00:00:00,301 --> 00:00:02,718
(soft music)

2
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:07,050
- This is Lab Medicine Rounds,

3
00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:08,880
a curated podcast for physicians,

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,130
laboratory professionals and students.

5
00:00:11,130 --> 00:00:11,999
I'm your host,

6
00:00:11,999 --> 00:00:12,832
Justin Justin Kreuter,

7
00:00:12,832 --> 00:00:15,240
the Bow Tie Bandit of
Blood Transfusion Medicine

8
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,520
pathologist at Mayo Clinic.

9
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,790
Today we're rounding
with Dr. Isabella Holmes,

10
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:24,150
a first year pathology
resident at Michigan State,

11
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:27,810
to discuss her residency
trading experience so far.

12
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:30,660
Thanks for joining us today, Dr. Holmes.

13
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:33,540
- Thank you so much for
having me Dr. Kreuter.

14
00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:35,910
- So, this actually ties back

15
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:37,800
a little bit to an earlier podcast

16
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,977
that we had, which was
really talking about ,

17
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:47,090
how is this initial
introduction to pathology going,

18
00:00:47,310 --> 00:00:51,183
advice for those that are
coming into the field.

19
00:00:52,284 --> 00:00:55,077
And we wanted to do kind of
this follow up and you know,

20
00:00:55,077 --> 00:00:59,430
now that you have this first
year almost behind you,

21
00:00:59,430 --> 00:01:00,730
we're recording this

22
00:01:01,862 --> 00:01:04,503
on May 31st, 2023.

23
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:06,610
Maybe let's kick off

24
00:01:07,458 --> 00:01:10,050
and let's start by telling
our audience your story

25
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:13,950
and maybe why you decided
to become a pathologist.

26
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:16,350
- Yeah, so I feel like my story is,

27
00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:18,060
everyone's journey to pathology

28
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:19,050
is a little bit different,

29
00:01:19,050 --> 00:01:21,600
but it's kind of all the
same in that pathology

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,070
sort of found us.

31
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:25,683
And so I feel like my story echoes that.

32
00:01:26,853 --> 00:01:28,620
So I grew up in Arizona.

33
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:31,740
I went to Northern Arizona
University for undergrad

34
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:33,210
and then I went to Lake Erie College

35
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:36,663
of Osteopathic Medicine in
Florida for medical school.

36
00:01:38,049 --> 00:01:39,870
And when I was in medical school,

37
00:01:39,870 --> 00:01:42,660
I found myself a lot of the time asking

38
00:01:42,660 --> 00:01:44,820
a lot of super detailed questions.

39
00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:47,137
And most of the time I
would get a response of,

40
00:01:47,137 --> 00:01:48,150
"Oh well that doesn't matter.

41
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:49,320
We don't care about that."

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,153
And so then I'd be like,

43
00:01:50,153 --> 00:01:51,720
oh, okay, well,

44
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,318
I was kind of hoping for a little bit more

45
00:01:54,318 --> 00:01:55,151
and I noticed that I was asking

46
00:01:55,151 --> 00:01:57,990
a lot of my questions based
off of pathophysiology.

47
00:01:57,990 --> 00:02:00,183
So I was like venting to a
friend one day and I was like,

48
00:02:00,183 --> 00:02:02,400
"I don't know what I'm gonna do.

49
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,140
I really just enjoy reading Robbins

50
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:06,270
and then I just wanna
read Robbins all day."

51
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:07,103
And she was like,

52
00:02:07,103 --> 00:02:09,480
"Wow, well you should
be a pathologist then."

53
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,313
And then I was like,

54
00:02:10,313 --> 00:02:11,910
"That's actually a really good idea.

55
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:14,097
I think I will be a pathologist."

56
00:02:15,234 --> 00:02:17,280
And it kind of made sense
that I ended up in pathology

57
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,977
because between med school and college,

58
00:02:20,977 --> 00:02:23,970
I was a faculty laboratory
instructor in chemistry labs.

59
00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:26,883
So I taught organic chemistry
and general chemistry labs.

