Passengers are finally getting off the cruise ship where there was an outbreak of hantavirus, and now there are concerns about travelers returning home to cities across the U.S. and around the world. The CDC says it is monitoring passengers, but what are experts saying now that a few days have passed since the outbreak? Susan Hassig, an associate professor in the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, joins Scoot to share more about the subject.

This hour, Scoot talks to Susan Hassig, Associate Professor in the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, to give insight about the hantavirus.

On today's show, Scoot invited Susan Hassig, Associate Professor in the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine to give insight about the hantavirus. Scoot also talks about the success of the Oklahoma City Thunder NBA basketball team, a café in Japan where the waitresses dress up as French maids and have to tell customers they're 17 years old, and Trump saying Iran's peace proposal is weak. Finally, Scoot talks about Billie Eilish saying can't really call yourself an animal lover if you eat meat.

I'm delighted today to be joined by Dr. Joseph Skelton, professor of Pediatrics, founder and director of Brenner Fit, a program at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. FIT stands for Families in Training, which is a family-based pediatric obesity program. He's the author of a new book on children and their weight, a topic we discussed in a separate podcast. But in this podcast, we're talking about something he teaches at Wake Forest, a course in culinary medicine. This is a fascinating, pioneering area of focus, so let's dig in. Interview Transcript There's a lot of language about medicine and nutrition now, so people talk about food as medicine. There's a move afoot to get more training and nutrition and medical education, and here you are doing culinary medicine. Tell me how all these things differ from one another. Our interest in this here at Wake Forest School Medicine started a little organically with our program. A lot of what we do is focus on family meals. There are decades of research showing the benefits of family meals, not only for the nutrition and obesity risk, but the quality of nutrition, time spent together, parent child communication. Kids are less likely to get pregnant or do drugs and alcohol. All these things from just spending that time together over the meal. And I inherited a small teaching kitchen that was at a local organization that someone before me had gotten funding for. And we, sort of, took it over and used this opportunity to teach families how to cook. And a lot of families know how to cook but trying foods in different ways and to get kids involved and things like that. Then a couple years after that, the local YMCA approached us. They had some space and wanted to do this as a partnership. So I became a fundraising machine for a year or two and took a lot of dinners to raise the funds. And we built this gorgeous teaching kitchen, and we were mainly doing it in the efforts of sort childhood obesity treatment or prevention, getting families, teaching them new recipes, which then kind of extended to that whole key thing of getting families just to be comfortable in the kitchen and spending that time together. And we just started seeing these amazing things. We always say we've converted more kids to Brussels sprouts than I think any other effort of just getting them cooking it a different way. You and I were both probably raised with steamed Brussels sprouts, which I think is an abomination. If you really want to highlight the sulfur smell of a food, then you're going to steam it. And so, we really started to do that. And then students started volunteering. Actually, it was a student, Josh Patman, he's an emergency medicine physician now at East Carolina University, and he was a cook in a professional kitchen college. And he said, hey, could I help volunteer with that? And then more student medical students wanted to do it. And then we all found that you, much like I did, I'm a self-taught cook myself, and the more time you spend in that, the more you learn, the more comfortable you are. And the more you start to know, you know, I can teach med students nutrition all day, but that doesn't teach them how to get nutrition on their patients' plates, into their mouth. And so it really grew from there. And then I, kind of, stumbled upon what other people were doing. It started in New York, but the biggest program started was really Tulane School of Medicine that had it as a very focused way about teaching nutrition through cooking. Not just on a blackboard through PowerPoint slides and stuff like that of like hey, let's teach it in a different way. And the old-fashioned analogy, and actually the medical educators hate this, it used to be see one, do one, teach one. That was sort of the old surgical thing. And so, it's really you got to see how to make a recipe and you got to do it yourself. And what we found that when students start then teaching each other, or teaching patients or teaching community members, it really drives home and gives them a much deeper understanding of what nutrition in the real world is. Let's talk about the need for this. If we go back in time and we think about your parents or my parents, you know, the likelihood is that meals were being prepared from the real foods rather than from a package, let's say, or in a micro. How are things different now for the modern parent that has kept people distanced from their food and where it comes from, and that's led families to be distant because they're not having meals together as much? What does that look like now? Yeah, pulling from our own history, you know, Home Ec is not really a thing anymore. We did this study in our own med students. You know, most of their cooking, nutrition, the nutrition education they're getting tends to be the popular media. They're learning it from social media. Very few students have a degree in nutrition or took a nutrition class. And as much as we have to cram into medical student's education, there's not much room for it. They mainly learn to cook from their families. And what we know is families are cooking less and less for multiple reasons. They're much busier. Especially parents, actually parents of kids of all ages with that. And again, the marketing of food, you know, it's much easier to get ready made meals. And I'm not badmouthing those, you know. We're in talks right now of actually writing a cookbook for families, and one of the things that we promise is we're going to have a chapter on assembled meals. You know, having a pre-made salad with a rotisserie chicken, that's still going to be a better thing to do if you bring that home, sit at a table or at a bar or around a coffee table and eat that meal together. It's still going to be better for your family in multiple ways on multiple levels than eating out. And what I see, it really with families right now when it comes to actually raising "healthy eaters" or raising good eaters is when we... and again, I love a good restaurant, I'm not trying to badmouth that... but when you're going out to eat a lot of kids have endless choices and there's two issues. One is a paradox of choice. Whatever they get, they're always going to think that other thing might have been better. And it doesn't allow them to spread their palate and try different foods and get exposed to different