Dr. Andrew Lam has forged an intriguing dual career. The first is in medicine, as a retinal surgeon with New England Retina Consultants, an attending surgeon at Baystate Medical Center, and an assistant professor of Ophthalmology at UMass Medical School. But he's also turned his lifelong passion for history into four acclaimed books: two in the realm of historical fiction, and two nonfiction works about the often-surprising lives behind modern medical advances. On the next installment of BusinessTalk, Dr. Lam talks with BusinessWest Editor Joe Bednar about his latest work, The Masters of Medicine, and how he goes about bringing history to life on the page — when he's not helping patients salvage and improve their sight, that is. It's must listening, so tune in to BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest and sponsored by PeoplesBank.

It’s so easy to let yourself become less important during catastrophic events. But as Dr. Katie Jobbins talks about, if you’re not looking after yourself, you won’t have the long-term capacity to care for others. Self-care is important, especially through a pandemic.   Key Takeaways You can be okay with where you are and enjoy it Let whatever you’re focusing on go and move on Find movement you love and want to do   About Dr. Katie Jobbins Katie Jobbins, DO, MS, FACP is a primary care internist at High Street Health Center Adult, an academic hospitalist at Baystate Medical Center, and Associate Program in the Internal Medicine Department at UMMS-Baystate in Springfield, MA.  Dr. Jobbins received her undergraduate degree in Nutrition Science from Syracuse University and her Masters in Science from Case Western Reserve University in Nutrition and Metabolism. She attended Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine where she graduated in 2010.   Initially, Dr. Jobbins started her training in general surgery residency at the Cleveland Clinic--South Pointe but after 2 years found her true passion was in Internal Medicine. She then completed 3 years of Internal Medicine and stayed on to be Chief Residents in 2015-2016 at Baystate Medical Center.     In her current role as Associate Program Director in the MMS-Baystate Department of Internal Medicine, Dr. Jobbins serves as a clinician-educator working with residents in both the inpatient and ambulatory setting. She leads the social justice working group, the director of the resident’s self-reflection and wellness curriculums, ambulatory quality improvement curriculum, co-director of the humanities track, and director of the Chief Resident leadership curriculum for the health system.   Dr. Jobbins is also an Assistant Profession at UMMS-Baystate. She is an active member both nationally and locally in SGIM, AMA, AMWA, and the ACP. In the Massachusetts ACP Chapter, she is the co-chair of the Early Career Physician Council and supervises the resident/fellow council. She recently won one of the AMA Inspiration Awards for her work in medical education.    Prioritizing Yourself During a Pandemic When this pandemic hit, Dr. Katie Jobbins found herself falling back into old habits where she didn’t prioritize her own health. Despite previously going to therapy and private programs, it wasn’t until she joined a group program that Katie felt she had the tools and accountability to make lasting changes. The pandemic has impacted all of us in one way or another, and for so many of us, it’s been detrimental to how we take care of ourselves. Katie explains why it was essential for her to find time for herself. Katie shares some of the ways she started prioritizing herself throughout the last year. It doesn’t matter that there’s a pandemic going on - it shouldn’t change the way you care for yourself.   Creating Space for Yourself Every Day Katies says you need to make sure you’re doing something for yourself every single day - and notice when and what this is. It’s not only about doing something for yourself. The act of recognizing that you’re putting yourself first has a positive impact on your overall health, too. Katie shares some ideas for how to look for and create space in your life. Can you go for a walk during your lunch break? Take advantage of what space you already have in your schedule. Finally, Katie talks about how she started enjoying exercise and movement. It’s so different to approach movement and wellness from a place of love and joy than from a space of necessity. This change of mindset is so valuable.   Homework for Women Physicians How do you create space in your day that’s just for you? If you haven’t done this - or haven’t done it sustainably - this is your permission slip to start finding space. Let me know in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode  Why group coaching programs have a different impact than private programs or even therapy [8:00] Why you need to make time for yourself, even when you don’t feel like you have it [10:30] How to put yourself first, even during a pandemic [13:00] Why you should recognize what you’re doing for yourself [14:30] How to look for and create space in your life [18:45] How to have a healthy relationship with activity and mental health [28:00]   Quotes “I needed that external stimulus from someone else who was almost like my honest mirror. I could hear it, but I was afraid to say it out loud. When I finally said to her that I need help, I need additional resources with people who are having similar struggles to me. I had done therapy, I’d done all the private things, but I needed something that was more of a group together. I needed accountability. As the pandemic went on further, I felt more isolated. I needed something that could help me have a deeper connection with other people.”  [7:13] “The pandemic’s going to keep going. It’s not going away, this is our life now. For us to say that that we’re going to get to a new life at some point, great. But this is where we are now. I can’t change that. I can control what I do, I can try to control what goes on in my family. The biggest part of the transformation is that I’m okay with the chaos now.” [13:12] “You should do something for yourself every day. The idea that there is space for you if you let yourself have it. It’s okay, don’t feel guilty. Create that space for yourself.” [15:25] “I think that the biggest takeaway from the Transform process is that I’m taking care of myself and I feel less helpless. When the pandemic hit, I felt helpless, and I couldn’t figure out where that came from. It’s that I really needed to help myself. I was already helping so many other people. But I needed to help myself so that I could take care of all the other things that were on my plate.” [31:23]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 53: Dr. Harita Raja on Mind-Body Transformation Episode 51: Dr. Daisy Ramirez-Estrada On Learning to Prioritize Self Care Episode 50: Dr. Lindsey Davis on Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

