What would you do if you opened your mail and saw a letter from the medical board? For many physicians, that moment triggers fear, shame, and a flood of worst-case scenarios. Even a single patient complaint can feel like your entire career is suddenly on the line. And because most of us were never trained on how medical board investigations actually work, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. In today's episode, I'm joined by Guillermo Beates, Esq., a seasoned healthcare attorney and partner at Friar Levitt, who works closely with physicians facing medical board investigations, licensing issues, audits, and administrative actions. Guillermo pulls back the curtain on a process that often feels mysterious, intimidating, and isolating—and explains what physicians really need to know to protect themselves and their careers. We talk honestly about why board investigations happen, what not to do if you're contacted, and how small missteps early on can snowball into much bigger problems. Most importantly, Guillermo shares a grounded, hopeful message: one investigation does not have to define your career. In this episode we're talking about: Common triggers for medical board investigations, including patient complaints, audits, and reports from other clinicians What different types of board notices mean, and how to "triage" them appropriately Why responding incorrectly (or not responding at all) can escalate a situation fast The risks of surrendering a license or DEA/CDS registration without legal guidance What consent orders are, and why they matter more than many physicians realize How investigations become public and what gets reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank Why fear and shame can push physicians to leave medicine prematurely, and why you don't have to Links for this episode: Frier Levitt - Professional Board Actions: https://www.frierlevitt.com/what-we-do/healthcare-law/professional-board-actions

Most people in CME and medical writing are using AI. Fewer have an actual workflow — something documented, repeatable, and defensible enough to explain to a client or compliance reviewer. This episode explores why that gap matters, what a staged workflow looks like in practice, and why this is becoming a professional differentiator right now.In this episode:Why "I try things and sometimes it works" is a ceiling, not a processThe difference between using AI and having an AI workflowWhat the 2026 MedComms Freelancing Barometer tells us about where the field is right nowWhy documentation and traceability are the parts most people skip — and why that's changingReady to build your workflow?The AI Practice Lab starts March 9th.

Perplexed by patients with normal exams but persistent symptoms like recurrent UTIs or palpitations? It could be menopause. In this insightful episode of Succeed In Medicine podcast, host Dr. Bradley Block interviews Dr. Lauren Streicher. They explore commonly overlooked menopause symptoms beyond hot flashes: recurrent urinary tract infections tied to genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), palpitations as "hot flashes of the heart" (often sinus tachycardia without EKG changes), GI microbiome shifts causing nebulous digestive issues, xerostomia (dry mouth) linked to oral health risks, and skin/hair changes like alopecia. Dr. Streicher emphasizes reassuring patients early, validating symptoms as hormonal, and tailoring treatments, vaginal estrogen, safe even for breast cancer patients, systemic hormones, or new non-hormonal NK3 receptor antagonists like fezolinetant. They discuss the SWAN study's findings on long-term risks from untreated hot flashes (e.g., cardiovascular disease, bone loss), the need to differentiate perimenopausal (temporary) vs. lifelong postmenopausal effects, and avoiding arbitrary hormone therapy stops after 5 years. The conversation also touches on sexual health gaps in medicine, with tips for better history-taking and resources like Dr. Stryker's "Come Again" course. Listeners, clinicians and patients alike, will gain tools to address menopause holistically, improving quality of life and preventing complications. Three Actionable Takeaways: Recognize GSM in Recurrent UTIs: For postmenopausal women with new-onset recurrent UTIs, suspect genitourinary syndrome of menopause, prescribe local vaginal estrogen (cream, suppository, or ring) to restore microbiome and tissue health; it's safe for most, including breast cancer survivors on aromatase inhibitors. Reassure on Palpitations First: When midlife women present with palpitations, lead with "This is common in perimenopause (up to 50% affected) likely autonomic dysfunction like a 'heart hot flash'"; order a Holter monitor, but emphasize it's often benign and tied to vasomotor symptoms, treatable with hormones or NK3 antagonists. Integrate Sexual History Properly: Ditch "Are you sexually active?",  ask "Many women in menopause experience low libido, pain with sex, or orgasm difficulty; are any of these issues for you?"; refer to resources like Dr. Streicher's course for evaluation scripts, screeners, and solutions to address 50% of patients' unspoken concerns.

Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education: Opportunities, Risks, and GuardrailsIn this episode of The Pediatric Lounge, the hosts welcome back Dr. Rani Gareige, director of medical education and designated institutional official at Nicklaus Children's Hospital and a clinical professor at Florida International University, to discuss artificial intelligence in medical education now and in the future. They preview Nicklaus Children's Hospital's 61st annual postgraduate pediatrics CME conference in Fort Lauderdale (Hilton Marina Resort, March 20–22), highlighting sessions on IBD, short stature, dermatology, psychological screening, AI in practice management, social media communication, genetic testing/personalized medicine, and Florida's new requirement for EKG screening to clear athletes starting ninth grade. The conversation covers common AI tools learners use (ChatGPT, Claude, OpenEvidence) and institutional concerns about HIPAA/PHI, including blocking public tools and using a secure in-house system (“Ask Nick”) and closed or constrained approaches (e.g., tools that search only approved sources or documents provided, such as Google Notebook). They explore concerns about de-skilling and when to introduce AI in training, faculty development needs, and a precepting framework (DEFT-AI: Diagnosis, Evidence, Feedback, Teaching, and Recommendations for AI use) to assess clinical reasoning. The episode also discusses AI for simulated patient interactions (bad news delivery, motivational interviewing), ambient AI scribing pilots, clinician responsibility to review notes, and AI-driven coding that may reduce undercoding and administrative burden. The discussion concludes that AI will not replace physicians, but clinicians who use AI wisely may replace those who do not, stressing the importance of policies, ethics, transparency, and maintaining empathy and the art of medicine.00:00 Podcast Intro and Guest02:25 CME Conference Details03:13 Hot Topics and New Laws04:44 EKG Screening Program07:42 AI Tools in Training11:42 IRB and Data Privacy14:39 Meeting Minutes Automation16:48 Closed Models for Clinicians19:13 AI Hallucinations and References24:16 Deskilling and Timing AI30:11 Teaching Frameworks for AI32:46 Back to Evidence Basics33:40 Questioning the Evidence34:48 AI and Human Empathy37:45 AI as Clinical Assistant41:01 Recertification in the AI Era46:32 Ethics and Prompting50:40 AI Scribing and Guardrails54:35 Coding and Care Gaps57:15 Future of Medical Education01:01:13 Virtual Trials and Wrap-Up01:0Support the show

Send a textThere are practices that look profitable on paper and still feel constantly on edge.Payroll clears, but just barely. Distributions feel risky. Hiring decisions get delayed. Big expenses create anxiety instead of confidence. And despite doing “well,” leadership always feels like they're waiting for the other shoe to drop.That feeling usually has nothing to do with profit.It has everything to do with cash flow.Cash flow tells the truth in a way no other financial statement does. Revenue tells you what you earned. Profit tells you what's left after expenses. But cash flow tells you whether you're actually safe—and what the next twelve months are likely to feel like.Today, we're talking about what your financials are saying about your future, why cash flow forecasting is one of the most underused leadership tools in medicine, and why having three forecasts—not one—is what separates confident practices from reactive ones.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Host Dr. Jay Sridhar welcomes Dr. Sarwar Zahid to unpack a recent American Journal of Ophthalmology perspective essay on the growing segment of hospital-employed ophthalmologists. They examine the appeal of the hospitalist model—shift-based work, reduced administrative burden, and work-life balance—alongside potential drawbacks, including income ceilings, RVU pressure, and burnout. The conversation broadens to declining physician ownership, the challenges of hospital call coverage, and the downstream threat to residency training. The episode finally shifts to whether a focused practice designation (FPD) could help define subspecialty expertise, improve patient care, and give ophthalmologists a stronger seat at the bargaining table.

