Talking about the end of life isn't exactly everyone's favorite topic, but it's one of the most important conversations we can have. Not only does it give our loved ones clarity and peace, but it also creates a pathway to stay connected—even after they've crossed over. Caregivers know this better than anyone; they lean into these talks because they understand how much they matter. So, maybe it's time we stop avoiding the tough stuff and start having the conversations that truly count. In this Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider to explore how to deepen our connections with loved ones—even after they've crossed over. Shoshana gets personal, sharing her journey of walking alongside her father during his final chapter. She opens up about how caregiving reshaped her relationships—not just with her dad, but with herself and her husband, who stepped into a caregiving role in unexpected and beautiful ways. We dive into the emotional complexities of caregiving, the impact of family dynamics during illness, and how these experiences inspire her groundbreaking work in palliative care and end-of-life issues. Here's a taste of what we explore: Why honest conversations about end-of-life care can transform tough moments into meaningful ones The difference between palliative care and hospice care How terminal illness impacts family relationships in surprising ways The importance of informed decision-making in end-of-life situations What cultural attitudes about death and dying reveal—and how to rethink them Reshaping how the media portrays end-of-life and caregiving Remember to stay connected with Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider on LinkedIn or through her website to follow her groundbreaking work in transforming how we approach life's transitions and end-of-life care.

TED Health's very own Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider has a new podcast, Before We Go. This is the first episode -- if you'd like more from Before We Go, check it out wherever you are listening to this.Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider's world shifts when her father calls to say that he has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. As they navigate uncharted emotional terrain, Shoshana and her father explore options, including one they hadn't before considered  – medical aid in dying. But before they can decide, doctors tell Steven that something about his past might offer him hope. 

This week we are diving into one topic that we all try to avoid even thinking about—death. I remember when I was a kid, lying in bed as my mom would tuck me in… and even then--ever the anxiety queen--saying to her, “Mom, I don't want you to die! What even happens when you die?!” And she would say, “Sonni, death is a part of life.” For my 5-, 6-year-old brain, that was a big statement to process, but I knew it was true. That simplest of explanations about death really is the most essential one. We prepare for marriage or having children or getting our first job, but we really don't prepare that much for death. Sure, you may have considered pre-paying your funeral costs to avoid having your kids deal with it… or maybe even grabbed up a burial plot. (It always freaked me out that my parents did this!) But what of the emotional side of things? Have you ever thought about what you want your final weeks on earth to look like? This week's guest is the founder of a group that aims to change the conversation about dying—namely, by starting conversations about dying. Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider is a physician, founder, speaker, producer, writer and the host of the TED Health Podcast who works as an internist at Crossover Health in San Francisco. She believes that we shouldn't be scared to prepare for this inevitable part of life, but rather we should address it head on, with humor, with preparation, and with an understanding that this is something we will all have to deal with. Her nonprofit foundation, EndWell, is focused on transforming the end of life into a human-centered experience. They've created a group of doctors, tech leaders, policy makers and activists who—through education and events—address all the “big questions” and other worries we have about death, with the ultimate goal of creating a future where ending well becomes a measure of living well. In this episode you'll hear about the personal story that prompted Dr. Shoshana to start EndWell; the things that people most regret on their death bed; finding support when you or a loved one is sick; what is a death doula? And more. So whether you're also pacifying an anxious 5-year-old, or you just want to button up things for your own inevitable conclusion, this episode may just help you see death in a whole new light. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wegottatalkwithsonni/support

Have you had your daily dose of fun? It's not just enjoyable, it's also essential for your health and happiness, says science journalist Catherine Price. She proposes a new definition of fun -- what she calls "true fun" -- and shares easy, evidence-backed ways to weave playfulness, flow and connection into your everyday life. After the talk, TED Health host Shoshana R. Ungerleider dives into what happens to your body when you play. This is an episode of TED Health, another podcast in the TED Audio Collective.

Too often, modern medicine focuses on life-extending interventions for those nearing the end of life at the expense of quality of life.

