Podcasts about medical student education

Presented by Adrian N. Billings, MD, PhD; Texas Tech UniversitySTFM Conference on Medical Student Education 2025 Scott Fields Lecture | Sunday, February 2 2025In the evolving landscape of American health care, the call to practice and serve in rural communities offers a profound and transformative opportunity for clinicians. This presentation delves into the powerful concept of accompaniment—an approach where physicians not only deliver care but also actively engage with and support their patients and communities. For medical students aspiring to a career marked by meaningful impact, the rural setting offers a unique and inspiring canvas. Rural areas often face significant health care disparities, including limited access to medical resources and specialized care. This context demands a new kind of medical professional — one who is not only skilled in clinical practice but also deeply committed to community engagement and advocacy. The role of accompaniment involves more than just treating illness; it requires a holistic approach to patient care, emphasizing empathy, education, and empowerment.Through accompaniment, physicians forge strong relationships with patients, understanding their unique challenges and needs. This model of care fosters trust and collaboration, leading to more effective and personalized treatment strategies. Additionally, it empowers healthcare professionals to become advocates for systemic changes that address the root causes of health inequities. Embracing a career in rural medicine through the lens of accompaniment offers a pathway to profound professional fulfillment and societal impact. Accompaniment aligns medical practice with the broader goals of social justice and health equity. For aspiring physicians, this approach not only enhances our clinical skills but also instills a deep sense of purpose and connection to the communities we serve. A call to service through accompaniment emerges as a beacon of hope and inspiration, guiding future medical leaders toward a more compassionate and equitable future.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe causes and consequences of rural health disparities.Justify the practice of medicine outside the walls of a health care facility to combat social determinants of health.Value the concept of accompaniment as it relates to a career of service in medicine.Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2025Adrian N.

Presented by Karen Hauer, PhD; University of California, San Francisco STFM Conference on Medical Student Education 2025 Scott Fields Lecture | Saturday, February 1 2025Bias in assessment of medical learners presents a critical, ongoing challenge to the quality of medical education. Experiences of bias may manifest in access to learning opportunities as well as in quantitative ratings and qualitative comments describing performance. This bias interferes with learners' developmental progress through training and has consequences for their future careers and the patients they may serve. Solutions to address bias are needed for individual faculty and leaders designing and implementing education systems. This session will review the literature on the causes and consequences of bias in assessment of learner performance in medical education. Dr Karen Hauer will discuss recommendations to avoid bias in assessment drawn from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Conference on Ensuring Fairness in Medical Education Assessment: Conference Recommendations Report.

It's very highly edited,” said Dr. Liu, “When you put those pieces out there, it can sometimes warp your own sense of self and then your sense of what your peers are looking like every day, which clearly is a highly filtered look and different than normal.”  Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to never miss an episode of Mind Dive.

In our conversation we discuss the powerful place stories hold in her life and the life of many. We talk about 2 sets of 3Rs: Rituals, Reflections, and Relationships in addition to Reflecting, Rejoicing, and Rejuvenating. We move to discussing how stories can lead to a sense of belonging and how she has told the stories in her life. We explore touchstones that set the tone for a group. Her personal pearls for her own wellness include: 1. Have a ritual of solitude with self and gratitude. 2. Be self-aware. 3. Eat when hungry. 4. Find a connection with your patient. 5. Walk. 6.

“It's almost this idea or analogy of having a garden, and maybe when you were in college that garden was pretty robust or maybe it looked like a greenhouse or what have you. I think of this analogy, now that I think about it, because I actually used to run a greenhouse when I was in college. The flip side, though, is that once they become a resident, maybe it's more like an air plant or a cactus. You know, it's just one single thing that they can focus on, they can take care of, they can nurture. And maybe when they become an attending, it can grow again to a whole garden.” -Dr. Roy Phitayakorn MD In today's episode, Jill talks with Endocrine and General Surgeon and Associate Professor of Surgery, Dr. Roy Phitayakorn.