things. And we always laugh... whenever in this field we want to play a drinking game where every time you say complex or complexity, you take a drink because, but it is such a complex issue with parents. You know, with kids and getting meals on the table. And hopefully finding some time, whether it's a breakfast or it's a dinner, but finding that time to come together around a meal. You mentioned the paradox of choice. I was reminded at one point I downloaded this cute app called You Choose or something like that. And it would help you make a decision if you were undecided. It would flip a coin, it would roll a dice. It would do, yes, no, it would do rock, paper, scissors, it would do all these things. And I was at a restaurant once. I couldn't decide between two entrees, so I used it. I did rock, paper, scissors, or something, and I then it said, okay you should choose X. So I ordered X and the second I ordered it, I immediately thought I should have ordered Y. Alright, so tell us about culinary medicine. What does this course look like that you teach? Yeah, the best way to think about it is applied nutrition. Because again, you can understand a ton about nutrition, but if that doesn't change into you getting the foods that you want in front of you, to me it's almost theoretical or scientific. It's applied nutrition. It's this idea of teaching some very basic cooking skills, and then including within that very core elements of nutrition. And for us, we tend to do it by the balanced plate. We think that works really well for families. But having it be very real world. You know, so again, we have recipes... in two weeks, I'm doing one... we're doing a rotisserie chicken and you're breaking it apart and making a chicken salad out of it. We were always teaching using microwavable rice and a couple of the students cornered me and said, this is very offensive to my culture. You need to teach people how to make real rice. But what it looks like for us is about a quarter, almost a third of med students will rotate through these classes. So, it's voluntary. Next year we're actually hopefully going to surpass half of the first-year med school class. That's unbelievable. That's very impressive. Well, especially up until last year I was doing this in my free time and paying for it with fundraising money. But yeah, Wake Forest is really behind this now. But about a quarter to a third of med students. They do five classes. And it's set up and again, that sort of theme of that family meal. They come in and we get stuff cooking. We get stuff in the oven; we get stuff on the stove top. We usually take some time out for a very short lecture. Again, tends to be very practical stuff. We include a lot about social determinants of health and food insecurity. Given what I do, we talk about picky eating. Very little do we go into details about Mediterranean diet and Dash diet and some of the really core things with that. We really just try to keep it about getting that balanced plate of a protein, a starch and a fruit or vegetable on the plate in front of you. They come back and usually finish what they're cooking, and then they sit down to eat together. And unlike when I was in med school and you were in grad school, or when you were teaching, a lot of students don't go to class anymore. A lot of students, they record the lectures so they can listen to them at one and a quarter speed and study in the best way for them. I love getting to know my students on a different level of sitting down. And that's what my really own exposure to medical student education anymore is really through this, which to me is just the ultimate. Being able to sit down, teach them some interesting things, eat a meal with them. Given my chemistry background, I love getting into the science of a lot of the stuff. And I think for them being, you know, sort of STEM kids, it makes a lot more sense. One of my favorite things is the science of grilling, you know, the science of garlic, you know, things like that. And it helps them sort of understand and helps them remember that, and also peppering it with the stories. It just tends to stick that much more when they know the science, they know the story, they know the culture behind it. So, it's five classes. It's all set up that way, that there's a short lecture. They're preparing everything they can and they're eating it. Again, we include some very easy stuff. One of the classes we do microwaveable vegetables because that's what a lot of what their patients are doing. The bagged vegetable medleys. And one, the important thing that we teach them is most of these don't have any seasoning. So yeah, you can microwave them, but you have got to teach your patients throw a bit of olive oil on there, throw a pad of butter, do some salt and pepper, add some other spices to it. And they go nuts with one group will do some more Indian spices. One group will do more sort of traditional, one to do more Asian flavorings to it in our teaching kitchen. It's really teaching very practical things like that. The fun part of that, that's really spun onto the other things that I'll tell you about, is about half of those students that do that- we have about 18 per semester- and about half those students end up volunteering with us. They come to the classes that we have that are community focused. Now some of the students are going through lead teacher training. They get Serve Safe Certified. It's awesome for me and my staff because it saves us a lot of time and overtime that they come in, they let themselves in the kitchen, they set up, they run the class, they clean up, and they can't get enough of it. They absolutely love it. Now you do some celebration of different food cultures in your class. Tell, tell us about that. Including, as I understand, some of the food culture that you grew up with. Yeah. Yeah. That, that's about, that was a big understatement right there. We just love that and that's a great thing. Wake Forest, being a private medical school, kids are from all over the country, from all different backgrounds. And so, we absolutely sort of herald that. One of the things I love doing is class three is a plant-based proteins class. The first class is a general cooking class. The second class has a focus on animal proteins, and again, we're always also cooking vegetables and fruits and starches. The third class is plant-based proteins, and I do that as Southern cooking. And I just love that sort of theme with that. So, we do pinto beans, you know, And the slow cooker. We tell them how to use instant pots, pressure cookers. We do black eyed peas. A lot of these kids don't know that you're supposed to eat that on New Year's Day. I do a vegetarian collard green recipe, taught to me by a local chef. And I think this is probably my number one post that I do in social media is cornbread night. And teaching them how to make cast iron skillet cornbread, which is the only way to do cornbread in my book. And letting them know, sort of, the background of a lot of the stuff. My wife is from South Carolina, so I teach them great thing about cornbread if you're a poor student, is you have a slice with your beans and your collard greens, and then for dessert you put honey on. Which is what I picked up in South Carolina. So, you know, really celebrating that stuff. We have a whole Spanish speaking program, and we have an article written, we just haven't found the right journal for it. It says, leave my tortilla out of