Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Evan Glazer, MD, a colleague at Regional One Health in Memphis, TN, part of the University of Tennessee Health Science (UTHSC) system. Dr. Glazer is a practicing surgical oncologist and Associate Professor of Surgery at UTHSC. He also received Memphis Magazine's 2024 Innovator Award. During our 25-minute conversation, Dr. Glazer described the extensive training that led to his current position as a surgical oncologist at Regional One Health. He completed four years of college, four years of medical school, five years of general surgery residency, two years of a research fellowship on liver and pancreas cancer, and then two years of clinical fellowship at the Moffit Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, a total of 17 years of training! Dr. Glazer is now a Board-Certified Surgical Oncologist. Dr. Glazer explained that in the US, general surgeons provide most surgical cancer care. However, some cases are complex and require additional skills, which is where a surgical oncologist can step in. Surgical oncologists routinely operate on cancer patients, which gives them a level of experience and expertise not always possessed by general surgeons. Dr. Glazer explained how advances in neuroimaging, including CT, MRI, and PET scans, have aided surgeons by better identifying anatomical structures that vary from patient to patient. Collaboration between medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and others can lead to optimal clinical results. Cancer is not always a "death sentence" as it used to be. To learn more, please watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite streaming device!

Congratulations to Dean Wendy Likes for being selected a Health Care Hero for 2021 by the Memphis Business Journal! In this episode, we will hear from the leader of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Nursing. Dean likes and I discuss the various programs offered at the UTHSC CON. Programs include an Accelerated Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN), a traditional Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (starting fall of 2022), a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP) with a variety of concentrations, a Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing Science (Ph.D.), and certificate programs including Registered Nurse First Assist (RNFA), Advanced Practice Forensic Nurse Certificate (APFN), and post MSN and DNP certificates. Dean Likes discusses rich history at the UTHSC CON including being the first College of Nursing in the State of Tennessee, the first Ph.D. program in the State of Tennessee, and the first DNP program in the State of Tennessee (2nd in the Nation). The UTHSC CON is the number one National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded college of nursing in the State of Tennessee. The CON has secured two sizeable Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grants including the Advanced Nursing Education Workforce grant for $2.7M over 4 years and an Advanced Nursing Education Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (ANE-SANE) grant for $1.5M over three years. Dean Likes discusses how the Center for Community and Global Partnerships advances the profession of nursing, improves patient outcomes, and provides community support for some of the most vulnerable populations. The Center, led by Dr. Sara Day, focuses on initiatives such as professional development of nurses, the Management of Aggressive Patient Situations program (MAPS), the Sickle Cell Bootcamp, and more. The Center supports nurses through the proceeds from the annual NightinGala to engage nurses in research and evidence-based practice. Dean Likes also talks about her love for the CON and how we exist through the innovative ideas of faculty, students, staff, and alumni.

During National Nurse Practitioner Week, Dr. April Kapu, President of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners discusses the role of the APRN as provider, the role of the AANP in support of the APRN, and how nurses and APRNs have stepped up during the pandemic to selflessly care for patients. Dr. Kapu also discusses self-care and taking the time to “fill your tank” and “find your joy”. Nurses often put their own care “on the backburner” (Dr. Kapu). Knowing your “why” for being a nurse and bringing your best self to patients starts with self-care. “We have to center ourselves on the why”. Don't forget to “focus on yourself and replenish, recover and refill your tank” (Dr. Kapu).We talk about Full Practice Authority for nurse practitioners and modernizing those laws to allow nurse practitioners to practice to the fullest extent of their education and training. Lifting restrictions provides greater access to care for over 80 million Americans. During the course of the pandemic, Massachusetts and Delaware removed restrictive access to care barriers. Way to go Massachusetts and Delaware! Other legislation that the AANP is advocating for includes the Increasing Access to Quality Cardiac Rehabilitation Care Act and Promoting Access to Diabetic Shoes Act. During National Nurse Practitioner Week celebrate yourself with acts of self-care. If you know a nurse practitioner, thank her, him, or them for all that they do to keep patients safe and healthy in our country.
The Rural Health Program is currently being launched in Tennessee, and it has a couple of different components.

