experience firsthand. Before pursuing medicine, he thought he might become a mechanical engineer or a physical therapist. However, in this episode we learn that not succeeding is not the same thing as failing. With a lifelong interest in sports and a commitment to his community, Dr. Diaz eventually found his true calling in sports medicine. His passion and enthusiasm for this specialty is evident as he paves the road for an increase in sports medicine integration at federally qualified health centers. Through his leadership, AltaMed now has a new ACGME-accredited fellowship that will build a pipeline training more sports medicine physicians committed to helping underserved patients. If you are interested in learning more about AltaMed's new Sports Medicine Fellowship, email us at smfellowship@altamed.org. Click here to view this episode's transcript.

D.O. or Do Not: The Osteopathic Physician's Journey for Premed & Medical Students
Today on D.O. or Do not we interview Matthew Mené. After our discussion with Professional Comedian David Segul in episode 66, we thought it would be interesting to speak with a D.O. urologist about what “really goes on” with a physician when a male has issues with infertility. Dr. Mené will speak about his journey into osteopathic medicine in a seven year program, how he became interested in urology and how hard work and dedication earned him the opportunity to train in Philadelphia in a competitive surgical subspecialty. He will comment on how he feels that the ACGME merger has made obtaining Urology Fellowship more difficult for D.O. students. For medical students and residents interested in osteopathic school and urology residency, we would recommend more research into this as although it may be true, we do not have data to support or refute the comment.
This week we run through a challenging pupil emergency with PGY4 resident Nikhil Bommakanti, and learn something new about anisocoria and the art of medicine. We also mention a great, free and easy to use data visualizing app that Nikhil developed to get a better grasp of how your ACGME surgical case log is progressing: https://github.com/nbommakanti/surgical_case_dashboard
