Dr. Jaakola also highlights his involvement in the American Podiatric Medical Association both as a Political Action Committee leader and as a delegate for the Colorado Foot and Ankle Society.  This episode highlights how podiatric medicine offers a diverse range of career paths for practitioners. In the episode, Dr. Jensen, and Dr. Jaakola discuss several options within the field, including wound care, research, trauma, and hospitalist-based podiatry. These specialized career paths allow podiatrists to provide a variety of services to patients.  Overall, the field of podiatric medicine offers a range of career paths that allow practitioners to specialize in specific areas and provide specialized care to patients. Whether it's wound care, trauma, hospitalist-based podiatry, or other options, podiatrists have the opportunity to pursue their interests and make a significant impact in the field. Dr. Jaakola shares his journey in the field of podiatric medicine, from his undergraduate studies to his residency and current role as the owner of the Foot and Ankle Center at the Rockies. They reminisce about their early days working together and discuss the importance of wound care in podiatry. Tune in to hear their insightful conversation. In this episode, Dr. Jaakola discusses the qualities he looks for in residents who join his program. Trust is one of the key qualities he values. Dr. Jaakola emphasizes the importance of being able to trust residents to handle patient care independently, particularly in his private office.  Dr. Jensen and Dr. Jaakola highlight teachability as an important quality in residents. Dr. Jaakola mentions that residents need to be open to accepting criticism and feedback, as it is an integral part of the learning process. If residents are unable to handle criticism or accept teaching points, they are not considered teachable.  Furthermore, the episode delves into the importance of work-life balance for doctors. Dr. Jensen mentions that during interviews with students or current students, he often inquires about what the practice will be like.  Dr. Jaakola shares that he has chosen to work four days a week to achieve a better work-life balance. He explains that this allows him to spend more quality time with his family and engage in biking, mountain biking, hiking, and traveling. Dr. Jaakola emphasizes that maintaining a good work-life balance is crucial because it enables him to effectively treat his patients.  https://explorepodmed.org/ Dean's Chat Website Dean's Chat Episodes Dean's Chat Blog Why Podiatric Medicine?  Become a Podiatric Physician

Welcome to the first episode of our Health Systems Science series! This episode is an overview of what Health Systems Science is and why it is important.  Today’s guest is Dr. Maya Hammoud. Maya is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Professor of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School. She is the Associate Chair for E-Learning and Enabling Technologies, Chair of the Center for Education, and Clerkship Director for Obstetrics and Gynecology. She serves on the Medical School Executive Committee and is Assistant Director for Education, Global Reach at the Medical School. Dr. Hammoud currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) as the Secretary-Treasurer and she is APGO’s President-Elect. Her research interests are in the field of medical education, as well as in women's health with a focus on cultural competence. She serves as a reviewer for many peer-reviewed journals and she is currently on the Editorial Board for the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Questions and topics covered in this episode include: Why HSS is important and has become more important with COVID-19 Why students need to be taught HSS during medical school What is systems-based thinking How HSS affects practicing physicians With support from Elsevier, and produced in collaboration with the American Medical Association, the HSS series seeks to broaden students’ understanding of the nature of medicine, medical education, and what separates them from other human endeavors. Medicine is not a “pure science,” a kind of “applied biology.” Rather, it is fundamentally an art that uses science. As a discipline, Health Systems Science considers those ideas and concepts which are integral to medicine as a profession but don’t fall under the domain of the clinical or basic sciences. The National Board of Medical Examiners includes HSS topics in its USMLE Content Outline and even offers a dedicated Health Systems Science subject examination. Each episode of this series will include on-the-go learning with practice exam questions explained by expert guests.  This series is sponsored by Panacea Financial: Banking Built for Doctors, by Doctors. ITB and Panacea share a common goal which is to make med school better. Panacea Financial is designed to handle the unique situation of medical students. We hope you will check them out to see how they can make your life easier.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. We are joined on the show today by Dr. Steven Bishop. He attended UVA School of Medicine and did his residency at VCU where he was the chief resident. He went on to become the Clerkship Director and Associate Chair of education at VCU. In our discussion today, Dr. Bishop shares the story of his journey away from conventional approaches/thinking to a lifestyle/low-carb approach to treating metabolic disease. In light of the diverse responses of various countries to Covid, we discuss the value of keeping an open mind rather than being dogmatic without having all of the information needed to make an informed decision. We talk about the importance of staying curious as a doctor rather then falling into the rut of giving our patients cookie cutter prescriptions. Finally, we discuss the variety of tragic negative effects of social isolation. For more information, please see the links below. Thank you for listening!

