This month we are joined by Dr. Karen Meagher, Assistant Professor of Health Justice and Bioethics at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. Recently, Dr. Meagher was the Associate Director of public engagement in the Biomedical Ethics Research Program at the Mayo Clinic. Her research focuses on public health ethics and social implications of advances in microbial and human genetics. She has a PhD in philosophy from Michigan State University. From 2012-2016 she worked as a senior policy and research analyst on the staff of president Barak Obama's Presidential Commission for the study of bioethical issues.Listen in as Dr. Meagher shares her career journey starting with her undergraduate interest in the philosophy of science and social influences of how science gets done. She describes how she was drawn to the growing field of public health ethics, which blossomed in the early 2000s with increasing publications and dedicated journals. Dr. Meagher describes her Virtue Ethics orientation to public health ethics and shares the inside scoop on what it is like to serve on a Presidential Commission.Later in her career, embedded with Mayo clinic biobank, Dr. Meagher describes her experiences with public engagement with community and how bioethicists can be a bridge between basic scientists and the community when grappling with difficult ethical dilemmas like those dealing with broad consent for future research with banked specimens.Finally, we delve into a discussion of how Dr. Meagher's work on antimicrobial resistance led her to engage in concepts of One Health Policy, which recognizes the interdependence of people, animals and the environment. She highlights the importance of breaking down silos between researchers in different sectors and how bioethics can bridge disciplines and create shared moral language, while also centering engagement of communities to help define these problems from different perspectives.

In this episode, we tackle an all-too-familiar topic: misinformation. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen how technology and social media can be used to both spread health information awareness and popularize misinformation. The question remains: in the age of technology, how can we be sure about the validity of the information we are receiving online, and how can we all be vigilant against the spread of misinformation? To help us, we had the wonderful Evan Thornburg join us for today's podcast. Evan is a bioethicist and health equity officer for the City of Pennsylvania's Department of Public Health. In the past, they've also worked in the Philadelphia Mayor's Office as Deputy Director of LGBT. After completing a Master's of Arts in Urban Bioethics at Temple University's Lewis Katz School of Medicine and writing their thesis on the spread of misinformation, Evan took to TikTok, utilizing the platform to share their knowledge about bioethics, comment on current health news, and challenge the online community to be discerning about how they absorb and converse about health information. You can find Evan on TikTok at EVN the (Bio) Ethicist. We loved talking with Evan, and we hope you come out of this episode with some practical tools to help you filter the information you see on social media!

More than six and a half million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's Disease, a debilitating and incurable illness. It robs people of their memory and their thinking skills, and ultimately leads to the inability to perform basic tasks. Using the Accelerated Approval Pathway, the Food and Drug Administration approved a drug called lecanemab, sold as Leqembi, which has slowed the progression of the disease in some patients in clinical trials. Joining Tom to talk about it is Dr. Leah Croll, an assistant professor of neurology at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. A couple of weeks after the news of this new drug appeared, the Alzheimer's Association announced the results of a new study about who gets Alzheimer's, and where those populations live. It turns out that Baltimore and Prince George's County are places with a high incidence of the disease. Joining Tom to discuss this is Dr. Kumar B. Rajan a Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine and the Director of the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging in Chicago. He's also Section Chief of Community and Nutritional Epidemiology. He is the lead author of the study.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

