Drs. Mollie Grow (Pediatrics) and Stefan Wheat (Emergency Medicine) discuss how faculty can get involved in improving climate health. Climate change is the single greatest public health threat of the 21st century and US Healthcare accounts for 8.5% of total US greenhouse gas emissions. The UW School of Medicine offers collaborative opportunities from medical student-led curriculum changes to an annual multi-disciplinary symposium. In every day practice, we can replace single-use PPE with reusable PPE, reduce single-use plastic at events involving food, and reduce use of anesthetic gasses in clinical spaces. Planetary health is human health, and we can all make changes and get involved to reduce our impact.Below is a list of resources to join in this work.Links to get involved:UW Sustainability Action PlanUW Center for Health and the Global EnvironmentFunded Climate and Health Research opportunity for WWAMI researchersGreen SeattleJournal of Graduate Medical Education's Climate Change and GME supplementClimate SolutionsWashington Physicians for Social ResponsibilityClimate Change and Health BootcampClimate RxEmail Stefan at wheati2@uw.edu and Mollie at HMollie.Grow@seattlechildrens.org for additional opportunities and information.Read the episode transcript here.Music by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com/)

WWAMI is an acronym for Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho… and it refers to a program created by the University of Washington that allows dozens of medical students from those states to study at the UW School of Medicine. The aim is to produce highly-skilled doctors who will go back and practice in rural, underserved areas of the Western U.S. But not everyone is happy with the 54-year-old program. Two bills have been introduced in the Idaho legislature: one that decreases the state’s participation in WWAMI and one that severs it completely. Guest: Emina Gulbis, an Idaho native and WWAMI student and in her fourth-year of medical training, who recently wrote in defense of Idaho’s participation in WWAMI Relevant Links: WWAMI has a vital role in the health care infrastructure of the state of Idaho Idaho considers end to 50-year physician-training partnership with University of Washington over ‘Idaho values’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cities in postcards and sweeping film shots are all dramatic skylines and big recognizable features, but to really love a city is to know it on the ground level. The spaces that build community, shape culture, and support neighborhoods may not always be the flashiest silhouettes, but they're often the most iconic to the people who live amongst them. This is something Vanishing Seattle knows all too well, as they've built an expansive media movement around shining lights on displaced small businesses and disappearing local institutions across the city. In their most recent collaborative endeavor, Signs of Vanishing Seattle: Places Loved and Lost, Cynthia Brothers and the Vanishing Seattle team have compiled a handheld visual scrapbook of spaces that have influenced Seattle culture over the decades. In 2016, Cynthia Brothers took to social media under the title Vanishing Seattle to document restaurants, businesses, venues, and other local institutions being pushed out and shut down by shifting priorities, urban development, and gentrification. Over the years, Vanishing Seattle has brought countless people together over small businesses still trying to make it in a rapidly changing city and the growing number of old haunts that have closed for good. Via their own online community as well as through media coverage, award-winning documentary shorts, and public presentations, the group has strived to show and tell the ways these establishments shape culture and why people should care about keeping their doors open. Signs of Vanishing Seattle draws from a 12,000-square-foot interactive exhibit dedicated to community-sourced local legacy that Brothers curated in the historic RailSpur building in 2023. This book preserves the ephemeral exhibit into physical form – combining photos of the original signage from shuttered establishments that was on display with the personal notes visitors left under the faded font of their once-favorite cafe or the bar where they saw their first punk show. Signs of Vanishing Seattle presents a first-hand visual history of the way gathering spaces, local commerce, and physical objects connect communities and hold memories long after the neon goes dark. Cynthia Brothers is a born and raised Seattleite, nonprofit consultant, and the founder of the Vanishing Seattle project with a background in advocacy for immigrant rights, arts & culture, and online organizing. She is a founding member of the anti-displacement organizing group Chinatown-International District (CID) Coalition and has twice been named one of “Seattle's Most Influential” by Seattle Magazine. Brothers and Vanishing Seattle have been featured in publications including the Seattle Times, the New York Times, Real Change, and Crosscut as well as outlets like King 5, KEXP, and KUOW. Tom Eykemans is a designer and artist preoccupied with books and the Pacific Northwest from his studio at the historic Woodland Theater in Ballard. Born in Seattle and an alumnus of the University of Washington, he spent a decade designing books at UW Press and is now design director at Marquand Books. Tom is co-founder of the nonprofit Seattle Art Book Fair, owner of the independent Tome Press, advisor to ARCADE Magazine, and instructor at the UW School of Art. He has received many design recognitions, given numerous talks, contributed to various art shows, and has been featured in The Stranger, at SxSW, and by the Washington State Book Awards. He also studies and teaches traditional martial arts at the sixty-year-old Seattle Kung Fu Club in the C-ID. Buy the Book Signs of Vanishing Seattle: Places Loved and Lost Third Place Books