Melissa Briones, MD, is the Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program and a Rheumatologist at Loyola University. Dr. Briones was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and attended Loyola's Stritch School of Medicine. She then stayed at Loyola to complete her Internal Medicine Residency, Chief Residency, and Rheumatology Fellowship training. She devotes much of her time as associate program director to recruiting efforts along with helping to oversee the research curriculum. Dr. Briones particularly enjoys curriculum development and teaching and is especially interested in helping residents successfully prepare for the ABIM exam. She also loves teaching medical students and serves as the Clerkship Director for the fourth year medical student subinternship wards rotation. Where do kindness and success intersect? Today, Dr. Melissa Briones makes an excellent point about the changing definition of success: As we evolve, we might find that success becomes less about personal gain, and more about enriching the lives of others. And when we realize that kindness most often means putting others first—we realize that success and kindness work in tandem. Dr. Briones also advises us that adapting organized habits and good time management skills are important to start now. And that lessons in compassion are of the most valuable to us as physicians. She leaves us with this: Patients will never know your board scores, but within thirty seconds they will know whether they feel comfortable putting their health in your hands. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. When it comes to asking for help, don't wait: Start that process now. We need to generate the experience of asking for help and receiving it so the positive cycle continues. 2. Kindness and success are more similar than we think. When our definition of success becomes more about helping others, and we realize kindness is about putting others' first, we are able to see those two as being equal. 3. Stay humble. As a physician, you will make mistakes. But if you weren't humble when you made them, it will really stick.

Jason Mizell a colorectal surgeon and clerkship director from the University of Arkansas and has been running a Business of Medicine course for several years. Like many students, Jason started off with a desire for one specialty (pediatrics) and ended up discovering that another option was much more enjoyable for him. He emphasizes that this is very normal so students should keep an open mind and accept all challenges and opportunities that arise. Preceptor’s understanding of their student's future goals and expectations can greatly influence the student-preceptor dynamic during clinical rotations. For instance, Jason realizes that only a small percentage of students will be going into a surgical specialty and as such he focuses his teaching content on more general needs. He also points out that there are significant differences in pre-clinical and clinical medicine which students need to be transitioned into (i.e.: colleague consults). When discussing medical topics with medical and healthcare students, preceptors that think-aloud give the student insights into the thought process of clinical medical professionals. They can help students during their medical externships by pointing out the nuances that may otherwise be missed. Proper assessment of student competence and oversight are also extremely important not only for the educational environment but also for patient care. A medical preceptor that sets their expectations for the students early is vital for an efficient learning system. In fact, UAMS created its own internal app that allows for constant access to learning objectives and expectations for each medical service which is easily accessible and updated. Also, letting the student take the driver seat during their clinical rotations is a great way to guide them while allowing open-ended reciprocity of ideas. Medical and clinical students preparing for surgical rotations should prepare by researching the particular surgery and being aware of the patient history beforehand. Thinking about the situation as if the preceptor is not there, making decisions, and preparing for potential complications is a great way to stimulate one’s thought process pre-op. Lack of effort or interest is easily noticeable by the preceptor and will likely lead to a poor experience for all parties involved. Your activity and interest, as well as personal interactions with patients and preceptors, will greatly influence your Letter of Recommendation as well.   You can gain more insights into Jason Mizell’s Business of Medicine topics on The White Coat Investor Blog and Podcast as well as Doctor Money Matters and Doctor’s Unbound. For research on financial education in medicine, please read Jason’s article, Money matters: a resident curriculum for financial management.

