Physicians earning $400K are living paycheck to paycheck—and an 18th-century psychology trap is why.  Roughly 30% of doctors over 60 don't have $1M in net worth, even counting their home. Justin Harvey and Dr. Jimmy Turner unpack the behavioral-finance forces—the Diderot Effect, lifestyle creep, and leverage—that quietly erode physician wealth, and the simple framework that lets you spend guilt-free while still building real options.Resources: Disability Insurance: Every physician needs Disability Insurance from MMM Disability Insurance.

Muscle loss and sarcopenia have been synonymous with aging in previous generations. Muscle loss impacts osteoporosis, balance, stability, independence, and hormone balance.  In this episode we'll talk about the 3 M's and how to bank muscle looking forward to a time off your fee as well as how to get it back if you have muscle loss and sarcopenia.  My Guest: Dr. Chris Meletis is an internationally recognized educator, author, lecturer, and functional medicine practitioner with more than 33 years of clinical experience. He has authored 18 books and over 200 scientific articles, contributing extensively to the fields of naturopathic and integrative medicine.  Formerly the Dean of Naturopathic Medicine and Chief Medical Officer at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, he was honored as Physician of the Year by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Passionate about accessible healthcare, he helped establish 16 free natural medicine clinics and continues to focus on the GI microbiome, mitochondrial health, nutritional biochemistry, and botanical medicine. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What trends have you seen in aging, and why does muscle become such a critical issue for women in midlife and beyond? Are physicians beginning to use muscle-related assessments as vital signs, and should strength be monitored more routinely as we age? What does grip strength actually measure, and why is it such a powerful indicator of overall strength and future health? What happens when you need a bunion surgery, joint replacement, or another procedure that temporarily limits activity? Will you lose muscle, and how can you prepare for it? If you're told to lose weight before a knee or hip replacement, how do you protect muscle mass while improving your health outcomes? Are we eating enough protein, and is our digestion allowing us to actually absorb and utilize it as we age? How can muscle-support strategies help during periods of bed rest, illness, pain, long COVID, or other situations that increase the risk of sarcopenia? What should active women do when they're already exercising but still struggle with maintaining muscle, energy, or lean body mass? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

It's the stage where the body can no longer produce enough insulin on its own to manage blood sugars you need to start insulin. This approval is for kids ages 8-17 within 8 weeks of a stage 3 T1D diagnosis. It comes after the PROTECT trial and it's the first approval of a disease-modifying therapy for stage 3 T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-celebrates-approval-of-tzield-for-use-in-stage-3-type-1-diabetes-in-the-us-302799532.html XX Encouraging results from a small study of islet cell transplantation in people with type 1 where now all 12 participants in the trial are currently living without external insulin after receiving transplanted insulin-producing islet cells.   The study, led by researchers at the University of Chicago, tested an experimental immune therapy called tegoprubart Te-GO-Proo-Bart. The drug is designed to prevent the body from rejecting transplanted cells while avoiding some of the side effects associated with standard anti-rejection medications. You've probably heard about this as the Eledon study – many of the participants have been very active on social media. It was presented at ADA. transplants.https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tegoprubart-islet-transplant-all-participants-off-external-insulin/ XX New data suggest that acmopatide (ack-MOW-puh-tyd) (CT-868), an experimental once-daily dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, may help people with type 1 diabetes improve blood sugar control, lose weight, and reduce insulin use. Across all doses, participants lost up to 7% of their body weight and reduced insulin use by as much as 15%. The study lasted just 16 weeks, so researchers say longer-term data will be needed to determine whether the benefits can be maintained and whether lower insulin requirements can be achieved without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. XX A new combination therapy that pairs an amylin analog with semaglutide improved both blood sugar levels and weight loss in several groups of people with type 2 diabetes. The once-weekly injectable, known as CagriSema (KAG-ruh-SEM-uh), was evaluated in three Phase 3 REIMAGINE studies. In people early in the course of type 2 diabetes, researchers reported A1C reductions of up to 1.8 percentage points and significant weight loss compared to placebo after 40 weeks of treatment. Investigators also noted improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, including blood pressure. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/ada/121658 XX Stelo for kids is now FDA cleared.. the over the counter Glucose Biosensor System is now approved for children as young as 2 years old who do not use insulin. The FDA identified pediatric prediabetes as a growing public health concern motivating the expanded indication, noting OTC CGMs can help younger users and their caregivers build glycemic awareness, track patterns in response to me https://www.hcplive.com/view/fda-clears-first-otc-glucose-monitor-for-children XX Insulet presented new data from its STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 studies showing improved glucose control with its next-generation Omnipod 6. That's , the company's upcoming hybrid closed-loop system for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the Omnipod 6 and Insulet's current Omnipod 5 patch pumps is that the new system has a lower glucose target of 100 mg/dL and better Bluetooth connectivity Insulet also shared progress on a fully closed-loop system designed specifically for type 2 diabetes. It  does not require carb-counting or insulin bolusing ahead of meals. Physicians also don't need to program the starting settings.   XX Abbott shared new research highlighting challenges in identifying and managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The studies coincide with the company's development of Libre Duo, a dual glucose-ketone sensor that continuously tracks both measurements. Abbott reported that DKA can be difficult to recognize when patients first arrive at the hospital, based on data from more than 100,000 people. The company has submitted the dual sensor to the FDA and recently received CE Mark approval in Europe. More news from ADA including info from Dexcom, Sequel, Sensonics and the world loses a tireless T1D advocate.. that's all to come right after this. --   Back to the news.. XX   Dexcom announced its acquisition of Nutrisense, a company that combines continuous glucose monitoring with nutrition coaching and behavioral support. At ADA, the company also presented results from the CONNECT study showing significant A1C reductions and improved glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes not using insulin. The findings add to growing evidence supporting CGM use beyond intensive insulin therapy. We did an episode with CEO Jake Leach at ADA about these announcements as well as updates on G8, their hospital product and much more. XX Sequel Med Tech reported positive clinical results evaluating its twiist automated insulin delivery system in people with type 2 diabetes. The study showed improvements in A1C and time in range over 13 weeks XX Senseonics presented new real-world data supporting the performance of its Eversense 365 implantable CGM. The analysis included more than 12,000 sensors and demonstrated sustained accuracy and effectiveness in both open-loop and automated insulin delivery settings. Researchers also evaluated Eversense use with Sequel Med Tech's twiist system. The findings support broader use of long-term implantable CGM technology.   -- MiniMed used ADA 2026 to spotlight two recently cleared diabetes management systems. The MiniMed Flex pump offers a smaller, smartphone-controlled insulin pump option, while MiniMed Go combines the InPen smart insulin pen with Abbott's Instinct sensor. The products received FDA clearance earlier this year. XX Tandem Diabetes Care highlighted data supporting the use of its Control-IQ automated insulin delivery technology during pregnancy. Results from the CIRCUIT trial showed users spent approximately three additional hours per day in the recommended pregnancy glucose range compared with standard therapy. The findings helped support recent regulatory approvals for pregnancy use in both Europe and the United States. Tandem also expanded indications for adults with type 2 diabetes. XX Beta Bionics presented real-world data from the first three years of iLet Bionic Pancreas use. The company reported a 25% improvement in time in range among users, along with positive feedback from clinicians about simplified diabetes management. The iLet system requires only a user's weight to begin therapy and eliminates carbohydrate counting. Beta Bionics also highlighted growing access to near-real-time outcomes through its public data dashboard. XX MannKind presented new findings supporting its Afrezza inhaled insulin at ADA 2026. A post-hoc analysis of the INHALE-1 study found that pediatric users reported greater treatment satisfaction compared with those using rapid-acting injected insulin. The results come shortly after FDA approval expanded Afrezza's indication to include children. We did a bonus episode with one of the lead investigators of the study that lead to that approval. XX Adaptyx presented early clinical data supporting a wearable sensor that continuously measures cortisol levels. The device successfully tracked cortisol changes during both controlled testing and overnight monitoring in first-in-human studies. Company leaders say cortisol plays a major role in conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and depression. The technology uses synthetic DNA-based molecular switches to generate real-time readings.   XX Biolinq shared new clinical findings for its Shine continuous glucose monitoring system. The needle-free device combines glucose monitoring with activity and sleep tracking .The system received FDA clearance in 2025. They're also looking at measuring lactate through the sensor. XX Long-time T1D advocate Kent Schnakenberg died last week. Schnakenberg was known in his community for using his love of bicycling to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes. He also advocated for improving the lives of those living with the disease. Inspired by his niece, Michelle, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was 13 years old, since 2014 he has traveled around the country cycling thousands of miles, speaking to hundreds and hundreds of kids and raising Money. According to Schnakenberg's family, he suffered a head trauma incident in his home on Wednesday. I spoke to Kent years ago – I believe the first year of the podcast. A sad loss but wonderful to see so many tributes and memories posted on social media in the last few days. https://diabetes-connections.com/john-costik-co-creator-of-nightscout-team-schnak/ https://www.wibw.com/2026/06/12/team-schnak-founder-kent-schnakenberg-passes-away/ XX And finally. Alexander Zverev (ts-ver-uhv) won the French Open, his first Grand Slam title. He lives with type 1, he paused a couple of time to check his blood sugar. He was diagnosed at age 4 and partners with Medtronic. "Becoming a professional tennis player was always my dream," Zverev shared in an article posted by Medtronic. "Early on, I was told that competing at the highest level with diabetes was impossible — but my family and I refused to accept that. That's why I'm partnering with Medtronic Diabetes: I want every person with diabetes to feel empowered to live the life they want." He also has a foundation committed to children with type 1 diabetes. Among other things, the life-saving insulin and other essential drugs are provided – also in developing countries." https://www.mensjournal.com/news/alexander-zverev-diabetes-wins-french-open-2026-medical-condition

