Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROM)

Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROM)

In this episode, Dr. Pervez Sultan, a leading expert in creating obstetric Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROMs), including the validated Obstetric quality of recovery (OBsQoR-10), discusses their future in our field. And let me tell you, their future is PROMising, from using it as a benchmark score to compare amongst institutions to analyzing results between obstetricians and anesthesiologists alike to explore which technique(s) (e.g., uterus exteriorization vs. no exteriorization; intrathecal morphine doses) provide the best functional recovery for our patients.

What’s the Deal With That Supreme Court Case?

What’s the Deal With That Supreme Court Case?

In June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in two cases about how admissions offices can consider an applicant’s race and ethnicity. Hannah and Mark explain the basics of the ruling and how it affects the work of the admissions office. Special guest Jeremiah Quinlan, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid, joins to share his insights on why the ruling should not affect how applicants and educators approach the college application process, as well as the details of Yale’s strategy for responding to the ruling to ensure that Yale’s student body remains diverse along all dimensions. The ruling changed the court’s interpretation of the law, but it did not change Yale’s values.

Social Justice, Activism & Health Disparities with Kendra Outler and Pebbles Fagan

Social Justice, Activism & Health Disparities with Kendra Outler and Pebbles Fagan

This week, I welcome two pioneers who’ve been deeply engaged in medical practice and training, research, health disparities, and community interventions for years. Dr. Kendra Outler and Dr. Pebbles Fagan join to share their experiences working in academic, government and military arenas, in urban and rural areas, and with marginalized communities. In this conversation, we consider how we treat one another in our communities and discuss the necessity of working in coalitions with a spirit of collectivism. Both guests describe the realities of navigating when resources are trimmed and when retaliation arises. They highlight the ways we can empower one another, instead of staying in a place of anger. They remind us of our need to be complimentary, knowing that there is a role for everyone to play. We also consider the role of gratitude and hope, amidst the necessity to push for progress and change. Another truly informative, thought provoking, and generative conversation

Ep. 8. The role of ultrasound for neuaxial guidance and gastric ultrasound

Ep. 8. The role of ultrasound for neuaxial guidance and gastric ultrasound

In this interview, I discuss with Dr. Perlas, the Director of the Anesthesia POCUS fellowship at the University of Toronto, the role of ultrasound for spine sonoanatomy and the future of gastric ultrasound. Dr. Perlas describes the patient population that benefits the most when using ultrasound for neuraxial analgesia and advises that we should practice this technique with patients with normal anatomy. Besides, she goes over several clinical scenarios where gastric ultrasound may benefit.
