In this World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week episode, we meet Bee Yean Ng, the lead antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. Starting her journey in Malaysia and completing her pharmacy degree through a partnership with the University of Strathclyde, Bee shares her transition from community pharmacy training to hospital practice. Despite initial challenges in making this sector switch, her positive mindset and flexibility to relocate helped her seize new opportunities. During her foundational years at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, Bee worked under the mentorship of Claire Brandish and Kate Russell-Hobbs, who helped shape her clinical development. Bee's career took an international turn when she became involved with the Commonwealth Partnership for Antimicrobial Stewardship grant, working between the UK and Uganda. This experience, combined with the Chief Pharmaceutical Officer's Global Health Fellowship, sparked her passion for global health and led to her first publication. Now at Oxford, she leads a partnership with Kilifi County Referral Hospital in Kenya, demonstrating her growth from team member to project leader. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT LIFE OUTSIDE THE TRADITIONAL 9-5? Are you a pharmacist dreaming of: - Working on your own terms? - Achieving location independence? - Building financial freedom? I've been there. That's why I'm sharing my journey from traditional 9-5 pharmacist to creating a life of freedom and fulfillment. In this weekly newsletter, I'll be opening up about my transition to unconventional pharmacy, practical tips for working on your own terms, strategies for financial independence, and our family's adventures in homeschooling and world travel.

Join me on the Fast Track to Grant Writer: www.teresahuff.com/vip   Successful Strategy: Next Steps For Grant Writers & NonProfits Today I'm excited to talk about grant writing strategy with you. I love helping grant writers and nonprofits think through their first steps and simplify the process. If you haven't watched my TEDx talk, I recommend it as additional context for the conversation in this episode.  Today's guest Silvia reached out with interest in grant writing. She has international volunteer experience and sees firsthand some of the dire needs in our world. I love what she is wanting to do through the power of grant writing. On this grant writer strategy call episode, Silvia asks some great questions and we talk about several ideas for how she can get started.  As grant writers and nonprofits, it's important to ask hard questions and not wear rose colored glasses as we approach requests for grant funding.  Silvia and I talk about questions like: How do I start? How do I know if I am grant ready? How do I get past the fear of writing the first application? How to discuss helping nonprofits resolve needs? How important is it for nonprofits to have an online presence? I get it! New things are scary. I never thought I would do a TEDx Talk. Yet doing new things is how we continue to improve. Pushing ourselves is a way to help us learn to serve better. By learning and taking action, we help others fulfill their missions.  Whatever you're working through, I hope today's episode  gives you ideas and inspiration of how to move forward.   How Grants Build Generosity And Empower Volunteers Whether you are a grant writer or a nonprofit, building relationships is the foundation. This builds the confidence of everyone within the area of impact.  Grant writers have a lot of influence. We're able to connect the generosity of those unable to travel or volunteer with those who are on the ground physically serving. We also connect these causes and missions with the funding they need to fulfill those missions. It becomes a powerful force for good.   Challenge Question: What 2-3 action steps you can take this week to help you connect and build relationships with organizations around you?  Meet Silvia Bonvini Silvia is the mother of two young boys and wife to an American family doctor who is completing his Global Health Fellowship this year. His work has brought the family to Ethiopia, Kenya where they are now, and soon to Uganda. The family plans on working in Africa long-term at a Catholic mission hospital starting next year. Silvia hopes that she will be able to help hospitals and NGOs there through grant writing, while also exploring her interests in regenerative agriculture as it relates to nutrition, livelihoods, environmental protection, and women's empowerment.   Connect with Teresa Huff:  Website: www.teresahuff.com Watch the TEDx: The Real ROI of Grant Writing Take the Quiz: Do you have what it takes to be a grant writer?

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen talks to Dr. Sheneka Horne, a global health pediatrician and the founder of The Blk Doctor. They talk about global health fellowship programs and how students and doctors of color can find support on their journey in medicine.  [01:00] Introducing Dr. Sheneka Horne [05:09] Global Health Fellowship [09:48] Making an Impact Globally and Locally [13:17] The Blk Doctor [18:15] Finding Support for Marginalized Students How to Get Involved in Global Health Dr. Horne had several opportunities to travel locally and internationally to see how different health systems work. She advises anyone interested to choose a program carefully. Preferably the organization should have an ongoing presence, which means that they are using local interventions and teaching the natives how to continue the work they are doing. The more sustainable the effort, the better. While traveling, be mindful not to take photos that perpetuate stereotypes of impoverished communities. Making an Impact Globally and Locally Global health work in another country allows you to understand other cultures and health practices better. This experience offers a new way of looking at health and medicine. But even in the US, there are still places which have poor access to hospitals, electricity, and water. You can do meaningful work even in your home country. There's no shortage of people who need help. Supporting the Marginalized in Medicine The path to becoming a physician is not easy, but it can be even harder if you're part of a minority group. To help you on your journey, don't be afraid to reach out to others. Everybody has experienced failure at some point, so you are not alone.  Dr. Horne started The Blk Doctor in an effort to help black physicians overcome burnout. She coaches fellow doctors on how to ask for opportunities and boundaries for a more fulfilling practice.    You can reach Dr. Sheneka Horne through her Instagram and Facebook.

In this episode, Dr. O’Connell addresses misinformation regarding medications and their affects and interactions with the COVID-19 virus. Several agencies, including the FDA, have issued statements that they have found no evidence linking NSAID use and the worsening COVID-19 symptoms. There is also little scientific evidence that ACE inhibitors or ARB’s increase the risk for COVID-19 infection. The major medical societies in the United States and Europe recommend the continued use of ACE inhibitors and ARB’s even in the setting of COVID-19 infection.Special thanks to Pranay Bonagiri for helping research the topics discussed in todays episode.Your host is Dr. Ted O’Connell, family physician, educator, and author of numerous textbooks and peer-reviewed articles.

Throughout this episode we answer questions such as:How is the approach different at this time compared to treating cases of anxiety not related to a pandemic?What other types of mental health issues are being seen in light of current events?What are the long term psychological effects from a pandemic?Anxiety is on the rise as people try to process the current state of the world. There is also a rise of obsessive behaviors, acute stress disorder, depression, and a variety of other mental health struggles. Dr. Grande points out the recently "laxed" laws regarding tele-health, and the increased access to mental health counseling and services through this format, makes it easier than ever to get the help you may need during these trying times. The amount of information can be overwhelming and there is a high level of uncertainty as the situation evolves everyday. People may consume a lot of information but draw improper conclusions from it. The link between mind and body is a strong one and the mental health distress can have a direct consequence on physical health and make people more susceptible to become ill. Dr. Grande encourages people to focus on what they can do to protect themselves and try to reduce risk. We are urging people to keep in mind that there is a reason to look to the future and know things will improve.Your host is Dr. Ted O’Connell, family physician, educator, and author of numerous textbooks and peer-reviewed articles.