Today's instalment of DMs in the DMs sets the tender tone for today's episode, as D shares a message she received about grief. Your hosts then welcome back Internal Medicine Physician and founder of End Well, Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, to update everyone on significant personal changes since we last heard from her. Her father has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and she herself has been found to be BRCA positive. Dr. Shoshana is on a mission to let people know that this mutation is incredibly prevalent, and that the testing for it needs to increase. If it weren't for her dad's illness, she would have never thought to test. She shares why she thinks providers aren't aware of the link with the BRCA gene, how the mutation may actually extend her father's life, how it's important for men to get tested as well, and the lifestyle changes she's made as a result of testing positive. For many people, genetic testing may be covered if you have a first degree relative with certain types of cancer, but if you're not, you can seek out a genetic counselor and decide with them if it makes sense for you to be tested. This episode dispels the myth of BRCA only being associated with breast cancer, highlights the importance of knowing your family history, and touches on the balance of being both a provider and a family member of someone suffering. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Shoshana for her honesty and vulnerability, and hope to assist her in advocating for increased access to genetic testing.  Listen to our last episode with Dr. Shoshana here. You can also find her article in Newsweek here and can seek a genetic counselor at findageneticcounselor.nsgc.org.   To get more from Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, you can follow her on Instagram @shoshanamd and @endwellproject.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.11.510399v1?rss=1 Authors: Japee, S., Jordan, J., Licht, J., Lokey, S., Moebius Syndrome Research Consortium,, Chen, G., Snow, J., Jabs, E. W., Webb, B. D., Engle, E. C., Manoli, I., Baker, C., Ungerleider, L. G. Abstract: Humans rely heavily on facial expressions for social communication to convey their thoughts and emotions and to understand them in others. One prominent but controversial view is that humans learn to recognize the significance of facial expressions by mimicking the expressions of others. This view predicts that an inability to make facial expressions (e.g., facial paralysis) would result in reduced perceptual sensitivity to others' facial expressions. To test this hypothesis, we developed a diverse battery of sensitive emotion recognition tasks to characterize emotion perception in individuals with Moebius Syndrome (MBS), a congenital neurological disorder that causes facial palsy. Using computer-based emotion detection tasks we systematically assessed emotion perception thresholds for static and dynamic face and body expressions. We found that while MBS individuals were able to perform challenging perceptual control tasks, they were less efficient at extracting emotion from facial expressions, compared to matched controls. Exploratory analyses of fMRI data from a small group of MBS participants suggested potentially reduced engagement of the amygdala in MBS participants during expression processing relative to matched controls. Collectively, these results support the role of facial mimicry and consequent facial feedback and motor experience in the perception of others' expressions. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Born in the USA but raised from an early age in Canada, alt-country singer-songwriter Suzie Ungerleider performed for many years under the name 'Oh Susanna.' Recent circumstances and introspection have caused her to leave that persona behind, hence the title of her most recent album 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider.' In our interview Suzie talks about the very personal and atmospheric songs as well as the reasons for reverting to her birth name. Featured songs: Sleepy Little Sailor - remastered original demo version Disappear - from 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider' Summerbaby - from 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider' Mount Royal - from 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider' Summerbaby - live band version (unreleased bonus track) https://suzieungerleider.com/

Every once in a while all of the planning goes OUT THE WINDOW. This week's Podcast for example. I always knew there would be a complete interview with Suzie Ungerleider (Oh Suzanna). Her new 10th  album is called My Name Is Suzie Ungerleider and the story behind the title tells quite a tale. The music is the best she's ever released.  So, the complete interview and tracks as well.  Suzie closes the podcast. Also this week, I was doing interviews with Barney Bentall, Colin Linden, and Russell Broom about their involvement in Remembering The Last Waltz.  Four nights of celebrating The Band's Last Stand almost 45 years ago. Sept 2 & 3 Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium Sept 9 & 10 Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium Before we shared memories of The Band we talked about the passing of Charlie Watts.  Legendary drummer for The Rolling Stones. His effect of The Stones and on us is remarkable considering how quiet and gentle he was. As large and loud as all The Rolling Stones were, it was Charlie that held it all together, on stage and off. So..we start this Podcast by remembering Charlie Watts, then  The Band, and celebrating Suzie Ungerleider.  Busy week. Cheers Charlie..