this. Instead of, you know, saying, oh, you have to eat less tortillas, celebrate it. Why is that such an important part of not even that culture, but this family's food history and stuff like that. Because food is personal, it's cultural, its family, and it's to be celebrated. We do a fourth-year elective, it's the last full elective of their fourth-year class and a very lucky 20 students get to do that class. And we always have one called Family Night where they bring a dish that's important to them and their family. And it could be like me, it was the roasted chicken that one of my classmates in med school cooked. And I just thought that was so exotic. You know, I never had a whole roasted chicken before. You know, we had a student that had spent the first part of her life in Australia, so she did pavlova and told the history about where the pavlova came from. Now that's considered sort of the national dessert of Australia. And I always remember this one student, he was going to emergency medicine, very quiet kid. And he's over there cooking these porridges. That's the only way I could describe it is just these porridges. We said, what are you doing? And he told the most amazing story. I almost tear up when I talk about it. His grandfather fled Saddam Hussein. He was Iraqi Christian and fled Saddam Hussein and his grandfather lived with them. And this was their afterschool snack. Was this Iraqi dish that his grandfather would make. And there was a sweet one and there was a savory one. And so just stuff like that is... it's fantastic. I just, I can't get enough of that. And they remember that. And so, as students leave us, and I just came from Match Day where they found out where they're spending the next three to seven years of their life. And I always say wherever you're going, learn something about that culture and that food. If you're moving to Cincinnati, you have got to learn about Cincinnati Chili and getta. take something from that. I did all my training in Wisconsin and the Wisconsin supper clubs and how you can tell what a fresh cheese curd is, and it's just... food is fantastic. And we can take that with us wherever we go. And it can give you a way to know your patients even better. And when I hear of a family that they're from West Africa, ah, you like Jollof Rice. And their face lights up and like, oh yeah, where'd you have Jollof rice? So, it's a great way to get to know more about people. So, there's way more to it than cooking technique. I mean, there's, you know, you roast a chicken that this temperature for that long, or here's how long you microwave. It's really a lot more than that, isn't it? It's just like medicine. It's science and an art. And you know that one of my most popular lectures I give does not have to do with obesity but has to do with barbecue and all the different styles of barbecue. And what is just amazing, despite what we know about the science of taking spareribs, which are an incredibly tough cut of meat, and you have to cook them low and slow to get that temperature up. I think it's 189 degrees or higher where you start to get the collagen that breaks down and they turn tender. So yeah, spareribs to be good tender and edible, you're talking four to six hours. But then you go to Tuscaloosa, Alabama and you go to Dreamland Barbecue. They do spareribs over live coals for an hour and a half. I sat there talking to the person doing it. I'm like, you must bake them ahead of time. Do you soak them? And he's just like, nope. And so again, I know the science of that. So how do these jokers do that for an hour and a half, and it turns out in what my opinion are the greatest bear ribs in the world. Oh really? Oh, I'll have to try. I'll have to try that place out. Yeah, there's several. Birmingham has two there. There's several in Southeast and they cook them for an hour and a half. Over live coals. Violating every scientific principle of low and slow. Don't get it. It's fascinating. That sounds really good. Yeah. Well, Joey, thanks very much. One final question. Do you see this... is this a movement in medicine now or more and more people doing this? Yeah, you know, it was really big for a while. Tulane had so much. You know, they were sharing their curriculum and they were doing some good research. And that's where a lot of what you see now as the food is medicine food is medicine or as medicine where hey, we need to find ways to get medically tailored meals in the patient's hands. There's really good evidence of that with diabetes and stuff like that. I think what you're seeing now is, I think especially with some of our efforts in the government right now, is sort of demanding more nutrition education in medical school. And I'm going to double down on culinary medicine because you know what? My students, myself, I don't need to know more about the biochemistry of carbohydrates. I need to know the biochemistry of cooking and how to do that quickly and safely to teach my patients. And also, with that, we have to forget, there's an entire field that's already doing this, you know? Dietetics and nutrition and there's professionals that probably are way better than us. But I think having this increased understanding, especially dwelling in that food space, is going to help us relate to them that much more. So even though I do a lot of nutritional counseling and talking, I still use my dieticians way more. I think they're going to be way better at that. So I think there is a lot of steam building towards that, but we don't need to turn doctors into junior dieticians. But I think we can give them deeper understanding of how food and nutrition affects their health and the broader aspects of that. It's not about the biochemistry of insulin secretion, it's about where are they accessing food and how can they make use of the food pantry near them. And let them know, hey, it's okay when you open a can of beans it's gonna smell like cat food initially, but you know what? You wash that off and actually it's not going taste like cat food. And you know, just kind of be able to work with them. Hey, canned beans are perfectly fine. Guess what? Canned beans now are coming in no salt added and low salt preparations. And here's an easy way that you could take these canned great northern beans, chop up some herbs with olive oil and a chunk of garlic and you can make some fantastic bean recipe that is incredibly filling and healthy and cheap as dirt. Oh, that's really nice. Well, this is an exciting advance in the field and you're really at the forefront of it, and your students are lucky that they have this available to them. So, thanks very much for being with us and sharing your experience. Well and what the big secret about this is, Kelly, is this is fantastic. I love doing it. Our med school really values it, but it's a lot of fun. That's the thing. You can tell just by the way you're talking about it. It is so much fun. And again, I just saw all my students that were graduating. And that some of these I hadn't seen in three years and they're like doing Doctors in the Kitchen and then seeing patients, they're cooking and being able to relate to them in those ways. I just have a text from one of my students going to family medicine, and she's like, this changed the trajectory in my career. And I'm not taking credit for that, but just the idea of giving that experience I think especially in my world to medical students, I absolutely love it. In the end it's a hell of a lot of fun.

