Download or read book Pulse of Perseverance written by Pierre Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What drove three young black men, each from America's most urban environments, to achieve their dreams of becoming doctors? The answer is in the Pulse of Perseverance. In 1998, Max Madhere, Pierre Johnson, and Joe Semien were three young, black, premedical students at Xavier University of Louisiana. Each was struggling with the demands of Xavier's rigorous curriculum, yet each was determined to succeed, even if the statistics, or the stereotypes about black men, said otherwise. By drawing on each other's determination and individual strengths, they forged a brotherhood and created a bond so strong that it would carry them through college, medical school, and well beyond. Now they've come together in Pulse to share their stories and encourage young people of color to pursue high-level careers. Max grew up in New York City and Washington D.C., Pierre in Chicago, and Joe in New Orleans. Underperforming schools, instability in the home, the trappings of street life, or simply being "expected" to fail could have derailed their aspirations, yet all three men refused to accept failure as an option. No obstacle was too great, no ambition too high.Today, Dr. Maxime Madhere, Dr. Pierre Johnson, and Dr. Joseph W. Semien Jr. are each board-certified physicians, as well as fathers and community mentors. Their message in Pulse is both simple and complex: no matter where you're from, no matter what "society" tells you, you can realize your dreams with hard work, determination, and God's guidance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise and practical guide enables the gynecologist to differentiate between benign and malignant gynecologic conditions to determine the best management options for the patient. Over the past three decades, as the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology has matured into a broad and diverse group of skills and disciplines, it has become apparent that there are diagnoses and conditions in gynecologic oncology where the obstetrician-gynecologist has a level of uncertainty, or lack of confidence in his ability or knowledge base to adequately manage the patient and therefore refers the patient to a gynecologic oncologist. This text portrays the advances in the field and reviews the current management of a number of gynaecologic conditions to give the reader the confidence needed to deal with these issues. The distinguides Editors have crafted the book to include: Case vignettes to provide clinical context Pathology notes to aid diagnostic outcomes Management guidance for obgyn practitioners to enable the best outcome for their patients Each topic is introduced with a concise overview followed by case-based scenarios which discuss the specific management of common problems. Providing the general gynecologist with the current clinical information necessary to manage conditions and identify the situations where consultation or referral to a gynecologic oncologist would be in the patient’s best interest.

Download or read book Changing Landscape of Academic Women s Health Care in the United States written by William F. Rayburn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2005 a dozen states and more than 15 specialties have reported a physician shortage or anticipate one in the next few years. This anticipated shortage and a worsening of physician distribution are compounded by a projected increased demand for women’s healthcare services. Women’s healthcare is particularly vulnerable, because the obstetrician-gynecologist workforce is aging and is among the least satisfied medical specialists. Furthermore, fellowship training in women’s healthcare in internal medicine and in maternal child health in family and community medicine involves only a small portion of general internists and family physicians. In response to this challenge, the Association of American Medical Colleges called for an expansion of medical schools and graduate medical education enrollments. As we cope with significant and rapid changes in organizations and reimbursement, academic departments of obstetrics and gynecology, family and community medicine, and internal medicine have opportunities to create a unified women’s health curriculum for undergraduate students, share preventive health and well-woman expertise in training programs, provide improved continuity of care, instill concepts of lifelong learning to our graduates, and better develop our research programs. This volume’s chapters focus on strategic planning on behalf of academic faculty who will train the anticipated additional load of students, residents, and fellows in women’s healthcare. -changing demographics of faculty -expanding roles of clinician educators -physician investigators and their future -the hidden value of part-time faculty -faculty salaries -required skillsets of academic leaders -the meaning of tenure and faculty satisfaction and retention. Recommendations presented here from authors with distinguished leadership skills indicate a consensus, but not unanimity. In furthering these goals, we summarize in the final chapter our collective expertise and offer ways to implement recommendations to better prepare for tomorrow’s needs in academic women’s healthcare.

This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nothing more miraculous, natural, and beautiful than the birth of a child. From the moment a pregnancy is first confirmed, the event is filled with great hopes, dreams, and expectations by the prospective parents and their friends and families. In the majority of pregnancies, nature progresses without complications and results in a healthy outcome for both mother and baby. However, childbirth has never been a quick or easy process. During the years that I was an obstetrician, I always tried to let labor proceed as naturally as possible, but I was also immediately available to treat any complication that can occur prenatally or during labor and delivery. In this memoir, I have also described the rigorous and extensive training required to become a board-certified obstetrician, and I share with you some of the most amazing and interesting experiences during my career.

Download or read book Gynecologist Reflections written by M. D. F. A. C. O. G. Siegel and published by Lulu Publishing Services. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a physician's true story encompassing a myriad of authentic patient histories. Readers will find themselves intimately connected to the patient, the doctor and the too often dramatic medical issues which they are bound to resolve together. Each episode vividly depicts an individual woman's unique medical and emotional challenge which intrudes upon her health and life. Medical problems are not only harrowing enough to tear individuals and families apart but can also act to strengthen individual resolve and bind family members closer together. Many episodes inspire hope, end happily and provide an opportunity for a sensitively appropriate sense of humor. The patient is the primary focal point. The doctor's moral, ethical, legal, physical and psychological challenges are conflated with those of the holistically treated patient. The bond that grows between the doctor and patient is the writer's spiritual sustenance for the practice of medicine and the professional fulfillment of a childhood dream.