Episode #892 This week on the show we acknowledge the devastating discovery in Kamloops, spin some new music, including an incredible new song from Suzie Ungeleider that's so good, I had to play it twice. I spoke with Suzie this past week for my other show, Fly with your Shadow, but had a bit leftover for this show. This week's lone request reminded me of a couple of other songs, and we commemorated a few of the significant birthdays of last week and the week to come!

Suzie Ungerleider (suzieungerleider.com) is best known as Oh Susanna, a moniker that she chose to take on when she started performing her own songs in the mid-1990s. In the beginning, she was writing and performing songs that were often dark and sad, with murder ballads and difficult tales being a common theme. Her songs and subject matter expanded over the course of 5 albums made with a few different record labels. When it came time for the sixth, she reconnected with old friend Jim Bryson (who's known for being a producer and band member alongside Kathleen Edwards) and began a musical partnership that continues to this day. Together they planned for an album that would eventually be called Namedropper, where Suzie reached out to some talented and pretty famous friends to write original songs specifically for the album. It includes submissions from Ron Sexsmith, Joel Plaskett, Jim Cuddy, and our episode 11 guest, Amelia Curran. Also included was Winnipeg's own Keri Latimer, who is known for her bands Nathan and Leaf Rapids. In the middle of a crowdfunding campaign for the album, Suzie was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to delay the project. Luckily, she overcame her cancer and is healthy and strong today. After re-releasing her first two Oh Susanna albums, as she made and prepared for the release of a new album, again made with Jim Bryson and featuring contributions from Keri Latimer, Bazil Donovan of Blue Rodeo, and others, Suzie made the difficult but right decision to drop the Oh Susanna name. It turns out that the folk song that we all have known all of our lives, was originally written with some very racist lyrics, sung in a fake African American accent, in the “minstrel show” style, which was based on racist characterizations of black people. (You can read those lyrics HERE, but they are offensive) After years of being based in Ontario, Suzie, along with her husband and drummer Cam Giroux, and their son and dog Willow (who got pretty hungry during our interview and made her presence known), moved to Vancouver, where Suzie was raised.

Abstract: The current experiment investigated the extent to which perceptual categorization of animacy, i.e. the ability to discriminate animate and inanimate objects, is facilitated by image-based features that distinguish the two object categories. We show that, with nominal training, naive macaques could classify a trial-unique set of 1000 novel images with high accuracy. To test whether image-based features that naturally differ between animate and inanimate objects, such as curvilinear and rectilinear information, contribute to the monkeys' accuracy, we created synthetic images using an algorithm that distorted the global shape of the original animate/inanimate images while maintaining their intermediate features (Portilla and Simoncelli, 2000). Performance on the synthesized images was significantly above chance and was predicted by the amount of curvilinear information in the images. Our results demonstrate that, without training, macaques can use an intermediate image feature, curvilinearity, to facilitate their categorization of animate and inanimate objects.

G., Glen, D., Messinger, A. Abstract: Functional neuroimaging research in the non-human primate (NHP) has been advancing at a remarkable rate. The increase in available data establishes a need for robust analysis pipelines designed for NHP neuroimaging and accompanying template spaces to standardize the localization of neuroimaging results. Our group recently developed the NIMH Macaque Template (NMT), a high-resolution population average anatomical template and associated neuroimaging resources, providing researchers with a standard space for macaque neuroimaging (Seidlitz, Sponheim et al., 2018). Here, we release NMT v2, which includes both symmetric and asymmetric templates in stereotaxic orientation, with improvements in spatial contrast, processing efficiency, and segmentation. We also introduce the Cortical Hierarchy Atlas of the Rhesus Macaque (CHARM), a hierarchical parcellation of the macaque cerebral cortex with varying degrees of detail. These tools have been integrated into the neuroimaging analysis software AFNI (Cox, 1996) to provide a comprehensive and robust pipeline for fMRI processing, visualization and analysis of NHP data. AFNI's new @animal_warper program can be used to efficiently align anatomical scans to the NMT v2 space, and afni_proc.py integrates these results with full fMRI processing using macaque-specific parameters: from motion correction through regression modeling. Taken together, the NMT v2 and AFNI represent an all-in-one package for macaque functional neuroimaging analysis, as demonstrated with available demos for both task and resting state fMRI.