I've gotten some great reviews about our episode before, so can't wait to chat with you again. Thank you for the wonderful feedback.  To start, can you give us an overview of Tulane Medical's program focusing on its more distinctive aspects and elements? [2:11] Sure, Tulane School of Medicine is right in the heart of downtown New Orleans, Louisiana in the south. Our focus is mainly on really helping our community here in New Orleans. Now we have students that come from all over. The mission of our school is healing communities, and that's what everything about our school is focused on, whether it's curriculum, whether it's extracurricular activities, whether it's research, it's all focused on healing communities and we're trying to do that here in the New Orleans community. It's interesting that you say you're focused on healing communities, not individuals. Normally you think about doctors treating individuals, but this is a little bit different focus. [2:55] When we say healing communities, yes, individuals are part of the community, but as a whole, our goal is to really help the community because communities help themselves. It can't be this big institution that's talking down to the community, talking to individuals, lecturing communities, lecturing individuals about what they need to do. It has to be a partnership, and so it helps that Tulane is really partnering with the community in the community. Our students are living in the community. Our doctors and faculty are living in the community, so they have a vested interest in this. And so yes, individuals are part of the community, but overall we're really trying to focus on healing communities. What's new at Tulane since we last spoke? It's almost exactly two years ago. [3:49] I would say there are a couple of new things that we have going on. It doesn't really pertain per se to the medical school, but it will affect us. In the fall we have a new nursing program that started, and the good thing about that is, once it goes again with our mission of healing communities,

