She is also the mother of a beautiful little girl. How does an MD/MPH, resident and mom have the time to develop useful tool for measuring how well we are prioritizing our own health? Let’s find out in the interview with Dr. Laura Vater. Life as a doctor and mom and how the SMILE Score helps [Show Notes] Our guest today is Dr. Laura Vater. Dr. Vater did her undergrad at Notre Dame, majoring in Biological Sciences and Poverty Studies. She earned her MPH from the University of Pittsburgh and her MD at Indiana University School of Medicine, where she is currently a resident in internal medicine. She is also the developer of The SMILE Score, which we will learn about in just a few minutes. Can you tell us about your background outside of medicine? Where you grew up? What you like to do for fun? [2:11] All of my family is from Minnesota. We moved to Indiana when I was a child for my dad’s job. We planned to move back, but then my mom decided she wanted to go to graduate school and then medical school, enrolling at age 37 when I was 9. Today all of my family still live in Indiana. In terms of what I like to do for fun, I have an almost three-year-old daughter and I’m a resident so I don’t have lots of time, but I love to be outside. I worked at Rocky Mountain State Park and just overall I love to hike and travel to national parks. I also love to read. How did you know you wanted to be a doctor? [4:36] My mom says I knew I wanted to be a doctor before her. I had a coach diagnosed with metastatic cancer when I was very young. I went with her to treatments and was with her when she passed away. This experience was very meaningful to me and I realized, that I wanted to be that person that helps someone navigate a serious illness who lets them know they are not alone in that. What was the hardest part of the med school application process for you? [6:42] I went to Notre Dame and pursued a science degree. I had a lot of experience in global and public health so I took three years between graduation and medical school – I took a gap year and then got my MPH. I took the MCAT a few years after taking the rigorous courses, and I wish I had taken it when I was fresh. Why did you decide to do a gap year between undergrad and your MPH? [8:06] I had watched my mother go through the rigors of medical school and medical training. She started when I was 9 and started practicing medicine when I was 16 so I had grown up watching her go through it. All along I knew medicine was the right field for me, but I knew how challenging it would be. I was very interested in global and public health so decided to spend a year teaching in Haiti first. At Notre Dame they have a career fair and a service fair, where they actively encourage graduates to pursue service, and there was an opportunity to serve in Haiti after the earthquake in 2010. They needed help with teachers and community health, and it seemed like a great way to pursue something different. Why did you choose to do the MPH? [10:41] My advisor in college was an expert in public health, and he exposed me to concepts in public health I hadn’t been exposed to elsewhere in science. It was really interesting to me to think about prevention. In the public health field we refer to a model where people are falling into the river, and the hospital/ICU is downstream pulling people out. But who is walking upstream to understand why people are falling into the river in the first place? That is what public health and prevention experts do – they look at the socio-economic determinants of health, and ways to make people healthier and happier through behavior change and social justice initiatives. I wanted that experience to frame the rest of my medical experience. What did you like best about your medical school experience at Indiana University School of Medicine? [12:43] The school has nine regional campuses across the state, and I was able to do my first two years with a very small class at Notre Dame, which was great since my husband was getting his MBA there at the time. I had all Notre Dame professors, some of whom had taught me in undergrad. I had great personalized help and access to resources there. When I transitioned to Indianapolis for the second two years I was able to be integrated into the academic medical center, so I was able to get an understanding of hierarchy staff, residents, and medical students. I had a wonderful experience there, and felt so supported and empowered. What could be improved? [14:22] The curriculum has changed subsequently in response to this, but when I was a first and second year we had an exam every three days, and we did not have a weekend off until Christmas break, which was really challenging for one’s mental and physical health. It would have been better to have a balance to ensure students had enough time to take care of loved ones and their health. Was there ever a time either in medical school or since when you really wondered if you had made a mistake and thought about leaving medicine? [15:26] I just finished a 28 hour call last night, and there have been times throughout residency when I’ve had those calls and have a viral infection. At 3am you are trying to lay down and you keep getting paged so you can’t get any rest, and then I can feel how hard I am pushing myself. It’s times like that I have asked myself if I made the right choice, and my colleagues agree with that. We have found strategies to rest, and to refocus thinking to make healthy choices in a rational way to feel better. There is never a lasting sentiment to quit. What is The SMILE Score? [19:11] I was taught to use memory devices to learn important information, but we have no memory tool to help us prioritize our health, which was striking to me. I know what behaviors make me healthy, but at times I am inconsistent. When I am very tired it can be hard to recall what I need to do to make myself feel better. In response I created a very simple tool to support my health. It is a daily self-assessment and takes less than a minute to do: S = Sleep. Am I getting the 7-8 hours I need? M = Movement. Have I been active today? I = Inhale and Exhale. Did I take a few moments to do deep breathing/meditation/de-stressing? L = Love/Connect. Did I meaningfully connect with another human being? E = Eat to Nourish. Did I choose the donut after call or get a meal that could nourish my body? I give myself a score between 0-5 and am very gentle with myself. When my score is low, my mood and energy level are lower, so it is a tangible way to take care of myself and take steps to make healthier choices. After encouragement I trademarked and copyrighted the idea, and it is being integrated into the wellness curriculum at Indiana. What is fascinating is there has been an interest in the SMILE Score from many others I did not anticipate. Physicians in California have included it in the health program for youth, and with patients to encourage a healthier lifestyle. As a clinician I plan to use this with my patients as a tool. We’ve discussed your education and your full-time and part-time work, what about your family. When the show airs it will be a few days before Mother’s Day. You have a beautiful family. How do you fit them in? [27:44] I have been married for six years and my daughter is nearly three. I have the most supportive husband. I tell my single friends to find a partner who is an advocate for you and really supports you. He believes more in my success than his own. He works fulltime from home with a flexible schedule in data analytics, so is able to drop our daughter off at day care and pick her up. Because of his support it allows me to be fully present when I am home. There are days when I don’t get to see my family as much as I like but we have found ways to make it work. On easier months we spend lots of time together. We do lots of pretend play with my daughter’s favorite characters, and it’s easier to balance than I thought because I watched my mom do it. How do you see your career evolving after residency? [29:29] I am in my second year of internal medicine residency. I will be applying for a fellowship this summer and plan to become an oncologist, most likely focused on breast or lung cancer. I see my career as a cancer doctor who cares about the complete quality of life and wellbeing of the patient. I anticipate my research will be focused on early detection and screening for cancer as well as quality of life. It is really important that we empower patients to be healthy from the very beginning from diagnosis to the very end. How can we let them have the best life possible with what we can do in medicine? What would you have liked me to ask you? [30:50] A lot of my friends who don’t have children ask me this – â€Å"When is the best time to have a child in medicine/medical training.† I asked my research mentor this very same question several years ago, and she told me to have a child when you are ready, because there is never a great time. So for us, we had our daughter during the fourth year of medical school, and I was able to spend eight months home with her. Others say during fellowship is a good time, but it really is when you and your partner are ready.