"So in all these ERAS programs, you need a physician champion, a nurse champion, a coordinator; then we brought our pharmacist in - I will not start rounds without a pharmacist. I refuse.

Sriram Narsipur, MD, FASN, FACP, MRCP is the Edward C. Reifenstein professor and chairman of the department of medicine at Upstate Medical University. In addition to serving as the chief and medical director of the division of nephrology, he's also a professor of pediatrics and surgery at the institution. Dr. Narsipur earned his medical degree from University of Michigan Medical School. He then pursued a residency in internal medicine and pediatrics from Baystate Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine, where he served as the chief resident in pediatrics. He then did a fellowship in nephrology from University of California at San Diego. His clinical interests include clinical transplantation, dialysis and research interests include cardiovascular disease in patients with end stage renal and chronic kidney disease. Most people say a successful leader is someone with big ideas that shares them with others to reach an end goal. Dr. Sriram Narsipur agrees that those traits are important, but points out that the best leaders are effective listeners. Listening is the most important skill for leaders so they understand their environment and the people they deal with. Listening is also important in patient interactions. Dr. Narsipur connects this undervalued skill with everything from building trust with patients, to getting advice from others when making a big decision. And without listening, the mentor/mentee relationship would fall apart. Join us as Dr. Narsipur shares the strengths of listening. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Listening is the most important skill for a potential leader, and a good leader is always a good follower first. 2. After contact with a patient, follow up. Call them. This will go a long way in their immediate care, as well as build a better long-term relationship. 3. When making a big decision, look to collective experience and well-rounded advice. Even if things go wrong, at least you made the best decision you could. 4. Take advantage of understanding your patient's perspective and see the world through your patient's lens in order to become a more compassionate physician.

Raquel Belforti, DO, MS is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at University of Massachusetts Medical School-Baystate, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine. She also serves as the Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program and Medicine Clerkship Director. Dr. Belforti completed her medical school from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine, and her residency from Baystate Medical Center, where she was also appointed as the Chief Resident. Dr. Belforti has  a Masters in Medical Education and been leading educational curricula for students, residents and faculty at Baystate. Recognized for her outstanding contributions as a clinical educator, she has been awarded a number of awards, including the L. Randol Barker Award at Johns Hopkins and the Education Achievement Award for the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine Population-Based Urban and Community Health Track (PURCH) curriculum. The next time you enter a patient's room, pause at the door to become mindful. This is the advice Dr. Raquel Belforti shares with us today about the best way to approach patient care. Being able to be a part of the patient's world is a gift, and we can honor that by taking the time to listen to them mindfully. As physicians, our job is to establish trust and connection quickly—because the patient is putting their life in our hands. The best thing we can do is take the time to be present, and ask the patient not just about their diagnosis—but about their story. Dr. Belforti explains that it's not so much the medical knowledge, but the role modeling, where she feels she'll leave her biggest impact as a mentor. And the best place to make that impact is at the bedside. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Stop yourself at the patient's door and be mindful of the role you're going to play in that patient's life. Then, take the time to sit and listen to the patient. 2. A career in medicine requires us to be at our best at all times. If there is something that is preventing us from doing that, we need to actively speak up and gather support from others—which is a sign of strength, not weakness. 3. Build a mentorship map: Have a mentor for each category of your professional and personal life in that map, and seek advice based on the role they fit into. 4. Take advantage of opportunities that come your way. But first, ask yourself first if you can commit 100% to it, if you can give it your all.