C., Messinger, A. Abstract: The MNI CIVET pipeline for automated extraction of cortical surfaces and evaluation of cortical thickness from in-vivo human MRI has been extended for processing macaque brains. Processing is performed based on the NIMH Macaque Template (NMT), as the reference template, with the anatomical parcellation of the surface following the D99 and CHARM atlases. The modifications needed to adapt CIVET to the macaque brain are detailed. Results have been obtained using CIVET-macaque to process the anatomical scans of the 31 macaques used to generate the NMT and another 95 macaques from the PRIME-DE initiative. It is anticipated that the open usage of CIVET-macaque will promote collaborative efforts in data collection and processing, sharing, and automated analyses from which the non-human primate brain imaging field will advance.

"At The Heart of Gold" Producer Steven Ungerleider is todays guest on the Around the Rings podcast, talking about the movie and the Courage First initiative.

More and more unfortunate patients are spending their final weeks, days, and minutes of life hidden away from the people they love, and sometimes they are in significant amounts of pain. Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, a physician and a palliative care activist, believes that a new day of medicine is coming where the end of life is not a medical issue to be solved, but rather something that all human beings should be reflecting on personally and talking about in their own lives. Struck by the number of older, more frail adults ending up in the ICU where the most aggressive, invasive care gets provided, Shoshana realized that her passion in life was making sure that her patients and their families' end-of-life experience was in line with their goals and values. Today, Shoshana joins host Douglas Nelson in examining illness in the context of the whole picture of someone's life and how physicians, nurses, and other providers of healthcare can come up with a plan of care that focuses on having them live their best day every day, no matter how many days they have left.

Palliative care is a relatively new specialty. And it, just like other medical specialties, is siloed. And the issues go beyond lack of patient education. There is a lack of physician training too. Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider is on a mission to change that. To make the end of life experience better for everybody. With her help, Extremis and End Game are produced, and air on Netflix. These documentaries give us a “both ends of the spectrum” view of death. Because of these issues, she has started a non-profit, called End Well ,to bring all involved industries together to talk, and figure out how to change the landscape around dying. A symposium to “unsilo” palliative care. Listen and find out: what you need to do if you don't want aggressive medical care at the end of your life the cost that family caregiving has, not just on the family, but on the economy how you can make a difference in the life of your loved ones and yourself Follow Shoshana on social: FB: @endwellproject Twitter: @ShoshUMD IG: @endwellsf

In this episode of HealthChangers, we listen to a fireside chat with Peggy Maguire, President of the Cambia Health Foundation, and author and commentator Courtney E. Martin, at the recent 2018 End Well Symposium. This powerful, one-day event brought together a diverse group of voices including actors, design, technology, policy, health care and activist communities, to explore and imagine how to live well during illness and near the end of life. The podcast begins with an introduction and a powerful appeal by Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, physician, speaker and founder of “End Well,” to create a cultural shift that supports new collaborations, systems, protocols, and fosters new and existing networks of support to make the end of life more human-centered for all.

Why should medical professionals put a lot more effort to improve end-of-life care? On today's episode, internist Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider discusses her life's mission and why bedside manner is of utmost importance. “Patients and families deserve better. We have to do a better job at communicating.” - Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider Three Things We Learned Patients must be included in the bigger picture Dr. Shoshana realized a lot of things when she did her ICU residency. None of their palliative measures, complex studying of cases, and wading through data would change the inevitable course of a patient's journey. But there has always been the need to look at cases in the context of the patient's entire life and if they had a sense of what was happening around them. Many doctors aren't trained to hold conversations A recent study in the Journal of American Medical Association reported that most doctors don't have training to converse effectively. This completely blew Dr. Shoshana's mind. As a hospital-based doctor holding a lot of difficult conversations on goals and progress with patients and their families, this was telling of a public health problem. Lackluster bedside manners are a public health concern Indeed, there are more pressing and challenging public health issues in the country. But no patient or family must feel like they have to interrogate medical professionals to get a better understanding of where they stand. Practitioners owe it to people they have sworn to care for, even if only palliative, to tell them everything that they need to know. Empowerment of patients and families is an ongoing struggle for the medical community. The concern will remain stagnant unless properly addressed. In the end, the patients suffer, and it is disappointing that even in their last stretch, they don't get the kind of care they deserve. Bio: Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider is a physician, founder, philanthropist and speaker.