Often, receiving a cancer diagnosis can require a crash course in oncology that few patients ever expected to take. For colorectal cancer specialist Dr. Dustin Deming, the ACI/Schwenn Family associate professor in the division of hematology, medical oncology and palliative care at UW School of Medicine and Public Health, a diagnosis of rectal cancer two weeks after receiving his first faculty appointment required an education of a different sort. Deming, a gastrointestinal oncologist and laboratory researcher for UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center, told CURE®, needed to learn how to be a patient. “For me, the crash course was in being able to allow my medical friends to be my doctors,” said Deming. “So, that was the part that I really had to wrap my head around. I knew what we needed to do. I knew I knew what I was about to go through. But I hadn't sat in the patient chair before. And so, the crash course that I had to enter was the crash course in what it's like to be a patient.” Deming was 31 at the time of his diagnosis in 2012, married and with a 12-week-old daughter who he'd brought to his colonoscopy appointment. Treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation followed, with Deming working as he was able to do so. While colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer diagnosis in the United States, only 2% of new cases occur in patients ages 20 to 34, with the majority of cases (25.5%) occurring in patients ages 65 to 74, according to the National Cancer Institute. “It's obviously extremely ironic, and (was) potentially life-shattering at the time,” Deming said. “You know, when I was diagnosed, I had a 12-week-old daughter who came to the colonoscopy with me. Getting that kind of news at 31, I don't think anybody's prepared for. Having been a colon cancer doctor and researcher was helpful in that it provided me in insight into what we needed to do. But it was also terrifying, in that I knew all the dirty secrets.” After being cancer-free for eight and a half years, Deming experienced a recurrence in 2020. He received further chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, followed by a second recurrence about a year later that was treated with surgery and chemotherapy. Approximately 10 months after his latest surgery, he has no evidence of cancer. Dustin spoke with CURE's “Cancer Horizons” podcast about his cancer journey, the connections it's created with his patients and his continuing dedication to treating others. “Having been a patient myself, I feel like — now, I don't know how it feels for each individual patient, but I know how it feels for me — I know how it feels to hear the ‘cancer' word, I know how it feels to have to go through chemo, radiation and multiple surgeries,” Deming said. “So, every time I meet a patient for the first time, I sit down and tell the patients kind of where I've been so that they know where I'm coming from and also (to) make sure that they know that I now get it and that I'm actually truly honored to be part of the team helping take care of them.  “I know what it means to trust oncologists with your care, and I'm so glad that I'm here to be able to help more patients.” For more news on cancer updates, research and education, don't forget to subscribe to CURE®'s newsletters here.

We want you to get to know your doctor before meeting them in person because you're making a life changing decision and time is scarce. The more you can learn about who your doctor is before you meet them, the better that first meeting will be. When you head into an important appointment more informed and better educated, you are able to have a richer, more specific conversation about the procedures and treatments you're interested in. There's no substitute for an in-person appointment, but we hope this comes close.Meet The Doctor is a production of The Axis, made with love in Austin, Texas.Are you a doctor or do you know a doctor who'd like to be on Meet the Doctor podcast?

Thanks for joining me for the 466th episode of Admissions Straight Talk. I am taking a week off for family time this week. As a result, I decided to air an encore of our most popular premed podcast so far in 2022. It is my interview with Dr. LeeAnna Muzquiz, UWSOM Associate Dean for Admissions. Given that the 2022-23 med school application cycle is moving into high gear I thought it was a great time to highlight this interview with the admission dean at the program that is ranked #1 by US News for primary care and a not-too-shabby #9 for research. I assume that many of you are also taking a spring break right now be it for a day or two or a whole week or more. I hope you can spend it with loved ones.