Send us Fan MailWhat does it mean to truly improve outcomes for very low birth weight infants, and are we actually doing it? In this episode, Daphna sits down with Dr. Joseph Kaempf, neonatologist and Medical Director of Value Research and Innovation at Providence Health System in Oregon, to examine some uncomfortable truths about neonatal quality improvement. Dr. Kaempf shares findings from a study spanning 16 NICUs over 14 years showing that composite morbidity outcomes have remained flat while length of stay has increased. He explores why traditional QI tools like driver diagrams and PDSA cycles may no longer be sufficient, and why augmented intelligence may be the next frontier. The conversation also touches on culture as a driver of NICU performance and the gap between institutional interests and true shared decision-making with families. A candid episode for anyone invested in the future of neonatology.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Send us Fan MailIf I walked into your organization today and asked you one simple question — “What is your revenue cycle trying to tell you?” — would you know the answer?Not your collections rate. Not your days in A/R. Not your monthly deposits. I mean the deeper answer. What operational stories are hiding inside your numbers right now?Because most healthcare organizations still think about revenue cycle as a billing department function. Claims go out. Payments come in. Denials get worked. Aging gets reviewed. End of story.But high-performing organizations understand something very different: your revenue cycle is not just billing. It is operational intelligence. It is one of the clearest mirrors of how your organization is actually functioning.Every metric tells a story. Your denial patterns tell stories. Your charge lag tells stories. Your payer behavior tells stories. Your provider coding and undercoding variation tells stories. Your scheduling data tells stories. Even your unapplied credits and unpostables tell stories. And the organizations that thrive financially are usually the organizations that have learned how to listen carefully.So today I want to challenge you to think differently about your revenue cycle. Not as a back-office function. Not as an administrative burden. But as one of the most important diagnostic tools in your entire organization.Because here's the truth: your revenue cycle is talking to you every single day. The question is whether anyone is listening.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Dr. Centor discusses the American College of Physicians guidance on breast cancer screening with Dr. Carolyn Crandall.