She had the opportunity to work closely with her mentor, Dr. Heidi Gullett for the first 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic to design a contact tracing and cluster investigation program at the Cuyahoga County Board of Health. Together, they have worked to share their experience with others in the state and at other medical schools throughout the nation to help fight the pandemic. Sections from this episode include: What is a ‘system’ and what systems were utilized in your project How important understanding thinking in systems has proven during the Covid-19 pandemic The important role that students played in shaping the contact tracing program With support from Elsevier, and produced in collaboration with the American Medical Association, the HSS series seeks to broaden students’ understanding of the nature of medicine, medical education, and what separates them from other human endeavors. Medicine is not a “pure science,” a kind of “applied biology.” Rather, it is fundamentally an art that uses science. As a discipline, Health Systems Science considers those ideas and concepts which are integral to medicine as a profession but don’t fall under the domain of the clinical or basic sciences. The National Board of Medical Examiners includes HSS topics in its USMLE Content Outline and even offers a dedicated Health Systems Science subject examination. Each episode of this series will include on-the-go learning with practice exam questions explained by expert guests.  This series is sponsored by Panacea Financial: Banking Built for Doctors, by Doctors. ITB and Panacea share a common goal which is to make med school better. Panacea Financial is designed to handle the unique situation of medical students.

Thomas De Fer MD is the Interim Chief of Medicine, the Associate Dean of Medical Student Education and a Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. De Fer is passionate about medical education and has published extensively on topics of curriculum development in undergraduate and graduate medical education. He is the former president of the Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine and a recipient of numerous awards including the CDIM Service Award by AAIM. Dr De Fer completed his Medical school from University Of Missouri-Columbia and Residency in Internal Medicine from Barnes-Jewish Hospital at Washington University. All of us want to become leaders, but is it possible to flex the muscle of leadership during our training period? Today, Dr. Thomas De Fer shares how everyday, all of us, regardless of our seniority are put in positions of leadership, from being a fourth year medical student teaching other students to a senior resident on an inpatient team with interns and medical students. What do we need to practice to become great leaders? Two things. Clarity of requests and stating the conditions of satisfaction. Tune in to learn Leadership 101 with Dr. De Fer. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. A good internist isn't just a great communicator, but rather someone who can mold their communication to suit the patient in their current situation. Being upfront and honest with patients builds strong, therapeutic relationships with them. 2. Leadership isn't just at the macro level. It can also be subtle. There are small leadership opportunities where residents can flex those muscles: practice clarity of requests and stating conditions of satisfaction. 3. The critical ingredient that a mentor is looking for in a mentee is engagement:  mentors don't carry the weight of engagement. That's the mentee's job.

In previous episodes, we often brought up the role our medical schools play in integrating personal and professional development training into medical education. This week, we hear from the Associate Dean for Medical Student Education at the University of Michigan Medical School on how to do just that. In Episode 6 of The MS5 Podcast, Dr. Rajesh Mangrulkar shares his thoughts on what defines the core of medical education, how to revamp and renew a medical curriculum, and how to encourage students to maximize their academic and creative potential.

This piece is a deep dive into regional anaesthesia for Enhancing Recovery. Hear how paravertebral nerve blocks can be used in breast cancer surgery, how does this effect long term outcomes for patients? There is then further discussion regarding regional anaesthesia for Ambulatory Surgery. There is also a long form discussion of electromyographic (EMG) objective monitoring on a neuromuscular blockade. How can this help reduce and discover potential poor outcomes? Further questions from the online audience are addressed such as "can you send knee surgery patients home on the day of surgery, how do you manage pain?" Since this piece was recorded it's worth nothing that these important studies were subsequently finished and published: "Recurrence of breast cancer after regional or general anaesthesia: a randomised controlled trial " https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31645288/ "Influence of perioperative anaesthetic and analgesic interventions on oncological outcomes: a narrative review " https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3125529/ "How Anesthetic, Analgesic and Other Non-Surgical Techniques During Cancer Surgery Might Affect Postoperative Oncologic Outcomes: A Summary of Current State of Evidence" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31035321/ Presented by Desiree Chappell and Monty Mythen with their guest Professor Stuart Grant, MB ChB, FRCA Director, Medical Student Education, Duke University School of medicine.