Show NotesDennis LeberRecorded September 17, 2020IntroductionDennis Leber, Chief Information Security Officer (CISIO) at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), Memphis, TN, joined me for this interview about cybersecurity. Dennis developed his cybersecurity expertise with a stint in the Marines, followed by 14 years in law enforcement. Looking to develop his career, Dennis discovered that cybersecurity addressed his desire to "serve and protect" and his interest in computers. He obtained a master's degree and is soon to complete his Ph.D. When the Army Reserve called him up to active duty in the 2nd Gulf War, Dennis applied his skills to military communications. Back in civilian life, Dennis worked IT in auto manufacturing and built cybersecurity systems from the ground up. Scope of ResponsibilityAt UTHSC, Dennis is responsible for the security of tens of thousands of computers and systems, as well as several thousand users. During our 25-minute chat, Dennis explained the two schools of thought regarding changing passwords (or not), the value of password managers, and highlighted threats from "Brute Force Attacks" and "Rainbow Tables." CostAlthough I couldn't pin him down on the dollar cost of UTHSC's cybersecurity, Dennis shared that the industry-standard for cybersecurity is 20% of the IT budget. Because security breaches can cost millions of dollars, cybersecurity has become necessary for every business and institution.Self-DefenseDennis offered some tips on how individuals can protect themselves and their institutions from cyber-attacks. UTHSC requires students and faculty to participate in annual cybersecurity training based on the prior year's threats. He emphasized that cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility.EmailI learned that my UTHSC.edu email is NOT private--the institution owns it! Cybersecurity concerns, Freedom of Information Act Requests, and HIPAA audits can all trigger an email audit. Something to keep in mind…ConclusionMany thanks to Dennis Leber, Chief Information Security Officer at UTHSC, for sharing his cybersecurity expertise on "The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner."

Show NotesMany thanks to Paul Hill, MD, for discussing the psychiatric repercussions of COVID-19 on “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner.” Dr. Hill works at the same hospital as I do in Memphis, TN, and we are both faculty of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC).* Dr. Hill explained that COVID-19 might have deleterious effects on people with chronic psychiatric disorders by limiting their access to care and community. For example, people with substance abuse disorders may not be able to access methadone or suboxone clinics, leading to relapses of their addictions. People with psychiatric disorders may also have difficulty complying with mask-wearing, social distancing, and hand-washing, which predisposes them to infection. We also explored the mental health effects of COVID-19 on health care workers. Because of the long duration of the pandemic, even resilient medical professionals may become discouraged and demoralized. Dr. Hill emphasized that self-care is particularly important during these difficult times. Adequate sleep, exercise, a regular schedule, healthful eating, and support from colleagues, family, and friends can help maintain physical and psychological health.Many thanks to Dr. Hill for sharing his many years of psychiatric expertise on “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner.”Please join us for this 20-minute fascinating interview.If you enjoy this program, please subscribe!Feedback is always appreciated. *Our expressed opinions do not necessarily represent those of UTHSC.

Note that I am an ACUTE (NOT chronic) pain specialist. I am an Anesthesiologist, and I work at a major trauma hospital (the 3rd busiest Level 1 Trauma Center in the U.S.) in Memphis where I relieve pain and suffering after surgery/trauma by utilizing techniques and medications that minimize the need for opioids and also often hasten recovery. I was in private practice for 12 years where I honed these skills. When I was recruited into academics at UTHSC/ROH, I started focusing on major traumatic injuries. We are now leaders in the country in applying continuous peripheral nerve blocks to traumatic injury.The opioid crisis claims the lives of American citizens (very often starting after exposure during surgery or trauma) every 11 minutes. Having surgery and even receiving an opioid prescription when leaving the hospital is a Risk Factor for long term use and substance use disorder (addiction). Even 1 week exposure to opioids could begin some of us on a life-altering path of addiction.Addiction hits all classes, races, and professions. Avoiding exposure is key in preventing addiction and in 're-triggering' those who have recovered. The 'minor' consequences of opioids (constipation, nausea, 'foggy-headedness', confusion) are not minor for individual patients, and they have significant, and often unrecognized, financial consequences. Further, patient call back studies confirm over and over that post-surgical pain is still not well controlled.Most patients, physicians, hospital administrators, insurance carriers believe the only options are: PAIN or OPIOIDS. You should not believe that at all! The combination of MMA (multimodal analgesia - several non-opioid medications used together) and regional anesthesia (nerve blocks using local anesthetics -sort of like the dentist uses) that can be done nearly anywhere in the body can dramatically improve outcomes, patient satisfaction and reduce opioids. Now, utilizing ultrasound technology and tiny catheters with a bedside procedure, numbing medicine can be reliably delivered to hide pain for days or weeks! Even the horrible injuries (like rib fractures or limb amputations or both) that we see at ROH, we can reduce opioid use dramatically - sometimes by 90-100%!There are many compelling reasons to implement these techniques and strategies in other hospitals, and it takes a system-wide approach to find success. Presently, not enough physicians are trained adequately to perform these techniques, and (although the literature is clear about the positive patient-centered & financial outcomes), there is always difficulty in shifting from the 'status quo', and there is inadequate incentive for hospitals and physicians to change practice. I believe when patients become aware that they have better pain control options, and they don't have to choose between pain or opioids (or both!), things will change. I have been in hospitals that 'stole' many, many cases from nearby towns JUST because we were using these strategies. I also believe that when hospital administrators realize that they are hemorrhaging money with their current over-reliance on opioids that change will occur. I believe that when insurance carriers and government organizations realize