Many people who go into medicine come from well-off families and don't know what it's like to live in poverty. So when they graduate and become physicians, they can struggle to understand why their therapeutic interventions aren't improving the lives of their patients. This, according to Dr. Pedro José Greer Jr., is because med schools have not done a great job helping their students understand the social determinants of health — the many nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. “It's not for the student physician to be able to resolve the social determinants, it's for them to really understand what they are,” Greer said. “Without understanding all these other things, we're not going to make [the] right therapeutic calls. “The health outcomes in this country are embarrassingly bad,” he added. “So we have to be driven to improve those disparities.” Greer is an American physician of Cuban descent and founding dean of the Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Medicine. He spoke with Health Disparities podcast host Claudia Zamora about how to improve medical education, why diversity matters, and why it's critical that med schools train doctors to show compassion and empathy for their patients. The conversation was recorded in person at the 2023 Movement Is Life annual Health Equity Summit.

Over the next few months, Dean's Chat will be providing bonus episodes interviewing students from the Schools and Colleges of Podiatric Medicine.

We do some professor shout-outs and discuss student services, extracurricular activities, and student life at each school. Dr. Jeffrey Jensen interviews three students from the Western University of Health Sciences – College of Podiatric Medicine, and the students discuss their educational experiences and shed light on what podiatric medicine entails. The students also highlight the various specializations within podiatric medicine, such as sports medicine, surgery, biomechanics, and diabetic foot care. Tune in to gain insight into the educational pathway to becoming a podiatric physician. In this episode, the students stress the significance of seeking help and utilizing tutoring and support services. They emphasize that there is no shame in asking for assistance and highlight that Western University offers tutoring, support, and learning skills resources to all students. The students encourage other students to take advantage of these resources to adjust and take care of themselves. The students also mention the importance of reaching out for help and mention various avenues for assistance, including upperclassmen, the administration, and faculty members. The students emphasize that the professors at Western U genuinely care about the students' success and are readily available to provide help and support. Belinda and Brian both express their appreciation for professors who have positively impacted their education. Belinda specifically mentions Dr. Joseph Park, their instructor for PMP3, praising him for his ability to teach and care for patients.

For our 4th and final Osteopathic Medicine Month episode, we had the pleasure to host Student Doctor Edith Waskel, OMS-IV, and Student Doctor Edward Ng, OMS-IV, MS. Edie and Ed are current fourth year osteopathic medical students and soon-to-be graduates of the Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (WU-COMP) in Pomona, California. Successfully beating the odds and couples matching to the University of Illinois-Chicago Emergency Medicine Residency program, they will begin their physician journey as emergency medicine interns this July.  Connected to the mind, body, spirit approach of osteopathic medicine, a career as an osteopathic physician was a natural choice for Edie. As she entered medical school, she quickly recognized her passion for healthcare policy and osteopathic political advocacy and entered into leadership roles within the Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) – currently serving as the student representative on the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Board of Trustees. In this position, Edie has worked alongside Kevin Klauer, D.O., EJD,  current CEO of the AOA, to help eliminate any remaining osteopathic medical student discrimination students may have encountered when applying to away rotations and residencies – a huge success for the osteopathic profession. Additionally, enthusiastic about social medicine, she has also served as the National SOMA Community Outreach Director and on the SOMA Resolutions Committee to help amplify the osteopathic medical student voice.    Also aligning with his healthcare philosophy, Ed chose to pursue a career as an osteopathic physician over the allopathic route – with a bonus that WU-COMP was close to home. As a first generation American and college student, Ed's connection to medicine grew from his humble roots and desire to serve others. Like Edie, Ed chose to pursue medical school leadership positions focused on healthcare policy and osteopathic political advocacy. As a medical student, Ed served on the American Association of Osteopathic Medicine's Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents – overseeing the Mental Health Awareness Task Force. In this position, he helped to organize the Osteopathic Medical Student Day of Wellness dedicated to bringing recognition to the mental health challenges medical students face and stopping the stigma associated with mental health. Similarly to Edie, he also worked to pass osteopathic medical policy, to help further and better the profession, as an alternate voting delegate at the 2019 American Osteopathic Association House of Delegates.  As they enter into the next stage of their osteopathic medical career, Edie and Ed are excited for their future together as emergency medicine residents in Chicago, IL – and hopefully, with a puppy. Tune in to learn more about their experience with the NRMP couple's match, healthcare policy and osteopathic political advocacy, and their advice for students pursuing a career in osteopathic medicine. Edited by Nicholas Buskill

About 10% of males in the US experience some form of pelvic pain. Nonbacterial Prostatitis tends to be one of the most common diagnoses. However, many men are seen by multiple urologists, receive extensive medical work up, find that none of the medications works, and end up feeling helpless. When they are finally seen by a pelvic specialist, they can begin to have the confidence they need to regain control of their life.Dr. T. R. Christian Reutter from Pelvic Rehabilitation, explains to us why seeing a pelvic pain specialist should be the first line of defense in the absence of bacterial/viral infection. Other than being set up with pelvic floor physical therapy, specific medications, trigger point injections, peripheral nerve hydrodissection injections, and other minimally invasive procedures can help men who experience pelvic pain.Dr. Reutter attended medical school at the University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kansas City Missouri and then completed his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. He practiced for almost 17 years as a sports medicine and spine specialist in San Francisco, California before joining the Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine team in New York.He took an interest in pelvic pain and realized that there were limited resources with regard to addressing pelvic pain conditions. He joined the Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine Team in order to further pursue his interests. As a physiatrist, he feels that he brings a unique approach to patient care with the goal of pain reduction/resolution, improvement in the quality of life, and allowing the patient to return to the activities that they enjoy.Connect with him at https://www.pelvicrehabilitation.com/

In episode 46 of MicrobeWorld Video, filmed at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Meeting in Washington, D.C., Dr. Stan Maloy talks with Tracey McNamara, professor of pathology at Western University of Health Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine, about her role as the head pathologist at the Bronx Zoo during the 1999 West Nile virus outbreak in New York City. As several local residents were hospitalized with encephalitis of unknown origin, many crows and exotic zoo birds were dying off. It was determined that the patients had St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) which is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that got the virus from infected birds. However, birds with SLE do not get sick and a possible connection between the dying crows and human cases was dismissed by many experts. McNamara suspected there was more to this story because of the large number of birds that were also contracting encephalitis and struggled to make her voice and preliminary research heard that suggested a new disease may be emerging in North America. It wasn't until she connected with researchers at the US Army Medical Research Institute in Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Ft. Detrick, Maryland, who quickly confirmed that the virus that was killing the crows and her birds at the Bronx Zoo was West Nile virus, a disease endemic to Africa and parts of Europe that also infects people. McNamara's experience has made her a champion of One Health – "a call to action for collaboration and cooperation among health science professions, academic institutions, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industries towards improved assessment, treatment, and prevention of and mutually prevalent, but non-transmitted, human and animal diseases and medical conditions."