How many times have you heard of a physician being directly involved with an Oscar-Nominated film? How about a film also nominated for two Emmys? That number for me falls on one hand, but I’m grateful it includes today’s guest, Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider. She really shows us what it means to be a doctor achieving more outside of clinical medicine. Allow her to inspire you as much as she did me.

In this episode of Life/Death/Law, join me for a conversation with Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, a physician, speaker, writer, activist, and the force behind two amazing movies about end of life: Extremis and End Game, both available on Netflix (so watch them!). Dr. Ungerleider also (when not producing movies and making social change) works as an internist practicing hospital medicine at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. She received her medical degree from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, OR and completed residency at California Pacific Medical Center where she is now on the teaching faculty and serves on the Executive Board of the Foundation Board of Trustees. Extremis, which is about end of life decision making in the ICU at Oakland's Highland Hospital, won best Documentary Short at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2017, and was nominated for an Academy Award and two Emmies. End Game recently premiered at Sundance, and is about palliative care and end of life planning in the face of terminal illness, and was filmed at UCSF and Zen Hospice, in San Francisco. Both movies are heartfelt, engaging, honest and important. They show, without preaching, how important it is for your loved ones to know what you do and don't want at end of life and how palliative care and hospice can add quality to that time. Dr. Ungerleider is also the founder of the End Well conference, which will take place on December 6, 2018 in San Francisco. The conference is a dynamic convening of design, tech, health care, policy, media, the arts and activist communities committed to generating human-centered, interdisciplinary innovation for the end of life experience. I can't wait to attend. If you would like to know more about how to prepare yourself or your loved ones for an empowered end of life, and how to talk to your family about what you do and don't want at the end of life, please listen to today's show.   Here are links to the resources that Dr. Ungerleider mentions on the show: 1.

The post Episode 26: Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, Co-founder of Ungerleider Palliative Care Education Fund appeared first on Death By Design, End Of Life Planning, Pallative, Hospice. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In medical school, Shoshana Ungerleider was primarily focused on curing disease and prolonging life. However, as her medical training progressed, Dr. Ungerleider noticed that a preponderance of incurably ill people were spending the last of their precious days hooked up to life sustaining machinery, isolated from friends and family, with little to no information about the available care options. Thus began a mission to change all of that. How can physicians and lay people begin to view death not as a treatment failure but as a natural inevitability How can patients insure their medical care corresponds with their goals and values Join Arian and Shoshana as they discuss both the aspirations and challenges associated with providing end of life care.

