The autopsy has wide-ranging benefits on medicine, public health, and research. However, the rates of autopsies performed in the hospital have declined tremendously over the past several decades. The autopsy, accordingly, is often overlooked in medical education today. Emily Hagen, MD, has taken great interest in this.  In this episode, we speak with Emily (former Medicus producer!) about her firsthand experiences with the autopsy, dating back to her pre-med days and continuing throughout her time at Stritch School of Medicine. She is a fierce advocate for the autopsy's incorporation into medical education. While a medical student, Emily researched non-pathologist physicians' experiences with and views toward the autopsy and she launched an autopsy observation program for Loyola medical students. The associated research has been presented at multiple academic conferences. She also helped to curate Autopsy/Forensic Pathology modules for the PathElective, an internationally utilized resource.  As an aspiring internist, Emily discusses the relevance of the autopsy to physicians and the medical community at large.  Tune in now to learn more about this important and interesting topic!  To connect with Emily, email her at esh73@cornell.edu.  Episode produced by: Rasa Valiauga Episode recording date: 6/4/24 www.medicuspodcast.com | medicuspodcast@gmail.com  | Donate: http://bit.ly/MedicusDonate

[2:12] Good to see you again, Linda. Thank you for having me back. To start, can you give everybody an overview of the distinctive elements to the Loyola Stritch approach to medical education? [2:27] Well, we're one of four Jesuit medical schools in the country so I think that by virtue of that, there tends to be an understanding within the collective consideration of our institution about the path to medicine being similar to that of one who discerns their vocation very comprehensively. So within the scope of that discernment, we apply a lot of the same principles that might be applied in any kind of Jesuit environment, which is to obviously think of others first in supporting efforts that are more social justice oriented, being a global thinker, to be proactive and engaged when you sense or see a problem, that you don't resist the urge to do something about it, that you are putting into motion perhaps an understanding of the situation, and then utilizing your resources to understand what needs to be done, and then pursuing a path to mitigate that which you see as an injustice or an inadequacy or an inefficiency. And I believe that within the scope of that also is the added element of compassion for others, not just that you're supporting the goals of others, that you're helping others, but that you have a passion to do that and a passion to build equality among populations where that may not be the case. So if you apply that Jesuit ideal within the realm of education, which is where I'm pursuing my doctorate. I'm about a year away, but the thing that helped me affirm the sort of Jesuit pedagogy is taking classes myself, not in the medical school, but adjacent in another program because then I could understand the pedagogical link. I could understand reflection as a means to solve problems, I can then understand why principally we focus our efforts on underserved populations, because of the opportunity that exists to help a great number who are underserved, but also the potential to mitigate further consequences as a result of their being ignored. These are all essential elements of the Jesuit culture.

You read that right, Father AND Doctor. It doesn't get any more Loyola than that. But how does a physician with a private practice in Dayton, Ohio find themselves being called to become a Jesuit Priest on the Red Lake Reservation in Northern Minnesota? Join Katherine as she sits down with the Stritch School of Medicine's much beloved Father Doctor David DeMarco as they discuss his childhood, dual calling, and reflective practice.

His areas of clinical and research interest include advocacy, advising, NBME subject exam assessment, and underserved medicine. Finding an exceptional mentor is an integral part of any professional career, but it can be particularly invaluable for those in the early part of their careers in medicine. Today, Dr. Fitz speaks about starting and sustaining effective mentoring relationships, how the natural tension can actually work out in your favor, and what it really means to be a great follower & leader when it comes to receiving and accepting guidance. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Being a good leader means having a vision, communicating it effectively, working on and enabling a successful team, and surrounding yourself with people you can trust. 2. Natural tension is common in a mentor/mentee relationship. If it's present, you shouldn't give up and walk away, especially since these relationships tend to be the most successful. 3. When working with a mentor, be respectful of their limited time. To show this, be readily available, specify the big picture, identify where you need help, and follow up afterwards.

Melissa Briones, MD, is the Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program and a Rheumatologist at Loyola University. Dr. Briones was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and attended Loyola's Stritch School of Medicine. She then stayed at Loyola to complete her Internal Medicine Residency, Chief Residency, and Rheumatology Fellowship training. She devotes much of her time as associate program director to recruiting efforts along with helping to oversee the research curriculum. Dr. Briones particularly enjoys curriculum development and teaching and is especially interested in helping residents successfully prepare for the ABIM exam. She also loves teaching medical students and serves as the Clerkship Director for the fourth year medical student subinternship wards rotation. Where do kindness and success intersect? Today, Dr. Melissa Briones makes an excellent point about the changing definition of success: As we evolve, we might find that success becomes less about personal gain, and more about enriching the lives of others. And when we realize that kindness most often means putting others first—we realize that success and kindness work in tandem. Dr. Briones also advises us that adapting organized habits and good time management skills are important to start now. And that lessons in compassion are of the most valuable to us as physicians. She leaves us with this: Patients will never know your board scores, but within thirty seconds they will know whether they feel comfortable putting their health in your hands. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. When it comes to asking for help, don't wait: Start that process now. We need to generate the experience of asking for help and receiving it so the positive cycle continues. 2. Kindness and success are more similar than we think. When our definition of success becomes more about helping others, and we realize kindness is about putting others' first, we are able to see those two as being equal. 3. Stay humble. As a physician, you will make mistakes. But if you weren't humble when you made them, it will really stick.

