10 Highlights from the 2019 SharpBrains Virtual Summit to shape the Future of Brain & Mental Health
_____
Wow. Fascinating three days last week. Some of our favorite moments and take-aways…
1. Dr. Tom Insel provided a spectacular overview of the digital revolution in brain health and mental health. While we have historically failed to bend the curve as well as in other areas of health, since “you can’t manage what you can’t measure”, new digital and neurological monitoring technologies are finally allowing us to remedy that fundamental issue, identify problems early and intervene early. Multiple Speakers during the Summit like Dr. Srijan Sen, Jan Samzelius and Louis Gagnon built upon Insel’s remarks with much...

Self-Career Development Tactics for 2019
You're reading Self-Career Development Tactics for 2019, originally posted on Pick the Brain | Motivation and Self Improvement. If you're enjoying this, please visit our site for more inspirational articles.
Big corporate leaders who managed to achieve paramount success with their companies had one thing in common (probably more but here is the one that stands out) – they did not let their careers happen. They invested themselves in it. They worked hard for it. Finally, they planned it. In no way their success was accidental.
With the employers being reluctant to invest into developing their employees today (mostly due ...

Five Essential Guidelines to Improve Brain Health for All
Since 2010, the SharpBrains Virtual Summit has been bringing together neuroscientists, entrepreneurs, and practitioners with a mission to improve mental healthcare, brain performance and general well-being.
As we get ready to host our next collective brainstorming next week, let us share some key themes from our last Summit, as they helped shape the Agenda for this next one.
In 2017, the gathering’s tone was generally optimistic–given the explosion of scientific and technological breakthroughs, start-ups and investments–but important ethical concerns were also widely discussed.

Surgical Coaching as a New Option; Will Busy Surgeons Respond?
All practicing physicians are challenged by the fact that healthcare is constantly changing because of new scientific and therapeutic advances. Additional burdens in the U.S. are the complex bureaucracy and reimbursement requirements as well as technical challenges such as those associated with EHRs (see:Relationship Between Clerical Burden and Characteristics of the Electronic Environment With Physician Burnout and Professional Satisfaction). Surgeons, in particular, face additional burdens as they age because of the manual dexterity that is required in the operating room. I was not familiar with coaching programs for sur...

World Health Organization Recommends Against Screen Time for Infants
Screen-time guidance is a first for the World Health Organization (WHO). As part of a larger report on the risks of physical inactivity and sleep deprivation for children under age 5, WHO recommends no solitary, sedentary screen time at all for infants up to age 1, and only an hour a day for children ages 1 to 5.
Editor’s note: As always, children who use low- and high-tech augmentative and alternative communication devices (AAC) should continue to use them at all times—and in an interactive way.
The guidelines say infants should get at least 30 minutes each day—spread throughout the day—on their stomachs, as well...

The Continuum of Nurse Career Growth
The growth of your career as a nurse can be consciously self-generated, or simply a result of happenstance and alaissez-faireattitude towards professional development. Neither of these options are necessarily bad in and of themselves, but a thoughtfully sculpted career is definitely fodder for a much richer, satisfying, and rewarding trajectory.Whereas employment can often feel like a means to an economic end (ie: survival), there is also the notion that work is an avenue to self-awareness, a sense of personal pride, contribution to community and society, and a more full engagement in life.Work, Fear and StruggleIt is true...

Book Review: Continuing Professional Development in Medicine and Health Care: Better Education, Better Patient Outcomes
The
imperative that physicians and all health care professionals must engage in
lifelong learning to remain professionally competent has been a recurring theme
for decades. The default has been to rely on lectures, the traditional continuing
medical education (CME) format, and journals to convey needed information. Now
it is recognized that the pace of change—as reflected by estimates of the
doubling time of medical knowledge, which have decreased from 7 years in 1982,
to 3.5 years in 2010, and is projected to be 73 days in 20201—has
accentuated the difficulties of remaining competent, let alone current, and the