60
00:02:27,866 --> 00:02:29,340
So when I left that job I didn't think

61
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:31,560
I would ever be going back to the lab.

62
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,390
And I was kind of disappointed,

63
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:36,750
even though med school was
still my dream and everything,

64
00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:40,590
but that's how far like
pathology wasn't even a career

65
00:02:40,590 --> 00:02:41,763
I had in mind.

66
00:02:42,694 --> 00:02:44,844
So I'm really glad that
pathology found me.

67
00:02:45,817 --> 00:02:47,510
And you know, as soon as I set up

68
00:02:47,510 --> 00:02:51,450
a rotation in pathology, I
knew within like the first,

69
00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:52,980
I don't know, it's like
love at first sight.

70
00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:55,560
It's like as soon as I walked
into that lab I was like yep,

71
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,063
this is definitely for me.

72
00:02:58,343 --> 00:02:59,910
So I never looked back.

73
00:02:59,910 --> 00:03:02,550
I'd like to thank my
friend Katarina Kosheri.

74
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:05,493
She's the one who told me to do pathology.

75
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:11,760
- I know, friends help
friends find pathology.

76
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,760
- They see things in you that
you don't see yourself, right?

77
00:03:15,780 --> 00:03:17,520
- Yeah, yeah, so true.

78
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,070
So maybe can you then
with that kind of tell us

79
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:21,660
kind of maybe the what,

80
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:26,660
like what has this first year
sort of been for you in terms

81
00:03:26,989 --> 00:03:29,139
of what's that rotation
look like and then,

82
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:33,093
how has has that experience been?

83
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:38,460
- So I feel like the first word
that comes to mind is fast.

84
00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:41,260
I feel like this year has gone by so fast

85
00:03:43,032 --> 00:03:44,220
and I really can't even believe

86
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:47,283
that I'm about to be a second
year pathology resident.

87
00:03:48,488 --> 00:03:49,321
I kind of,

88
00:03:49,321 --> 00:03:51,960
I feel like a lot of first
year pathology residents feel

89
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,670
this way that I kind of feel

90
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:55,770
like I'm not ready to be a second year.

91
00:03:55,770 --> 00:03:59,640
It's like everything went by
in such a blur and you know,

92
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,890
in pathology a lot of the time.

93
00:04:01,890 --> 00:04:04,320
I mean we all have varying
experiences of what we get

94
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,140
exposed to in med school,
so it's kind of like,

95
00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:10,140
I feel like I still have my
training wheels on and I'm not

96
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:12,690
really sure what I'm gonna
be able to let those go.

97
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:18,360
And thankfully my program is
like so nice and so supportive

98
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,360
and so they're like totally okay with us,

99
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,113
walking us through the field
of pathology step-by-step.

100
00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:28,080
And I'm kind of, I don't know,

101
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,050
I feel like our rotations too,
they're only two weeks long.

102
00:04:31,050 --> 00:04:33,900
So you're there for the
first week and you're like,

103
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:34,950
what's happening?

104
00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:36,240
Where do I show up?

105
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,100
And then by the second week
you sort of start to know

106
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:40,080
what's going on and then it is time

107
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,243
to start a different rotation again.

108
00:04:43,507 --> 00:04:44,757
So it's been a whirlwind,

109
00:04:45,746 --> 00:04:46,770
but I feel like I have gotten

110
00:04:46,770 --> 00:04:48,600
a little bit better at certain things.

111
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,940
So I feel like that's progress.

112
00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:51,783
But yeah.

113
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:54,960
- As you talk about this experience

114
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,450
of going through these rotations,

115
00:04:57,450 --> 00:05:01,200
that's one of the things that
I've also kind of reflected on

116
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,200
for learners and how you're
really doing this kind

117
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:08,310
of rapid sequencing through these

118
00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:10,860
different facets of pathology.

119
00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:14,040
Given that it's like really
an apprenticeship, right?

120
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,780
It's a cognitive apprenticeship

121
00:05:15,780 --> 00:05:18,273
you're learning as well as skills.

