Brother Randall M. Howell, 41, of Allied Federation Lodge 563, died following a road crossing incident in Roanoke Rapids, N.C.” Why are railroad workers all over the country dying on the job?

Recent technological advanceshave provided a solution to historical challenges with IV automation. These enhancements allow technicians to increase production and ensure greater accuracy while reducing human error or variationrisks. In either case, making it easier than before. Huntsville Hospital in Alabama was faced with the question of why they should choose IV automation? They had to go back a decade to answer that question, but it'seasy. Their primary goals, both then and today, are safety and savings. IV robotics helps bring those two goals together.

This week we are joined by Madeline Belk, who is finishing her PGY2 in infectious diseases at Huntsville Hospital. We discuss how to build a presence on social media and use it to help build your brand when applying to post-graduate training positions. We cover the do's and don'ts of social media from a professional standpoint. The social media account you choose to use and how you use it is completely up to you.  You can choose to be both personal and professional, or select specific social media accounts to be more personal vs more professional on.  Don't try to do too much at once, spend a few months getting really good at one social media platform before moving on to the next.  Tips for building your profile: 1.    Select a username that's simple and professional if using for learning or networking 2.    For your avatar or profile picture, use one of your face that is clear and that is trustworthy, likeable, and asymmetrical 3.    For your bio, include your location, city and state and where you work or train and what you are interested in.  4.    Be more effective, share photo's or screen shots or even just an emoji to be more visual. 5.    Tag other accounts when possible.  6.    Identify hashtags and join the conversation If you need help posting, try an OTILT, which stand for ONE THING I LEARNED TODAY.  *Follow Madeline Belk on Twitter @MadelineBelk  *Social Media primer for pharmacists article: https://doi.org/10.1002/jac5.1120 (https://doi.org/10.1002/jac5.1120) (Dixon DL, Reed BN. tweet or not to tweet?

We are joined again by Dr. Hannah Gibson, PGY1 resident at Huntsville Hospital

We are joined by Drs. Lauren Butler and Jacob Calahan, both PGY1 residents at Huntsville Hospital. Once interviews are completed, candidates and programs rank their programs. Program ranking is just putting your preference from greatest to least into the online National Matching Services (NMS) site. Candidates can rank all or none of the programs they interviewed at. They can even rank programs they did not interview at, but that would be pointless as those programs would not be ranking you in return. Programs also can rank all or none of candidates that interviewed. After the ranking deadline, which is usually beginning of March, the NMS runs an algorithm (very simple algorithm) that matches candidates. The Match algorithm is based on candidate preference, but even if it was not, it would usually result the same based on tests the NMS has done. You can see exactly how the algorithm works HERE on the NMS website. Several years ago, the match went from a single phase process to a multi-phase process. After the initial match, candidates would enter the "Scramble" where there were guidelines, but not real rules to getting a residency position. The thought behind this was change was to give more oversight to the process after the initial phase. Some programs may have also intentionally skipped the match or purposefully ranked no candidates so they could control the interview and hiring process similar to how all other recruitment is done in the real world. There is criticism that the new Multi-phased system is taking advantage of candidates and increasing the amount of money candidates have to pay to participate. The new Match consists of Phase I, the initial match, where programs and candidates rank each other and go through a matching algorithm. Phase II is basically an abbreviated version of the initial match, with a very short interview period and matching process. After Phase II is the "Post-match Phase II match process" which is essentially the Scramble. In the last few years, the new Scramble has not had much to scramble to as the majority of programs are filled between Phase I and Phase II. You can see the time-line for the Match HERE. Results are now released on a Wednesday morning at 8:00 a.m. EST, but have historically released on a Friday. Programs who have unfilled positions are released at 12:00 p.m. EST that day. You can see all the stats on the NMS website.

We are joined by Dr. Hannah Gibson, PGY1 resident at Huntsville Hospital. Evaluating programs is an essential part of the application process. Not only will it give you a better idea of what you are looking for in the program, it will allow you to generate questions to ask that program. Ways the evaluate programs:Talk to programs at showcasesTalk to graduates of the program (when available)Review directory listing on ASHP residency directory or ACCP residency/fellowship directoryReview program websiteReview institutional website where the program is housedShowcases:We address these in another episodeReview Residency Directories:Directories are sometimes a hit or miss. They will often be outdated and not contain relevant information about the program. The directory listing should really serve as the abstract or trailer for the program. You should be able to determine from the directory listing if the program is worth further investigation. If it is, then go to the programs website (if it even has a website). Review program website:This is generally where most of the information about a program is kept. You can find a lot of information about the design and experiences of past residents. Here is what you should look for when reviewing a website:Preceptor qualifications - are preceptors certified in their field of expertise (i.e. BCPS, BCACP, BCCCP)What types of rotations do they have?What types of rotations are required vs elective? - Look for variety here. If several of your must have rotations are listed as electives, it's not guaranteed you will be assigned to each one. Look for things like cardiology or critical care rotations as required vs elective. Also look for things like medication use evaluations and project months. These can be good, but if the majority of rotations are these filler rotations you may not get as robust of an experience. Who are the current residents and what are their qualifications?Who are the past residents and what are they doing now? - a huge indicator of the caliber of program is what the residents are doing after. What sort of careers does this program allow you to completeInformation concerning funding and travel - do they pay for you to attend midyear? Mentorship - is there an assigned mentor, is there a research mentor?Number of residency positions - do you like a small class or large residency classThings to look at, but really should not make or break the program for you:Staffing component, do you staff, how oftenSalary - lets face it, the salary is going to be around 45-55k a year based on cost of living. It is most likely more money than you have ever made before, and it is only 1 year, afterwards you will be making significantly more (unless you do PGY2).

On February 8, 2009, Lieutenant Lentz (now Assistant Chief) was working a residential dwelling fire when a wall unexpectedly collapsed on him. This resulted in multiple critical injuries including multiple fractured vertebrae, a pelvis fracture, a broken leg, multiple rib fractures and a collapsed lung. He was air lifted to Huntsville Hospital and underwent multiple surgeries and spent nearly a year in rehabilitation therapy, having to learn how to walk again. Listen as he recounts the events as they unfolded, what he was thinking as he laid there under the pile of debris, not sure if anyone even knew he was there, how his faith changed following the incident and his painful road to recovery.   Our sponsor: Midwest Fire MidwestFire.com   Guest Information Assistant Chief Morris Lentz Rogersville Volunteer Fire Department MorrisTLentz@bellsouth.net   Intro music Safety Dance (1982) Men Without Hats GMC - Virgin Records   Situational Awareness Matters! website www.SAMatters.com   Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System http://www.firefighternearmiss.com/   Contact Rich Gasaway www.RichGasaway.com Support@RichGasaway.com 612-548-4424
