In this episode, Dr. Arlen Meyers, Professor Emeritus of Otolaryngology, Dentistry, and Engineering at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Colorado School of Public Health, and President and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, discusses how SOPE helps clinicians transform ideas into innovations that reach patients. He explains why most healthcare professionals lack formal entrepreneurship training and how that gap leaves them unsure of what to do with their ideas. He explores the rising challenges of burnout and moral injury in medicine, and how fear, ego, and identity keep many clinicians from pursuing new paths. He also shares how SOPE uses “radical candor,” idea euthanasia, and practical entrepreneurial frameworks to help innovators pivot, persevere, or let go.

Episode 3383: Leif explores the emotional rollercoaster that often follows early retirement, comparing its initial thrill to a honeymoon that inevitably fades. As routines set in and novelty wears off, the real challenge emerges: facing boredom, fear, and the search for lasting fulfillment. Learn how pivoting from scarcity to abundance thinking can help transform this emotional shift into a powerful catalyst for personal growth. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.physicianonfire.com/honeymoon-phase-of-retirement/ Quotes to ponder: "Fear is likely a result of wondering if you have enough. Not enough money. Maybe enough joy? Happiness? Potential fulfillment?" "Choose the abundance mindset rather than the scarcity one, and you might find that you need fewer spreadsheets to keep track of your joy." "Keep digging into what brought you moments of flow in earlier phases of life, keep bringing those back." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(00:00) - Dream to Physician(09:36) - Navigating Premed at UF(17:46) - Navigating Mentorship in Premed Culture(28:58) - Navigating Medical School Challenges(38:00) - Embracing Support in Medical SchoolWhen Kelviyana was just 15, their world changed overnight as they became the primary caretaker for their mother, newly diagnosed with breast cancer. This poignant experience ignited Kelviyana's passion for medicine, providing a firsthand look at the compassionate care of healthcare professionals. That transformative moment set the stage for a lifelong mission to be a source of hope and support, leaving a lasting impression on their journey from aspiring physician to dedicated med student.As Kelviyana navigated the bustling corridors of the University of Florida, they faced the daunting reality of being a minority in a vast institution. Discover how they crafted a robust support system through family, friends, and the Health and Advocacy Promotion Initiative (HAPI), a club they founded to champion health education and self-advocacy. Kelviyana's narrative underscores the importance of aligning academic pursuits with personal passions, not just to build a resume but to foster meaningful change.Premed culture often pushes students into a boxed checklist approach, but Kelviyana emphasizes the power of authenticity and self-belief. Whether it's exploring unconventional interests or overcoming imposter syndrome, they remind us that success in medical school applications comes from embracing one's unique qualities. Listen as Kelviyana shares the vital lesson that grades do not solely define potential, urging future doctors to persevere, seek support, and trust in their ability to achieve their dreams, even amidst setbacks.

This week, we look at new studies on high-dose influenza vaccines for older adults, antiplatelet therapy after coronary surgery, and HER2-targeted immunotherapy for advanced bladder cancer. We review complex regional pain syndrome and a pediatric case of fever and rash. We also explore FDA innovation and safety, aspirin's role in metastasis prevention, the meaning of “the good doctor,” smallpox in the Revolution, and how AI may reshape medical science.

In this episode, host David Mandell welcomes Dr. Paul Lynch, a double board-certified anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, entrepreneur, and business leader. Dr. Lynch shares his remarkable journey from aspiring psychiatrist to pain medicine innovator—a shift inspired by his mother-in-law's battle with cancer and the discovery of interventional pain treatments that could transform patients' lives. His early experiences at the Mayo Clinic shaped his belief in comprehensive, integrated care—a philosophy that became the foundation for his first practice, Arizona Pain, which quickly became one of the nation's leading pain management centers. Dr. Lynch details how entrepreneurial thinking, coupled with strategic use of digital tools, drove his success. His story of launching a medical website during fellowship—eventually ranking number one on Google before opening his doors—illustrates how physicians can use education-based marketing to reach patients and grow responsibly. As his career evolved, Dr. Lynch founded U.S. Pain Care, intentionally designed to avoid the mistakes of his first venture. Through introspection and what he calls his "Manifesto of 53 Errors," he now builds companies around lessons learned, focusing on empowering other physicians with ownership, autonomy, and ethical profitability. The discussion also delves into real estate, private equity, and long-term business strategy in medicine. Dr. Lynch explains how owning medical real estate can be one of the most impactful and ethical ways for physicians to build wealth—separate from clinical care—highlighting the benefits of property ownership, long-term leasing, and physician-owned REITs. He closes with advice to doctors: never make fortunes "on the backs of patients." Instead, focus on providing excellent care while building wealth through smart business decisions, integrity, and surrounding yourself with expert advisors in law, finance, and real estate.