Today, Dr. Debra Leizman offers her best practices for bringing zest, vigor, and positivity into our roles as physicians. We learn how success and fulfillment work in tandem: When we do right by the patient, fulfillment is the byproduct. And when we make our top priority providing outstanding care to our patients, the hard stuff has a way of working itself out. And finally, we learn that what matters at the end of the day is not how many papers we've written, it's about being surrounded by those we love. So during your next shift, take the time to talk to your peers. Spend a few extra minutes learning your patient's story. See others as human beings, and learn from them. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Find ways to bring zest, vigor, and positivity into your role as a physician. 2. Success and fulfillment go hand in hand. When we do what is right for the patient, fulfillment follows. 3. For mentees: take advantage of the open door policy. For mentors: see the mentee as a human being before you see them as a student.

Physician burnout, depression, and suicide are tearing at the fabric of our health care system, which Dr. Mukta Panda has witnessed firsthand, written about, and sought to address for years. Mukta Panda, MD, MACP, FRCP-London, is a physician, speaker, and facilitator whose work seeks to transform the heart of patient care and medical education. Dr. Panda has lived and practiced medicine in places as varied as India, London, Saudi Arabia, and now East Tennessee, where she serves as the Assistant Dean for Well-Being and Medical Student Education and a Professor of Medicine at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine at Chattanooga. She is also former chair of the Department of Internal Medicine. Her multicultural background strongly informs her work in health care as a clinician and educator where she strives to bridge the gap between evidence-based and empathy-based medicine. "I've learned the importance of embracing my own Indian culture, the faith I carry, and my spiritual roots, which are so embedded in who I am," she says. "My ability to live in the world, accepting differences, has been influenced by being in other cultures." Author of over 60 publications, Dr. Panda focuses on spirituality in medicine, addressing fatigue and stress, educational and curricular development, and promoting the well-being of health care professionals. "Burnout affects not only physicians but all stakeholders, from the janitorial staff and the cafeteria workers to the nurses and students, as well as the families of those who work in health care," she has observed. In a culture that privileges evidence over empathy, technology over touch, and what's measurable over what's meaningful, many of us – no matter our profession – feel more fragmented and isolated than ever. "Evidence has its maximum impact when applied in the context of these other E's that make up the whole of empathy-based medicine: emotions, expectations, ethics, engagement, empowerment, effort, education, experience, error, environment, and equity," she argues. "Sometimes sufficient evidence isn't available, but these other E's provide a viable way forward. You may not always know what to do to cure the patient, but your heartfelt care will go a very long way." In her latest book, Resilient Threads: Weaving Joy and Meaning into Well-Being (Creative Courage Press, 2020), Dr. Panda gives voice to the exhaustion and offers courage for another way. As a physician and medical educator, she has fought to return human touch to healthcare. As a mother, she has committed – and sometimes failed – to balance the personal with the professional. And as an immigrant, she has clung to the wisdom of her family and faith in the face of discrimination and fear. By weaving stories of connecting to her patients, students, and colleagues with her own stories of belonging, she models how we can each thrive by creating community and self-awareness. "Ritual, relationships, and reflection are key threads in how I learned to thrive," Dr. Panda writes in the introduction of her book. So, too, are they key for the thriving of our world. Our well-being depends on integrating these threads into a new social fabric, one that honors the whole of who we are with what we do. The issue of physician burnout is a personal one for Dr. Panda, and she says that in order to find a way forward, we must first accept that there is no magic answer. "It is a convoluted issue. It's like peeling an onion. You will take steps forward and backward, and that is okay. But it starts with the self." The second step involves building community. "Being in community requires courage and the ability to communicate and care deeply about the shared covenant. The word covenant feels sacred, as if there's ownership. I prefer that over mission or goal. It addresses the loneliness, but if we are working together on the same thing, there is unity that builds community." "As we are so aware in the face of COVID-19, physicians who are relatively well (and relatively 'protected') are better able to serve their patients, students, colleagues, profession, and society," Dr. Panda says. "Partnership is needed now more than ever to mitigate and plan and advocate for self-care during this pandemic – and the post-traumatic stress to follow – not only for healthcare professionals but for our entire community at all levels: nurses, nursing assistants, physician assistants, physical therapists, mental health providers, custodians and cafeteria workers, receptionists, administrators, executive team, our families and the community at large." Dr. Panda developed a new Oath to Self-Care and Well-Being that she co-authored with Margaret C. Lo, MD and Kevin E. O'Brien, MD on behalf of the Collaborative for Healing and Renewal in Medicine (CHARM). "In framing this oath to supplement our Hippocratic Oath, we see wellness as a shared responsibility between the individual provider and the system, with the major responsibility lying with the system itself," she explains. Self-care and well-being of health care professionals is particularly relevant during this time as we witness the bravery of those serving on the front lines and the unwavering support of the communities rallying behind them. "In this COVID era, nurses are the ones who have given of themselves selflessly and with a smile," Dr. Panda reflects. "They not only care for the patients and their loved ones, they care for us physicians too. Many many times I have been offered a cup of freshly made coffee, a snack or food." As we lean into the mysteries of this uncertain time, a line from Dr. Panda's new book offers comfort: "It's important to surrender and say to yourself, 'I don't need to have all the answers as long as I can live into the questions and hold the tension for what it is, to be comfortable with not knowing.' For me, there is so much peace in that." Join us in conversation with this gifted and compassionate physician!

