Being Deliberate when Starting Your Career in Pathology

Episode 18

Friday, July 24, 2020 • Duration 28:30

Time Stamps

00:00 Podcast Intro

00:51 This is a nice time of year for the academic calendar with new trainees starting residency, and new faculty starting their jobs, and people still in their first couple of years of being an academic pathologist. Why is it important for these individuals to be deliberate about how they begin their career?

04:18 When somebody is in training, there is a lot that is decided for them and things are predetermined. In residency that opens up quite a bit. Can you give us some insight into these goals you are talking about? On a smaller scale, how do you set yourself up so you can be consistent in making progress?

07:55 Are you pretty deliberate about revisiting where you are with your goals? How do you check yourself?

10:30 Your success as a resident and as an attending, what advice works in both roles and what advice is good for a resident versus the attending?

13:53 When evaluating trainees there is a component regarding delegating work. The skill is critical to have when coming on staff either in an academic or nonacademic setting. Is there a way that you prepare trainees to develop their skills in delegating?

17:05 Sometimes things take you by surprise, which is a great learning opportunity. You have really navigated the system quiet well. I’m curious, what has been easy about this process and what has really been a challenge?

19:55 If you could do it all over again, what would you do differently this time?

25:22 Getting feedback and developing relationship the way you can be, is that a lost opportunity?

00:00 Podcast Intro

01:05 Why is it important to explain the laboratory to patients? How important it is to have open/honest communication with patients?

07:05 With your experience in talking with children and their families is your focus on the child and the parents picks up on your efforts? Or are you addressing the child separately from their parents?

11:10 What tips would you have for pathologists as they approach certain situations (approaching the bedside, engaging with patients, answering questions regarding lab tests or biopsies, etc.)

16:26 What are your tips for clinicians on explaining the laboratory to patients?

20:22 For our student listeners, what has been your most impactful lesson learned?

Stop—Collaborate and Listen

Episode 16

Friday, June 5, 2020 • Duration 23:05

00:00 Podcast Intro

00:53 There seems to be a lot of buzz around the need for interprofessional education and interprofessional collaboration. Can you kind of take us through these concepts? How are they the same, or how are they different?

02:37 What’s the why here? Why should health care institutions, us as individuals, why should we prioritize this interprofessional education or collaboration in practice?

05:34 I imagine there are a lot of people listening who have meetings…for example we have medical technologists that are involved in a meeting and pathology residents, pathologists, and so you have people together. Does that mean that intercollaboration is happening, or happening well? Is there some way to understand that?

11:03 What do you think that the challenges are that get in the way of developing this skill of interprofessional collaboration?

16:17 Critical reflection

19:20 What has surprised you most about interprofessional collaboration?

20:42 Underscoring the importance of laboratorians and clinicians having a strong collaboration during the COVID pandemic
