About a year ago my daughter and son-in-law announced that they were moving from Plano to Keller. I've been to Keller as a television reporter many years ago, and I have fallen in love with this beautiful town. Today I invited Mayor Armin Mizani of Keller, Texas on the show so he can talk about why this is such a special place to live.

Traditionally, the salon business in the United States  has been a segregated one. And while stylists at salons in the Black community performed braids, twists, weaves, relaxers, and silk presses on a daily basis, most white stylists had little or no knowledge of textured hair. In the past few years this has been changing, with more beauty schools providing and requiring texture education. Textured hair is increasingly visible in the media, more women are choosing natural styles, and more children are being born with mixed heritage. But our industry still has a long way to go. Want to learn about texture but don't know where to start? We've got you covered. Today's guest, Jamal Edmonds, is the owner and creative director of Lamaj in the City, located in Washington D.C. He's a stylist behind the chair and an educator for Mizani and Redken, specializing in textured hair. Jamal has been nominated for NAHA awards in 2018, 2021, and 2022. In this episode Jamal and host Blake Reed Evans talk about how to learn textured hair, and dig into understanding the trauma your client may have experienced around getting their hair styled. Also: doing textured hair on set, and competing in the North American Hair Association (NAHA) Awards. This episode was originally published in December 2021.Follow Jamal Edmonds on Instagram @lamajbackwards.Get texture education online with the Mizani Texpert Academy: thetexpertcollective.com/head-of-the-class.SUMM IT UP is produced by Andrea Muraskin, with editorial support from Tim Fisk. Follow Summit Salon Business Center on Instagram @SummitSalon.Follow host Blake Reed Evans on Instagram @BlakeReedEvans.

Armin has focused on providing an energetic, principled, and idea-driven leadership style to Keller Town Hall. As Councilman, Armin Mizani heard from many taxpayers who felt that their property taxes was pricing them out of their own home. As a result, Armin introduced and fought for the first ever increase to the Keller Homestead Exemption in over 30 years. Because of Armin's efforts, today the exemption provides tax relief to Keller taxpayers by reducing the taxable valuation of their home by 14%. In addition, Armin championed and authored Keller's revision to the Ethics Policy. The revision requires councilmembers, commissioners, and city staff to disclose any conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from participating in any votes. The policy also encourages citizens to participate in the process by providing a mechanism in which they can hold their elected leaders accountable. Armin is an attorney and business owner whose law practice has been recognized by national and statewide organizations. In addition, Armin's law practice instituted a “Teacher of the Month” program where one teacher is recognized each and every month for their positive impact on our kids and community. Armin and his wife Kathy are proud parents of 2 kids, Aiden and Kendall. They practice their Christian faith at Good Shepherd Catholic Community and are proud to call Keller home!

On December 10th and 11th, 2021, at least 59 devastating tornadoes ripped through parts of six states in the South and Midwest. People who work in the salon and spa industries in affected areas have seen their homes and businesses destroyed. The Professional Beauty Association is collecting donations for immediate needs including clothing, food, bills, supplies & tool replacement. You can make a tax-deductible donation at www.probeauty.org/pba-charities/drfTraditionally, the salon business in the United States  has been a segregated one. And while stylists at salons in the Black community performed braids, twists, weaves, relaxers, and silk presses on a daily basis, most white stylists had little or no knowledge of textured hair. In the past few years this has been changing, with more beauty schools providing and requiring texture education. Textured hair is increasingly visible in the media, more women are choosing natural styles, and more children are being born with mixed heritage. But our industry still has a long way to go. Want to learn about texture but don't know where to start? We've got you covered. Today's guest, Jamal Edmonds, is the owner and creative director of Lamaj in the City, located in Washington D.C. He's a stylist behind the chair and an educator for Mizani and Redken, specializing in textured hair. Jamal has been nominated for NAHA awards in 2018, 2021, and 2022. In this episode Jamal and host Blake Reed Evans talk about how to learn textured hair, and dig into understanding the trauma your client may have experienced around getting their hair styled. Also: doing textured hair on set, and competing in the North American Hair Association (NAHA) Awards. Follow Jamal Edmonds on Instagram @lamajbackwards.Get texture education online with the Mizani Texpert Academy: thetexpertcollective.com/head-of-the-class.SUMM IT UP is produced by Andrea Muraskin, with editorial support from Tim Fisk. Follow Summit Salon Business Center on Instagram @SummitSalon.Follow host Blake Reed Evans on Instagram @BlakeReedEvans.

