We love this novel. Join us November 19 with the author, Jessi Gold, MD MS, and discuss the very important book “How Do You Feel.”

Expertly weaving research expertise with unforgettable stories and raw emotion, How Do You Feel? demonstrates the unbridled capacity that we as humans have for connecting, learning, and growing. At once deeply personal, but also utterly universal, it reminds us all that when caring for others, we first have to remember to care for ourselves.

Excerpt from the book: Life presents us all with challenges. Most of us at some point will be struck by major traumas such as the sudden death of a loved one, a debilitating disease, or a natural disaster. What differentiates us is how we respond. In this important book, three experts in trauma and resilience answer key questions such as What helps people adapt to life's most challenging situations?, How can you build up your own resilience?, and What do we know about the science of resilience? Combining cutting-edge scientific research with the personal experiences of individuals who have survived some of the most traumatic events imaginable, including the COVID-19 pandemic, this book provides a practical resource that can be used time and time again. The experts describe ten key resilience factors, including facing fear, optimism, and relying on role models, through the experiences and personal reflections of highly resilient survivors. Each resilience factor will help you to adapt and grow from stressful life events and will bring hope and inspiration for overcoming adversity.

This searing implication of the US healthcare system is a must read for everyone in medicine. Are we creating a system where physicians have to betray their oath to "Do No Harm"? Dean captures the pain, anger, and hope of the American physician. We are thrilled to sit down with Wendy Dean, MD an advocate for healthcare workers and Moral Injury. We will discuss her groundbreaking book "If I Betray These Words" With Simon Talbot, MD, Dean shares the struggle of a healthcare system standing in the way of patient care, and the moral injury of those who want to care for patients. Dean is the only individual to win the Sharp Index “Healthy Health Systems” award, as an advocate for changing the system. She is a thought leader for moral injury in healthcare and started the nonprofit Fix Moral Injury to address systemic issues. Make sure to get a copy of this must-read book for everyone in medicine!

We are thrilled to be joined by Susannah Fox, former CTO of HHS, to discuss her crucial book “ Rebel Health”.

Learn about the four types of patients, and what they mean for the future of healthcare. Anyone who has fallen off the conveyor belt of mainstream health care and into the shadowy corners of illness knows what a dark place it is to land. What is the relationship between patients and physician mental health? In Rebel Health, Susannah Fox draws on twenty years of tracking the expert networks of patients, survivors, and caregivers who have come of age between the cracks of the health care system to offer a way forward.

Physicians want to give great patient care- does the health system allow for that?

We are thrilled to be joined by the authors for this book club session! Resa E. Lewiss, MD and Adaira Landry, MD, MEd, are experts in emergency medicine. Now, they share critical career skills in their book. Join online and share your favorite MicroSkill. Discuss how medical education prepares physicians for leadership and career advancement.

Women represent 51.9% of matriculating physicians. Leadership percentages tell a different story. What are actionable steps to change this narrative?

Every big goal, complicated task, healthy habit, and, yes, even what we think of as character traits, can be broken down into small, learnable, skills that can be practiced, and incorporated real-time. These are called: MicroSkills.