Few issues have tested public trust in medicine as deeply as vaccines, and few individuals have influenced that dialogue more than Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a longtime member of the FDA's Vaccine Advisory Committee. In this timely and candid interview with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Offit points to this year's severe flu season and a resurgence of measles as alarming proof points of how a changing federal perspective on vaccine policy is having a real impact on public health. “You'd like to think you can educate about the importance of vaccines, but I fear at this point the viruses themselves are doing the educating.” In this wide ranging discussion, Dr. Offit also addresses: The rigorous and painstaking process of developing vaccines, based on his experience co-inventing the rotavirus vaccine. Shifting levels of public trust in scientific organizations. Promising innovations in vaccine development. Don't miss this deeply-informed perspective on the interplay of science, policy, and public education, and his encouraging message to young clinicians about managing the current challenges in public health.  Mentioned in this episode: Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of PhiladelphiaPerelman School of Medicine If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

You already know how to write learning objectives. You reference Bloom's taxonomy. You understand Moore's outcomes framework. But here's the real question:When you write a learning objective, can you clearly identify the two to three specific clinical tasks that must happen for that objective to be achieved?In this episode—based on a webinar I participated in with the Good CME Practice Group—we go deeper than frameworks. We unpack what actually sits underneath a learning objective and how that layer determines whether your CME changes practice… or simply delivers information.What We Explore in This EpisodeWhy learning objectives are signposts—not the design itselfHow to break each objective into 2–3 concrete clinical tasksThe role of workflow, format, and audience context in determining granularityHow learning science (cognitive load, retrieval practice, feedback) strengthens action-focused designWhere CME programs most commonly lose alignment between need, content, assessment, and outcomesKey TakeawayIf you can't name the specific clinical actions required to meet an objective, the content won't drive behavior change.Design lives underneath the objective.Next StepIf this episode resonated, try this:Take one learning objective from a current project and ask:What are the two or three specific clinical actions underneath it?Where do those actions appear in the content?Where are they assessed?That exercise alone will elevate your design work.And if you want structured practice applying this level of thinking—with feedback, live coaching, and a community of CME professionals—explore WriteCME Pro.This is where writers become design partners.ResourcesGood CME Practice GroupMentioned in this episode:AI Practice LabBuild a Practical, Safe, Repeatable AI-assisted Workflow in Just 4 Weeks.

What if robots could handle tedious retraction, precise bone milling, or even autonomous suturing, freeing surgeons to focus on complex decision-making and more patients?In this episode of the Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. Michael Yip, as he explains that today's robots primarily serve as extensions of human surgeons via teleoperation (e.g., da Vinci for precision in hard-to-reach areas), enhancing dexterity, visualization, and accuracy rather than replacing them. He highlights existing autonomous applications in "hard tissue" procedures like the Mako or Stryker robots for precise bone milling in joint replacements, and non-contact examples like CyberKnife for focused radiation therapy.For soft tissue surgery, the more challenging domain due to tissue deformation and variability, autonomy is emerging in simpler, repetitive tasks such as retraction, suctioning, or basic suturing, with demonstrations dating back 15 years but real-world deployment lagging due to engineering, data, and economic hurdles. Dr. Yip discusses why demos in controlled settings don't easily translate to ORs, the shift to data-driven AI (with risks of out-of-distribution failures), and regulatory challenges like FDA expertise gaps and defining probabilistic safety. He predicts stepwise adoption: starting with assistant-level tasks (replacing med student/intern roles in retraction/suction), then progressing to free surgeons for higher-value work, especially in underserved rural areas via telesurgery. Full "skin-to-skin" autonomy (e.g., simple lipoma excision or appendectomy) remains years away, limited by hardware combining strength, dexterity, and precision in one system, though teams of specialized robots could accelerate progress. Ultimately, robotics will alleviate surgeon burnout