About Rachel Wellner Dr. Rachel Wellner is the author of the Doctoroo series of children's books. She is a Board-Certified general surgeon, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and Society of Surgical Oncology-trained breast oncology surgeon. In addition to her MD and surgical training, Dr. Wellner earned a Masters in Public Health from Columbia University, reflecting her interest in global health.

Prior to that, she was an Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Montefiore-Einstein Center for Care. When she was in medical school, she did a rotation in Pediatrics. It was always a challenge to find a way to talk to these very young patients about medical topics. She loves kids and began to dream up stories to teach them about their own conditions and how to stay healthy. Those stories became the Doctoroo series. The main character, Doctoroo, introduces kids to exciting challenges in basic health as she explores the world vanquishing health problems. It is my hope that the characters will stimulate young minds by introducing them to a positive, professional figure who embodies the spirit of cultural competence, creativity, and adventure.

Rethinking The Future Of Dementia Care Scientists estimate that the number of people living with dementia will triple within the next 30 years, but healthcare systems, policies, and public health measures in the US aren't prepared to accommodate this growing population. This week, we're digging into dementia care, and taking listener calls live. Alzheimer's is the leading cause of dementia. Ira talks with Dr. Suman Jayadev, a neurogeneticist at the University of Washington School of Medicine, about the biology of Alzheimer's, and where we stand with treatments. Then, the conversation turns to the future of dementia care: What are we doing right? What needs to change? And how can we rethink the future of dementia care? Ira speaks with Dr. Tia Powell, the director of the Montefiore-Einstein Center for Bioethics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the author of the book Dementia Reimagined, as well as Dr. Nathaniel Chin, a geriatrician and assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin.

Michelle Dunn and Larry Harris make an unlikely team. Dunn is an autism researcher and Harris was an offensive lineman for the Houston Oilers – and is now an opera singer. They met at a church choir in New York. Between sessions at the church they got to talking about Dunn’s work at the Montefiore-Einstein Center for Autism and Communication Disorders. She works with patients who are bright and high-functioning, but often struggle to speak and communicate in an effective tone and cadence. “They speak in a very disfluent way or their voice sounds really unusual and people shut them down right away,” she said. Michelle Dunn and Larry Harris developed a new technique to help people with autism communicate. (Meghan Cunnane ) When Larry Harris heard about Dunn’s struggle with her patients’ speech, he was intrigued, and offered to help – using his opera training and his athlete’s background. Together they created lesson plans for the patients that incorporated training vocal cords and breath, which forces a person to stop and organize their thoughts. “My brain just kicks into this place where I want to help them,” Harris said. “It’s exciting.” Dunn had been working for many years with a patient named Devon* who was prone to repeating himself or fixating on a topic while speaking. But she and Harris started to focus on the new technique, and after just five months, they noticed great improvement in Devon’s speech. The quickest improvement Dunn had ever seen. “I’ve been learning to take calming breaths and breathe pause,” Devon said. “I come across to people more normally.” It’s been two years now since Dunn and Harris started their new technique, which they’ve chronicled in a guide called The Music of Speech. Autism manifests in people very differently, so Dunn and Harris’s approach may not work for everyone on the autism spectrum. But they’ve worked successfully with ten patients so far. Dunn and Harris found a new way to work with people on the autism spectrum. (Meghan Cunnane ) Dunn says their work is not just about training people to speak a certain way to fit in, it’s about helping them feel comfortable enough to live their lives in society at large. So instead of getting shut down in the first conversation, Devon and others with autism can have a second, third or fourth conversation where they can maybe let go. “It makes people care about me more, it makes people value what I have to say more,” Devon said. *Devon’s name was changed to protect his privacy.