The traits that make someone a great doctor, caring deeply, holding high standards, never switching off, are the same traits quietly driving burnout in medicine. Dr. Ira van der Steenstraten has spent over a decade working with junior doctors across Queensland and now coaches doctors one-on-one, and what she keeps finding is that most are not struggling because the system is hard. They are struggling because nobody ever taught them to treat themselves with the same compassion they extend to every patient. This episode asks a confronting question: what if burnout is not a workload problem, but a self-compassion problem? And what do you actually do about a critical inner voice that has been running unchallenged for decades? Highlights [03:00]: Dr. van der Steenstraten describes what it was like to sit across the table from patients suffering deeply from the same condition she was living with herself, and what she noticed that changed how she understood the mind-body connection. [07:00]: A report landed in Australia in 2013 with numbers so alarming that a group of junior doctors decided enough was enough. What they built in response reached more than 4,500 interns across Queensland. [15:00]: Burnout gets talked about constantly in medicine, but Dr. van der Steenstraten draws a distinction between burnout and something else entirely that is far more common and far more misunderstood. [19:00]: She describes a period in her own clinical career where she showed up every day, did her job, and felt hollow doing it. The reason why will resonate with doctors across every specialty. [25:00]: Something unexpected happened when hospital leadership was invited into the wellbeing workshops. Dr. van der Steenstraten explains what it was and why it changed everything in the room. [30:00]: The very qualities that get doctors into medicine are the ones that make them most vulnerable inside it. Dr. van der Steenstraten explains why this is not a coincidence and what needs to happen next. Three Key Takeaways 1. Burnout and moral distress are not the same thing. Most doctors know what burnout feels like, but fewer have a name for the specific frustration of being unable to practice medicine the way they believe it should be practiced. Dr. van der Steenstraten describes moral distress as something distinct from burnout, with different drivers and a very different path forward. She has watched the moment doctors hear this distinction described clearly, and the response in the room is always the same. When you finally have the language for what is happening to you, something shifts. That shift is where recovery begins. 2. Self-compassion is not a soft skill. It is a clinical risk factor. The selection process for medical school tends to attract people who are caring, conscientious, and hard on themselves. Then medical training reinforces exactly those tendencies. Dr. van der Steenstraten argues that low self-compassion is one of the most underrecognized risk factors for burnout in medicine, and that the critical inner voice most doctors carry has often been running since long before they ever set foot in a hospital. The good news is that it is not fixed. The harder truth is that it takes more than awareness alone to change it. 3. Connection inside the workshop was the intervention. When Dr. van der Steenstraten asked groups of junior doctors what they found most valuable about the wellbeing program, the answer was rarely a specific strategy or framework. It was the moment they realized they were not alone. That simple recognition, that the person sitting next to them was carrying the same weight, consistently came back as the most powerful part of the experience. It raises a pointed question about what is actually lost when wellbeing programs move entirely online. Guest Bio Dr. Ira van der Steenstraten is a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and wellbeing coach based in Brisbane, Australia. She coached more than 4,500 junior doctors through her Queensland-wide wellbeing program and now works one-on-one with doctors internationally through Vitae Wellbeing Leadership.

A full week on the Incubator Journal Club.Ben opens with a nationwide Swedish cohort study from JAMA Network Open examining phototherapy duration in nearly 5,000 very preterm infants. Longer phototherapy was not significantly associated with late neonatal mortality, but six to seven days was associated with significantly higher rates of severe neonatal morbidity. With 95% of the cohort receiving phototherapy, Ben and Daphna question how much evidence actually supports the near-universal practice.Daphna follows with a retrospective study from Istanbul showing that 31% of term and near-term neonates hospitalized for unexplained hyperbilirubinemia had culture-proven UTIs, with pathological renal ultrasound findings independently associated with a 4.6-fold increased odds of UTI.Ben then reviews the extended CPAP secondary analysis by Mamidi and McEvoy, showing that two additional weeks of bubble CPAP reduced intermittent hypoxemia episodes from 151.7 to 57.6 compared to discontinued CPAP.Daphna closes with the NEOASP five-day UTI treatment guideline from Nationwide Children's Hospital, where a structured stewardship approach yielded a 1% failure rate.Ben and Eli close the week reflecting on The Pitt and what it reveals about the broken realities of American healthcare.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

The same instinct that makes you a careful clinician may be the one sabotaging your financial future. Cardiologist and fiduciary financial planner Stanley Liu joins this episode to explain why physicians' deeply trained aversion to risk becomes maladaptive once it leaves the hospital. This episode is based on his article "Physician financial risk: Balancing capacity and tolerance," published on KevinMD. You will learn why risk capacity and risk tolerance are two different variables, and why mistaking one for the other quietly drives bad financial decisions. You will hear why the physicians most at financial risk are those with low capacity and high tolerance, and why high-earning doctors with no debt sometimes stay stuck in toxic jobs they have the financial freedom to leave. You will also learn what questions a planner asks to surface the money scripts shaping your choices. Listen if you have ever wondered whether your discomfort with financial risk is protecting you or holding you back. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Dr. Amel Havkic, founder and Managing Director of EvoMed Consulting and a practicing physician, unpacks why so many amazing medtech solutions never reach the patient bedside, along with advice on how to change that. Driven by frustration from frontline care, Amel built EvoMed to guide companies from development through real-world clinical adoption, and shares how his MBA research became the StarMap framework: seven success factors spanning workflow alignment, implementation friction, ecosystem fit, quality of care, and economic viability. He explains why staying in clinical practice matters as medical knowledge rapidly evolves, offers a real example of digitalization increasing clinician burden, and discusses AI as “augmented intelligence” that supports—not replaces—human decision-making.  Guest links: https://evomed-consulting.eu/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/a-havkic/ | https://www.instagram.com/evomed_consulting?igsh=aTlyaGVmeXYybGt3 Charity supported: Save the Children Interested in being a guest on the show or have feedback to share?