The city of New Orleans isn't known for being easy to get around if you have a disability. It can even be hard to find a place to work out. But now, there's Split Second Fitness, a gym specifically designed for people with disabilities. Louisiana Considered's Managing Producer Alana Schreiber takes us inside.  These days, many storefronts across downtown Baton Rouge are vacant. But now, the Downtown Development District and Baton Rouge Area Chamber are partnering in an effort to identify empty storefronts and recruit businesses to fill the spots. Whitney Hoffman Sayal, executive director of the Downtown Development District in Baton Rouge, tells us more. A recent study from  Tulane found that racial and ethnic health inequities cost the U.S. economy $450 billion dollars in one year. These costs are a sharp increase from previous years when a similar study was conducted  and shows the disparities in healthcare costs for people of color. Thomas LaVeist, dean of the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, tells us more about this study and the economic burden of health inequities.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

The orange skies must have been a premonition for the news that former President Donald Trump has been indicted on federal charges.

The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as: “An unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage. Pain is both a disease and a symptom.” The inclusion of the word emotional in the definition alludes to the fact that consciousness is part of the pain pathway. Despite the knowledge that neurocognitive aspects of human psychology are intimately related to pain, very little research exists examining behavioral interventions. In this month's RAPM Focus, Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, joins Jessie Markovits, MD, the lead author of “Effects of hypnosis versus enhanced standard of care on postoperative opioid use after total knee arthroplasty: the HYPNO-TKA randomized clinical trial,” first published in June 2022 (https://rapm.bmj.com/content/47/9/534). In this provocative study, 64 patients got either a 10-minute hypnosis session or an enhanced control during a hospital medicine pre-op visit before total knee arthroplasty. Dr. Jessie Markovits completed medical school at Tulane School of Medicine in New Orleans, followed by an internal medicine residency at Stanford. Her current appointment is associate professor of medicine, with a courtesy appointment to psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University. She is board-certified in internal medicine and has developed a perioperative specialization over the past 6 years in her clinical role as surgical co-management hospitalist, primarily for orthopedic surgery. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Dennis remembers when he realized how much the Christmas season means to him, a Jew… A New Jersey school holds a private drag show by students for faculty. Parents not invited… Dennis runs through various other moral outrages from last week, courtesy of Libs of TikTok.  The truth is out: Democrat operatives in collaboration with the FBI (now just another arm of the Democrat party) conspired to squelch the Hunter Biden Laptop story before the 2020 election… Elon Musk blast the NYTimes and the rest of the Pravda media for not reporting on the Twitter/Laptop scandal. Musk knows the reason: they are lap dogs of the Democratic Party.  To deny a very well-documented event like the Holocaust is simply evil. No one denies that slavery or the Cambodian genocide happened. So why does someone deny the Holocaust? Clearly, antisemitism is involved… Tulane School of Medicine is another medical school that has gone woke. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

How might we better prepare for disasters? What role did deadly design play in Hurricane Katrina? How does the concept of triage during a crisis reflect our values? Sheri Fink is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Emmy-nominated television producer and the author of the New York Times bestselling nonfiction book Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital about choices made in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Five Days at Memorial, the recipient of eight book awards, was based on an article investigating patient deaths at Memorial Medical Center. Co-published by ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, the article won both a Pulitzer Prize and National Magazine Award. As a news reporter, Fink extensively covered the Covid pandemic and, earlier, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, sharing Pulitzer Prizes in 2021 and 2015 with New York Times colleagues. Fink's investigation into how the Ebola epidemic began in Sierra Leone and why it wasn't stopped in time for the PBS Frontline episode Outbreak received an Emmy nomination for outstanding research in 2016.

