In this episode, we have Samantha Lai, a medical student as our guest. She will discuss the disparity in venture capital investment for startups led by women, and how this gap can be narrowed by encouraging female physicians to become entrepreneurs. Despite the traditional and risk-averse nature of the health care industry, it is a field where there is a relatively level playing field for women and a wealth of opportunities for innovation. Samantha explains how it affects women in male-dominated fields and how organizations like the American Medical Women's Association are working to provide a nurturing environment for female physician-entrepreneurs through events such as innovation challenges and pitch competitions. Tune in to learn more about how we can bridge the gap in gender representation in entrepreneurship and health care. Samantha Lai is a medical student. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Medical innovation: a serendipitous step toward gender equity." The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience. With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients. At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational. Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.

Dr. Theresa Rohr-Kirchgraber, a California native, is an internist and professor of medicine at the AU/UGA Medical Partnership in Athens, GA. As the president of the American Medical Women's Association, her passion is equity in medicine and healthcare, both for physicians and the community. In this episode, Theresa talks about her unique path to medicine and the resets she has made as a clinician-educator.  Who knew that baton twirling would have the outcome it did!  She shares her strategy to determine the timing for those resets noting it is ok to sometimes need a change of scenery. Her outlook on options as a physician, particularly as a generalist, is a refreshing take.  We recorded this interview in mid-June 2022 prior to the Supreme Court decision but she was already highlighting the powerful need for advocacy in all aspects but particularly equity and women's reproductive health. She appeals "Let's not go backwards." Listen in to learn more about AMWA, the Power of Women book she just read, and the power of a community of physicians.  Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Finding a supportive community can lead to opportunities of "Why Not!" 2. Being a part of larger organization can help sort out the rough edges, give perspective, and be a source of support and strength in numbers. It can give you visibility on a larger scale and help you find your place in the world. 3. Consider a five-year check in to determine if you are getting the same amount of joy out of a role that you were before.  4. Doctors have options and remember there are so few of us around! 5. Know the importance of advocacy- even on the 1:1 level. Advocacy work helps you get a better understanding of how your community works.  6. Be Proactive.

I had a great live session answering questions with Touro COM's AMWA chapter and I answered questions like: 1. To start off, this past year and a half we have been involved in probably the most severe pandemic we have seen in modern human history and many of our healthcare workers, including yourself, had to be on the front lines. How did this impact you as a physician and has it changed your perspective of your career? Tune in to hear the answer!

Many of us haven't been in each other's homes for a while now, but pretty soon we'll be getting together inside again. And our children will be heading inside, in their friends' houses.   People store guns inside.   Are you certain that nobody owns a gun in any of the places your child plays?   If they do own a gun, are you certain they store it safely?   If not, you need to ask.   That's one issue we discuss in this interview with Dr. Nina Agrawal, a board-certified pediatrician who has expertise in violence against children. She co-founded the Gun Safety Committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics in New York State, and is leading the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force for the American Medical Women's Association.   Another issue is the gun violence that is primarily faced by children of color, which turns out to affect a far greater number of children.   And how is this all linked to the Peloton recall? You'll have to listen in to find out...   Jump to highlights here: (01:00) Indoor playdates are ramping up...will your child be safe?

And today we're going to discuss a topic that I think is about to come into parents' consciousness in a way that it really hasn't as much over the last year. And for some of us, that's a result of our privilege. And I was reflecting that as vaccinations for children become more available, we're probably going to start moving towards indoor play dates without parents being around because when my daughter went into when we went into sort of lockdown, she was young enough that she wasn't...

The pandemic is causing women to leave the workforce at higher rates than men, leading some to call this economic downturn the 'shecession'.  Dr. Neelum Aggarwal, a cognitive neurologist at Rush University Medical Center and the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at the American Medical Women's Association discusses how this pullback is impacting female physicians. This episode was originally published in January 2021. 

Dr. Jennie and Dr. Neal discuss how common picky eating is and how to approach picky eaters from a behavioral standpoint. The doctors discuss how to avoid tantrums at meal time, when meal shakes are appropriate and  what to look for when grocery shopping for picky eaters to ensure they have a well-balanced diet and to limit snacking over nutritious meals. Dr. Nikette Neal first became interested in medicine in high school when she watched her father's successful battle with prostate cancer. This led her to attend the University of Central Florida for college, where she graduated with honors in Molecular and Microbiology while simultaneously completing four years of genetics research. Afterward, she attended Ross University for medical school. Her experience there eventually led her to complete her pediatric residency at the University of Nevada, School of Medicine in Las Vegas. She completed this program at the top of her cohort winning the award for “Outstanding Graduating Resident”. Dr. Neal began her career at Pediatric Associates as a general outpatient pediatrician. Since then, she has expanded her skillset by becoming an Assistant Professor and Clerkship Director at the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Medicine. In this position, she has received several accolades including the award for “40 Under 40 Black Leaders of Today and Tomorrow”, being featured by the United Way for Women's History Month, and being asked to speak at a regional conference for the American Medical Women's Association. Last year, Dr. Neal was promoted to Lead Physician for the Palmetto Bay office of Pediatric Associates. She currently serves on the Clinician Development Team and the Clinician Advisory Committee. She loves to sing, dance, read, and serve at her church. She is a devoted wife and mother of two. While she is known for her patience, dedication, and attention to detail for each individual patient case, she still finds time to put her family first. She hopes to continue to use her medical skills in order to further the field of Pediatrics, helping to improve patient outcomes and encourage the next generation of physicians. KidzDocTalk is available on all major streaming services including: iHeartRadio, Spotify, iTunes, YouTube and SimpleCast.

Lo explains how her mother set a high bar for her success, but always encouraged her to be proud of her accomplishments. Dr. Lo developed a healthy mindset toward working hard—and maintaining balance. Today, we learn how to become a reliable and accountable resident that sets us apart from the status quo, how to enhance trust and connection with our patients, and how to know when to step away from medicine to re-energize. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Surround yourself in an environment of encouragement and high expectations. It will bring out the best in you. 2. Find a mentor that matches both your goals and personality, aligns with your interests, and one who is invested in your success. 3. Continuity is a key aspect in building trust with patients, and motivational interviewing is a key skill for developing these connections. 4. Pay attention to your own self-care and well-being: Remember the importance of relaxation, networking, and keeping in touch with friends outside of medicine.

The statute--Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act--is set to expire at the end of January. President Trump introduced uncertainty as lawmakers negotiated the renewal by sending conflicting tweets, which first opposed the renewal and then appeared to support it.  Now the bill heads to the Senate where Democrat Ron Wyden as well as Republican Rand Paul, have vowed to filibuster the bill out of concern for the fact that American citizens' data are often swept into surveillance requests when they communicate with individuals outside the U.S. The bill would renew the surveillance program until 2023.

The social media company announced last week that it is tweaking its news feed to emphasize content from its users' family and friends.

Popular articles shared by family and friends would still rise to the top of the news feed if they get enough engagements. Mike Isaac reports in the New York Times.
