Where’s the balance? Dr Sarah Yong. From CICM Trainee Symposium 2019

What are the biggest challenges when beginning as a fully-fledged intensive care clinician? How do you best use your senior colleagues when your experience bank is still small? What can you do to help achieve gender equity in intensive care medicine?   These are some of the questions you’ll ponder as you listen to the latest Mastering Intensive Care podcast guest Dr Sarah Yong from Melbourne. Having started off 2018 with two “Best of 2017” episodes on the podcast, today allows you the opportunity to hear a new interview. I am enthusiastic and passionate about bringing you some further valuable perspectives on improving how we do our jobs in intensive care units around the world. And this year I’m hoping to branch out a bit and try some new things and some new types of guests. Mastering Intensive Care is not just about interviewing older and experienced intensivists. It’s also about hearing some of the challenges from less experienced intensivists as they traverse the early days of their careers. So in this episode you’ll hear from Sarah who is right in the middle of this phase working at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating from The University of Melbourne, she completed training in general medicine before obtaining her fellowship of intensive care medicine. Along with critical care, she has a strong interest in education, simulation and the free open-access medical education (FOAMed) revolution. She is currently completing a Masters in Clinical Education in non-technical skills in intensive care. Sarah is a strong advocate for her peers including convening the Victorian Primary Exam Course, chairing the Trainee Committee and being the New Fellows' Representative for the College of Intensive Care Medicine here in Australia and New Zealand. She is a founding convenor of the Women in Intensive Care Medicine Network, which is dedicated to improving the gender balance in Australasian Intensive Care Medicine through advocacy, research and networking. I really enjoyed talking with Sarah. She is eloquent, mature, humble and honest; and she has a great perspective on how we can all take action to achieve improved gender balance in intensive care. In the episode we talk about many things, including: What attracted Sarah to intensive care The rewards of delivering end of life conversations Whether she can sustain a lifelong career in the specialty How she dealt with the transition between trainee and fully fledged specialist Her utilization of other colleagues to support her ever-improving experience base The characteristics of the senior specialists who stood out to her What habits she is concentrating on to develop professionally How she has learnt and developed her communication skills Her excellent approach to a family conversation Dealing with the demands of an intensive care career Preparing at home for a busy clinical week Blending family and career The main gender-related issues women face in intensive care Sarah’s work with the Women In Intensive Care network Her advice for current trainees My genuine hope with this podcast is to inspire and empower you to bring your best self to work and to adopt improved habits and behaviours at work, so you can more masterfully interact with and care for your patients, their families and your colleagues. Thanks for joining me on a quest to improve outcomes both in your intensive care and in mine.

Physician and Intensivist Steve Warrilow, Director of the Austin Hospital ICU, talks about everything from Physician Generalism to Surgical Super Specialisation. Stephen is a man that can communicate. Stephen Warrilow is in many respects my ideal Intensivist. Trained as a physician (aka Internal Medicine), a generalist by anyones standards, he specialised in ICU and was good enough to become the Director of the same unit that brought you Rinaldo Bellomo. He brings a calm, measured, intelligent voice to all he does. He makes people like me look bad. I sat down and chatted to Stephen at the CICM ASM and was hoping to find some sort of flaw, something that I could use against him, but no. I liked him even more after we talked. We did get stuck into some important stuff starting with Stephens own path from Physician Trainee to Intensive Care. He would know a little bit about it too as he not only ran the regional physicians training consortium for 7 years but he still examines for the Royal Australian College of Physicians. Having completed the RACP process himself he had to deal with the rather important fact that he doesn’t really like out-patient clinics. Hmmmm. So Stephen was one of those brave people that starts in an ICU even though, in his own words, he “couldn’t intubate, couldn’t do lines”. Stephen is in a great place to compare and contrast RACP and CICM training. At the CICM ASM Stephen was one of the leaders of the Consultant Only ICU Update Pre-Conference workshop which was about communication. So he was teaching the supposed experts how to do what they are supposedly experts at! That sounds a bit difficult. We get into paternalism, (The College also ran a Trainee Only Pre-conference event. Have a listen to Jellybean 62 Sarah Yong speaking about that and there is a soon to be released Jellybean with one of her co-co-ordinators, Naomi Diel.) Despite the physician back story we end up talking about surgical hyper specialisation and what it might mean. The Jellybean Podcast is about the stories in between the obvious stuff in Medicine, nursing and paramedicine. It's good to talk.