Session 7 Whether you are a pre-med or medical student, you have answered the calling to becoming a physician. Soon you will have to start deciding what type of medicine you want to practice. This podcast will tell you the specialists from every field, so you can have the information you need to make the most well-informed decision possible when it comes down to choosing your specialty. Today we hear from Shoshana R. Ungerleider, M.D, an internist practicing hospital medicine at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. CPMC is an academic hospital set in a community setting with several residencies, including internal medicine, where she is on the teaching faculty. She has been practicing medicine for three and a half years and finished her residency in 2013.  (2:20)  Discovery Moment Shoshana knew she wanted to be a hospitalist midway through internal medical residency while working “night float” shifts (6pm-8am), admitting patients into the hospital overnight as well as doing cross cover. While there were other specialties that she considered, including cardiology and critical care, she knew she could be happy in a hospital setting and ultimately felt like hospital medicine was a good fit for her. There is a variety of patients that a hospitalist cares for, in terms of age, illness, chief complaint and levels of acuity; they may take care of patients who come into the hospital for a routine hip surgery who are otherwise pretty healthy, while on the other end of the spectrum they co-manage ICU patients who are incredibly ill and spend days or weeks in the intensive care unit. (3:51) The Traits That Lead To A Good Hospitalist There are many personalities that can be happy doing hospital work. One must enjoy interacting with patients, which a hospitalist does often. Additionally, maintaining an intellectual curiosity throughout your years in practice, as things are constantly changing as far as how common medical problems are managed. Hospitalists treat for many types of issues so staying up on the literature is very important; in fact, Shoshana finds herself constantly looking up the most recent guidelines. Flexibility and adaptability are also important traits to have as a hospitalist, because the hours and shifts are unstructured. If you love the structure of an 8am-5pm, she says, you are better suited for working in a clinic or outpatient facility, where the hours are standard. Flexibility and adaptability also come into play for the types of conditions a hospitalist sees--one never knows how busy the ER will be at any given day or time, so it’s good to roll with the punches!  (6:22) A Typical Day For A Hospitalist (or evening, in Shoshana’s case!) After arriving at the hospital, a quick check-in with colleagues on the previous shift, then the pager almost immediately goes off! As a nighttime doctor, the majority of what she does is admit new patients to the hospital and the majority of those patients come through the emergency room. Sometimes they get direct admissions from specialists or primary care doctors where the patients come directly to the floor or may get a transfer from another hospital, but at least 75-85% come directly from the ER. The majority of her shift is therefore in the ER seeing patients and working with the residents. The residents often go in with the physicians together to see patients, or sometimes the resident goes in and chats with the patient first, does a history and physical and then she will come in later to follow up with more questions. They will do a modified round at night  where the residents present the H&P and together  they discuss the assessment and plan. On occasion there will be some cross-cover fires to put out on the floor when patients become ill overnight and she needs to read up on the history of the patient to find out what she needs to do in the moment. That can get a little exciting. (8:27) The decision process in choosing an academic hospital over a community hospital that did not have residents As Shoshana completed her residency, she wanted to stay in the area and was searching for a job. She was able to work in the community for the first two years after residency and got a sense of what it meant to be in community hospital medicine. While she enjoyed it, after two years she realized she was missing the educational aspects of working with residents and other trainees. Currently she is working with the residents in the hospital where she trained. Working with residents keeps a hospitalist on their toes, as they often know about the latest in diagnostics and therapeutics. The reality is not everyone can always be on top of everything and Shoshana thrives in that team environment where everyone can learn from one another. As new medicine changes from week to week with regards to the standard of care,it can be really exciting to work in such an academic environment. (10:46) Does a Hospitalist have to take calls? Technically speaking, a hospitalist is always “on call” during a shift. The daytime hospitalists have their panel of patients and when doing their rounds, they make a plan for the day as to whether the patients remain in the hospital or transferred to a different level of care. For a daytime doctor typically there is a timeframe in which they are physically in the hospital and then for those doctors who work at a later swing shift or night shift, they have to physically be in the hospital. But the hospitalists do not have to be on call call when they are not on shift. (12:09) What are the typical shift hours and days for a Hospitalist? For most hospitals, the most interesting thing about hospitalists as a field is that it is fairly young and so many hospital groups figure out what works best for them with scheduling shifts. Often, hospital groups have seven days on, seven days off throughout the year (with the exception of holiday season). Other hospitals may do a three to five day stretch throughout the year, with the exception of holidays. Others do a 3-5 day stretch and then have time off where they can tailor it around their personal schedules. Typically for nighttime doctors, they do anywhere from ten-fifteen nights per month full-time. Getting acclimated with the time change from flipping different shifts can take a toll on the body, so it is beneficial to have days off