from growing demand, not eliminate jobs soon.Three Actionable TakeawaysEmbrace Robotics Early in Training: Surgeons and trainees should gain hands-on experience with diverse robotic technologies now, treating them as essential tools that augment precision and dexterity rather than threats to obsolescence.Focus on Repetitive Tasks for Autonomy Gains: Prioritize robotic assistance in tedious, physically demanding steps like retraction, suctioning, or basic closure to free up time, reduce fatigue, and improve efficiency in high-volume or resource-limited settings.Stay Informed on Regulatory and Economic Shifts: Monitor evolving FDA guidelines for AI/surgical autonomy, economic incentives (e.g., cost savings in joint replacements or anastomosis), and liability frameworks to prepare for integration that enhances patient access and outcomes.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Send a text“Busy” is one of the most dangerous words in medicine.It sounds positive. Reassuring, even. When a practice is busy, it feels productive. Schedules are full. Phones are ringing. The waiting room is packed. From the outside—and often from the inside—it looks like success.But over the years, we've seen something very different play out behind the scenes.Some of the busiest practices we work with are also the most fragile. Margins are thin. Physicians are exhausted. Cash flow feels unpredictable. Decision-making becomes reactive. And despite all that activity, there's a quiet sense that the practice isn't as healthy as it should be.That's because “busyness” is not the same thing as sustainability.Today, we're talking about the numbers that reveal whether your practice is actually healthy. Not just productive. Not just active. But resilient, stable, and built to last.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Today, I am excited to share the first class in a series of lipid masterclasses with the amazing Dr. Thomas Dayspring! Dr. Dayspring is certified in internal medicine and clinical epidemiology and is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association. He was previously the Educational Director of a nonprofit organization and has served as the Chief Academic Advisor for two major cardiovascular labs.  Given the in-depth nature of my discussions with Dr. Dayspring over several sessions, each lasting nearly six hours, it seemed logical to present these masterclasses in segments to make them easier to understand. In our first class today, we dive into the fundamentals, exploring what lipids are and how lipids and fatty acids are classified. We cover the physiology and transport of cholesterol and the roles of apoptosis, apo-proteins, and apo-lipoproteins; we unravel the differences between HDL, LDL, IDL, and VLDL; and we explain how to calculate LDL and triglycerides to assess metabolic health. Dr. Dayspring also shares his preferences regarding lab values and indicators that help him assess the early risk of cardiovascular disease. We cover some detailed aspects of physical chemistry in this episode, so I highlight the main clinical points throughout our conversation to make it easier to follow. Be sure to join Dr. Dayspring and me for our next episode in the lipid masterclass series. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: What are lipids, and why are they important? Dr. Dayspring explains what triglycerides are. How lipids get absorbed and transported throughout the body What lipoproteins are, and how they get classified How cholesterols get calculated The impact of triglycerides on cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health How high triglyceride levels can indicate early insulin resistance or increased ASCVD risk What is the role of HDL particles? How metabolic syndrome impacts cardiovascular health Bio: Thomas Dayspring MD is a Fellow of both the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association and is certified in internal medicine and clinical lipidology. After practicing in New Jersey for 37 years, he moved to Virginia in 2012. He served as an educational director for a nonprofit cardiovascular foundation and, until mid-2019, as a Chief Academic Advisor for two major CV laboratories. Since then, he has served as a virtual cardiovascular / lipidology educator. Career-wise he has given over 4000 domestic (in all 50 states) and several international lectures, including over 600 CME programs on atherothrombosis, lipids/lipoproteins (and their treatment), vascular biology, biomarker testing, and women's cardiovascular issues. He has authored several manuscripts and lipid textbook chapters and performed several podcasts. For several years, he was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Clinical Lipidology. He was the recipient of the 2011 National Lipid Association's Presidents Award for services to clinical lipidology and the 2023 Foundation of NLA Clinician/Educator Award. He has over 34K followers on his educational Twitter (X) feed (@Drlipid). He has Gold Heart Member status as a professional member of the American Heart Association and serves as a Social Media Ambassador for the European Atherosclerosis Society and the National Lipid Association.