An inside look at the impact of COVID with Darrell Nabers [Show summary] Darrell Nabers, Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment at Loyola University of Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine, shares how the school is adapting its program and admissions policies to life in the time of COVID-19. Changes to Loyola Stritch's program and admissions practices as a result of the COVID pandemic [Show notes] Our guest today is Darrell Nabers, Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment at Loyola University of Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine. Darrell earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Whittier College and Golden State University, respectively. He then held various admissions positions from 2000 to 2005 before joining the University of Chicago's admissions staff where he served in different roles until 2015. He joined Loyola Chicago Stritch in 2015 as Director of Admissions and became Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment in February 2019. Darrell was a guest on the podcast last year for Episode 325. Our latest interview focuses on the changes to Loyola Stritch's program, and specifically its admissions practices as a result of the COVID pandemic. How is the Loyola Stritch medical school program different today due to COVID-19 than it was a year ago? [2:19] It's very different. One example would be the fact that I am speaking to you from my home and not from my office. We as a staff have been working from home since March 20th. There have been discussions about when we'll return to the building. They have not yielded a decision, and because we're part of a larger institution with an undergraduate campus and the graduate campuses, that has to be a unified decision. As a health sciences division, we have been able to advocate for our third and fourth year students to get back into their courses, which has happened. So we have third years who are doing mostly didactic-structured content for the first couple of months before they begin their rotations. The fourth years had to take a pause on their clerkship training when the COVID crisis hit, and this allowed them to make up the clerkships before we had third years overlapping with them. That's a difficult thing to do, to have two classifications overlap and then the third shift. Once the fourth years make up the clerkship rotations in the next few weeks, then the third years will move into theirs, but they're currently participating in clinical simulations and exercises and mostly virtual content, but we'll be back in the clerkships soon. And then of course, the fourth years move into their sub-I’s and electives. For the first and second years, we are virtual. So there's an asynchronous curriculum which allows students to log in and conduct their coursework. There are also live lectures that are provided through a virtual platform. The goal is to bring both groups back at some point this year. We have preliminarily determined the early part of October for the first years to be back on, to actually be on campus for the first time. It's just going to require attention to the different health mandates by the state. Our main campus made a plan early to bring undergraduates back to campus, and then this last week we were told that they're not going to have students on campus for the foreseeable future. So again, I think a lot of things are in flux. When it comes to the decision to reopen the school, talking about changes, obviously we'll be wearing hospital-grade masks, we'd be wearing PPE, and the building will be tied to a hospital, so when we're within the medical school, we'll be wearing masks. There'll be compulsory daily screenings, temperature checks, a questionnaire, and an application that all of us will have on our phones to check in. And obviously, if there are symptoms, if anyone's symptomatic, then there's self-isolation protocols that we have for students. And then for staff, obviously we have protocols for staff and facul...

In today’s episode we dive deep into the topic of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, one of the newer emerging modalities in the field of medicine. We sit down to discuss with Dr. Timothy Buckley, a clinical psychiatrist at the Edward Hines VA system to discuss the what the current research is telling us, why this is so exciting for the field of psychiatry and how this new therapy will fit into medicine in the future. Before we hop into our discussion, we wanted to make sure that our listeners understand that this episode is intended to be for general informational purposes only and is not to be interpreted as an endorsement for use. Dr. Buckley’s discussion today is not meant to represent the views or policy of the VA hospital system, but are rather an expression of his own academic interests in this evolving therapeutic modality. Furthermore, listeners should be aware that the inappropriate use of these compounds carry real consequences including both the potential for physiologic harm as well as potential legal ramifications, as these substances are currently considered schedule 1 drugs by the DEA. With that said, please enjoy this discussion with Dr. Timothy Buckley Bio - Dr. Buckley grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He attended Western Michigan University where he received a BA in English and Spanish. He then worked with the mentally ill in rehabilitation centers for several years before returning to school to obtain a medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine and later did his residency in psychiatry at the University of Kansas Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in Geriatric Psychiatry from NW University. He now works at Hines VA medical center and teaches Loyola’s Stritch School of Medicine.