in-between. (13:50) Residency and becoming a Hospitalist For internal medicine hospitalists, meaning to take care of adult patients, you complete three years of a residency training and you’re fairly well-equipped to go into a hospitalist practice. There are hospitalist fellowships that exist but they are not that common; it is there if you need more hospital based training but for the vast majority of people that become hospitalists you can go straight in after residency into a hospitalist practice. (14:36) Is the big difference between internal medicine physician and a hospitalist the place of practice? The hospitalists are internal medicine doctors but where the distinction lies is the career one could choose right out of conventional medicine residency. You could choose to be in primary care (you’re in an outpatient practice seeing ambulatory patients) or you can become a hospitalist, where you work solely in a hospital. Some physicians do a hybrid of both but it is much more common to choose one or the other. We’re all general internists but some choose to work inside the hospital and some choose to practice in a clinic. (15:25) Is there something that makes an applicant competitive to get into internal medicine residency? Solid grades in your first few years of coursework as a medical student are incredibly important. Because internal medicine is such a broad field, having a really good understanding of physiology, pathophysiology and all that goes into our medical education is incredibly important. A diverse range of clinical experience your ward year as a medical student is important. The more diverse months in a hospital you can do as a medical student are incredibly helpful and informative for internal medicine residency because internists are often the ones interfacing with the specialists, especially the surgical specialists and other internal medicine specialists. The more you can understand how all of those fit together is incredibly helpful. Depending on what your interests are, if you want to be a researcher in addition to clinical medicine, Shoshana says, obtaining a background in research as a medical student can be important. One thing that is different with internal medicine than other fields is that there is a diversity of clinical practices that you can find yourself in after training. Internal medicine acts as a gateway to primary care, to hospital-based medicine and to some specialties such as gastroenterology, hepatology, hematology oncology and endocrinology. There are many specialities you can consider beyond internal medicine training if general medicine isn’t appealing to you. (18:03) Is matching pretty competitive for internal medicine? Yes, it can be. There are several very high-powered academic institutions that are very competitive located all over the country. If you are so inclined to end up in that program, it is highly competitive. That said, there are many different kinds of programs around the country so it just depends on what your goals are for training and what you are interested in--whether it be research or clinical medicine or hybrid of the two or if you are interested in doing another degree on top of medicine. It is helpful to think about these goals going into the application and matching process, as there is a wide range out there. (19:16) Do you see any bias between osteopathic physicians and allopathic physicians when it comes to applying for internal medicine? Shoshana has not encountered this kind of bias before or had a direct experience with that. The residency program is majority MD and there have been some DO’s who have come through the program. From personal experience, the top internal medical residencies typically only look at MD candidates. While she is unsure if this is right or wrong, that is what she has seen in her experience. (20:14) Are there any opportunities as a hospitalist to further sub-specialize? It depends on the place where you practice. For example, in a smaller or rural town, typically you will find only general hospitalists (they take care of general medicine patients and may or may not also take care of ICU-level patients themselves). In larger cities, however, there are opportunities to have a more specialized subset of patients to care for. For example, there may be a team of hospitalists that only take care of complicated G.I. and liver patients so that is their subset of patients that they typically see. Or there may be a team of hospitalists that only cares for bone marrow transplant patients and they work very closely with hematology oncology in caring for those patients. The vast majority of hospitalists practice general hospital medicine and are not sub-specialized but in larger cities or in institutions that have a high volume of specialized patients, there is an opportunity to specialize within your hospitalist practice. (21:58) Is that a fellowship training or is that just the type of patient they are drawn to in seeking out those opportunities? Typically it's not further academic medical training and each hospital or practice has their own culture about how they train the sub-specialty hospital list. Often it's just getting to know the complex G.I. attending and learning the ways that they care for their patients, given that you are the liaison between the patients and their specialists. For example, the specialized oncologists care for patients based on the standards of care that relate to their illness. There is not typically formal training on top of residency but usually you learn within your institution as you go. (23:08) What do the boards look like in internal medicine? The internal medicine board exam is every ten years so most residents complete their three-year internal residency in the month of June, take a few months of that summer studying hard for the exam and take the exam in August or September. They begin their clinical practice and whatever they're going into or they matriculate into a fellowship program if they have decided to specialize. The board exam is a full day, 7 ½ hours! It’s computer multiple choice and after taking the exam it is about six to eight weeks before the written results come back with pass or fail. (24:12) Do you know what the pass rates look like? The pass rates are pretty high, Shoshana says, and this is an exam that most people pass with