Massachusetts has been one of the hardest hit states by COVID-19 in the country. April was ones of the darkest moments during the pandemic and Eric sat down with Baystate Medical Center’s President and CEO Dr. Mark Keroack to discuss how things were going. Mark has been the public face for medical experts in Western Massachusetts during the pandemic -- this is that conversation.

Kathryn Jobbins, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine and the Associate Program Director of Internal Medicine Residency at the University of Massachusetts Medical School-Baystate. Dr. Jobbins completed her Medical school and  Residency in Internal Medicine at Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, MA where she also served as the Chief Resident. She also did a residency in surgery at The Cleveland Clinic—South Pointe Hospital. Dr. Jobbins has a strong interest in Resident education and leadership. She has also been the recipient of the Early Career Leadership Award by the American College of Physicians and the Kevin T. Hinchey Resident Teaching Award at the Baystate Medical Center. How can we be successful if we don't even give ourselves space to fail? That is the question Dr. Kathryn Jobbins asks of us. Today, we explore what it means to break past limiting beliefs of not feeling good enough. And she encourages us to change our thinking: We can do anything we put our minds to with hard work and determination. At the same time, she urges us to be compassionate towards ourselves, to self-reflect often, and to slow down when we need to. Our role as physicians is imperative: We care for patients, and we seek to impact the world in a positive way. In order to continue on the path of health and success, we must take steps in our personal lives to avoid burnout, because we cannot adequately care for others if we are not taking care of ourselves. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Believe in yourself that you can do anything that you put your mind into with hard work and with a growth mindset. 2. Self-reflection is one of the most important tools to help us grow as humans. 3. Be realistic and practical in setting your goals - work hard but be kind to yourself.

Pregnant workers already face discrimination on the job, Before the pandemic struck, the United States was the only advanced nation without a national paid maternity or parental leave policy. Now, pregnant workers have to navigate workplaces that pose real infection risks — often without recourse. Delivering a child in the pandemic has become fraught and isolating. And for many new moms whose low-wage jobs are considered "essential," the emergency paid leave law Congress passed doesn’t even apply. So what can we learn from the pandemic about how to better protect pregnant workers? How can we ensure healthy outcomes for new mothers and children, and, in particular, for new African American mothers and children, whose rates of infant and maternal mortality are alarmingly high?

In today’s episode, we speak with three women who were instrumental in establishing midwifery into traditional, bustling, hospital settings. Between them, they have over 50+ years of birth work experience and they continue to mentor, teach and serve women in the midwife community and beyond. Nel assisted her mother in the birth of a sibling at age three. The baby was stillborn. This left a lasting impression on her. After countless babies appeared in her life, she knew she should follow the path to midwifery and has dedicated her career to creating a homebirth model in a small hospital setting. She currently mentors and teaches midwifery to midwives in rural Maine. Nell has pioneered many revolutionary practices in midwifery and is well known for her contributions. Denise is a midwife in a hospital in The Bronx. She assists women from marginalized areas of society gain access to a midwife in high-risk pregnancies. She works to build trust with doctors who may not understand the role or purpose of a midwife and with the patients who come from various cultural backgrounds. Sharon is Chief of the Midwifery Division and oversees a midwife education program at Baystate Medical Center. She works with women who need care but have barriers to getting it. She helps women of all backgrounds to make informed decisions about their pregnancy with the goal of removing the anxiety and judgment sometimes related to the birth process. We sat with these women and heard their powerful stories and now share their power with you. *This is our second session of recordings with women who serve as midwives from the Motherbirth booth at the American College of Nurse-Midwives Annual Conference. In This Episode: The importance of relationships The similarities of Midwifery in rural and urban environments Integrating the homebirth model into a hospital setting How midwives can decrease the level of trauma during birth Changes in midwife care since the 1970’s The continuity model of care Eliminating the judgment women have about their birth experience Building access to midwife care for women in marginalized communities Making doctors aware of the role of a midwife Prenatal and postpartum emotional support The need to reduce anxiety in expectant mothers Allowing the body to follow its natural birth process The father’s experience of childbirth Using crowdfunding to save for future college expenses Show Notes: Listen to Episode #68 — “Peyote In Labor, Feminism, and Running Away From the Army” College Backer — Listeners of Motherbirth receive a $10 match contribution with this link

