Stopping the cycle of bullying: How empathy and inclusion can change lives

However, the same scene, with the blue bench, in the dark right corner of the playground, keeps Read more… Stopping the cycle of bullying: How empathy and inclusion can change lives originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Translating Pre-Medical Experiences into Clinical Skills
As a pre-medical student in college, it can be overwhelming deciding how to allocate your time outside of classes. A good first step is to try a variety of activities and to intently pursue those that fulfill you the most. While you should take into account admission requirements and experiences to maximize your competitiveness (i.e. clinical experiences, research, and volunteer service), the driving force for how you spend your free time should be where your passions lie. Ultimately, pursuing your passions will inherently make you a stronger (and more unique) applicant. Now that I have finished my core requirements as ...

Data ’ s Role in Health Equity: Digging into the Root of the Problem
As we’ve been becoming more patient centric in healthcare, we have become more and more aware of the challenges different demographics face while trying to receive the care they need. As a result, health equity has been a hot topic and organizations have been searching for solutions. Because in order to put our patients first, we need to be sure that includes all of our patients, not just some of them. But just as important as finding solutions are, we need to be sure that we do it right. A problem as deep as inequality can’t be fixed with temporary solutions just like you can’t fix a leaky pipe with some...

A pediatrician ’ s view on critical self-talk among patients and doctors
A young teen patient, eyes averted, clutching a cell phone, sits in my office. It’s a scheduled annual exam, and the patient reports some ailments—fatigue, anxiety, and poor sleep.

Approaching a Half-Century of Life With Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
On July 24, 2023, I will mark 47 years of having lived with autoimmune Type 1 diabetes (T1D). I was diagnosed as a seven year old, so not quite fifty years ago, but much closer than I ever really anticipated. When I was diagnosed in 1976, no one told me that I should expect horrific complications or that I ' d die young because threats weren ' t part of the conversation; some may have been due to my age. But there was also no such thing as a certified diabetes educator in 1976; instead, pediatric nurses instructed patients on how to give themselves an injection. In fact, scientists had only proven that Type 1 diabetes h...