Dr. Bruce Morgenstern is the Vice Dean of Academic and Clinical Affairs at Roseman University College of Medicine and President for the Alliance for Clinical Education (ACE). His medical history as a board-certified pediatric nephrologist led him on his path to becoming the Clerkship Director for Pediatrics at Mayo, working with The Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP), and he eventually became the President of ACE which collaborates with numerous medical education associations. Preceptors: Dr. Morgenstern believes in medical education and the importance of precepting for healthcare students. Physicians should be encouraged to seek out faculty development training if available to them if they wish to continue to progress in their mentorship roles. However, the most important aspect of any student-teacher relationship is setting clear expectations early on. He also confirms the importance of a basic education model, such as the one-minute preceptor model, in medical education. Though many preceptors may not be aware of the exact model, they often implement a similar structure into their educational environment. Students: Dr. Morgenstern feels students should also express their level of education to preceptors early on. This helps to facilitate material being disseminated in a manner appropriate for each individual’s level of education. Students that lay out their hopes for the rotation or that discuss topics they would like to learn more about are more likely to receive specific training. Those that don’t may fall the wayside. When asking for a Letter of Recommendation (LoR), it is best to ask a preceptor that knows the “unwritten code” of a strong letter. Many physicians may have good intentions, but do not always know what current residency directors are looking for. Also, do not ask “will you write me an” LoR, but instead specify that you are looking for a “strong” LoR. This can make all the difference in the preceptor's interpretation of your desire for that field and the letter. Keep updated with education meetings via the ACE Calendar.

I used to volunteer at Bridgehouse, a clinic where recovering addicts would live, work, and live together. On Tuesdays we Tulane students would  go and act as physicians and fourth years led the clinic; first and second years were doing it as part of their community service hours.  I heard a student who was a third year coaching a second year, with the drapes closed, and they were using one of my advanced organizers. They were coaching the  people below them the exact way I had coached it. I peered around the corner and I thought: "I'm pretty sure I didn't teach this guy", and it was word for word the way I did it. This is awesome! I taught someone, they are teaching someone else, and they are teaching someone else and someone else. The message just got propagated, and I hadn't done anything yet. I was a fourth year medical student. It meant that other people were teaching others. That is really why I teach. The Emotional Bank Account I treat people like people and it has to do with the "emotional bank account". You as an individual have an emotional battery and you give and take as you interact with people. It's really easy to deposit into the bank account, [for example]just spending time to listen to the nurse and learning what beer he likes. It has nothing to do with patient care, in fact it's kind of disruptive. But I listen anyways, because I put those deposits in. Then later, when I'm doing a procedure, the ultrasound is ready with the consents signed. Whereas, the jerk-off guy who treats everyone else like crap, has to go do it himself. The emotional bank account means when there's a time you need to draw, it's a shitty day, you get people to help you. In the guide I talk about, if you blow off your best friend who you've known for twenty years for lunch, you just get lunch the next day. If you blow off a tinder date and you don't show up to the bar, you aren't going to get a second date. The idea is, you have twenty years of investment with your friend and two texts worth with this girl from tinder. So you need to treat your environment like your best friend. And yes big things count, but I think little things count more, like knowing someone just had a kid, or someone started school... know what's important to them and go after it! If you could redraw what medical school could be like, if you could redraw what residency training would be like, what would be your ideal system? I don't know if this is ideal but we have all this material on Online MedEd and we have Student-faculty mode. I think that medical school is ruthlessly inefficient in both cost and time. I think that the way medical education is going is not following what doctors need to become. I actually think the LCME and the ACGME have been doing a good job of what things need to happen. You need to learn how to work in systems, you need to be a great leader, and you need to know a bunch of stuff. That's not all of the milestones, but becoming a physician is not just memorizing a bunch of things and remembering them all. And also, practicing medicine for the most part, can follow an algorithm. As long as you get the diagnosis right, you can follow. If the blood pressure isn't right, follow this dose. If the diabetes isn't controlled, go up by this much on their insulin. A lot of things can be automated. So what I would like medical school to become is a training ground for amazing people to happen to know some stuff. And I justified medical school, particularly the clinical sciences, because I learned so much in the pre-clinical years preparing for a test I didn't want to take, that now when I reencounter those things, it's like second nature. But I don't think that's necessary. I think that an ideal education world, we would have, I think, just the same amount of time and we would use something like OnlineMed Ed to make learning what we need to know more efficient. But then we would change the paradigm in which we train. We would do more stuff on leadership, more stuff on communication, more stuff on systems. Teaching physicians to be leaders, the captain of the ship, who manage huge teams of people and use those people as extensions of themselves. I don't know how to do that specifically, and OnlineMed Ed is the piece we are using to make learning more efficient rather than PhD's who are super obsessed with their one molecule for 55 minutes in the dark auditorium. Let the students learn what they need to learn on their own time, and then use the rest of the time to craft great people. For more of the conversation, listen to the audio!
