Podcasts about Hahnemann University Hospital

Alexandra Hunt is a public health researcher, a girls' soccer coach, an advocate for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice, and an organizer. Alexandra ran for Congress in 2022, challenging a longtime local politician, because she didn't want anyone in our community to be unseen or unheard, anymore. She then ran for City Controller in 2023. Though the campaign has ended, her commitment to building a Philadelphia in which no one has to live in the shadows, endures. Alexandra is continuing her activism on local issues of importance – from addressing the root causes of violent crime, to justice reform, from ending “heath care deserts” exacerbated by the closing of Hahnemann University Hospital, to ensuring true equity in public school education – there is no shortage of challenges facing Philadelphia. Alexandra continues to believe progressive solutions to those issues are within reach, and is committed to helping make them happen.

Quick pause, join the 2022 waitlist to be considered for the IMG ROADMAP live group coaching program that starts in Spring 2022. Click here to start now. As a new year begins, IMGs all over the US continue to excel in their fields, inspiring thousands to do the same. Our guest today, 3rd year Cardiology fellow Dr. Marc Katz is no exception! Keep listening to find out more about his challenging yet rewarding journey. Dr. Katz attended Ross University and completed rotations in Brooklyn, New York. He completed Internal Medicine (IM) training at the Hahnemann University Hospital. He is currently a PGY6 in Cardiovascular Diseases, a subspecialty of IM. Here are some highlights of Dr. Katz' Cardiology fellowship: He chose IM because of its wide range of subspecialty opportunities when compared to family medicine, for instance. He completed 4 years of medical school, 3 years of IM training, and 3 years of General Cardiology fellowship. While he is qualified as a general cardiologist, he appreciates the fact that he can still specialize in more specific fields such as cardiac oncology, and electrophysiology. Dr. Katz' background also helped shape his medical success story: He attended SUNY Bingham for his undergraduate degree, as a first generation American born to South African immigrant parents. Initially, he didn't know that he wanted to go into medicine, and so he earned a GPA of 3.4 and a just below average MCAT score. He didn't immediately get into any of the US medical schools to which he applied, until he gained admission at Ross University. After medical school, he felt like he was fighting an uphill battle to match into residency as an IMG. While he found that Ivy League schools mainly only take people from “prestigious” schools, He advises IMGs not to be discouraged. However, he also advises people considering becoming IMGs to be aware of the potential challenges they may face. Here are Dr. Katz' thoughts on the future of IMGs: Step 1 going pass/fail is estimated to be another hurdle since program directors will likely find another metric by which to filter out applicants. So, it is important to build a strong application otherwise. Networking is essential–Dr; Katz attributes some of his opportunities to his mentor having put in a good word for him with program directors. In day to day life, the stigma against IMGs isn't as prevalent as we may think. Every year, while there are enough US grads to take up all of the available residency spots, they continue to take IMGs. Be encouraged by that fact! IMGs often fill underserved specialties and are invaluable in the US medical system. IMGs are here to stay!

So, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in urology. Later, Dr. Sloane wanted to promote more wellness. As a urologist, it was a perfect fit. Also, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in age management medicine, functional medicine, and peptides. [07:20] What Dr. Sloane Looks At When Treating Erectile Dysfunction First, Dr. Sloane checks free and total testosterone levels. However, the first test is not accurate. Nitric oxide is a key molecule for erections. When you hit 50, your levels of nitric oxide getting produced by the endothelial in your body decline drastically. Nitric oxide is a very important molecule in terms of just overall cardiovascular health, especially with erections. Also, Dr. Sloane will have a conversation about diet and exercise with his patients. [10:05] How To Boost Nitric Oxide Without Supplementation Diet is a big one when it comes to increasing nitric oxide levels. Sloane recommends adding these foods to your diet: Arugula Beets Bok choy After adding those foods to your diets, there are some other ways to improve nitric oxide levels: Exercise Good sleep Nose breathing [12:45] What You Can Do To Improve Your Prostate Health Lots of greens are going to be good for your prostate. A good diet with minimal sugar and carbs will be good for your prostate health. Sloane recommends checking out these supplements: https://theralogix.com/ Prostate cancer is genetically related. So make sure that you are getting tested regularly. Genetic screening and genetic counseling could be a great way of prevention.   [19:55] How Porn Brain Is Affecting Our Quality of Life Porn brain has been debated; some people do not feel that exists. However, Dr. Sloane says that porn is addicting. Men have to mimic the porn in their real sexual life, but they can't. So, they have a hard time getting turned on. Plus, porn leads to desensitization. Even with Instagram, it's an unattainable goal and a real issue. [22:50] All About GAINSWave And The Benefits of Using It GAINSWave is the premium brand of extracorporeal shockwave therapy for ED, performed by our network of highly-trained medical providers. It has been used in Europe for many years. The waves will break up any blockages the blood vessels have. Most of the time, ED is a blood vessel problem.

You have to be in good health in order to respond to GAINSWave. Learn more about GAINSWave: https://gainswave.com/ [30:15] The Role That Sleep Plays When It Comes To Your Sexual Health Sleep is a big deal. You have to maximize sleep as good as you can for what your body needs. We have to gear the conversation of sleep to your sleep habits. If you have poor sleep habits, you will run into problems. Sleep problems will make sexual issues worse.   [34:40] The Reasons That Dr. Sloane Is Such A Big Fan of Peptides   There are certain peptides, when given to the body, make your body do what it should be doing that it's not doing right now. So peptides could make your body create growth hormones. Peptides are signaling molecules. You can use peptides for healing and inflammation.   [37:20] The Four Main Things You Should Do After Listening To This Episode Stop using Google for everything. Eat real food. Exercise regularly.