College of Intensive Care Medicine x Jellybean Number 2 in a special series of 4 Co-Branded Podcasts Professor Jules Wendon Jules Wendon is the Professor of Hepatology and Executive Medical Director at Kings College London. When it comes to the intensive care hepatology there are few people that have done more to shape our knowledge and practice than Jules Wendon. Jules travelled to Australia to share her knowledge at the CICM Annual Scientific Meeting. Sharing is a key theme in this interview as Jules insists on crediting her team, all of her team, for their part in the success of Kings. Humble yet inspirational, modest yet brilliant. Have a listen to this short conversation recorded in between her lectures at the CICM ASM in Sydney 2017. The other jellybeans referred to in this interview are Sarah Yong (#62) and Penny Stewar (#13); https://soundcloud.com/thetopend/sarah-yong-cicm-asm-2017 https://soundcloud.com/thetopend/jellybean-13-with-penny-stewart Each year the CICM holds its Annual Scientific Meeting. The Meeting has always been focused upon a single issue or organ system. This year the theme was Gastroenterology entitled “A Gut Reaction; ICU Gastroenterology from beginning to end.” The lectures presented at the meeting have been recorded and will all be shared among the delegates and some will also be shared with all comers via the Intensive Care Network (www.IntensiveCareNetwork.com), the celebrated “#FOAMed” website. (Free Open Access Medical Education.) The organisers of the ASM invited #FOAMed podcaster/interviewer Dr Doug Lynch to come along to engage some of the leading lights of the meeting in conversation and record them. These recordings are the latest in a series of podcasts/blogcasts playfully called “Jellybeans”. They are entirely spontaneous chats with interesting people; short, completely unscripted, 100% unedited and recorded in one take. It is essentially an uninterrupted live recording. The focus is unapologetically on the quality of the conversation rather than the quality of the audio recording. The host of the interview is a fast talking Irish doctor, a jack of all trades but a master of none, a perpetual student and a trainee of the CICM. The “Jellybean” is an itinerant podcast that regularly appears on www.LifeinTheFastLane.com, www.IntensiveCareNetwork.com and many other websites. Over 100 conversations have been recorded with persons of interest. They will appear on iTunes and Google play once the 100th episode is published later this year. The CICM ASM Jellybean series each start with a biographical component and then the conversation follows its own path. The subject matter is usually that which dwells upon the fringes of intensive care medicine; human factors, education, ethics, equality, gender, personal histories, possible futures and all the other challenges that we so often face. Being so they compliment the lectures but do not attempt to repeat them. We hope you enjoy finding out a little more about the people behind the CICM Annual Scientific Meeting. The four CICM x Jellybean co-branded recordings are part of a larger collection. It is only these four that are formally associated with the College. Doug Lynch is not a representative of the college and any views expressed are his own.

Sarah Yong is an impressive person. Advocacy, Training, Representation and being a new fellow of the College of Intensive Care to boot. Theres a lot to talk about when you sit down with Dr Sarah Yong. Let’s make it easier by focussing on three big issues; Gender issues; Women in Intensive Care Network.  Training issues; The Critical Care Collaborative and the Victorian Primary Examination Course for CICM.  The Trainee Symposium at CICM ASM. Representation issues; New Fellows Rep on the Board of the College of Intensive Care Medicine.   Where to start? The Women in Intensive Care Network or W.I.N.. (or on twitter @WomenIntensive) WIN is co-convened by Sarah and Dr Lucy Modra. Sarah gives all the credit to Lucy. I suspect Lucy might do something equally graceful. If my sources are correct there pretty much the same number of women and men out there in the world. Further it seems that there are roughly the same number of women and men presenting to intensive care units. This pattern does not repeat it self in terms of the Intensive Care doctors. Let’s talk about this. Let’s listen to the people that are raising awareness about this. The Women in Intensive Care are talking about it and publishing about it too. You may have heard about the Medical Journal of Australia article; “Female representation at Australasian specialty conferences”.   But they have not stopped proving their point. Next there was “Women in Leadership in Intensive Care Medicine” published in Jean-Louis Vincents open access e-journal “ICU Management and Practice”. There have been only four presidents of the College of Intensive Care, all male. However the pre-cursor to the College was the Joint Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (JFICM), which was the body that actually created the college. The first leader of JFICM was the one and only Dr Felicity Hawker.  Hopefully soon to be published will be a presentation from the Noosa ANZICS CTG (Australia & New Zealand Intensive Care Society Clinical Trials Group) by Dr Naomi Yarwood about the lack of women in the ANZICS CTG studies over the last 20 years. Next Issue; Training. After competing her Fellowship exams Sarah got involved in the Critical Care Collaborative and went on to found the Victorian Primary Examination Course for CICM (VPECC). Running that is a big job in itself. It’s popular too and the July 2017 edition is already full. Sort of. Importantly the candidate stream is full for 2017 but there is a teaching stream too. Have a look at this if you are an aspiring educationalist.

Get in touch with Sarah or the other guys at VPECC.com, if not this year maybe next year? Then she is on the Board of the College of Intensive Care Medicine trying to contribute and trying to gently help the college progress. I’m exhausted already. Have a listen. Be inspired.

A bunch of interesting people who have experience of medical training stretched from Zaria, Nigeria through Leicester, England to Auckland, New Zealand. Which reminds me; may I offer an apology to all New Zealanders for all the times I manage to say Australian rather than Australasian or Australia-New Zealand.
