A recording of the public session is now available 😎🤓 If anyone is interested in a 10-min summary of some of the things I read, write, think, and talk about in my professional work, you’ll find it at about the 51 min mark in the video linked here. https://lnkd.in/g3uxXwb6

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

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

I watched this video three times and I cried three times ... I asked myself why 🤔 Eventually, I think that this is because it conveys such an extraordinary message of - generosity - social inclusion - intergenerational solidarity - the power of education in creating self-empowerment and dignity - the multiplier effect of health-care workers on human health as a pre-requisite for well-being. We must strive to make these cases ordinary. Let's give our best to find the right recipe in every action for sustainable development! The people that we serve deserve it. system thinking , foresight, UN2.0, Madagascar Quintet of Change Lab

👋 Meet ORS Member Dr. Alayna E. Loiselle, Associate Professor and Principal Investigator at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Her research focuses on tendon fibrosis and regeneration. As a Kappa Delta Young Investigator and Adele L.