Dr. Schneider stresses asking questions from their perspective, building psychological safety, and inviting participation to open doors for change, not pushing through them. He warns against "hammer" approaches like HR escalation unless minimum competencies fail, and shares the "challenge plus support" quadrant: challenge without support leads to retreat; support without challenge stalls growth. Drawing from his roles as Assistant Dean for Faculty Coaching and private practice coach, he emphasizes leading with belief in people, connecting to their original "calling" in medicine, and accepting that not everyone will walk through the door. If you're in leadership facing resistance. This episode offers nuanced, practical strategies to foster trust, inspire evolution, and avoid burnout for you and your team.Three Actionable Takeaways:Start with Their Perspective, Not Yours: When addressing resistance, ask questions that uncover what they need, not what you think they need. Avoid starting from remediation or "hammer" tactics; build psychological safety by showing you believe in them, inviting participation to make change feel meaningful and voluntary.Balance Challenge and Support for Growth: Use the quadrants: Challenge without support causes retreat; support without challenge leads to stagnation. As a leader, consciously provide both, holding accountable while being "with them" to open doors for self-reflection and behavior shifts, even if they don't always step through.Reconnect to Their Original Calling: Remind resistant colleagues of why they chose medicine, the inspiration that's often buried under policies and metrics. Frame changes as ways to rediscover that purpose, making evolution feel like a personal win, not an imposed fix; not everyone changes, but this invites possibility.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest: Dr. John Schneider is the Division Chief of Rhinology and Anterior Skull Base Surgery and Associate Professor at Washington University in St. Louis.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Today, we're joined by Mary Remón, a licensed counselor and experienced coach who has spent over two decades supporting healthcare professionals. Mary brings a wealth of insight from her work managing Employee Assistance Programs and coaching physicians through the unique challenges of burnout, compassion fatigue, and career sustainability. In this conversation, Mary and Dr. Sarah Smith dive deep into the realities of working in healthcare, the stigma around seeking help, and practical strategies for building resilience and well-being. Whether you're a clinician, a leader, or simply interested in the human side of medicine, this episode is packed with wisdom and actionable advice. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Confidential Support Is Available for Healthcare Professionals: Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) offer confidential counseling and support for physicians and clinicians. Most concerns about privacy and stigma are unfounded—these services are designed to protect employees and are not part of personnel files or medical records, except in rare safety-related cases. Burnout and Compassion Fatigue Are Common—But Not Personal Failures: Many physicians experience burnout, imposter syndrome, and compassion fatigue due to the demanding nature of their work. These are normal reactions to challenging environments, not signs of weakness or failure. Recognizing and talking about these issues is the first step toward healing. Small, Positive Changes and Support Networks Make a Big Difference: Sustainable well-being comes from making small, manageable changes—like setting boundaries, celebrating small wins, and seeking support from peers or coaches. Sharing struggles and accepting help can break the cycle of isolation and lead to meaningful improvements in mental health and job satisfaction. Meet Mary Remón: Mary Remón is a licensed counselor, certified coach, and Certified Employee Assistance Professional with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. In her professional role, she has coached physicians and leaders at hundreds of healthcare institutions across North America, including many leading academic medical centers. Mary previously managed employee assistance programs on-site at two academic medical centers, supporting physicians, leaders and frontline staff. She continues to support physicians and leaders through her private practice. Connect with Mary Remón:

In this episode of AiArthritis Voices 360, Health Education Manager Leila P. L. Valete sits down with Neil Betteridge of the Global Remission Coalition to explore what remission truly means and why it is becoming a realistic goal for many. Together they unpack how remission differs from basic disease control and why that distinction is so important for daily life. They also talk through the emotional and practical impact of reaching remission, the role of early action, and the barriers that still prevent many patients from accessing timely care. The conversation highlights what sustainable remission looks like in the real world and how better education, support, and policy attention can help more people get there. Whether you are newly diagnosed or years into your patient journey, this episode offers a grounded and hopeful look at the road to remission and the steps that can make a life-changing difference.   Episode Highlights: What remission really means and how it differs from basic disease control Why remission improves quality of life, mental health, and daily function Key factors that help patients reach remission including early diagnosis and timely treatment Common barriers patients face like limited access to specialists, treatment delays, and lack of information What it takes to sustain remission through monitoring, adherence, and patient support   Links & Resources Global Remissions resources: www.globalremission.org AiArthritis remission information: https://www.aiarthritis.org/remission Have questions about this episode or topics you want to hear us bring to the table?

