Podcasts about clinical ophthalmology

This week, host and Jarrard Inc. President Anne Hancock Toomey interviews Shlomit Schaal, MD, PhD, MHCM, of Houston Methodist. Dr. Schaal serves as Executive VP and Chief Physician Executive, Houston Methodist; President and Chief Executive Officer, Houston Methodist Physician Organization; Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology, Houston Methodist Academic Institute; and Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology, Weill Cornell College of Medicine. Dr. Schaal is an accomplished ophthalmologist, retinal surgeon, researcher and executive, but her life and passions extend far beyond the lab and operating room. In this conversation, we hear about her inspiring journey from growing up as a child in Israel to moving to the United States. She describes how a young leader influenced her life immeasurably and how her trepidation around water turned into a first job as lifeguard and, ultimately, influenced her career. The conversation dives into her transformative role leading the UMass Chan Medical School Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences (read the case study here), and her current focus on physician well-being at Houston Methodist. Dr. Schaal also emphasizes the importance of role models, mentorship, and intentional investment in professional development, offering insightful advice for aspiring women leaders in healthcare. 02:35 – Growing up in Israel 05:09 – First job as a lifeguard and early influential leader 08:11 – Journey into Medicine and Ophthalmology 10:56 – Moving to the United States 14:19 – Turning Around UMass Ophthalmology Department 22:56 – Transition to Houston Methodist 25:23 – Focusing on Physician Wellbeing 29:39 – Elevating Women in Healthcare Leadership 34:06 – Balancing Career and Personal Life 36:18 – Characteristics of Effective Leaders 40:05 – Lightning Round and Closing Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

This content was recorded during a Retina UK webinar on Thursday 31 March 2022. You can watch the full version, which includes slides, on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RetinaUK. Dr Daniel Jackson will talk about medical imaging of the retina. Detailed imaging of the eye is crucial for the assessment of many eye conditions and retinal disorders in particular. He will be discussing what images you are likely to have during a hospital appointment; how they are taken; why we take them; how we interpret them; and how this helps in the management and treatment of retinal conditions. He will talk through pictures and examples to help illustrate exactly what we are looking at and what it means. Daniel is a Clinical Research Fellow working at Moorfields Eye Hospital and the Institute of Ophthalmology in London. He is currently undertaking a PhD with Professor Mariya Moosajee and works in the adult and children genetics clinics at Moorfields. His background is in Clinical Ophthalmology where he has almost completed his training in the Oxford training programme. He has a special interest in genetic eye disorders, including inherited retinal conditions, paediatrics and glaucoma.

In this episode, host Beckie Mossor, RVT, is joined by Lucien Vallone, DVM, DACVO, to unpack his recent Clinician’s Brief article, “Smartphone Technology in Clinical Ophthalmology.” Not tech savvy? Not a problem. Dr. Vallone makes it easy by first defining technical terms; then, he delivers quick tips for great ophthalmic images captured with a smartphone. He discusses indications for using a direct or indirect fundoscopy technique, whether there are instances in which the fundus should not or cannot be photographed, and when to reserve smartphone imaging for the fundic examination or if other portions of the examination can benefit from this technical tactic. He also addresses how to record these images in patient records.Resources discussed in this episode:https://www.cliniciansbrief.com/article/smartphone-technology-clinical-ophthalmologyhttp://www.theeyephone.comContact us:Podcast@briefmedia.comWhere to find us:Cliniciansbrief.com/podcastsFacebook.com/clinciansbriefTwitter: @cliniciansbriefInstagram: @clinicians.briefThe Team:Beckie Mossor, RVT - HostAlexis Ussery - Producer & Digital Content CoordinatorRandall Stupka - Podcast Production & Sound EditingMichelle Munkres - Senior Director of Content