Interview with Darrel Nabers, Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine [Show Summary] Darrel Nabers, Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, is our guest today, and he shares details about the differences between Stritch and other allopathic medical schools in Chicago, how Stritch winnowed their initial applicant pool of 15,000+ to a class of 170, what they are looking for in a successful candidate, and how the admissions process works. Listen in! Get into Loyola Stritch School of Medicine [Show Notes] Our guest today is Darrel Nabers, Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. Darrell earned his bachelors and masters degrees from Whittier College and Golden Gate University respectively. He then held various admissions positions from 2000 to 2005 before joining the University of Chicago’s admission staff, where he served in different roles until 2015. He joined Loyola Chicago Stritch in 2015 as Director of Admissions and became Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment in February 2019. What is distinctive about the Loyola Stritch approach to medical education? [2:15] A Jesuit education is pretty rare, and we are the only one in Chicago, though there are five other allopathic schools in Chicago. Having been at another medical school what I think is different is the service orientation, with the program actively promoting service-related events, advocating for DACA students when no one else was admitting them. It becomes clear when you are here that students are positive and compassionate people, and receptive to insights of people from lots of different backgrounds and experiences. They also have global networks from conducting service each year. In terms of relationship with the community, students possess an effective sense of inquiry and love of learning, with students taking that inquisition and looking at society in very different ways with the aim of improving society, assistance, care, and empathy, especially with those on the margins of society. Bioethics and ministry are also part of the foundation in the coursework. With the global health honors track the coursework is elective based, and you become a member of the bioethics team. With the ministry effort, it is a physician vocation program, an immersive track that is an elective and covers a different set of goals each year of the program, in order to achieve understanding of the Ignatian spiritual dynamism and focus on medicine and medical care. Last year you received 15,015 applications per AAMC and you whittled it down to 165 students. How did you do it? [9:30] We made a concerted effort to focus our recruiting on Jesuit undergraduate schools. We also are largely attracting students from out of state, so to find those students we focus on the west coast, southeast, and northeast. The largest number of students come from California. 1 out of every 4 people west of the Mississippi River lives in California, so with population dynamics, age, and the dearth of medical school programs on the west coast, we become an automatic consideration, as the next largest metro area going east is Chicago. We also utilize the MCAT registry as kind of a cold call. Once we receive the primary application, just about everybody receives the secondary application (one exception is the citizenship issue). Our secondary application is quite dense, and that automatically narrows the field (this past year down to 10K) since some applicants choose not to complete it. We have a rigorous holistic review of the secondary, with staff, students, and faculty reviewing each application, and by internal scoring method applicants are considered for interviews. Each admissions cycle we invite 700 interview candidates, and we start interviews in late August. So, for those who are interested,

Anybody who has taken an Anatomy course can tell you about their eccentric Anatomy professor. It seems that a unique personality is a prerequisite to teaching this course that has been a vital part of the medical school curriculum for so long. On this episode of Medicus, Neal and our guest host, Hye-Jin Yun, welcome Dr. Dauzvardis, anatomy professor at the Stritch School of Medicine. Together they discuss Dr. D’s journey to becoming an anatomy professor and the experiences that shaped him into becoming an educator for student doctors.

One of the most difficult questions that patients can ask a healthcare provider is “why me?”. To complicate things further, this question is often posed with spiritual or religions undertones, i.e. “why is X, Y, Z god doing this to me?” While healthcare providers seek to treat the physical, at one point in their career they will be challenged to respond to questions of spiritual and religious doubt. This is no easy task, as studies have shown that spiritual care is an enigmatic area for healthcare providers with multiple barriers (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28249545?log$=activity;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24480531). John Hardt, Ph.D. is the Vice President for Mission Integration for Trinity Health Illinois and Associate Provost for Mission and Identity at Loyola University Chicago Health Sciences Division. In his capacity as Vice President, he is responsible for the implementation, growth, and assessment of Trinity Health’s mission and ethics portfolio across the region. His grant research has focused on Ignatian spirituality and the formation of physicians and launched The Physicians’ Vocation Program, a four-year program for medical students at Loyola’s Stritch School of Medicine interested in exploring the concept of vocation in their own lives as future doctors.

For students hoping to go through the rigorous process of becoming a physician, the challenge begins before they even set foot in a school. Navigating the application process is a daunting task. In 2018, medical schools in the US admitted, on average, just 4.1% of the applicants to their school (https://www.aamc.org/data/facts/applicantmatriculant/). That translates to 41% of the total 52,777 applicants claiming a spot in the first year class at a medical school this year. With thousands of qualified applicants vying for less than 200 spots, how does an admissions department approach the process of selecting the young men and women who will become future doctors representing their institution? To find out, we sat down with Sunny Nakae, former Assistant Dean for Admissions at Loyola’s Stritch School of Medicine. Sunny Nakae is Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Associate Clinical Professor of Health Sciences at the University of CA Riverside School of Medicine. Prior to her role at UCR, Dr. Nakae served as Assistant Dean for Admissions, Recruitment and Student Life at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. She has been in medical education since 2001 and loves sharing in the journeys of students. Dr. Nakae is a passionate ally and advocate for social justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion in medicine.