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm delighted to welcome my guest, Amel Havkic. Amel is founder and MD of EvoMed Consulting, Department Head for Weaning and Home Ventilation. Dr. Amel is also a consulting medical director for many companies, apart from being an educator, mentor, author, and currently working physician. All right. Well thank you so much for being here. Welcome to the show. I'm delighted to talk with you today. [00:01:23] Amel Havkic: Thank you so much. It's a pleasure being here, and thank you for having me. [00:01:27] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. I'd love if you wouldn't mind starting off by sharing just a little bit about yourself, your background, and what led you to medtech. [00:01:37] Amel Havkic: Okay, so my name is Amel Havkic. I am still a practicing physician. But on top of that, I'm a advisor in medtech. I am in medtech since something like six, seven years, and it actually came from the frustration that I had in everyday work on the patient bedside. I was already consulting some medtech companies on specific topics. And I've seen this huge gap between amazing medtech solutions which, however, for whatever reason, never made it to the bedside. So I ended up, I ended up fund founding EvoMed Consulting consultancy, which helps medtech companies with clinical adoption, pretty much helps them guide from the development all the way to the patient bedside. The solutions really getting adopted, really having an impact. We've had quite some success with this. We've been named best Market Access Consultancy in '25 in medtech. I personally also celebrated recently award for Best Rising Star of the industry. And yeah, all of this came from the idea that I wanted to see a world where no patient is left behind and independent of geography or economy or economic status. Every patient gets the best care imaginable. And yeah, what better way to deliver that than medtech, right? [00:03:05] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, that was the perfect plug for medtech right there. That was excellent. So first of all, congratulations on all of your success and these recent achievements. That is really exciting and incredible and I, I know that your motivation goes obviously so much deeper than that, but I love the fact that you're getting recognized and it's, it's nice to have those moments of affirmation, so. [00:03:31] Amel Havkic: Yes, it is. I said it on the interview, which I got after the, after the award. It's not even about the award itself. It is actually about what I stand for and that is the human side of medtech. I mean, it is technology, but we're still doing it for humans. And as a doctor getting recognized and not as a founder, it is something it, it is a signal. So that's the, I think that's the positive, the good part about it, and that's what makes me proud. [00:04:03] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So did you always have an interest in medicine? Did you always think you were gonna go this route? [00:04:11] Amel Havkic: In medicine, yes. I think as far as I can remember, thinking I wanted to be, I wanted to be a doctor. I was trying to cater to wounded animals as a, as a kid with, I don't know, four or five, six years old. Then I went to med-- no, before I went to med school, I was doing basically nursing school. I grew up in Bosnia, in Sigovina There it's after eighth, eighth grade, you decide what you actually want to do. So I decided I wanted to go into medicine and at that time, Dr. House came out and or house MD in, in the English, English terminology. And I was a huge fan. So that was pretty much my, my route was set from that. I was al also always tech savvy, so if I wouldn't have done medicine, I would've probably done IT. And at one point it kind of merged. [00:05:09] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Okay. All right. So Dr. House, I can totally understand why that became an, an inspiration. Do you have any examples that you could share that are like, is, is the medical world ever as wild as some of those stories on Dr. House? [00:05:27] Amel Havkic: Oh yes. Oh yes. It is specifically. So besides working in the hospital, I work in a private practice, and funny enough that private practice is focused on difficult to diagnose and rare diseases of, obviously for, for that reason. I was also working in a hospital department, which was working with with or in discovering rare diseases specifically when it comes to, to respiratory diseases. So, yeah, it is like that. I can share a story of one patient, which came to me because she had thoracic pain every now and then. And it was reoccurring, came again and again. I did an ultrasound, and so she was at a cardiologist, she couldn't find anything. The, the whole thing. And it, I did an ultrasound of the chest and I found a, a little a little mass, which is not supposed to be there. So I sent her to a CT. Funny enough, the CT came back negative because it was so small that you couldn't see it on a ct. However, when you know exactly where to look, you could still like see outlines of it. And then in the, in the discussion came out that she had an endometriosis at one point. So, we said, "Okay, this might be somehow connected." We took a tissue sample, so in the end it was indeed an endometriosis, which got discovered after 20 plus years of or, or 10 years of, chest pain every now and then. So, it's just one of the examples of the, of the, so yeah, it's Dr. House specifically is quite realistic. [00:06:57] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh my goodness. That is wild. I, wow. Okay. That is, that is really cool. So, so do you also have these these moments, I could just imagine you just feel like you've solved a mystery and you can help this patient and you know exactly how, is that just like the best feeling? [00:07:13] Amel Havkic: For, for me it is, for me, it is, I always have to describe or, or tell to my assistants in a or, or not assistants, my residents. Please don't misunderstand me. I get excited by this, not because I want the patient to be sick, but because first of all, we find a way to help after so many people could not. And yeah, just for the pure love of the game, so to say. [00:07:37] Lindsey Dinneen: That's amazing. Okay, so, well, I feel like we can go off on many tangents, but I'll, I'll try to, I'll try to stay focused because I, but I love that. I love that. So you're a practicing physician and you're, you're seeing these instances of medical technology that I imagined isn't getting adopted in the way that you know it should, that would have clients or patient impact. So you're, you're seeing this for a while. So did that lead to direct opportunities to consult for some of these companies that needed a physician's perspective or how did, how did that go from, "Hey, I, I, gosh, I'm seeing this gap" to, "Okay, I know where to go from here." [00:08:19] Amel Havkic: So, it exactly like that. So I was brought into a medtech company to consult them as a clinical medical expert on, at that point, risks associated to their solution. Of course it makes sense to have someone who is still in the trenches, so to say, because the logic behind certain workflows in hospitals or in healthcare environment is not the same logic that it guy would have when talking workflows similar. So that's how it started. And then a pattern started emerging. When I did my MBA thesis, I basically took, took these two, these two, that, that gap that I saw and made it a topic of my MBA thesis. I was looking specifically on success factors in healthcare and what makes a solution gets adopted or delivery system healthcare path, what makes it get adopted in the real world and what does not. And what emerged was basically knowledge graph constellation, so to say, of seven success factors. And that constellation also showed how they're connected with each other, so, and how they interact how they impact one another. So I put that to the, to the to the test, the findings, running multiple times the most profitable hospital unit in basically every hospital I went to, starting my private practice, which got profitable from day one. Consulting clients on the same on the same, framework who were able to triple their, their revenue from 30 to 90 million. And so on, so forth. And ultimately then just about half a year ago, I made the framework public, and that's the StarMap framework which is the moment when everything kicked off. So everything I I said after all the awards and all the recognition came after I shared what I've been holding back up until that point. [00:10:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. Alright. Wow. All right. Can you share a little bit about this framework and what makes it so unique and impactful? [00:10:34] Amel Havkic: So what the eye recognized is that it works because it's basically backwards engineered. I had the benefit of hindsight and had the benefit of seeing the solutions, which really made it to, to the patient bedside. So this is a challenge that many medtech companies, specifically the medtech startups face. You know, they come actually from the other side trying to pick one of the hundreds, if not thousands of ways to to, to navigate, to come to that one point where they want to be. For me, it was exactly the other way around. I was already where they want to be and was able to backwards and engineer those factors. And it is, when you think about it or when you read through it, it's almost common sense. Factors like specialization, cooperation and ecosystem fit, workflow alignment, predictability of services. But also implementation, friction digitalization, quality of care, and specifically economic viability. So pretty much a 360 view on the, the, on the solution because when you, when you come to think of it, for something to get adopted in the clinic, there is a lot of different stakeholders involved. So it's not just the doctors, it's not just the clinics, it's the insurance companies, it's the the procurement, IT. Does this at all integrate into my ecosystem and so on so forth as a whole bunch of stakeholders and questions that need to be answered. And the StarMap is the first framework, which basically has a, a structured way of looking through all of these. [00:12:16] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. Yeah. So this is, this is a framework that you have, I imagine, developed and refined over time as you've been consulting. So when you first started consulting, what are some of maybe the lessons that you learned in terms of being able to really help these companies succeed? [00:12:35] Amel Havkic: This is a bit more of a personal one because, I founded a consulting company. So my thought I had, I have no clue about marketing. I have no clue about those things. I'm a doctor, right? So, I imagined that what I should be is a consultant, right? After all, I'm consulting. It turns out that the, the biggest impact I could make, in fact as a doctor, because in the end, that's what I am, it's what is most natural to me, and that is what is bringing most impact to the clients. And then there's one specific thing which I have, which many other consultants in healthcare, also good consultants, don't have. And it is the fact that I'm still practicing. Fact is that today medical knowledge doubles every 73 days. In theory, that means if you are out of the healthcare delivery for 73 days, your knowledge is almost obsolete. It was way less, it was a few years when I studied. And now it's, it's became so exponentially big. What that means is that if you would take a doctor, and make him a consultant, drag him out of the hospital, he would be an expert for 73 days, and that's where it would stop. And this is the, this is pretty much the, the mindset that I adopted and everyone consulting in the EvoMed is still a practicing, practicing healthcare practitioner. So yeah, that's what makes EvoMed specifically different and that's how I saw the world before and how I see it now. [00:14:09] Lindsey Dinneen: That's incredible. Okay. Yeah. And, and it makes so much sense that if you're practicing then you're, you're needing to keep up on all that. But just on a very practical level, how do you stay on top of so much new information coming out so regularly? I mean, it's not like, you know, you don't have three major career things going on right now. [00:14:33] Amel Havkic: Yeah, I think by now it's a flywheel, and luckily I, I am the very, in the, in the very lucky position that my, that my hospital knows and accepts what I'm doing outside of the hospital and also supports this. So, I get updated regularly through through people talking to me, reaching out to me, showing their solutions, asking for my opinion. And on the other side, so, so that's, that's what keeps me updated on a