Sink or swim or trial and error may be acceptable strategies in some situations, but they are hardly applicable when considering a much needed radical transformation in culture of health and wellness. Instead what we need to adopt is what many other fields have clearly relied upon for going from good to great; Coaching! Somehow coaching has been conspicuously missing from a field that is high stakes, high stress and also high yield. Physicians, and clinicians for that matter, are left to figure out everything all on their own once they finish their clinical training. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Brill, MD MBA, a highly successful clinician, a Physician Executive and a certified coach shares her own experience with coaching, the integral role it plays in a physician or clinician's professional and personal life. Takeaways in This Episode Dr. Brill's journey as a physician, an Physician Executive and as a coach The benefits coaching offers in healthcare and for the healthcare professionals The different types of coaching in healthcare Qualities that make one ideally suited for coaching and the kinds of situations which particularly benefit from coaching. The difference between mentorship and coaching Can or should mentorship and coaching combined and what the effects would be. Why coaching seems to be restricted at the executive and the "C suite" level in healthcare Elements of the physician/executive coaching, what it entails, and what the sessions look like Qualities to look for in a coach look for in a coach Links Elizabeth Brill, MD, MBA, FACOG Hudson Institute of Coaching FREE Clinicians' Pain Evaluation Toolkit Proactive Pain Solutions Women's Empowerment and Leadership Initiative About the Guest Elizabeth Brill, MD, MBA Elizabeth Brill MD, MBA, FACOG serves as the Chief Medical Officer, at the Office of Community Care and Senior Advisor to the Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Health for Community Care at the United States Dept. of Veterans Affairs.

How important is it to have a dedicated member of your team focused on starting, maintaining and coordinating your enhanced recovery programme?

The conversation moves into managing pain, both the reality of pain and the expectations which can, if handled correctly, help to reduce it. Finally, what are the three key aptitudes that an enhanced recovery coordinator needs? Presented by Desiree Chappell with Korey Springman, Anesthesiologist and Perioperative Medicine Fellow at Duke University and Vicki Morton, Director of Clinical and Quality Outcomes at Providence Anesthesiology Associates and Courtney Fossen, Manager of Surgical Services at US Anesthesia Partners (USAP).

"Jeopardy" game show host Alex Trebek discovered in March 2019 that he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer, the same illness that struck Steve Jobs, Patrick Swayze and Ruth Bade Ginsburg, to name a few well know people. He has handled the situation with the heart of a hero, and it has been a grueling process. There has been tremendous pain, fatigue, sadness and disappointment after having short-lived evidence that the disease had gone into remission. He has been very public in his disclosures about his condition, and he's staring it down in the most unflinching manner. DR. JORDAN WINTER brings his expertise to the subject of pancreatic cancer. He is the Chief of Surgical Oncology at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio and he's the Director of Surgical Services at the Seidman Cancer Center. His clinical interest lies with the management of pancreatic and related cancers, and he has been a principal investigator on multiple clinical trials.

How important is it to have a dedicated member of your team focused on starting, maintaining and coordinating your enhanced recovery programme? Does an enhanced recovery programme which comes from the grassroots need support early on in the process? How do you find the right people to support you once the process has begun? Also, how do you explain that these changes will actually reduce workload? The conversation moves into managing pain, both the reality of pain and the expectations which can, if handled correctly, help to reduce it. Finally, what are the three key aptitudes that an enhanced recovery coordinator needs? Presented by Desiree Chappell with Korey Springman, Anesthesiologist and Perioperative Medicine Fellow at Duke University and Vicki Morton, Director of Clinical and Quality Outcomes at Providence Anesthesiology Associates and Courtney Fossen, Manager of Surgical Services at US Anesthesia Partners (USAP).

Resources Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation by Bob Roth News Roundup Net neutrality is officially gone The FCC’s repeal of the 2015 net neutrality rules went into effect yesterday, Monday June 11th. The Hill predicts that you won’t see any immediate changes to internet speeds or new paid prioritization schemes, but concludes that that’s only because carriers are going to be on their best behavior as the repeal winds its ways through the courts and Congress continues to push for legislation. The status of Congressional Review Act proposals are still very uncertain as proponents have been unable to secure enough Republican votes. Ex-Senate intelligence aide charged for FBI leaks The DOJ has charged James Wolfe, who for nearly 30 years served as the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Director of Security, for leaking FBI intelligence to four reporters, including a New York Times reporter, Ali Watkins, with whom he had a 3 year relationship. Wolf is alleged to have used encrypted messaging apps to leak the info to reporters. Amidst uncertainty regarding Chinese device makers, Senator Warner pressures Google and Twitter Senator Mark Warner is seeking information from Google and Twitter about their relationships with Chinese phone makers like Huawei and ZTE. Just to give you some background here, the Commerce Department has already fined ZTE $1.19 billion for dealing with Iran and North Korea in violation of trade agreements that China had with the U.S. But on Squawkbox last Thursday, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross announced a fresh batch of $1 billion in sanctions against ZTE for misleading regulators and failing to discipline employees. ZTE has also had to put $400 million in escrow in case they violate the trade agreement again. Ouch. But Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer says the sanctions don’t go far enough. So he and Senator Tom Cotton introduced a bipartisan amendment to the National Defense Authoprization Act (NDAA) to restore additional sanctions including the original ban against government agencies buying or leasing from ZTE or Huawei, which is also caught in the cross-hair of all this. And Democratic Senator Mark Warner is also pressuring Twitter and Google to provide information on how they work with Chinese phone makers. Facebook announced last week that it had granted Huawei and other Chinese phone makers access to user data, opening up a brand new can of worms against the social media giant amidst the ongoing Cambridge Analytica fiasco. Verizon has a news CEO Verizon has a new CEO. Hans Vestberg will replace Lowell McAdam on August 1st. Vestberg joined the company about a year ago as Chief Tehnology Officer. U.S . sanctions firms linked to Russia The U.S. Treasury Department has prohibited 5 Russian firms and 3 Russian nationals from doing business in the U.S. because they allegedly helped the Kremlin conduct cyber attacks. Just a few days ago, President Trump called for Russia’s readmittance to the G-7. In addition, security experts at Cisco are warning that Russian hacks of home routers is more widespread than we initially thought. Washington State is suing Google/Facebook for political ads Washington State is suing Google and Facebook for allegedly failing to disclose who bought political election ads. Their Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, wants access to names, addresses, and the cost of political ads sold. Google, Facebook and Twitter have each announced new policies for political ad disclosures.