that 6-7% of 40-50 million surgical patients will become long-term opioid users after surgery with our common (out-dated) ways of controlling pain after surgery...and that they spend $15,000/year more caring for these patients, then change will occur.I want people out there to know that they have much better options available and that they should seek out hospitals and physicians who practice in this way. The benefits to some patient populations is greatly magnified. Individual patients and family members can create the incentive that is needed to bring about change. Sometimes I don't think that I can keep up the fight to make this change a reality. It would be far less stress and strain for me to 'just do regular Anesthesia.' Whenever I get to this point, I will run into an appreciative patient or family member or surgeon, or I will see a previous patient on Facebook, and that always seems to remind me that I've gone way too far to give up now.I am working with colleagues from Penn State and UAB on a $7 million NIH-funded grant proposal to study how acute pain after rib fractures turns into chronic pain. I have been speaking at academic meetings, universities and local hospitals on this topic over the past few years with a recent visit to Penn State and an upcoming workshop at Emory University. I am also speaking on a few podcasts for the Trauma Anesthesiology Society about some newer types of continuous peripheral nerve blocks used for rib fractures. I hope to initiate training courses through UTHSC and start a Fellowship program for graduating Anesthesiology Residents to study this sub-specialty of Anesthesiology.Learn more: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-jones-m-d-59101368/
Go Baby Go was started at the University of Delaware to provide mobility to children with disabilities through adapted toy cars. The purpose of the project is to modify off-the-shelf ride on toys and individualize them to child's needs. This allows children with special needs to have an opportunity to explore their environment more independently and safely all while having fun! Modifications to the cars may include anything from moving the foot pedal to a steering wheel switch, raising the seat height, adding stability through different harnesses or anything that would allow the child to move! UTHSC Physical Therapy partnered with the Department of Engineering at the University of Memphis to bring the Go Baby Go program to Memphis. On September 10, 2016, the first Go Baby Go Rodeo was conducted at UTHSC and the selected children showed off their ride on cars which they later took home to have and play with. This was a big step towards helping our local children with needs, and we are looking forward to continuing this tradition. This year, the event will take place this Summer on the UTHSC campus. Students and faculty from UTHSC and University of Memphis are working hard to make the event special for the kids and their families. Feel free to come watch the Rodeo take place!

Samples from nonhuman primates make up the tissue bank at the SNPRC. In the Hixon Hospital, drawers upon drawers hold thousands of animal tissue samples. Protected in wax, this collection is a valuable resource for Texas Biomed scientists and researchers at other institutions that participate in a tissue sharing program. Scientists who wrote a recent article published in the Journal of Medical Primatology titled “Papio Spp. Colon microbiome and its link to obesity in pregnancy” used tissue samples from the Southwest National Primate Research Center to test a hypothesis: Are there changes in the kinds of bacteria found in obese animals versus normal weight animals? Could those differences influence the outcome of pregnancy? Obese women at are increased risk of a number of pregnancy complications including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and the need for a cesarean delivery. Edward Dick, Jr., D.V.M., is a veterinary pathologist at the SNPRC who is one of the authors of the article. He explains “the microbiome is a new research area that’s being studied extensively in humans, but no one had really looked at the baboon to see how it compares to the human. This was the first attempt to do that.” Edward Dick, Jr., D.V.M. The colon microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria, fungi and other microbes. It plays an important role in health, including digestion and immunities. The SNPRC tissue bank provided samples of gut microbiome from four obese pregnant baboons and four normal weight pregnant baboons. These were evaluated by researchers from the College of Medicine at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. When comparing the samples, scientists noted some differences. For instance, the population of one certain bacterium was increased ten-fold in the obese baboons. Antibodies to this particular bacterium have been associated with metabolic disturbances and insulin resistance in people. On the flip side, two other bacteria used to help ferment carbohydrates and metabolize fatty acids were reduced in the obese baboons. The question is whether differences in the colon microbiome could make a difference in the outcome of pregnancy. The short answer is that it’s possible. Much more research needs to be conducted. The study concludes “changes in the gut microbiome in pregnant obese animals open the venue for dietary manipulation in pregnancy.” If this proves to be the case, researchers may be able to come up with a suitable target for microbiome-related intervention during pregnancy. Thousands of slides are stores in drawers at the SNPRC. The article also acknowledges “the help and dedication of the many excellent animal caretakers, technicians, and veterinarians of the Southwest National Primate Research Center.” Obesity is a public health concern in the U.S. and around the world. Since the children of obese mothers have a risk of future obesity and heart disease, this kind of research into underlying factors that might be controlled during pregnancy is important. Dr. Dick says this collaborative research project is a good example of the power of banked tissue for biomedical research. The SNPRC has samples with records on diagnoses that go all the way back to 1988. Dr. Schlabritz-Lutsevich (Associate Professor at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at the Permian Basin) is the Principal Investigator, senior and corresponding author on this study. Study was funded by UTHSCSA, UTHSC and TTUHSC. Dr. Schlabritz-Lutsevich worked closely with the group of Dr. Peter Nathanielsz, who provided continuous support. She assembled the interdisciplinary team, which included Dr. Karen Nelson – the first scientists, who published first microbiome study in 2006, Dr. Christopher Rensing – University of Denmark (in addition to other authors). The help of Dept. of Pathology SNPRC was critical for this research, especially Dr. Edward Dick and Dr. Gene Hubbard. Dr.