regular. And on the other side, I still I still see the challenges that you would have in a hospital implementing those solutions. So, recently the one specific thing happened, just as an example. We, I, I was involved or I'm involved in a digitalization pro project of an ICU and of operating room. For that they have now from, from paper, from from paper notes, they're switching to digital. Problem is the paper notes they could fill out within five minutes while the digital have all kinds of mandatory fields. And, and it's kind and, and the time it takes a physician to fill out those, those digital forms is six times... [00:15:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. [00:15:47] Amel Havkic: ...More, so it's 30 minutes roughly if you're fast. So although you would think that something which gets digitalized is automatically better, this specific thing proves that just because someone thought, okay, I need this information, it need, this needs to be mandatory. But because the system maybe doesn't communicate with other parts of the system, legacy systems, legacy data from somewhere, it makes the job of the doctor living hell. So you, you can imagine how it is when you have like one person doing, I don't know, 40, 50, 60 pre-medication a day, and then from like five to 10 minutes pre-medication, it goes to 30 minutes, 60 minutes. That's, that's a problem. [00:16:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. So yeah, that is, that's, that is so interesting. It's, it's kind of, I suppose that goes into a lot of innovation. There are sometimes, you know, the things that we think, "Oh, well, this is, this is progress" and, and it might be, but just because you can doesn't mean it's always perhaps the most efficient or we should at least stress test it and decide, you know, how to make it the best it can be. So, all right, what are some, what are some trends and innovations that you're seeing that you're really excited about in terms of the future of medical care? [00:17:08] Amel Havkic: Well, obviously AI is a, is a great trend. I am really hoping that it'll take the, the proper route. I am, I've, I've been saying this a lot and I will repeat it again. When I say AI in healthcare context, I don't like AI as artificial intelligence, but as augmented intelligence, because what it's supposed to do, it's supposed to support our natural decision making process. And a decision in a high stakes environment like healthcare still needs to be in the hands of humans because there's much more to it than just a simple yes or no, or a statistic, or it's most probable that and that is a trend. So, so that is a technology which has huge potential. But so far, I must say oftentimes I see it implemented in the wrong way. It's trying to automate certain things either not good enough, or at certain points, or in such a way that it's not a livable in daily life or meets resistance. Specifically in healthcare, it's a very inert system because innovation in healthcare is perhaps dangerous is, it introduces new risks. That's why healthcare evolved to be a very inert system and to resist changes unless those changes are definitely proven to be better than what we have right now. So as an example, we had IBM Watson Oncology, huge player, huge possibilities. But somehow the, the way that Watson Oncology did things was not the way that clinicians wanted to use it. So in the end, they ended up selling it off. And that is just one example of many, many. So what I would really like to see for the future is AI is augmented intelligence, which really is positioned at the right places in a workflow of healthcare practitioners and help support their decisions rather than trying to automize or making them obsolete. [00:19:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And it's, it's something that of course we hear a lot about, you know, and, and a lot of times I think that what I've been hearing, exactly like you said is, you know, if it can help, if it can help minimize some workflows or make something more, a process more efficient or those kinds of things, that is great help. But I don't think anyone wants AI to replace the expertise and the hands on learning that you do. And, and you obviously every 73 days, like you said, you're constantly building up your, your knowledge bank. And literally having been in the, in the medical setting for so long, you've, you've gotten to see this play out in real life and AI can't do that. So yeah, that's really interesting. [00:20:12] Amel Havkic: True. What, what it can do however, is just like every other job, healthcare also has a bell curve. So you have 5% or a percentage of the practitioners who are massive under performers, a percentage which are massive over performers, and then there's an average in the middle. And what, what AI can do is it can help even out the bell curve and move it as far to the expertise side as possible. There's also other repetitive tasks which, which can be taken over. So I do see potential in the, I do see a lot of potential in that technology specifically. But just as another example in my private practice, I have a. I have a AI scribe. It is specific for medtech. It's not something that I misuse, foreseeable misuse, for all the regulatory people. But it is an AI scribe. Still, most of my colleagues are not using it because they say, "Okay, this does not fit our needs. And it is not that specific scribe that we use." You cannot tweak the way how it gives you the output. It's preset. You can optimize certain things, but you cannot, for instance, train on your on the way you like your letters to look, for example. Then there's errors. So although you think, "Okay, you save a lot of time typing," right? You add at another point another a few work steps with the solution and ending up being shelved again because it's not really helping. Although from the, from the first glance, on the first glance, you would think, "Okay, this is revolutionary." [00:21:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Okay that. Yeah. So it's gonna be interesting to see how it evolves and how it becomes hopefully even more useful in the future. So are there any moments that along your journey, either as a physician or even as a consultant, are there any moments that really stand out to you as affirming, "Wow, I am in the right place at the right time." [00:22:23] Amel Havkic: So it happened on, so speaking of the doctor part, yeah. It happened to me quite often. And I was first thinking of it as having bad luck. But ultimately maybe I was supposed to be there. So for some reason I run on a regular, into, into big car accidents happening. And car accidents or motorcycle accidents or so on, so forth, at least maybe 6, 7, 8 of them through, throughout my life with people really being injured and me being there as a first responder. So, so those were for instance, moments where I thought, "Okay, well, I understand this happens once or twice," but now and, and keeps keeps getting more. It's a bit maybe I wouldn't say well, it, it seems that I am supposed to be there at that time. That's how it feels to me. On the, the consulting side as well, specifically now that medtech is gaining more traction and more impact, and also with the award recently and similar things happening, that also made me feel like, "Okay, maybe I can with this make impact on more lives than just the lives I treat directly." Because if you manage to help a medtech startup launch a revolutionary idea and then survive and really make it all the way to the market and then thrive there, you impact thousands hundred, thousands, maybe millions of lives. And the, it being accepted the way it is right now is for me as well a similar sign. [00:24:05] Lindsey Dinneen: That's really cool. Yeah. I, I think, you know, I, I talk about it a lot. My role within medtech industry, you know, is, is small. I don't have that same level of impact at all. I'm, I'm helping, I'm, I'm in marketing, so I'm helping people tell their stories and get the, the word out. But I think getting to even just think about the fact that no matter kind of where you fit into the ecosystem you're helping hopefully impact patients' lives for the better and it's, it's so special getting to feel like even though it's a small role, I got to play a role. Yeah. [00:24:42] Amel Havkic: It is a, i I wouldn't even downplay it that much to be honest, because if no one hears about the solution, if no one knows that it exists there's more and more and more we're getting overloaded with all kinds of information. So, marketers who help certain things break through and reach the right people are doing their share just as anyone else in the industry is. It's maybe just as important. So yeah, I, I would encourage you to continue what you're doing up until now. [00:25:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Well, thank you. That's, that's, that is very encouraging. Okay, so, pivoting the conversation a little bit. Just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want. It could be within your industry, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:25:31] Amel Havkic: Oh, that's a relatively easy one for me. I would teach clinical adoption masterclass and clinical adoption simply for the reasons we already mentioned. I would really like to help good solutions survive the reality of everyday clinical life. [00:25:50] Lindsey Dinneen: Amazing. [00:25:51] Amel Havkic: I think survive is the right, right word for this. [00:25:54] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, I think so too, especially in having conversations with startups that are currently in the midst of this and, and trying to navigate the best approaches. So, yeah. That's incredible. Okay. And how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:26:11] Amel Havkic: Well, that's a more difficult one. How do I wish to be remembered? Well, I would like to be the, so I would like to be the guy who everyone thinks left the world a better place than I found it. Maybe, quite short, not that extensive, but the implications are huge. You know, you can make the world better in many different ways. I do have certain skills and talents which naturally got me to where I am today. But it ultimately doesn't matter how much better the world is after I'm gone as long as it is better and this became clear to me also recently. So, while the, the awards night was going on, my wife couldn't come with me because our kid got sick, so she stayed in a hotel and, but they were watching the live stream and in the amidst of it all, when, when I came up and I went front to get the award, the little one got up, although she was sick and she was like laying in bed all day and couldn't get up. She went to the screen and pointed to the screen. So yeah, ultimately I want also my my daughter to think of me as someone who made this world a better place one way or the other. [00:27:29] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I love that. That's a beautiful legacy and yeah, you're, you're doing just that, so that's amazing. That is so amazing. Okay. Okay. And then final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:27:48] Amel Havkic: Oh, that's also an easy one for me. It's definitely my daughter, also my wife. It's, yeah, it's an amazing it's, it's amazing just seeing her growing up and develop all of these new skills and all of the new things that you didn't, that she didn't know how to do the day before. Also the way she goes through the world. She's fascinated by everything. Everything around is somehow magical and new and, yeah, so she can just like sit, sit in a, in a baby carriage and look around and everything is so, so awesome. She doesn't even need more. And that makes me remember that we actually should be more, way more, way more aware of the world around us and maybe not so, rushing all the time. [00:28:39] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. Yes. I, I love that. I think I think about this sometimes of the idea of everyday magic, and those are just those moments of, I don't know, a butterfly, you know, flying by and you just see how beautiful its wings are or, you know, nature is, is very much that way for me in general. I, I, you know, you go on a walk and you go, "Oh my gosh, you know, those, those daffodils weren't there yesterday, and how beautiful are these things?" And to me, that's everyday magic. [00:29:09] Amel Havkic: Well, it, it is, and we, I, I do think that we don't take enough time to appreciate it. With always being busy with what's in the future, where we have to be and what we still have to do, that we maybe forget sometimes to appreciate what's right in front of us. [00:29:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Well, this has been a wonderful conversation. I'm so thankful you joined me today.