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this interview, Dr. Nikia Smith, a board-certified anesthesiologist, wellness coach, and retreat curator, shares how she experienced burnout twice during her attending career and nearly left medicine. She describes early warning signs (persistent fatigue despite rest, increasing irritability, and eventual emotional numbness and autopilot), and links her initial burnout to chronic understaffing after colleagues left and a lack of administrative support, including being told the team was “handling it so well” that additional hires were unnecessary. After a near-20-hour call shift, she set boundaries by refusing further call, began educating herself on burnout, compassion fatigue, and self-compassion (including reading Kristin Neff), and rebuilt recovery through small, joy-based habits, movement (starting with Pilates), and reconnecting with community. She ultimately left a job that would not put agreed terms into a contract, moved to a no-call role to regain nights and weekends, and later negotiated for a part-time contract; she now works in Las Vegas under a contract requiring eight days per month, aligned with her goal of working 10 days or less. Dr. Smith explains how her personal retreat became an annual four-day wellness retreat for physicians (expanding to other clinicians) that includes CME and group learning on moral injury, perfectionism, invisible labor/“third shift,” and practical strategies such as boundary-setting, negotiating schedules, and mutual support (including helping participants craft emails). She advises clinicians to talk to others to learn what's possible, keep asking for what they need (e.g., administrative time for committee work), and recognize that burnout recovery is not a quick fix but a process of re-engaging with self and community. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Burnout Recovery Takes Time and Intentional Action: Burnout develops gradually over years, and recovery requires more than just rest. Dr. Smith emphasizes reconnecting with activities that bring joy and energy (like movement, hobbies, and community), even when exhausted. Small, consistent steps—like 5-minute walks or puzzles—can help rebuild your capacity to recharge. Advocate for Your Non-Negotiables: Healthcare systems often claim certain accommodations are "impossible" until you're ready to leave. Dr. Smith successfully negotiated no-call schedules and eventually part-time work (8-10 days/month) by persistently asking and being willing to walk away. She encourages clinicians to keep asking for what they need and get terms in writing. Systemic Issues Require Personal Boundaries: While healthcare systems prioritize profits over provider wellbeing, waiting for institutional change isn't sustainable. Dr. Smith learned to set firm boundaries—like refusing additional committee work without administrative time, and leaving jobs that wouldn't honor her needs. The solution involves both advocating for systemic change and taking personal responsibility for protecting your wellbeing. Meet Dr. Nikia Smith: Dr. Nikia Smith is a practicing board-certified anesthesiologist, wellness coach, and retreat facilitator. She's also the founder of She Is Fire Forged, a transformative wellness brand that helps high-achieving women of color reclaim their peace, power, and purpose. With over a decade (and counting!) of experience in the high-stress world of medicine, Nikia brings a deeply informed lens to conversations around burnout, boundaries, and emotional restoration. Nikia specializes in guiding women—especially Black women in leadership and healthcare—through the exhaustion that comes from constantly being everything for everyone. She equips her clients with the tools to say no without guilt, build lives rooted in their own definitions of success, and live in softness over survival mode. Through retreats, coaching, and community care, Nikia curates spaces where women are invited to pause, reset, and reimagine what thriving truly looks like. Her work blends evidence-based wellness tools with embodied spiritual practice, creating a holistic path forward rooted in softness, sustainability, and self-trust. She's also been featured as a guest on the Docs Get Money and Free to Be Mindful podcasts. Outside of her work, Nikia prioritizes rest, joy, and connection. You'll find her reading, recharging with loved ones, and spending time with her niece, modeling what's truly possible for a strong and powerful woman in this world. Connect with Dr. Nikia Smith:

In this episode of the Milk Road Show, we sit down with Jeff Dorman (CIO of Arca) to break down what's happening in crypto right now, and why obsessing over the Bitcoin price might be causing investors to miss the biggest opportunities in the market. Was the recent crypto selloff actually a crypto problem? Or was it macro funds and TradFi deleveraging spilling into Bitcoin? Jeff explains how CME basis trades, ETF flows, and cross-asset volatility triggered the recent downturn, and why retail investors may have handled it better than institutions.~~~~~⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Matt Holland is Chief Operating Officer at Healio, a company that has been producing high-quality, vetted information for healthcare professionals for over 100 years. The company has focused on personalization of data as it has evolved from print to digital to AI-driven access to on-demand information. Healio AI is also transforming continuing medical education from a static activity to a dynamic, personalized experience based on real-time information gaps. Matt explains, "We're a little bit unique in this space. We're family-owned and privately held, and have been for over a hundred years. So there are a lot of companies in this market right now that are not. So for decades, the focus has really been on developing and delivering quality information to healthcare professionals through all sorts of different channels. Obviously, prior to the internet, it started with good publications and journals. We also have a series of live meetings and conferences, but the primary focus really is the Healio AI, which we launched and evolved, and have been evolving, I should say, for the past 13 years or so." "We just announced the Physician Advisory Board the other day. We just announced that physicians can get credit for CME and CV credits for their searches. And the reason why I mention that is physicians are no longer looking to necessarily read a full article or go into a deep dive on a particular topic. They're looking for an answer to a question they may have either prior to the point of care, during the point of care, or after. And we all know that their time is precious, and obviously, the issue of burnout is pretty pervasive. So, our goal is really to help make their lives simpler and improve the quality of their practice and the delivery of the care that they provide." "We are a publishing news organization, and every day we develop 50-60 pieces of content from the FDA or from conferences or new studies that were released, and that's going into our model every 24 hours. So, there's sort of a deep dive substantive piece with the peer-reviewed and the journal content. There's a recency component to it with our news that goes into it, which makes the Healio AI a little bit different and we think unique, and I think balances and then hopefully more accurately and quickly addresses the questions that healthcare professionals have."  #Healio #HealioAI #DigitalHealth #HealthcareAI #GenAI #MedicalTechnology #HealthcareProfessionals #CME #PointOfCare #MedicalInformation #HealthTech #PhysicianBurnout #ContinuingEducation #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalJournalism #AIinHealthcare Healio.com  Listen to the podcast here

Middle meats are steady, strips keep climbing, and thin meats are gaining momentum earlier than usual. Grinds paused — but don't get too comfortable.POULTRY: Strong production and strong demand keep prices trending higher. Breasts and tenders lead, wings finally steady. Avian flu cases slowed, but the story isn't over.GRAINS: Soy is making a move thanks to biofuel demand. Corn is flat, wheat trying to find direction. Feels like the start of something — we'll see.PORK: Bellies climbed again to $135 and are building into spring. Loins still a value, butts and ribs inching up. Bacon buyers, take note.DAIRY: A mixed CME week — small moves in both directions. Nothing dramatic… yet.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

“I do not believe we should be testing to test. We have to know, is this test going to change management and is it going to make a difference,” says pediatric allergist-immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin. His knack for providing that sort of straightforward guidance explains why Dr. Rubin has become a trusted voice on allergies, asthma, and vaccines for his millions of followers on social media platforms. It's also why we couldn't ask for a better guide for our discussion on the rise in allergies, asthma, and immune-related conditions in children, and how families can navigate the quickly evolving science and rampant misinformation in the space. On this episode of Raise the Line, we also preview Dr. Rubin's new book, All About Allergies, in which he breaks down dozens of conditions and diseases, offering clear explanations and practical treatment options for families. Join host Lindsey Smith for this super informative conversation in which Dr. Rubin shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics including: What's behind the rise in allergic and