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, many residency programs and medical schools have adapted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requirements quickly and with great ingenuity. Join us on the front line of the pandemic, as academic family medicine leaders share stories of adaptability and learner engagement in this new and inspiring podcast series. Conversations will include: • Switching Gears While Educating• Difficult Choices During Difficult Times• Adapting to Change for the Greater Good• The Health System - A Symbiotic RelationshipGuess Bio: I graduated from Meharry Medical College. I completed 1 year of an Internal Medicine Internshiip and then went into General Surgery Program but my true passion was family medicine. I completed a Family Medicine Residency and started private practice in 1990. I entered academic medicine in 1996 when I left private practice to join the faculty of the East Tennessee State – Chattanooga Memorial Hospital Family Medicine Residency. The program closed due to a lack of state funding and I joined the faculty at UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School in Newark as assistant Family Medicine Clerkship Director and assistant director of Medical Student Education. In both of these positions, I worked with to increase the number of community preceptors sites for our students and residents. At UMDNJ, our department received a grant for preceptor education and used it to train our preceptors in effective evaluation and teaching. I later served as an assistant director for Mountainside Family Medicine Residency Program, which is the residency program I graduated from in 1990. During my professional career, I have excelled in patient care, curriculum development, and teaching. I have expertise in Evidence-based Medicine and teaching skills for life-long learning. I have an interest in the use of Social Media in Medicine and hope to expand that work at NJIT as we try to better communicate with our students. I am also a trained in Women's Health with a concentration in Family Planning and trans-vaginal ultrasound.

Dr. Bruce Morgenstern is the Vice Dean of Academic and Clinical Affairs at Roseman University College of Medicine and President for the Alliance for Clinical Education (ACE). His medical history as a board-certified pediatric nephrologist led him on his path to becoming the Clerkship Director for Pediatrics at Mayo, working with The Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP), and he eventually became the President of ACE which collaborates with numerous medical education associations. Preceptors: Dr. Morgenstern believes in medical education and the importance of precepting for healthcare students. Physicians should be encouraged to seek out faculty development training if available to them if they wish to continue to progress in their mentorship roles. However, the most important aspect of any student-teacher relationship is setting clear expectations early on. He also confirms the importance of a basic education model, such as the one-minute preceptor model, in medical education. Though many preceptors may not be aware of the exact model, they often implement a similar structure into their educational environment. Students: Dr. Morgenstern feels students should also express their level of education to preceptors early on. This helps to facilitate material being disseminated in a manner appropriate for each individual’s level of education. Students that lay out their hopes for the rotation or that discuss topics they would like to learn more about are more likely to receive specific training. Those that don’t may fall the wayside. When asking for a Letter of Recommendation (LoR), it is best to ask a preceptor that knows the “unwritten code” of a strong letter. Many physicians may have good intentions, but do not always know what current residency directors are looking for. Also, do not ask “will you write me an” LoR, but instead specify that you are looking for a “strong” LoR. This can make all the difference in the preceptor's interpretation of your desire for that field and the letter. Keep updated with education meetings via the ACE Calendar.

This is an excerpt from 'The Great American Fluid Debate' which was hosted at Duke University Medical Centre's "Controversies in Perioperative Medicine" conference of this year. The debate is framed as "restrictive versus liberal" but, as you'll hear, those terms are questioned by panel members. How do the results of 'The Relief Trial' figure in this debate? Is the pendulum of progress swinging too far - from overly liberal to too restrictive? What can the research and detailed data around these questions tell us?
