Presented by Adrian N. Billings, MD, PhD; Texas Tech UniversitySTFM Conference on Medical Student Education 2025 Scott Fields Lecture | Sunday, February 2 2025In the evolving landscape of American health care, the call to practice and serve in rural communities offers a profound and transformative opportunity for clinicians. This presentation delves into the powerful concept of accompaniment—an approach where physicians not only deliver care but also actively engage with and support their patients and communities. For medical students aspiring to a career marked by meaningful impact, the rural setting offers a unique and inspiring canvas. Rural areas often face significant health care disparities, including limited access to medical resources and specialized care. This context demands a new kind of medical professional — one who is not only skilled in clinical practice but also deeply committed to community engagement and advocacy. The role of accompaniment involves more than just treating illness; it requires a holistic approach to patient care, emphasizing empathy, education, and empowerment.Through accompaniment, physicians forge strong relationships with patients, understanding their unique challenges and needs. This model of care fosters trust and collaboration, leading to more effective and personalized treatment strategies. Additionally, it empowers healthcare professionals to become advocates for systemic changes that address the root causes of health inequities. Embracing a career in rural medicine through the lens of accompaniment offers a pathway to profound professional fulfillment and societal impact. Accompaniment aligns medical practice with the broader goals of social justice and health equity. For aspiring physicians, this approach not only enhances our clinical skills but also instills a deep sense of purpose and connection to the communities we serve. A call to service through accompaniment emerges as a beacon of hope and inspiration, guiding future medical leaders toward a more compassionate and equitable future.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe causes and consequences of rural health disparities.Justify the practice of medicine outside the walls of a health care facility to combat social determinants of health.Value the concept of accompaniment as it relates to a career of service in medicine.Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2025Adrian N.

Our guest on this episode is "ChatGPT", a cutting-edge natural language Artificial Intelligence designed by OpenAI. ChatGPT's remarkable language abilities and versatility in performing various tasks have garnered high acclaim. During this interview, we put ChatGPT's conversational AI to the test to explore its capabilities and limitations. Moreover, we delve into how conversational AI has the potential to revolutionize the way artists and engineers create and share their work. Additionally, we address the ethical and societal implications of engaging in discussions with a seemingly "life-like" AI persona. To avoid unintentionally personifying ChatGPT, we incorporated different fictional AI-generated voices to make it clear it wasn't one of our usual human guests, such as HAL from 2001: Space Odyssey and Rick from Rick and Morty, in addition to a generic voice for clarity and a pleasant listening experience. For a thought-provoking conversation on the topic of unintentional personification of technology, we recommend checking out our February 2021 episode featuring Alice Wroe, the Augmented and Virtual Realities Lead at the Atlantic Institute.

Tom Piotrowski is a media teacher at Atlantic Institute of Technology in Atlantic County, NJ.  He has spent most of his life around young people and knows the way they think and interact.  In this episode, we have a frank conversation about the dangers social media can pose to our kids and what we, as parents can do about it.  He recommends visiting the Center for Parents and Youth Understanding or cypu.org. The Center for Parent/Youth Understanding is a nonprofit organization committed to building strong families by serving to bridge the cultural-generational gap between parents and teenagers.  For a technology that is supposed to bring us together, it sure feels at times that the internet brings us further apart, especially for our teens and tweens.  We have all heard the reports of how social media and other tech can lead to a variety of concerns about their mental health. For many teens, social media can become almost addictive. Social media can activate parts of the brain associated with pleasure and rewards causing them to want to use social media more.  In addition, the pandemic has kept our kids separated as they spent more time learning on screens.  All of it can add up to feelings of isolation, depression, and anxiety.  While social media is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, it also is not the same as face-to-face interactions. Many teens get so wrapped up online checking their cell phones, that they often overlook the people right in front of them. This lack of communication in the real world can cause difficulties in friendships, dating, and other relationships.  While there are some positive aspects of social media, there are many pitfalls.  We, as parents, as well as other adults in their lives,  need to be aware of what our kids are doing online and how we can play a positive role in keeping them safe and helping them live happy, productive lives.

Have you ever thought about facial acupuncture? Did you know it can help with premature wrinkles, existing wrinkles, and even scarring? You may just be a few sticks away (pun intended) from improved skin, all in a natural, organic way.    This is a very special episode, as I started my Esthetics career with Dr. Marina, as her lead Esthetician. I am to this day so grateful for everything I learned from working in her practice, both in the Esthetics industry but also in business. She is an incredible businesswoman as well as a practitioner. It is rare that you can call one of your former leaders one of your best friends. That is a testament to the type of person she is: caring, generous, I think she's brilliant and an overall amazing friend.    A little bit about Dr. Marina Ponton -she has been a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine in private practice since 1998. Her practice focuses on helping others achieve and maintain their optimal health through acupuncture, functional medicine, herbs, supplements, and nutrition. Dr. Marina's belief in healing the body through natural methods has led her to practice and lecture in the United States, Sweden, and Holland. She has studied at the American University of Paris, FAMU University in Prague, University of Miami, Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine, and Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. Dr. Marina has a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine with a specialization in women's health and longevity medicine. Dr. Marina is an exceptionally talented natural health practitioner and well-recognized lecturer who is passionate about educating clients on the importance of incorporating natural health modalities into their everyday life. Some of her specialties include pain management, women's health, and fertility, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue (ME), environmental diseases, and mental and emotional disorders. She is bilingual in English and Spanish.    So let's get started on today's episode, dedicated to Facial Acupuncture, and learn from Dr. Marina how this procedure can do wonders for your skin.   Show Highlights:   What is the history of Facial acupuncture and when did it become popular? What exactly is facial acupuncture doing? What are the benefits? What are the contraindications (who can NOT get facial acupuncture:) How many needles are going into the face? So let's talk about the needles-how big are they? How is it different from micro-needling? Does it hurt? What happens if you have more?  How long does it stay in our system? How long does the treatment last? How often should you get treatments to get results? How does it actually work? What are the benefits? Can you get this done along with facials? Peels? Hydra facials? Skin pen?  Is there anything you should not use before getting this treatment? For example, stop using retinoids a week prior? What is the after skin routine after the treatment? Are you able to go back to work or is it better if you receive the treatment in the evening?   Natasha from our Small Biz and Beauty Group on Facebook asks:   Are there other things that the acupuncture does like, maybe the correlation of meridian lines and specific acupuncture points helping with giving that natural facelift?   Links:   For all things Dr.Marina, follow along on their social channels at: Instagram: @drmarinagvl Website:  wwwgreenvillenaturalhealth.com   Want EXCLUSIVE behind the scenes beauty insider info?

As Bernie Sanders surges ahead in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, John Stonestreet and Shane Morris discuss his appeal--and the appeal of socialism--among young voters especially; that is, among voters who did not grow up at a time when socialism and communism posed an existential threat to the West. They also discuss the horrific persecution faced by Christians in Nigeria and Burkina Faso and how freedom from violent persecution that Christians enjoy in the modern West is more the exception than the rule. Also on today's episode: Is the nuclear family in trouble? Will the Boy Scouts fold? John and Shane wrap up the program discussing the Colson Fellows and how you can become a part of this life- and faith-changing program.