What if the cure for physician burnout has been making it worse the whole time? Lisa Rubiano, an internal medicine physician and physician coach, spent over a decade as a hospitalist before burning out in 2021 and stepping back to figure out what really went wrong. This episode is based on her article "Why resilience is not the cure for physician burnout," published on KevinMD. You will hear why the resilience narrative quietly shifts blame onto individual physicians while letting toxic systems off the hook, how the Quadruple Aim turned clinician well-being into a vague self-care mandate, and what it actually takes to unlearn the belief that you should be able to push through anything. Lisa breaks down why setting boundaries feels so hard, why systems have no real incentive to change, and where physicians are quietly building their own way out.

Send us Fan MailIs five days of antibiotics enough to treat a urinary tract infection in a NICU infant? In this Journal Club episode, Ben and Daphna review a single-center study from Nationwide Children's Hospital examining adherence and safety of a five-day antibiotic treatment guideline for culture and urinalysis-proven UTIs in the NICU. Among 77 infants with 93 bacterial UTIs, the five-day course was associated with a 1% failure rate, defined as reinitiation of antibiotics within seven days for the same organism. The episode also explores the potential role of enteral antibiotic therapy and what shorter treatment courses could mean for babies still weeks away from discharge.----Urinary tract infection in the neonatal intensive care unit.