Date: March 12, 2015 Featuring: Mark P. Jarrett, MD, MBA, Chief Quality Officer, Sr. Vice President & Associate Chief Medical Officer, North Shore-LIJ Health System Susan Browning, MPH, FACHE, Vice President, Neurosciences, Head & Neck Surgery/ENT and Ophthalmology, North Shore-LIJ Health System Katharine Luther, RN, MPM, Vice President, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Mark Hiller, MBA, Vice President for Innovative Solutions & Leader, Premier Bundled Payment Collaborative, Premier Alice Ehresman, RN, Healthcare Quality Specialist, Baystate Health   Are your care teams ready for value-based payments? Does everyone understand the relationship between better patient care and potential savings? Are there some new skill sets and mindsets required of doctors and nurses and support staff that need to be called out and called for, rather than just taking everyone’s buy-in and readiness for granted?   There is more than a few questions to answer, and there’s no question that public and private payers in the US are moving towards more global payment arrangements with health care providers. But the picture of how health care delivery systems take up the challenge is still coming into focus. Forming or becoming part of an accountable care organization (ACO) has been one dominant response. And a growing number of health care organizations are redesigning common patient care procedures in order to enter into agreements that reward value over volume, and that tie payment to successful deployment of specific bundles of care. It’s tempting to think of all this rejiggering as resting heavily on a hospital’s or office practice’s CFO or whoever draws up contracts with payers. But there’s so much more to it. We assembled a terrific panel, with leaders from pioneering health systems like North Shore-LIJ and Baystate Medical Center, to guide us through the challenges and triumphs in this new phase for health care payment and delivery.

Date: March 26, 2015 Featuring:   David Munch, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer, Healthcare Performance Partners Stephanie Calcasola, MSN, RN-BC, Director of Quality and Medical Management, Baystate Medical Center Kedar Mate, MD, Senior Vice President, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) No one’s capabilities and talent should be wasted when it comes to improving health and health care for those we serve. We know you agree. Health care leaders have an incredibly important role to play in driving improvement initiatives in their organizations. So do people on the frontlines of care. What we aren’t as articulate about is the role that middle managers play. You know, the people with the job titles of House Supervisor or Shift Supervisor or Team Lead or Manager of the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit). A growing number of experts say we can’t afford to ignore how people in these jobs are essential to improvement, too.  WIHI host Madge Kaplan is joined by one of those experts, Dr. David Munch, who led the discussion on this WIHI. IHI’s senior innovation and improvement capability expert, Dr. Kedar Mate, and Baystate Medical Center’s Stephanie Calcasola, also helped us look at what middle managers do, now, on behalf of quality improvement – and what they could do more of, if their contributions and unique positioning in the organization were better utilized and understood. Especially when it comes to making improvement endeavors operational and sustainable.

Guest: Barry Sarvet, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD Research tells us that roughly one in 20 teenagers in the United States suffers from clinical depression. The problem is most are not receiving treatment because they haven't been diagnosed. In a recent report, the US Preventive Services Task Force issued a recommendation for the routine screening of all adolescents in the primary care setting, even if they don't show signs of depression. Is this recommendation practical? And, can our healthcare system accommodate the likely increase in teens who would subsequently become candidates for mental health treatment? Dr. Barry Sarvet, chief of child and adolescent psychiatry at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, joins host Dr. Jennifer Shu for a discussion of the pros and cons of routine depression screening for teenagers.