Physician coach Michelle Chestovich MD shares a past episode on how gratitude is beneficial in so many ways.

Most practices think they need more—more patients, more visits, more volume. But what if the real revenue opportunity isn't volume at all… it's coding?In this episode, Dr. Heather sits down with Dr. Anne Hirsch, an internal medicine physician turned coding expert and physician coach, to explore why most practices are coding far below what their clinical work justifies—often doing a level 5 visit, documenting a level 4, and billing a level 3.You'll learn:• Why “fear-based coding” is silently draining your revenue• The most common undercoding patterns physicians don't realize they're doing• How better documentation reduces burnout and increases clinician confidence • Real examples of everyday visits that should nearly always be level 4s • How to implement quarterly audits, templates, and MDM habits that actually stick • Why physician-to-physician coding education creates better adoption and outcomes • How improved coding can add $30,000–$35,000+ per physician per year—without adding a single new patientIf your practice hasn't had a coding audit in the last 6–12 months, this episode is your wake-up call.Want a free coding evaluation for your practice?

In this episode, Guy talked with Dr. Nisha Manek. She challenges conventional understandings of consciousness and delves into the intersection of science and spirituality. Emphasizing that consciousness is not a product of the brain, Nisha discussed the latent capacities of human beings and the need to elevate our levels of conscious awareness. Through her experiences as a medical doctor and her studies with physicist William Tiller, she explored the potential of intention to affect physical reality, the limitations of modern medicine, and the importance of inner work. Nisha also shared practical advice on meditation and the transformative power of silence. About Dr. Nisha: Nisha Manek is an internally recognized leader in the field of integrative medicine. Nisha's humble background from Kenya propelled her to transcend limitations: gender, ethnicity, and financial status. From Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where she graduated Summa cum laude, to the University of Glasgow School of Medicine in Scotland, Nisha's uncommon tenacity has driven her to ask difficult questions and pursue answers beyond traditional medical paradigms.  Nisha began her career in rheumatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Recognized as Teacher of the Year in the School of Medicine, she brings storytelling as a core skill to bedside medical teaching and on the plenary stage.  But she didn't stop there. Nisha partnered with one of the world's most innovative physicists, Emeritus Professor William A. Tiller of Stanford University, and pushed the boundaries of what is possible in medicine. She is the preeminent doctor of information medicine, which intersects consciousness, biofield science, and rheumatology to improve human health.  She has authored a one-of-a-kind book, Bridging Science and Spirit, which closes the gap between two seemingly separate areas of knowledge. She is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom.

Clean energy advocates held a press conference ahead of the Building Code Council meeting on December 5th to uplift the affordability benefits of the All-Electric Buildings Law (AEBL). Last summer, the Building Code Council voted to update NYS codes to adopt the strongest all-electric new building code in the nation, which would have gone into effect at the start of the new year. Earlier this month, the state pivoted away from implementing AEBL, a law proposed and championed by Governor Hochul, and instead, entered into a voluntary injunction to pause the implementation of the cost saving code and law.. The Council canceled the public comment section of the meeting after more than fifty advocates signed up to speak. We hear from Michael Hernandez, New York Policy Director, Rewiring America; Daniel Morrissey, Director of Sustainability, TAP Inc., a community design center for the Capitol region ; Max Micallef, Advocacy Manager of Clean Air Initiatives, American Lung Association; Jed Prickett, Clean Energy Analyst at Alliance for Clean Energy New York; and, Kathy Nolan, President, Physicians for Social Responsibility