We all use excuses not to commit to an exercise or health plan. But the truth is, that's all they are: excuses. If you find yourself full of excuses not to commit, you're not alone – it's a widespread occurrence. Dr. Mark Novitsky joins me to discuss the top ten reasons we don't commit to a fitness or health plan.   The Top 10 Reasons Why You Haven't Committed to Exercise Time Mistrust Disappointment  Shame for Needing Help Overwhelm Resistance  Always Putting Others First Procrastination Discounting Yourself Money   About Dr. Mark Novitsky Dr. Mark Novitsky is a Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Board Certified Adult Psychiatrist.  Dr. Mark believes that effective work with children involves working closely with parents, schools, and other medical/mental health providers - to achieve a joint goal of optimizing a child's well-being.   His extensive clinical experience includes, but is not limited to: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Mood Disorders Depressive disorder Bipolar disorder Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Childhood trauma/Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder Autism Spectrum Disorder Substance Use Disorders Dr. Mark is an adjunct faculty for Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University's Department of Psychiatry.  He was previously the Corporate Medical Director for one of Philadelphia's largest non-profit Child Mental Health Organizations.  He is a graduate of The Beck Initiative, a joint collaboration between The Aaron T. Beck Center at The University of Pennsylvania and CBH/DBHIDS, for Cognitive Therapy and Research.  For the last several years, he has had the privilege of working at Washington DC's premier psychiatry office, Potomac Psychiatry, as a child and adolescent psychiatrist, adult psychiatrist, and a forensic expert witness providing court testimony in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region.  Potomac Psychiatry has been featured as the Faces of Washington, in The Washingtonian Magazine. Dr. Mark grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs, received his undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University, and attended both medical school and psychiatry residency at Temple University School of Medicine (now Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University). He served as Chief Resident in his third year of residency at Temple.  He completed Child and Adolescent fellowship at Thomas Jefferson University, where he served as Chief Fellow.   During his fellowship, Dr. Mark was awarded a research grant.  He has several publications in peer-reviewed journals and has presented his research at the annual meetings of both the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP).  In 2013, his Adherence in Pediatric Psychopharmacology-A Multi-dimensional Perspective and Approach was a docent selection of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Dr. Mark has taught hundreds of medical students and residents, and most recently was the lead Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist in a non-profit public outreach campaign to Philadelphia schools through Michael's Giving HAND (Micahel P. Donatucci Foundation, Inc ), teaching school administration, teachers, counselors, and parents about how to identify and address Depression, Anxiety, Substance abuse, and Bullying.   When he's not working, Dr. Mark enjoys spending time with his family, walking around Longwood Gardens, checking out live music, and being outdoors with his Labradoodle.   Prioritize Your Fitness The number one excuse we hear is that people don't have time to exercise. But making the time to take on healthy behaviors can actually make you more productive in all other areas of your life.  It really comes down to having well-defined goals, setting your priorities, and sticking to them. I find this especially helpful if you feel you've failed in the past – you simply didn't have these goals as your priorities then, which is okay. I understand that it can feel overwhelming to try to start a fitness routine when you already have so much going on. Letting the overwhelming feeling win is easy, but by setting out your top three priorities daily, you can start getting a grip on it all.   Put Yourself First As women physicians, we're used to putting everyone else before ourselves. This is counterproductive! By putting yourself first, you fill your cup, giving you so much more energy, space, and opportunity to serve the other people and priorities in your life.  One of the other big excuses for fitness is procrastination. We tend to procrastinate on what isn't a priority for us. What if you did make your health and fitness a priority? Imagine what could change. I want you to invest in yourself. I want you to put yourself first. I want you to prioritize your health, wellness, fitness, and happiness. You are so worth it. Do your decisions align with your top priorities? What steps can you make this week to stop using any of these top ten excuses not to exercise? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode  How often we all use time as an excuse not to do something [4:00] What happens when we create the time to take on healthy behaviors [5:15] The importance of a clearly defined goal [8:15] What happens when you change your thought process about failure and priorities [11:30] How to prioritize exercise when you already have so much else going on [15:45] Why you are least productive when you're overwhelmed [16:45] What transformation happens when you put yourself first [23:00] Why we procrastinate on our health and fitness goals [24:45] Why you need to invest in yourself and your health [28:45]   Quotes “There are 24 hours in a day, and that's never going to change. It's not actually about the time, it's about how you use the time and what you choose to use your time on. It all comes down to priorities.” [3:26]  “We set ourselves up for disappointment. We set ourselves up for failure if we don't go ahead and define what it is that we want, and we agree to trust the process. That's why it's important that we know what we're getting ourselves into. Even if we get ourselves into something that's not comfortable, we can trust ourselves to be successful because we know what we're trying to achieve.” [9:16] “It starts with us. We have to agree that we are worth it, and there is no more putting a hold on ourselves.” [17:47] “It is so easy to try and put others first, but you will show up as your best self if you are putting yourself first. You are the most important person in the room.” [23:06] “The investment that you make in yourself and your health is priceless.” [28:43]   Resources Mentioned Transform Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 128: Rethinking Weight Loss Episode 129: So Much More Than Weight Loss Part 1 Episode 130: So Much More Than Weight Loss Part 2