Join Health Affairs Insider.In June 2019, Hahnemann University Hospital, a teaching hospital that had served poor residents in Philadelphia for more than 170 years, filed for bankruptcy and, within months, closed its doors for good. The complex story of its closure, after being purchased by a private equity executive, highlights concerns with health care finances and how physician training is caught in the middle.In this episode of the Narrative Matters podcast, Jessica Bylander talks to Sharon Griswold, a professor of emergency medicine at the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, who writes about Hahnemann's demise and what it meant for graduate medical education. Following a short interview, Griswold reads her essay, “Graduate Medical Education Should Not Be A Commodity.”Related Links: Graduate Medical Education Should Not Be A Commodity (Health Affairs) Hahnemann Hospital closure (WHYY) The Closure of Hahnemann University Hospital and the Experience of Moral Injury in Academic Medicine (Academic Medicine)

I'm re-airing an interview I did last year with Rochelle Yates Whittington. I got to know Shelly under the worst of circumstances – the murder of her five year old son Marcus in the cross fire of a drug related shoot out over 30 years ago. I've had the privilege of seeing her surviving sons and daughter into fine young adults. Shelly has written a book you need to know about that helps kids who've been impacted by violence. It's called “Can You Fix My Heart?” For more information email Psalms27rw@gmail or call 215-237-4333.

There are 21,000 babies born in Philadelphia every year. With the closure of Hahnemann University Hospital, many mothers would turn to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for their deliveries. The support and love felt strongly throughout the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department helped brace them for the increase in patients.

When Hahnemann University Hospital announced its closure in the summer of 2019, many post-graduate trainees in their residencies and fellowships were left questioning their futures. One psychiatry fellow, Dr. Adam Sagot, tells the story of how he landed at Jefferson.

Located only one mile away from Hahnemann University Hospital, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia saw an uptick in patients when Hahnemann closed the doors to its emergency room in the summer of 2019 as part of its overall closure. Hear from hospital president Rich Webster and staff members from the department on what that experience was like.

Dr. Richard Balon gives a lecture on physician burnout and mandated wellness and Nick Andrews talks to Damian McNamara about the final days of Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia.     Masterclass guest Richard Balon, MD: professor of psychiatry and training director at Wayne State University, Detroit. In March, Dr. Balon spoke at the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists 2019 annual meeting in Chicago, sponsored by Global Academy for Medical Education. Global Academy and this news organization are owned by the same company. Lecture Notes By Jacqueline Posada, MD, who is a consultation-liaison psychiatry fellow with the Inova Fairfax Hospital/George Washington University program in Falls Church, Va.   Physician burnout and effective interventions The scales (for example, the Maslach Burnout Inventory) do not necessarily represent the full extent of burnout: If physicians work 12 hours but find fulfillment in work, they will be tired but not necessarily burned out. However, if physicians work 12 hours a day feeling frustrated by the systemic problems, then burnout can ensue. Common contributors to provider burnout: Excessive workload: Pressures of working with an electronic medical record, extensive time spent on documentation; lack of work satisfaction and job control; lack of respect for the work; and student loan burden. “Moral injury”: The emotional burden that occurs when physicians cannot deliver ideal care/treatment to patients, especially when limited by resources (such as insurance or poverty), or other systemic health care issues. Work environment and organizational culture: These factors also contribute to physician burnout. Burnout is a problem for health care organizations as a whole Two main ways to address burnout: physician-directed interventions (focused on individuals) and organization-directed interventions. Organization-directed burnout prevention strategies include: Reducing workload; reducing time spent on documentation, such as decreasing time spent in front of EMRs; cultivating effective teamwork; fostering a sense of job control. Organizations prefer individual-focused interventions over systemic changes: Examples include mindfulness teaching, yoga, cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, education about burnout, and education. Individual-focused interventions are great, but they are not realistic for changing the culture that contributes to burnout. Interventions for burnout In a systematic review and meta-analysis in JAMA Internal Medicine, Maria Panagioti, PhD, and colleagues found that: Burnout interventions focused on individual physicians have small, significant effect on physician burnout. Organizational-directed approaches result in greater treatment effects, especially when interventions focus on promoting healthy individual/organization relationships. The impact of individual interventions can be improved when supported by organizational interventions. Interventions targeted at more experienced physicians within primary care settings show greater treatment effect than interventions targeted at less experienced physicians within secondary treatment settings. Approaches identified by staff can lead to meaningful change, as outlined by in a New England Journal of Medicine article by Melinda Ashton, MD. A Hawaiian health care system queried individuals (physicians and mid-level and nursing staff) to identify which parts of EMR documentation were poorly designed, unnecessary, and could lead to unintended burdens contributing to burnout. This type of survey improves the efficiency of a system and illustrates that the health care organization cares about preventing clinician burnout. References Panagioti M et al.

The Bernie campaign headed to Philadelphia to support protests against the closure of Hahnemann University Hospital, a city fixture that primarily serves lower-income and POC Americans. Private equity tycoon Joel Freedman is closing the hospital after just 18 months of ownership, by all appearances to sell its land to real estate developers. In this episode from the road, Briahna talks to protesters about what the hospital closure will mean for Philly. Plus, speeches from Bernie and Senator Nina Turner remind us that, in the words of Frederick Douglass, "power concedes nothing without a demand."