Some may even say, it is important to treat it like a full time job. But have you considered what you should do if you do not secure any interviews? What if you do not Match? It's time to secure an alternative plan. In our Resident Selection Committee Panel webinar, recorded live Sept. 28, 2021, two Program Directors and one Resident Selection Committee Member all voiced their need to see ongoing U.S. clinical experiences during the interview season. The program directors also mentioned that they will highly consider those who they know and have seen in clinical settings, which is echoed by most other PDs. Completing more clinical rotations throughout the interview season will keep your US clinical experience up-to-date, keep your residency application relevant, may even land you an interview and a possible higher ranking on their rank order list, and prepare you for what may come next if you don't match.

How you demonstrate your medical brand, commitment to specialty, and how well you meet the ACGME Core Competencies should be clearly shown throughout your application.

**LISTEN HERE, THEN WATCH THE VIDEO FORM OF THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE.COM/ACMEDICALORG** When it comes to the NRMP Main Match your supporting documents matter. The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) serves as one of these crucial documents in a medical residency candidate's application package. As seen in the 2020 NRMP Program Director Survey, about 76% of Residency Program Directors cite the MSPE as a strong factor in selecting applicants for interviews of an overall average of 4/5 importance rating. Being in the top of 5 key factors, you should understand the difference between a qualified MSPE and a Dean's Letter.

Because of this, what is stated in your LORs is important, and is even more so depending on what type of NRMP Main Match applicant you are (medical student, medical graduate, or international). When LORs hold such weight, waiving your rights to see such documents, means you may potentially be giving up your right to catch any clerical errors (wrong designated specialty), or worse yet, a generic letter. In today's episode, Dr. Mizani and Cody Phan discuss the pros and cons of not waiving your rights to see your LORs, and how "limiting" it is on your application. Have questions?

Looking at the numbers, upwards of about 20,000 U.S. MD Seniors and 7,000 U.S. DO Seniors participate in the annual NRMP Main Match (these numbers reflect the most recent 2021 Main Match Cycle), however, the truth of the matter is not all of these students will match. Although a small percentage, it is still a sizeable ~2,000 students that are now essentially unemployed as a result. Not all of these students have issues with 'red flags' and may have submitted a Rank Order List, but have still found themself in this situation. For these students, now graduates, there is a lack of qualified support in place from their alma mater. The next steps you take are important, as you are in a vulnerable mental state, where you seek mentorship will affect how you proceed from March until September (the next Match Cycle). Tune in to this informative episode as Dr. Mizani and Cody Phan discuss understanding your situation as a setback, not a failure, and share the tools to seek proper advice to continue forward.

Armin Mizani, the mayor of the city of Keller, Texas, has a passion for serving his community. Armin served as a Keller City Councilman from 2014 to 2018, and in 2020 was elected to serve as Mayor. Armin has been recognized as “Best Local Government Official” by Keller voters and readers of the Fort Worth Star Telegram. Armin's work in the community led to an appointment by Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, to serve on the Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority. In that capacity, Armin works with law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Texas to combat the multi-billion dollar enterprise that is auto theft and crime. Armin has focused on providing an energetic, principled, and idea-driven leadership style to Keller Town Hall. As Councilman, Armin Mizani heard from many taxpayers who felt that their property taxes was pricing them out of their own home. As a result, Armin introduced and fought for the first ever increase to the Keller Homestead Exemption in over 30 years. Because of Armin's efforts, today the exemption provides tax relief to Keller taxpayers by reducing the taxable valuation of their home by 14%. In addition, Armin championed and authored Keller's revision to the Ethics Policy. The revision requires councilmembers, commissioners, and city staff to disclose any conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from participating in any votes. The policy also encourages citizens to participate in the process by providing a mechanism in which they can hold their elected leaders accountable. Armin is an attorney and business owner whose law practice has been recognized by national and statewide organizations. In addition, Armin's law practice instituted a “Teacher of the Month” program where one teacher is recognized each and every month for their positive impact on our kids and community. Armin and his wife Kathy are proud parents of 2 kids, Aiden and Kendall. They practice their Christian faith at Good Shepherd Catholic Community and are proud to call Keller home!

In today's episode, ACMedical's Dr. Pedram Mizani and Cody Phan highlight the ideal timeline to begin preparing for an upcoming Main Match Cycle, and 13 steps to stay on track and minimize your chances of being left unmatched. Preparation for the annual Main Match for medical residency should ideally begin 24 months before your planned residency start date, and anyone participating in the Match should be prepared for being 'Partially' or 'Fully Unmatched'. Additionally, it is important to train yourself to adhere to very challenging deadlines, such as those needed to gain residency-relevant U.S. clinical experience, pass US medical licensing exams, have supporting documents such as Letters of Recommendations (LOR) & Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) finalized and reviewed, all prior to certifying and submitting your residency application. And if you do not match during the regular Match cycle (like Dr. Mizani), this episode will guide you on how to use the final opportunity to Match this year through Match Week's Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP), as you prepare for the possibility of participating in next Match cycle.