Discover the unique Temple Katz SOM program [Show Summary] The Temple Katz School of Medicine distinguishes itself with two campuses, a Narrative Medicine Program, and deep ties to the local community. In this interview, Jacob Ufberg, Associate Dean of Admissions, shares everything applicants need to know to get accepted to Temple Katz.  Interview with Temple Katz School of Medicine Admissions Dean, Dr. Jacob W. Ufberg [Show Notes] Welcome to the 476th episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Thanks for tuning in.  The medical school application process is complex. Think of it like a structure that you're building with many elements and floors. Like any building, it requires a strong foundation. Accepted's free four-part video course, which takes less than half an hour to complete, lays out the foundation of an outstanding medical school application. Watch it today at medschoolessentials.com. Our special guest today is Dr. Jacob Ufberg, Associate Dean for Admissions at Temple University's Lewis Katz School of Medicine and Director of the Emergency Medicine Residency Program. He completed his bachelor's degree at the University of Pennsylvania, then he earned his MD at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine and did his residency in Emergency Medicine at The Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He returned to Temple University's Katz School of Medicine after completing his residency and has since become Associate Dean of Admissions, Interim Assistant Dean of Career Advising, a Professor of Emergency Medicine, and an Emergency Medicine Residency Program Director. I'd say he's a little bit busy.  Can you give us an overview of Temple Katz's approach to medical education, focusing on its more distinctive aspects? [1:58] At Temple, we teach our clinical medicine and basic science interwoven together with our clinical faculty and basic science faculty integrated together into our pre-clerkship curriculum over the first year and three quarters. That can provide some clinical perspective for the basic science that the students are learning. We do a good deal of small group and case-based learning, and we have a strong focus on integrating the learning of safety, quality, social and structural determinants of health, disparities in health, and medical ethics. We have a wonderful simulation center here. We use simulation and standardized patients quite a bit in the pre-clerkship years for clinical correlation. We have a curriculum that allows for a lot of early and frequent clinical experience. We have two campuses, one here in North Philadelphia and one in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at the St. Luke's University Health System. They both provide really wonderful clinical learning opportunities for the students. One of the great things is that the students have an opportunity to cross over from one campus to the other for some of their clinical learning opportunities over the years. Is there a different focus between the two different campuses? [3:37] I wouldn't say that there's a different focus. We are very well-aligned in how we teach, what we teach, and the experiences that the students have. There is a size difference. The campus here in North Philadelphia has 180 students per year and there are 40 students per year at the St. Luke's campus. Each offers unique benefits. The students up here love the urban setting. The students down on the St. Luke's campus love living at a slightly more relaxed space. They have a smaller learning group that provides the opportunity to really mesh together, grow together over the years. Can you describe the Narrative Medicine Program? Is that for all students or is it an elective? [5:36] Any student has an opportunity to participate in the Narrative Medicine Program. Narrative medicine is kind of a newer thing, and it really lives at the intersection of science and medicine and the humanities. It's about storytelling. It's listening to patients and their families,

In this episode we discuss robotic simple prostatectomy for men with urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate (BPH).  In prior episodes, we have discussed several treatment options for BPH including medications and a variety of procedures.  But what if the medications don't work and the prostate is just too big to qualify for minimally invasive surgical procedures?  Fortunately, robotic simple prostatectomy has emerged as a potential option for men in this situation.  But, how does this procedure work?  What are the risks?  How long is the recovery?  And how successful is it in relieving urinary symptoms of BPH for the long haul.  To help us answer these questions, we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Daniel Eun.  Dr. Eun is a professor of urology and director of the Robotic Urologic Surgery Clinical Fellowship Program at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University.  He is also the chief of robotic surgery and the director of minimally invasive robotic urologic oncology and reconstructive surgery at Temple University Hospital.  Aside from performing over 1000 robotic surgical procedures, Dr Eun has also extensively published peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and video teaching guides and travels nationally and internationally as an invited lecturer to present research and to train robotic surgeons.

There is such a thing as reverse mentorship. And today, Dr. Thomas Fekete teaches us how we can use what we don't want to guide us toward what we do. While we are in pursuit of top mentors to help guide us towards excellence and success, Dr. Fekete reminds us to pay attention to those we might not want to learn from, too. If we come across someone we feel is a bad role model or teacher, we should observe that. Take notes, study it, and self-reflect on why we don't want to follow that particular path. One day we may find ourselves in the position of being mentors and educators—and we can prevent mistakes and shortcomings by observing mentorship from all angles. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. It's important to forgive yourself. Don't aim for perfection, aim to find yourself. 2. Pay attention to ‘reverse mentorship'. Pay attention to who or what you don't like, and learn from that to see what you want to avoid. 3. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, being wrong is a gift. We learn more from mistakes than we do from being right all the time.