In this Journal Club episode, Ben and Daphna review a secondary analysis from the Journal of Pediatrics by Mamidi and McEvoy. Among 95 infants randomized to either two additional weeks of bubble CPAP on room air or discontinued CPAP, those in the extended CPAP group experienced significantly fewer intermittent hypoxemia episodes (57.6 versus 151.7), higher baseline saturations, and greater functional residual capacity.

What if success in medicine didn't require sacrificing your family, your peace, or the life you actually want to live?In this heartfelt and deeply insightful episode of Limitless MD, Dr. Vikram Raya sits down with Dr. Kristina Kypuros for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to build a meaningful life as a modern physician.Together, they unpack the evolving identity of today's doctors — physicians who are no longer willing to wait until retirement to enjoy their lives. From entrepreneurship and real estate investing to parenting, relationships, self-love, and intentional living, this episode explores how high-performing physicians can create success without losing themselves in the process.Dr. Kypuros shares her journey balancing medicine, motherhood, marriage, innovation, and wealth-building while staying grounded in purpose and presence. Meanwhile, Dr. Raya opens up about imposter syndrome, coaching, mindset shifts, resilience, and the philosophies helping him navigate growth, grief, ambition, and fulfillment in this next chapter of life.This conversation is both practical and deeply human — a reminder that building an extraordinary life is less about achieving more and more about becoming aligned with what matters most.“I want to include my children in everything I build without sacrificing time with them.”~ Dr. Kristina KypurosIn This Episode:Why today's physicians are redefining success and lifestyle designThe shift from traditional medicine into entrepreneurship and intentional livingHow coaching and mentorship can completely transform your trajectoryNavigating imposter syndrome and building true self-beliefWhy presence matters more than productivityThe importance of family, community, and designing a meaningful life nowHow to balance ambition with peace and fulfillmentLessons from stoicism, mindfulness, and European cultureWhy simplicity and surrender are becoming the new markers of successDaily practices and mindset shifts that help high performers stay groundedDr. Jessie Mahoney's Framework for FlowRegulate your nervous system before trying to optimize your scheduleReplace constant hustle with intentional pauses and awarenessBuild capacity through rest, presence, and recovery—not more outputPractice micro-moments of mindfulness throughout your dayReconnect with your internal signals instead of relying on external validationRedefine success from doing more to feeling alignedAbout Dr. Kristina KypurosDr. Kristina Kypuros is a wife, mother, and physician specializing in Pediatric Critical Care and Emergency Medicine.

In this Diving Deep episode, Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr examine the rapid advance of generative AI, along with the growing conflict between medicine's mission to heal and doctors' need for financial security. The conversation begins with a question now echoing across every profession: Will AI replace highly trained workers? In medicine, Dr. Pearl argues, the answer is less about replacement than redefinition. Drawing on recent changes in software development, he explains how “vibe coding” has allowed programmers to stop writing much of the code themselves and instead use generative AI to build, test and refine applications from plain-language instructions. Rather than feeling diminished, many coders report greater satisfaction because AI has taken over the repetitive, error-prone work and left them more time for problem-solving. Pearl sees a similar possibility in healthcare. Like coding, medicine relies on years of training, structured reasoning and repeatable processes. Chronic disease management offers the clearest example. Hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol are leading causes of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure, yet proven treatments often fail because doctors lack the time to monitor patients continuously and adjust medications quickly. With home devices, physician-set targets and generative AI support, care could shift from occasional office visits to ongoing management, helping more patients achieve control while freeing physicians to focus on complex cases. The second half of the episode turns from technology to mission. Using Tim Cook's legacy at Apple as a case study, Pearl examines what happens when values and financial incentives collide. Cook's tenure produced extraordinary business results, but critics have questioned whether some of his choices conflicted with his own values and Apple's public statements around privacy, dignity and human-centered technology. Pearl uses that as background for a similar question about medicine: What happens when doctors, who train to help and heal others above all else, feel increasingly forced to make career decisions shaped by money? For generations, medicine was understood as a calling. Today, most physicians no longer own their practices. Many now work for hospitals, health systems, insurers or private equity-backed groups, while others have moved into concierge or direct primary care models. Pearl stresses that these choices are rational. But the financial upside comes with psychological and moral consequences that are rarely discussed — and that may shape the future of physician fulfillment.

