Saint Michael's Medical Center’s Post

International Medical Graduate representation in Collegiate and Academic leadership in medicine has been scientifically proven to increase positive clinical outcomes, not just in culturally diverse cohorts and patient populations, but overall improvement across all demographics. Yes! IMG doctors like Dr. Ruaa Elteriefi MD FACP who are Program Directors and/or leadership positions in residency programs are quite literally changing the face of American Healthcare and bridging care gaps on a daily basis. Personally, this is one of my biggest inspirations to continue fighting the good fight of #HealthEquity through #Diversity. Several theories arise referencing cultural competency, accurate communication for patients with language challenges, and diversity of therapeutic modalities tailored with greater precision and personalization as potential avenues and strengths that are fueling these initiatives with proven results. The integration of internationally-trained physicians and scientists represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to bridge care gaps among every single member that composes a part of our society. IMGs = More Americans have access to care = Black and Brown America's health and community needs are taken care of with objectively measured better outcomes. What are your thoughts?

I always enjoy having conversations with our Dean of the UAG International School of Medicine, Dr. Ahmad Kashif, about how our curriculum is evolving and learning about the ways we help our students become successful future physicians. On Monday, I had the honor of hosting a webinar with Dr. Kashif to talk about the medical education at UAG and the measures being taken to ensure its quality. His insights are truly enlightening! #UAGSOM

Thankfully, our research paper entitled "Attitudes of Undergraduate Medical Students toward Patients' Safety in Jordan: A multi-center cross-sectional study" was accepted for publication at BMC Medical Education (Q1, IF:3.9) Our study is the largest to investigate this concept in a single country, with a representative sample of 1226 participants from all medical schools. We provide baseline data to improve current educational programs and enhance patient's safety culture among medical students https://lnkd.in/eb3UyHan

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

The Flexner report was very specific, targeted, and also devastating report. The planning and foresight was impressive, and this is how big families/family money remains in power. Planning, patience, foresight. Most people, including me, think of their own lifetime and children, but less so much about generations from now when we are long gone. The book "the Fourth Turning" goes into this, along with "Generations" and is why history repeats itself. There are some patient, powerful people who are busy orchestrating the next decades while most of us average folk go along for the ride and react to what is happening now or the near term trend rather than in the planning of those trends. Specifically the Flexner report was about better living through chemistry, getting rid of true healthcare (naturopathic, homeopathic, chiropractic alignment etc calling them "alternative" not funding their education, casting doubt upon its efficacy…) while promoting the treating symptoms with chemicals as opposed to getting to the root cause and helping people get well. We have a sick care model by design. A patient cured is a customer lost.