an approximately 75%--85% pass rate. The actual raw score doesn't really matter in terms of the job you're going to get or what happens down the road, which is much different than the USMLE where your school really matters because you're no longer competing for a spot. Typically they have already been matched with a fellowship or they have a job so the goal is really just trying to pass the exam. (25:05) Knowing what you know now after being in practice for a couple of years, what do you wish you would've known coming into your residency? What Shoshana realizes now is that during her residency you work really hard and spend thousands of hours physically in the hospital. It is really easy, she thinks, to  get bogged down by pressure of residency and performing well with taking care of patients. If she could, Shoshana would have told herself on day one of her residency to make sure that she used this time to learn as much as possible and really make the most of every opportunity, even when exhausted. It is a time that a resident will never have again and a teaching environment where you can learn from experts and experiences that you may never have an opportunity to have again. Shoshana advises that the idea of lifelong learning into your clinic practice as a resident is really important because when you finish you may not still be practicing in the academic environment or in a place where there is a specialist you can turn to ask a question. You should constantly be learning and figuring out the ways that you can best access new information in order to take the very best possible care of patients. Physicians need to recognize that in order to be up on the latest information, it takes a lot of work and the clinical practice is very important.  (28:00) What do you wish primary care physicians knew about hospitalists to better help you do your job? Shoshana wishes that primary care doctors who have formed a relationship with their panel of patients would recognize that hospitalists do their very best in an incredibly brief encounter with these patients to get to know them and formulate a treatment plan. It can be a challenge to build a rapport quickly with someone literally just walking into the room and meeting them for the first time. If the primary care physicians have patients who have a chronic illness, it is incredibly important for them to inform their patients as much as they can about their medical problems and to discuss prognosis, especially when related to a serious illness. As a hospitalist, Shoshana sees many patients who have a chronic illness where she is the one to break the bad news that things have gotten worse and they may have a poor prognosis. If the primary care doctors could have that conversation with them earlier on, it is very helpful for the patient’s care and for the hospitalist to talk to a patient (and family members) who already have a sense of their medical problems and prognosis. (30:28) What other specialties do you work the most with? A hospitalist works most closely with the Emergency Medicine team and spends the majority of their time in the emergency room. Shoshana also works closely with the Oncologists, as there are many patients that interface with their hospital that have cancer. Other top specialists she works with are Cardiologists and ICU. (31:37) Are there any special opportunities outside of clinical medicine specifically for hospitalist? Specifically for Hospitalists there are opportunities to work in skilled nursing facilities and post-acute care, as a variation of hospital medicine. With a general internal medicine background there are opportunities in biotechnology. (32:38) What do you like the most about being a hospitalist? The feeling of being a “detective” who have patients coming into the hospital with a chief complaint, but not really knowing what's wrong with them until Shoshana can dig in and use diagnostics to figure out what it is that is going on, based on their medical history and what they can use in order to figure it out. She also enjoys the variety of patients who come in and this keeps her on her toes. (33:30) What do you like the least about being a hospitalist? Sometimes as a hospitalist you get stuck in the middle a little bit. They are the doctors that often are in-between the patients and their specialists, so if the patient comes in with advanced heart failure, for example, the hospitalist puts a treatment plan in place and then calls the cardiologist to see them and provide recommendations based on what's going on. Sometimes it's a little tricky to be caught in the middle, while sometimes it's often wonderful that they can work with the specialists on patient care. It can also be a bit of a challenge navigating the needs of the patient, your own needs as a hospitalist and the needs of the specialist. (34:42) If you had to do it all over again, would you still choose to be a hospitalist? Shoshana really enjoys her practice as a hospitalist but wishes back in medical school she would have spent more time exploring other fields, such as neurology and anesthesiology, to see if it was a good fit. However, overall she enjoys internal medicine and is very happy as a hospitalist. (35:46) Do you see any major changes in the hospitalist realm in the future? As there are potential changes on every front within medicine in the future, Shoshana is not quite sure if whether it is the near future. She can, however, definitely declare that hospital medicine, while a fairly new field, it is here to stay. Hospitalists serve an excellent purpose and one thing she would like to see more of is better communication between primary care doctors and hospitalists.  That is often a challenge, given they sometimes use different electronic records or needing to track them down on the phone in the clinic can be a challenge.  It's incredibly important for continuity of care that primary care doctors and hospitalists are in good communication. (37:02) Any last words of wisdom for students possibly looking into hospitalist medicine? The beauty of hospital medicine is that if you were looking for flexibility in your schedule, it is a great field. Every hospital practice is set up differently so if you like the flexibility of working a variety of different times on different days, hospital medicine can be a perfect career!