Dada Was A Radical And Cynical Artistic Movement - 1555 Words

Dada art was a radical and cynical artistic movement, which arose in reaction to the failings of society that led to the First World War. Dada revolted against the recognized tropes of the art world it sought to escape. It dismantled the image of art as the heightened, unique object by contradicting the established traditions and forms of western art to that time. This essay will discuss four of the ways Dada artists pursued this goal, namely through the use of everyday objects, eliminating meaning and function, the use of chance and a dismissal of art history. This essay will then argue that through these means, Dada artists successfully undermined the solemnity with which the art world regarded itself. Dada’s combination of wit and venomous sarcasm presented to the early 20th century a pointed re-articulation of its own reflection, making apparent the absurdity and meaninglessness Dada artists saw in the modern world. In the face of WWI’s atrocities, and the complex, ego-driven politics that had delivered it to the world, Dada rose as a rebuttal. This essay will conclude with observations of the influence of this short-lived but pervasive polemic on contemporary art practice. In order to understand the means employed by Dada artists, it is important to outline briefly the origins of the Dada movement. Leading to and during WWI, many artists, poets, filmmakers and other creatives fled to neutral Switzerland from across Europe to seek refuge. Zurich, in particular, becameShow MoreRelatedEssay The Avant-Garde Die First2300 Words   |  10 Pagesan error in believing the artist is always ahead of his time, will always be understood in the future, and is a well-intentioned progressive, because it ignores the present actions and consequences of modern art.