In 2019, he became the Director of Admissions.  Can you give us an overview of Tulane Medical's approach to med ed, focusing on the more distinctive elements? [2:26] Every medical school has its own features, characteristics, mission, values, etc. Tulane University School of Medicine really focuses on whole body preventative medicine. We're in the heart of New Orleans and we focus on serving the underserved population. Our school has 20+ student-run clinics. We have a culinary medicine center that helps our students learn and also has ties with the community. We conduct research that also helps the population here in New Orleans. Our tagline is, “We heal communities, we heal people” and all of that fits strongly into our mission.  What would you like listeners to know about Tulane Medical that many applicants don't realize? Are there any myths that you would like to dispel? [3:28] If you're known for one thing, people just assume that you don't do the other thing. We are known for our community service and our student-run clinics so people just assume we don't have any research opportunities. That's far from the truth. As I said earlier, we do have a lot of research that really focuses on the populations we serve here. We have an aging center, a cancer center, and also the Louisiana Cancer Centers right across the street from us. Our students really get opportunities in both those areas. We do have a primate center where we have a lot of primary research going on there. Our latest thing that we just got a huge grant for is developing a whooping cough vaccine. How does New Orleans impact the student experience at Tulane Medical? [5:18] It's interesting because if anyone has been to New Orleans, they'll know it is a very culturally diverse city. It's very laid-back. The culture of the city actually seeps into our medical school. We don't take ourselves too seriously here. During Mardi Gras festivals, you'll see faculty members and students having fun together.

People who come down with COVID-19 have been known to experience a variety of symptoms during the infection, including neurological issues like headaches and confusion. But a study from Tulane suggests that COVID might actually cause long-term damage to the brain that lasts long after recovery. Tracy Fischer, professor of microbiology and immunology at the Tulane School of Medicine, tells us about her research into the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on the brain. In March 2021, a Senate resolution designated April as National Native Plant Month. It aimed to recognize the benefits that native plants have on the environment and economy of the United States. But what exactly are those benefits? Lee Rouse of the Bayou Tree Service tells us about all the advantages of using native plants, and which Louisiana plants we should include in our spring gardens.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

During this episode of the Pursuit of Health Podcast we pick up on our topic of Infertility as a Health Concern with a remarkably accomplished guest physician, Dr. Chrissy Guidry. After years of medical and surgical training in Louisiana, Ohio and California, she is now the Medical Director of the Emergency General Surgery & Advanced Trauma Life Support Service at Tulane Medical Center and the Associate Program Director of General Surgery at Tulane University. As an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Tulane School of Medicine she serves as a mentor and advocate for many young student physicians. Amongst her many accomplishments and innumerable services on professional committees, she has recently added a focus on addressing Female Infertility Amongst Physicians. She explains that she has been carrying out this effort in collaboration with the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) who has recently made a concerted effort to bring this issue out to the public and the medical profession. This began with an AMWA-sponsored Physician Fertility Summit at which Dr. Guidry was amongst the many guest physician leaders and speakers shedding light on this little discussed topic. During our visit with Dr. Guidry, she bravely shared with our audience her own personal issues regarding infertility so that others may know that they are not alone. She explains that Female Infertility amongst physicians is 3-4 times higher than the general population and that much research is needed to understand both the causes of this medical condition and how to best prevent and treat it. Dr. Guidry reveals many of the obstacles, biases and misconceptions regarding infertility and family planning amongst physicians. She stressed that this is an issue that can seriously affect women physicians and their families. She advocates for early awareness of this issue amongst those she mentors and her colleagues. Together, Dr. Fethke and Dr, Guidry agree that physicians wishing to have children are more well-rounded and healthy people when they are able to do so, thus improving their professional and personal lives. Through organizations like AMWA and RESOLVE, Dr Guidry is optimistic that the issue of Physician Infertility is now out in the open. She strongly believes that physicians have a unique platform to address this issue for themselves and the public at large in order to improve awareness and access to infertility-related medical care. She looks forward to a day when physicians can study and practice in environments that are supportive and proactive for all physicians who are in need of evaluating their fertility as a significant component of their physical and psychosocial health. Dr. Guidry poinantly finishes our fascinating and emotional discussion by emphasizing, “ It is time for this discussion to be out in the open so people know they are not alone.” Finally, Dr. Guidry wants everyone to be aware of the upcoming AMWA and RESOLVE sponsored three seminars occurring in February through April 2022 entitled Moving the Fertility Conversation Forward. We at the Pursuit of Health Podcast can be reached for audience feedback on this episode as well as past and future episodes.
