In the early 1990s, a group of five women— Diane Boykin (M’98), Leah Matthews (M’97), Sylvia Morris (M’98), Jessica Osborn (M’97), and Angela Walker (M’97) —developed a friendship as students at Georgetown School of Medicine. Their book, "The Game Plan: A Woman’s Guide to Becoming a Doctor and Living a Life in Medicine," offers a comprehensive, practical guide for aspiring women physicians, from taking the MCATs and applying to medical school, to choosing a specialty, to making a job change. https://bit.ly/49nodYv

In one of the more fulfilling projects of the year, a group of senior #MedEd scholars at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, including Terry Kind & Katherine C. Chretien (who is now at The Johns Hopkins University), mentored an extremely talented GW medical student, Jacob Nasser. Jacob did the heavy lifting in our paper that examined the characteristics of students applying to competitive surgical residencies. We were looking to identify predictors of matching success, which included geographical connection and an away rotation (4/10): https://lnkd.in/e7u5UNkE

I had the pleasure of delivering the keynote to the Tacoma MEDEX class 10. It was an honor to see 30 newly minted PAs full of excitement as they embark on their careers. I am adding my remarks. The 12 lessons I learned after 40 years. 1. Stay humble no matter how accomplished you become, humility keeps you honest. Don't be afraid to ask for help. 2. Listening is an art. The three other instruments to bring to the exam room are Your eyes hands and compassion. It is a sacred place. Patients trust you by your very presence. They will share stories, don't be shocked. Save your shock for outside the room. Be prepared for door know moments, it's the reason they need to be seen. 3. Fear is good. If the patient is going to keep you up at night, you're not done. Develop a strong differential, if you don't think of the disease you'll never find it. Follow up. 4. Treat the patient not the disease. Who is this patient? what obstacles do they face in finding care? Can they afford your prescription and plan? 5. Never take away hope even in a terminal illness. Assess what they want to know, help your patients prepare for the worst and hope for the best because patients change what they hope for. Don't be afraid to share their sorrow. It shows you're human. 6. Get out of your "fraidy hole" (Oklahoma term for where you go there's a tornado) never be afraid to ask for help. 7. Always do the right thing. Every patient deserves your best. 8. If the shoe doesn't fit, find another shoe. Find the organization that will help you thrive as a PA. 9. Be kind. There will be times you will be challenged by patients physicians and organizations. State your case without anger and you will be heard. 10. You can guide healing when there is no cure by providing a safe place built with empathy. You will meet courageous patients, let then teach you how to live. 11. You are the future of medicine. Medicine is about finding our share humanity in a world constantly pressuring us to take shortcuts and to rely on impersonal ways of managing complex human problems. It takes a team. 12. Join your state and national organization and bring your time and talent. We're here to help. Good luck and may the force be with you. Congratulations

Peer into the hushed room captured by Honoré Daumier's 'The Autopsy,' and feel the weight of history in the study of medicine. Each figure is absorbed in a ritual of learning that dates back centuries—a testament to the enduring quest for knowledge that underpins the practice of healing. Daumier's brushstrokes reveal the reverence and somber reflection that accompany such lessons, where the silent teacher on the table had a story, a life that once was. In moments like these, we're reminded of the delicate balance between the scientific and the sacred in medical education. Here at Baylor, as we look upon such powerful imagery, we're inspired to carry forward the torch of compassionate care. It’s a visual dialogue between past and present, urging us to remember that behind every lesson learned in anatomy or pathology, there are human lives that have been lived, stories that have concluded, and families that have loved. This painting is not just art; it’s a narrative. It prompts us to ask: How do we, as future healthcare professionals, honor the invaluable contributions of those who came before us? How do we ensure that with each incision, we cut with precision as well as with humility and respect? As we mold the next generation of healthcare leaders, let’s continue these conversations, ignited by artworks such as Daumier's, within the Baylor Medical Humanities program. Let's pledge to not just learn the science but also the human stories that our profession is privileged to serve. #MedicalHumanities #Baylor #HealthCare #Compassion #Empathy