https://youtu.be/KFiPimpeICg April is a dedicated mother to three beautiful children, occupational therapist by trade, loving wife, and ambitious runner. April loves to be a cheerleader to everyone around her, encouraging her family and friends to go after their dreams and do what it takes to accomplish their goals. She has been fortunate enough to be taken in by the local running community where she can motivate other runners and be motivated as well. April hasn’t always been into fitness. She spent her college days eating Mexican food, working a vast array of part-time jobs, and climbing to the top of student organizations at UT Martin and UTHSC while completing her Master’s degree. After working in healthcare and observing the effects of a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle, she found a passion for fitness, especially running, and a penchant for nutrition. She has a preference for running on the trails and some of her favorite races include the Ouachita 50K, Grayson Highlands, and the Walking Tall 50K. April recently completed her first 50 miler at Tunnel Hill finishing 10th overall female. April somehow finds a way to get her training miles in (most of the time) while juggling motherhood, a full time job, and negotiating training schedules with her husband who is also an avid ultra runner. April doesn’t strive to be THE best, just to do HER best.
This episode is live from Quito, Ecuador. Sully is joined by Morgan, Anna, and Tessa who are three UTHSC D4 students. We discuss what the future holds for these three D4 students and what their plans are. Getting through dental school can be hectic, but once the goal of graduating is over. It is time to begin a new career as a dentist. We talk about associateships, opening a new practice, taking over a practice, working for the government, and finding mentors. Faced with all of these decisions, it is probably a good time to think about what these students actually want, where they want to live, and what type of practice they want. We talk about finding options and exploring what is and isn't a good fit. Show Notes: [01:03] Morgan is a D4 student at UTHSC College of Dentistry. She is from Indiana. [01:10] Anna is also a D4 at UTHSC. She is from Connecticut. [01:26] Tessa is also a D4 from Knoxville, TN. [01:58] Dental school was different than they thought it would be. The time commitment is much bigger. [02:39] The computer system and the school system took awhile to get the hang of. [02:55] After graduating, you realize how much you don't know. [03:09] What is next and how to deal with that. [03:30] For Anna associateship is an option. Where depends on the licensing. Finding a good mentor is also an option. [04:33] Find where you want to go and then find a job. Or find a job and go there. [05:28] It's okay to find an opportunity and learn and then move on. [06:02] Find a dentist you know and get them to introduce you to their network. [06:38] Dental reps can be great resources for finding dental jobs. [08:17] Cessa is not sure where she wants to go and is thinking about some type of government job. [09:20] Start to write down what you think life will look like in a year and 5 years. Put together your vision and your goals. This can push you faster by setting yourself up to accomplish things. [12:22] Traveling dentists in buses who go to schools. Morgan is applying for pediatric dentistry residencies. [14:20] A lot of people are going to specialize or at least going through the application process. [15:21] How sharing your goals can motivate you. [16:59] Just because there are a lot of dentists, it does not necessarily mean that it is saturated. You can separate yourself from everyone else. [18:45] Branding and social media and building your brand as a student. Start building a portfolio in dental school. [22:36] Consider getting a nice DSLR camera. [22:57] How to get to know a dentist you may want to work with. Go out to lunch with the team without the doctor. This can give you a real perspective. Also dig in to see what you have in common and what their long term goals are. [25:15] Set up a contract with a trial period. You either know if it is worth working for or that it is not working. [27:42] Have structure in place before starting an associateship or it could end badly. Also try looking at x-rays together to see if your treatment ideas are similar. [29:12] Anna asks about programs looking for associateships like Practice on Fire and DDSMatch. [30:05] The big thing to figure out is where you want to live. [30:15] Sit down and decide what you want and what you want life to look like. [31:34] You are never going to be ready for running your own practice. It is sink or swim. You can build good support with office managers etc. As always thanks so much for listening! If you like the show we would love for you to review the show on iTunes as well as spread the word!
