In this issue of Com d'Archi, through the voice of Esther, discover the project ‘La Porte Bleue' — The Blue Door — by Pietri Architectes. This text is written by Anne-Charlotte and based on the French interview with Jean-Baptiste Pietri, founder of Pietri Architectes.Jean-Baptiste Pietri is one of those rare architects who still allows himself to dream. He has kept a strong, assertive gesture in the practice of the discipline and defines himself as a 'rationalistic romantic'. His agency is involved in numerous programs throughout France, ranging from individual houses to office towers, including a luxury hotel with its feet in the water. But it is to Marseille that he is attached. This Mediterranean heritage is felt in his work of the material, in curves, light colors and thicknesses.The 'La Porte Bleue' project in Marseille is a four-star tourist residence and housing. Located between the port, the roads and the city, it is one of the gates to Marseille. Symbol of a ‘living together' characteristic of the Phocaean city, where communities have been crossing and mixing for centuries. The facades of this tower are adorned with lace made of a multitude of white concrete vaults leaning on each other. A real design feat, that nevertheless meets strict specifications with the choice of a concrete shaped locally with a lower environmental impact.Enjoy sunny Côte d'Azur in this episode!Image teaser DR © IMGS + et Michele Clavel Sound engineering : Julien Rebours___If you like the podcast do not hesitate:. to subscribe so you don't miss the next episodes,. to leave us stars and a comment :-),. to follow us on Instagram @comdarchipodcast to find beautiful images, always chosen with care, so as to enrich your view on the subject.Nice week to all of you !

It is increasingly difficult for patients to access health care clinicians, especially in rural and underserved areas. Not enough clinicians are entering the workforce to replace those quitting or retiring while the US population is growing and aging. The average wait for a first‐​time doctor's appointment is 26 days. Yet, state licensing laws prevent experienced international medical graduates (IMGs) who migrate to the United States from offering their services to residents. Unlike many other developed countries, American states require IMGs to repeat their residency training in accredited US programs – convincing many IMGs to not practice medicine. Several states are reforming their licensing laws to remove obstacles preventing IMGs from practicing medicine, but not without controversy.Join Jonathan Wolfson, Chief Legal Officer and Policy Director at the Cicero Institute, Maqbool Halepota, MD, FACP, Medical Director at Palo Verde Cancer Center‐​Scottsdale, and Lisa Robin, Chief Advocacy Officer at the Federation of State Medical Boards, for a discussion of the issue.

Dr. Amna Shabbir was a previous podcast listener and member of the Physician's Coaching Alliance. In the depths of burnout, she stumbled across Dr. Me First and found that she wasn't alone in her physician burnout. After listening for over a year throughout her toughest times, she finally reached out to me, and the rest has been history.  Originally from Pakistan, Dr. Amna made her journey to the US as an international medical graduate (IMG). Statistically, IMGs tend to practice in underserved communities and with the elderly. Hardworking and dedicated, IMGs are still susceptible to burnout as they end up in areas with minimal resources, stressful work situations, and a system that is stacked against them. With the cultural influence that many IMGs face about the career pressures to become a doctor, it can make the journey out of physician burnout that much more difficult. Finding themselves in situations where they are often underpaid, overworked, and isolated from their support system - the struggle that IMGs face is real, and they need the help, reassurance, and tools to fight burnout amidst the added pressures to succeed that are placed on them by their families.  After completing her fellowship, Dr. Amna found her calling as an integrated wellness and life coach while continuing to be a practicing geriatrician in nursing homes and obtaining the work-life balance and fulfillment that she has always wanted. She now helps others achieve the same, and she has a heart for helping IMGs carve their path in medicine.  She has a big passion for helping others transition and succeed while loving themselves and loving medicine, and you will absolutely want to tune in to this episode and hear us chat about the struggle that IMGs face and how the resources that are available to help them succeed.    “Challenge the narratives that you share with yourself.” Dr. Amna Shabbir   Connect with Dr. Shabbir: Amna Shabbir Instagram |LinkedIn   2 WAYS TO GET INCREDIBLE HELP AT A LOW-COST!!!
