Join us as Dean's chat co-hosts Doctors Jeff Jensen and Johanna Richey interview Dr. Matthew Cobb and Dr. Haywan Chiu, founders of the Foot and Ankle Surgical Academy.  Dr. Cobb received his doctorate of podiatric medicine from the California School of Podiatric Medicine with Samuel Merritt University in Oakland in 2005. He went on to complete his 3-year surgical residency training program with Kaiser Permanente's San Francisco, Bay Area Foot, and Ankle Residency program.  Dr. Haywan Chiu received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and did his doctorate of Podiatric medicine at Temple University. He completed his 3-year surgical residency program with DVA Palo Alto Podiatry residency program and Stanford University. Dr. Matt Cobb and Dr. Haywan Chiu discuss their experiences in podiatry and the development of the academy, providing valuable resources for students, residents, and faculty. Dr. Cobb specializes in reconstructive surgery with a focus on pediatrics, bringing a unique perspective to the field. Tune in to learn more about their journey and the impact of the academy on the podiatric community. Dr. Cobb and Dr. Chiu (along with 2 of their colleagues) began recording their surgeries to share with their students and residents to facilitate distance learning. They hoped to keep their residents engaged in learning surgical procedures even if they were not able to be physically present in the operating room due to pandemic restrictions/limitations. Listen as they describe their experiences with adaptability, flexibility, and leaning into technology to help advance surgical education. We discuss how vulnerability can help broaden opportunities and break down barriers to quality education. The Foot and Ankle Surgery Academy, also known as FASA, was established during the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the challenges faced by students, residents, and faculty in podiatric medicine. Dr. Matt Cobb and Dr. Haywan Chiu, the founders, recognized the impact of the pandemic on surgical training, with elective surgeries being canceled and limited opportunities for residents to gain hands-on experience in the operating room. This led to the idea of creating a platform where surgical procedures could be filmed and shared with the podiatric community. The primary goal of FASA is to provide educational resources through video compilations of various surgeries, accompanied by voiceovers from the primary surgeons. The videos aim to offer a detailed insight into the decision-making process, techniques, and nuances of podiatric surgeries. The founders emphasize showcasing not only the technical aspects of surgery but also the thought process behind each step. The creation of FASA allowed for a unique learning experience for students, residents, and faculty. The videos provided a visual representation of surgeries, allowing viewers to observe the procedures in detail. The platform also offered a space for discussion and reflection on different approaches to surgery, highlighting the importance of decision-making and adaptability in the operating room. Dr. Cobb and Dr. Chiu also discuss how the ability to make sound decisions during surgery is crucial, as it can determine the overall success of the procedure. They shared examples of cases where high-risk decisions led to positive outcomes, showcasing the significance of thoughtful and strategic decision-making in surgical practice. Dr. Cobb shares a valuable insight from his mentor, Shannon Rush, who emphasized the importance of stepping in right before a mistake is made that cannot be fixed. This highlights the critical role of experienced surgeons in guiding residents and younger surgeons to make the right decisions during procedures. Dr. Cobb's experience with Dr. Rush exemplifies how mentorship and guidance from seasoned professionals can shape a surgeon's decision-making process and ultimately lead to better outcomes for patients. The discussion also touched on the challenge of maintaining focus and presence during surgeries, with Dr. Cobb and Dr. Chiu emphasizing the need for residents to stay engaged and attentive throughout the entire procedure. They highlighted the potential consequences of zoning out or losing focus, underscoring the importance of being mentally present and focused on the task at hand to ensure successful surgical outcomes. They also share a personal experience where he and his colleague would remind residents not to zone out during surgeries, especially during critical moments like organ closures. He stressed the impact of losing focus, mentioning the potential consequences such as infections and compromised outcomes due to laziness or distraction. Dr. Chiu mentioned the challenge of teaching this mental integration component, as it goes beyond technical skills and requires a deep level of concentration and mindfulness. The discussion touched on the concept of neuroplasticity and focus, highlighting the variability in individuals' abilities to maintain focus for extended periods. https://explorepodmed.org/ Dean's Chat Website Dean's Chat Episodes Dean's Chat Blog Why Podiatric Medicine?  Become a Podiatric Physician https://lelandjaffedpm.com

Dean's chat Co-hosts, Doctors Jeff Jensen and Johanna Richey interview Dr. Kwasi Kwaadu, Assistant Residency Director from Temple University and director of the Charcot and Limb Salvage Center!  Originally from Ghana, Dr. Kwaadu talks about how his childhood has influenced his perspective and his career. Dr. Kwaadu graduated in 2005 with his undergraduate degree from Temple University and went on to complete his Podiatric medical school there as well.