Political Perspectives On The Political System - 1365 Words

Political perspectives Ch. 2 VS. Dialogical ethics and significant choice Ch. 4 The political system is similar to communication theory in the sense that they both have interdependent rules and ethics that are important to the success of the members participating. Just as there are different compartments to politics, there for communications as well. There are specific values to politics just as there are to communications. Politics implements heavy usage of rhetoric, while a large portion of communications is based on rhetoric, and vice versa. Within the political perspective, there are many different theories. Specifically, I would like to focus on the Four moralities. Founded by Karl Wallace, he singles out four values and beliefs that he feels are essential to functionality of the political system. In simpler terms, the four values include respect, fairness, freedom, and belief. In order for citizens to instill these values, he created the four moralities, which is essentially an ethical guideline. These statements are utilized to promote the four values an d beliefs.

Writers And Poets Of The Post Holocaust Era - 1426 Words

Thesis: Writers and poets of the post-Holocaust era have struggled through language to record their experiences. Despite the challenges, these authors are dependent on the limits of language and its reliance on metaphors in order to communicate the meaning they ultimately set out to convey. The daunting and complex process of detailing the past is done for the preservation of memory. The way in which past events are documented determines the way that future events are defined. Thus, encapsulating the past contributes to the shaping of the future. Metaphors and figurative language play their part in this process since the significance and meaning of the Holocaust are as much a part of memory as its facts are. The Need for Facts: Through†¦show more content†¦In other words: people would have to deliver a considerable amount of believable facts. Inability to Have Facts: Such valuable facts are easily altered in memory, and then further adjusted through literary construction. Our brains do not store facts like movies on a disc, but rather like condensed and packaged information called ‘gist’. Events are summarized based on feelings instead of visual details. While this is efficient for storage and makes it easy for activation and association with the present experience, it is largely made up of sensational, emotional, and associative aspects instead of solid fact. (Boyd). As Young explains, â€Å"All writing, all composition, is construction. We do not imitate the world, we construct versions of it.† (Young). That ‘construction’ is as flawed as our ability to remember. Elie Wiesel struggled with words when writing his memoir Night. He found that he had plenty to say, but no way to say it. Wiesel observed the intrinsic meanings already associated with common words like ‘hunger’ and ‘fear’ and how they did not mean the same thing to him as the rest of humanity who had never endured Auschwitz. Chaim Kaplan voiced similar frustrations, lamenting that that only a divinely inspired pen could ever find the words to describe the destruction of his city. Dealing with No Facts: This inability to first capture and then portray facts is disturbing to survivors of the Holocaust. Wiesel warns, â€Å"Words destroy what

Current Ethical Issues University of Phoenix Ethics in Management PHL/323 June 12, 2011 In today’s society there are many decisions made every day that have an effect on not only a single person but can contribute to decisions and actions that many other people make as well. Many decisions have an ethical standpoint that each person must address to make sure that it is a decision they are ready and willing to make. Each decision needs to incorporate the main issues at hand, who it will affect and how, as well as any possible side effects from the decision.

When we think of Police Officers, we imagine individuals that are presented with a code of conduct. Officers are thought to be people that can be trusted and will help uphold the law. It is rare to hear about an officer involved investigation as most officers are able to maintain a good record and make confident decision with the moral code in place. The extra expenses to the city that these investigations require are a major drawback that has an impact on not only the officers but the entire community. Because the officers have already been screened they are often given the benefit of the doubt in the courts eyes and are allowed to continue their careers as long as they are able to justify their decisions and ensure that they were within the law.

A Holistic And Authentic Teacher Essay - 1566 Words

I believe that every student is a future employee; every person’s intelligence and abilities are far more complicated than his or her scores on standardized tests. To become a holistic and authentic teacher, begin by knowing yourself. Knowing what you can change and what you cannot change as a teacher is very important. A teacher’s values, beliefs, integrity, emotions, and needs determines who they are as a teacher. Being authentic and credible as a teacher will help gain the confidence and courage to acknowledge your limitations and your authentic self. Holistic and authentic teachers should value and embrace diversity and different learning styles that makes all of us unique human beings. They should foster collaboration instead of competition that will help students feel connected.