Dr. Kirk Campbell shares his journey from aspiring physician to orthopedic surgeon and academic leader, highlighting how early experiences shaped his passion for medicine. He reflects on the rigorous training physicians undergo and the significant gap in financial education during that time. Despite entering high-income roles, many physicians lack the knowledge to manage their finances effectively, often facing high debt and limited exposure to wealth-building strategies beyond traditional investments. The conversation explores how the shift from private practice to employed physician models has reduced access to traditional wealth-building opportunities, such as ownership in practices and ancillary revenue streams. Dr. Campbell explains how he discovered real estate syndications as a way to recreate these benefits, generating passive income and leveraging tax advantages. Through disciplined self-education and experience, he developed a strategy that aligns with physicians' analytical skill sets, emphasizing due diligence and risk assessment. Dr. Campbell also provides practical insights for physicians interested in alternative investments, including how to evaluate deals, identify red flags, and build relationships with trusted sponsors. He stresses the importance of financial education, diversification, and creating income streams that are not tied to clinical work. Ultimately, the episode underscores the need for physicians to take an active role in their financial lives to gain flexibility, reduce risk, and build long-term wealth. 3 Key Takeaways Physicians often lack financial education despite earning high incomes. Real estate and alternative investments can help recreate lost private practice benefits. Education and due diligence are critical before entering private investment opportunities.

What if the most powerful marketing tool a physician has isn't a website or an ad campaign — it's themselves? In this episode, Tracy Cherpeski sits down with Ginger Allen, founder of Your Medical Liaison and president of the Florida Medical Association Alliance, to talk about what actually works when growing a functional medicine practice or any independent healthcare practice.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  With 12 years of medical marketing experience, Ginger has seen it all — physicians who invest in $100,000 machines before they have a patient base to support them, marketing companies that take the money and disappear, and the slow grind of burnout that sets in when doctors are trying to run a business on top of practicing medicine. Her antidote: get marketing off your plate, lead with your personal brand, and build a practice where you're the draw — not the decor. You'll hear why functional and integrative medicine requires a fundamentally different marketing strategy, how Ginger helps physicians show up on camera without hating every second of it, and what she's consistently noticed about doctors who make the shift to root-cause care: they're genuinely happier.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page 

What would you do with an uninterrupted four-hour block of quiet time? Nate shares how a family flight to Hawaii turned into a deep dive into the wartime history of Vanguard and its legendary founder, Jack Bogle. Nate highlights several foundational investing concepts that physician families may find helpful when evaluating long-term financial planning decisions. Nate also dives into the fascinating history behind why Vanguard was named after a British battleship and how Jack Bogle walked away from billions in personal wealth to keep profits in the pockets of everyday investors. He explains why Vanguard became the default many investors and how buying a piece of the entire market can make for a smoother ride compared to picking individual stocks. We also learn about "The Bogle Effect" and why you may not be at a financial disadvantage if your employer 403(b) or retirement account is housed at Fidelity or Schwab instead of Vanguard.

Few physicians ever experience healthcare from the perspective of a health plan, but Jacob Asher, MD, is an exception. A former ENT surgeon with Kaiser Permanente, Asher shifted gears in 2008 to pursue a career in commercial health plan management. Over the next 14 years, he served as California Commercial Market Medical Director for Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. Today, he shares his expertise by mentoring students in Stanford University's Master's Program in Medical Informatics. In this conversation with host Michael Sacopulos, Asher pulls back the curtain on commercial insurance — from how contracts are structured, to who holds pricing power, why behavioral health has been siloed, and what AI might finally be able to fix in a system long defined by friction and misaligned incentives. Asher also shares how serving on Kaiser Permanente's Medical Group Board of Directors helped prompt his move from surgery into health plan leadership. He also discusses the role of AAPL (then ACPE) in preparing physicians for non-clinical career paths. Learn more about the American Association for Physician Leadership at www.physicianleaders.org.

Dr. Sarah Matt trained as a burn surgeon, working in a field where patients arrive with catastrophic injuries and survival depends on speed, skill, and resources. She left the bedside after confronting a limit that medicine does not like to admit. One physician can only see so many people in a day. The system surrounding those patients decides the rest. She moved into health technology, held leadership roles in startups, and built global infrastructure at Oracle to scale care across populations. Then she watched billions of dollars in digital health and AI initiatives stall out when they hit real clinical environments.This episode follows that pivot from surgeon to strategist and back into direct patient care in rural New York, where she now treats uninsured patients, migrant workers, and communities pushed to the margins. The conversation centers on a persistent failure across healthcare systems. Products get built for regulators, executives, and investors instead of the people who use them. The result shows up in failed adoption, broken workflows, prior authorization delays, and rising physician burnout.The discussion cuts through health policy language and lands on lived consequence. The system rewards speed over usability, scale over trust, and compliance over care. Patients absorb the fallout. Physicians carry the liability. The incentives remain intact.RELATED LINKSDr. Sarah MattThe Borderless Healthcare RevolutionThe Clinical RealistJessica FedererSovatoFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Among 96 term and near-term infants, 31% had culture-proven UTIs, a striking prevalence. Pathological renal ultrasound findings were independently associated with UTI, with affected neonates 4.6 times more likely to have a concurrent infection. Notably, standard laboratory markers including CRP and white blood cell count failed to distinguish UTI-positive from UTI-negative infants.

In Episode 2 of our pediatric neurology series, we explore how advances in diagnostic technology have transformed the field of neurology. Our guests discuss the evolution of neurologic evaluation - from early ultrasound imaging to CT and MRI - and how modern imaging has revolutionized the ability to diagnose and understand neurologic disease in children.Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Josh Bonkowsky, MD also examine the growing role of genomic testing, which is increasingly available in clinical practice and providing families with greater diagnostic clarity. Alongside these advances come important philosophical and ethical questions: What is the value of diagnosing a condition when no cure exists? How much information do families want, and how should that information be shared?Our guest discusses a “leveled results” approach to genomic testing, emphasizing shared decision-making and giving families meaningful input into how much information they receive. Throughout the episode, the focus remains on helping patients and families make informed decisions while navigating uncertainty with compassion and transparency.Have a question?

Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club episode, Ben and Daphna review a nationwide Swedish cohort study examining the association between phototherapy duration and neonatal outcomes in very preterm infants (22 to 31 weeks). The study's primary outcome, late neonatal mortality on days 8 to 27, was not significantly associated with phototherapy duration. However, longer phototherapy exposure was associated with increased odds of severe neonatal morbidity, including IVH and BPD, in infants born at 26 to 31 weeks. The findings prompt an important conversation about the near-universal use of phototherapy in preterm neonates and whether current practice warrants reassessment.----Phototherapy, Morbidity, and Mortality in Very Preterm Newborns.