Her story is one of passion and perseverance, shaped by influential mentors and a deep love for science and biology. We explore how her early exposure to healthcare set her on a path marked by determination, from shadowing opportunities in high school to embracing the rigors of college science courses. Julia's journey is a testament to the profound impact of nurturing mentors and the power of early influences in shaping a lifelong commitment to the medical field.For those considering the premed track, the journey can be transformative, as experienced by a student who transitioned from Gonzaga University to the University of Pennsylvania. Initially drawn to Gonzaga for its small class sizes, they discovered a passion for neuroscience that led them to seek a university with more robust resources. At Penn, the pre-health office and a vibrant community of peers provided essential support, including MCAT preparation and research opportunities at CHOP. This narrative highlights the importance of aligning educational environments with personal aspirations and the value of a supportive academic community.The road to medicine is often fraught with challenges, notably the MCAT, which can test even the most dedicated students. Our candid discussion on the arduous journey of MCAT preparation reveals that struggles are common, but perseverance and strategic changes in study approaches can lead to success. For those pursuing an MD/PhD, like our guest, taking gap years to gain research experience can prove invaluable. Whether it's choosing the right medical school or overcoming skepticism from others, the journey demands resilience and alignment with one's passions. As we reflect on these stories, we hope to offer encouragement and guidance for future medical professionals navigating their unique paths.

One week ago Tuesday, a confrontation led to St. Paul police using chemical irritants and projectiles on a crowd. Hundreds of people gathered to protest and document the arrest of two people by federal immigration agents. The police department says it is reviewing officers' response. The incident came just days after a similar confrontation with federal agents in another part of the city. They, too, used chemical irritants and projectiles. In cities across the country, federal immigration actions have resulted in frequent clashes between law enforcement and community members who are organizing to respond. More could be on the horizon after reports came out Tuesday that federal agents are expected to target hundreds of Somali immigrants in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis and St. Paul leaders said in a press conference that local law enforcement will not assist the operation but will respond to public safety threats. To understand more about the health impacts of what are called less lethal methods of crowd control, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with Dr. Rohini Haar. She is an emergency physician, a medical advisor for the group Physicians for Human Rights and a lecturer in the University of California-Berkeley law school.

Send us a textIn a sector where women make up the majority of the workforce, why are women still under-represented in the seats of power in medical groups?That's the question we're digging into today. Because while it's no secret that healthcare has long depended on the contributions of women—as physicians, nurses, administrators, and operational leaders—the top roles still tend to skew male. And when you take a close look at medical groups, especially larger ones, the imbalance becomes even clearer.But this isn't just a fairness issue. This is a strategic issue. Promoting more women into leadership roles is one of the smartest things a medical group can do. It strengthens decision-making, improves communication, builds healthier teams, and creates a culture of resilience. Today, we'll explore why.We're going to cover a lot of ground: the traditional gender imbalance, the advantages of gender-diverse leadership, how men and women often lead differently, how those styles complement each other, why compensation and negotiation matter, and how remote work might help level the playing field. We'll also touch on what the future could look like if medical groups commit to equity—not just in theory, but in practice.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this podcast episode #150 we shine a light on the real experiences of early-career medical professionals and listening to the voices of junior doctors. I'm your host, Dr. Sarah Smith, and today we're joined by Victoria Lister—researcher, workplace coach, and passionate advocate for change in healthcare. Diving into the hidden struggles junior doctors face: the culture of silence, the impact of discrimination and burnout, and the critical importance of psychological safety at work. Victoria shares her research and personal insights on why so many doctors feel unable to speak up, and what leaders and colleagues can do to create safer, more supportive environments. Whether you're a medical professional, a student, or simply interested in the future of healthcare, this conversation is packed with eye-opening stories and practical advice. Let's get started! Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: The Culture of Silence in Medicine: Junior doctors often feel unable to speak up about their working conditions due to fear of retaliation, career setbacks, and entrenched hierarchies. This silence can have serious consequences for both staff wellbeing and patient safety. Psychological Safety is Essential: Creating environments where junior doctors feel safe to voice concerns is crucial. Leadership that listens, acts, and genuinely supports staff can transform toxic workplaces into supportive, high-performing teams. Discrimination and Burnout are Widespread: Issues like bullying, harassment, and discrimination—based on gender, race, or background—are still prevalent in medical training. Addressing these challenges requires systemic change, open conversations, and collective action to ensure a healthier future for all healthcare professionals. Meet Victoria Lister: Victoria Lister is a researcher in the Business School at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia. Her PhD research investigates junior doctors' working conditions silences and how the medical profession acts as a barrier to voice. To support junior doctors, Victoria trained as a workplace coach and is currently researching and delivering a ‘coaching for communication' program for emergency medicine clinicians. She also works on other research projects in the medical context; has consulted on a healthcare workforce wellbeing initiative and a cultural change program designed to address bullying, harassment and discrimination in medicine; and has published on these themes.