immune-related conditions.Tips for managing misinformation, myths and misunderstandings. How digital platforms can be leveraged to strengthen public health.How to build back public trust in medicine.Mentioned in this episode:All About Allergies bookBench to Bedside PodcastInstagramTikTokYouTube Channel If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Hosts: Jake Lancaster MD, Chief Medical Information Officer and Amanda Comer DNP, System Director, Advanced Practice ProvidersGuest: Zachary Nahmias, MD, Dermatologist Summary:In this episode of Right Care Baptist, host Dr. Jake Lancaster (Chief Medical Officer, Baptist Medical Group) and Amanda Comer, NP (Chief Advanced Practice Officer) sit down with Dr. Zachary Nahmias, a board-certified dermatologist at NEA Baptist Clinic in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to discuss the most common dermatology referrals from primary care and how to manage them more effectively.Dr. Nahmias breaks down his top five referral categories — suspicious skin lesions, psoriasis, eczema/contact dermatitis, adult acne, and hard-to-place rashes — and offers practical guidance for each. The conversation covers red flags for skin cancer (flat irregular lesions, bleeding, pain, and the "ugly duckling" that stands out from surrounding spots), when and how to screen patients, and the importance of gathering UV exposure and family history before referring.The discussion then shifts to rashes, where Dr. Nahmias encourages primary care providers to treat confidently when they recognize common conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis rather than deferring to a 6-month dermatology wait. He highlights common pitfalls including diagnostic anchoring, the risk of topical steroids masking or feeding fungal infections, the dangers of systemic steroids for psoriasis causing a rebound "whiplash," and misusing high-potency topical steroids in sensitive skin fold areas. He walks through distinguishing tinea from eczema by looking for a leading scale with an erythematous base, and recommends Lotrisone as an underappreciated option when the diagnosis is unclear on the feet and lower legs.On drug-related rashes, Dr. Nahmias discusses the challenge of identifying culprit medications in patients on multiple drugs, common inpatient offenders like vancomycin and sulfa drugs, and serious reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and DRESS syndrome.The episode wraps with advice on building relationships with local dermatology offices, taking clinical photos to share with referrals, knowing when to send a patient urgently (vasculitic rashes, sudden whole-body eruptions with systemic symptoms), and how the VisualDx diagnostic platform can help primary care providers narrow differentials and select first-line treatments.CME Credit Info:Link to complete brief survey and claim CME credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C55LKSYCME credit is available for up to 3 years after the stated release dateContact CEOD@bmhcc.org if you have any questions about claiming credit.

What if a simple posture adjustment or a moment of focused listening could transform your patient encounters, making them more efficient and empathetic?In this episode of the Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. Nick Morgan, drawing from his work coaching Fortune 50 CEOs and TED speakers, Dr. Morgan breaks down how physicians can project authority and empathy right from the first moment in the exam room. He explains the "outside-in" and "inside-out" approaches to charisma: aligning your posture for confidence and clearing mental distractions to give undivided attention. The discussion covers reading patient cues, like open vs. closed postures to gauge understanding or discomfort, mirroring body language to build rapport during tough conversations, and respecting personal space (1.5–4 feet) for meaningful exchanges. Dr. Morgan also introduces "charismatic listening," where stilling your entire body signals genuine presence, fostering trust in seconds. Whether delivering bad news or handling hostile patients, these tools help doctors communicate more effectively, reducing visit times while improving outcomes.Three Actionable TakeawaysMaster Posture for Authority: Before entering the room, align your body against a wall or take a deep breath to stand at full height. This conveys confidence without arrogance and sets a professional tone.Clear Your Mental To-Do List: Pause for 30 seconds to erase distractions, using a personal ritual (like a head twitch or imaginary gesture) to focus solely on the patient, ensuring undivided attention that builds trust instantly.Practice Charismatic Listening: During key moments, face the patient fully, still your body, and maintain open posture to listen with your "whole body". This signals empathy and receptivity, especially in emotional or critical exchanges.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.