We discuss his own fellowship as well as the trade-offs and benefits residents can consider when looking at career options in podiatric medicine and surgery.  Dr. Kwaadu emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence (EQ) over IQ in various aspects of his life and work, noting that managing people's emotions is delicate and consequential. Understanding and navigating emotions play a significant role in leadership and teamwork. Dr. Kwaadu shares personal experiences where emotional intelligence has been pivotal in his interactions with colleagues, students, and his children. He discusses the value of emotional intelligence in managing relationships, resolving conflicts, and fostering a positive work environment. Additionally, he mentions the significance of emotional intelligence in research, where handling feedback and peer reviews requires a high level of EQ. Overall, research catalyzes self-improvement, innovation, and the advancement of knowledge in various fields. It allows individuals to critically evaluate their practices, challenge assumptions, and contribute to the evolution of best practices in their respective domains. Balancing work and family life, especially with children, requires dedication and a focus on creating meaningful experiences. Dr. Kwasi Kwaadu shared insights into how he manages his busy clinical practice, academic responsibilities, and family life with his twin boys in the podcast episode. He emphasized the importance of being present for his children and making time for them, even amidst a demanding schedule. Dr. Kwaadu also emphasizes the significance of research in challenging traditional practices and promoting continuous improvement. Research findings can sometimes contradict established beliefs, leading to a reevaluation of treatment modalities. For example, he mentioned the case of microfracturing in orthopedic surgery, where research findings may suggest alternative or more effective treatment options. Moreover, research fosters a culture of humility and openness to new ideas. By engaging in research, individuals are encouraged to question existing norms, seek evidence-based solutions, and adapt their practices based on new information. Dr. Kwaadu's discussion on the peer review process in research also highlighted the importance of receiving constructive feedback and being receptive to different perspectives. Dr. Kwaadu highlighted the significance of creating meaningful experiences with his children, such as going for walks, visiting the playground, and engaging in physical activities together. He expressed a deep sense of responsibility and a desire to provide his children with positive and enriching experiences, viewing his role as a parent as a second chance to create a strong bond and lasting memories. Furthermore, Dr. Kwaadu's approach to parenting reflects a commitment to being emotionally present and engaged with his children. Drawing inspiration from his own childhood experiences, he strives to be a supportive and involved father, recognizing the impact of his actions on his children's development and well-being. Tune in as we explore the clinical and didactic side of teaching and how to engage with students. Listen as we dive into the value of feedback and difficult conversations. We discuss how becoming a parent has shifted his mindset and helped him open up more with students. As a busy father of 2 twin boys, he discusses how patience and perspective can help lead to better interactions. Dr. Kwaadu shares some of his personal experiences where candid and open feedback helped positively influence and shape him.

In the episode, Dr. Jensen and Dr. Spohn-Gross also discuss the need for better branding and media presence to educate the public about physicians and their work. The doctors acknowledge that there is still a lack of awareness among the public regarding podiatric physicians and their capabilities. They recognize the need to establish a clear identity for the profession to effectively recruit students. Such efforts would increase awareness and understanding among the public, benefiting both physicians and the profession as a whole. Dr. Spohn-Gross states our profession is poised for the next level of evolution but we must be able to work with others to come up with original and positive ideas that move us forward.

On today's episode, Dennis sits down with Sports Chiropractor and mental and physical chemistry researcher, Dr. Carmen Romano. Dr. Carmen Romano received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Bridgeport University in December of 1999. After earning his degree, Dr Romano spent a year practicing in Italy before returning to New Jersey. Since 2003, he has owned Madison Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center in Madison, NJ. Madison Medical is an integrative medical center that includes Internal Medicine, Functional Medicine, Physical Medicine, Chiropractic, Podiatric and Physical Therapy services to patients. He also owns and operates R3 Recovery Lab which offers cryotherapy, infrared sauna and pneumatic compression services as well as cold-pressed juices, detox cleanses and butter brain coffee. At Madison Medical, Dr Romano has created a center where patients receive immediate attention from a collaborating team of whole body wellness focused practitioners. What began as a small Chiropractic office in 2003 has grown to a 10,000 square foot integrative medical center through Dr Romano's philosophy and vision. Patient care at Madison Medical is a collaborative process with providers co-treating to address systemic issues along with current symptoms. Visits may include hormone and micro-nutrient testing, diagnostic ultrasound and x-ray, gait evaluations and orthotics to identify and address root causes of the symptoms being experienced. Dr Romano's newest venture, R3Recovery Lab was born out of the observed need for complimentary services such as Cryotherapy, Infrared Sauna and Pneumatic Compression to aid athletes in real recovery. Recognizing that pro athletes have access to these types of services every day, Dr Romano created R3 so that the “weekend-warrior” type athlete or average patient recovering from injury or illness could also benefit from these services.Today, J.P. gets deep into sharing his story starting from what inspired him to join the Army, the loss of his friend Justin while on mission and how that impacted his view on life, the day of his incident that led to his tragic injuries, his battle with recovery and his 12 suicide attempts, keeping faith when you're in the darkness, the book he wrote "Walking Again" and the support to handle life together. Today, Dennis and Dr. Romano talk about the wear and tear of the "grind", the effects of diet on the body and the brain, tweaking your diet to fit your lifestyle, importance of relationships and how it corresponds with your mental health, creating goals for yourself and business advice.