122
00:05:20,460 --> 00:05:23,130
Do you have any advice for listeners

123
00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:26,670
who might be going into
pathology residency

124
00:05:26,670 --> 00:05:30,660
as far as how they can set themselves up

125
00:05:30,660 --> 00:05:33,063
for a success during that and I guess,

126
00:05:34,836 --> 00:05:38,280
try to start to take a little
bit of ownership for things?

127
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:42,363
I know that's kind of a
classic challenge, but.

128
00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:44,063
- Yeah, so,

129
00:05:44,063 --> 00:05:47,384
and I was kind of thinking
about this question a lot

130
00:05:47,384 --> 00:05:49,045
'cause I was thinking about

131
00:05:49,045 --> 00:05:50,820
what I've actually done myself and then,

132
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:53,310
what I feel like general advice is.

133
00:05:53,310 --> 00:05:55,800
So there's kinda like two
different answers there.

134
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,880
For me, what has helped me
take ownership of my cases,

135
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,880
and this is kind of, I don't
know if other people do this,

136
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,230
but when I'm reading through

137
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:06,450
the clinical history of the patient,

138
00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:09,810
sometimes if I'm looking at
slides I'll look at it blind

139
00:06:09,810 --> 00:06:11,610
and then I'll go through the history.

140
00:06:11,610 --> 00:06:14,040
But a lot of the time I start
off with the history the most.

141
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,010
I spend like 20 minutes
digging through the chart

142
00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:18,840
and what really helps me connect

143
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,310
with the patients 'cause even though

144
00:06:20,310 --> 00:06:23,790
you're not there face-to-face
is I actually read the social

145
00:06:23,790 --> 00:06:27,060
work notes because those kind of give me

146
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:30,330
like a good idea of like a picture

147
00:06:30,330 --> 00:06:32,460
of that human that's

148
00:06:32,460 --> 00:06:36,333
on the slide or that I'm
calling for over the phone.

149
00:06:37,974 --> 00:06:39,690
And I haven't really heard that a lot,

150
00:06:39,690 --> 00:06:43,920
but for me that's what
really makes me motivated to,

151
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,630
not only get them,

152
00:06:45,630 --> 00:06:47,040
help get the correct answer,

153
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,250
but also to see the case
all the way through.

154
00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:53,310
And I've noticed that
the patients that I do

155
00:06:53,310 --> 00:06:56,250
look into their personal
history a little bit more,

156
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:58,875
I actually remember them
and I write them down

157
00:06:58,875 --> 00:07:01,230
in my notebook and I actually follow up

158
00:07:01,230 --> 00:07:04,290
on them later because
you get that little bit

159
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:08,163
of personal touch that sometimes
is lacking in pathology.

160
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:11,400
And so that's what I like to do.

161
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,190
I know that like other people
take ownership in cases,

162
00:07:14,190 --> 00:07:15,693
the general advice is,

163
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,800
you need to learn from
these cases 'cause they're

164
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,740
pertinent to future cases in your board.

165
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:24,150
So this is a good,

166
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:26,673
it's always like, this is
a good example for this.

167
00:07:27,516 --> 00:07:29,340
And so I know that's how some
people take ownership too.

168
00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:30,450
So I've kind of,

169
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:32,007
I do like a little bit of mix of both,

170
00:07:32,007 --> 00:07:35,290
but for me it's really
like the personal history

171
00:07:36,238 --> 00:07:38,133
that keeps me invested in the case.

172
00:07:39,150 --> 00:07:40,500
- This really resonates with me.

173
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:43,120
I was just at a noon conference

174
00:07:44,254 --> 00:07:46,260
where somebody was presenting a case

175
00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:47,370
of something where,

176
00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:51,930
there's only been 20 describes
in the world literature,

177
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:53,043
but there were,

178
00:07:54,397 --> 00:07:58,800
it was a great example for
several different things

179
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,450
in the transfusion medicine world.

180
00:08:00,450 --> 00:08:01,560
And it was like, okay,

181
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,510
even though this is this very rare case,

182
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:04,343
there are these,

183
00:08:04,343 --> 00:08:08,970
this is a great examples for X, Y, and Z.

184
00:08:08,970 --> 00:08:12,137
I tend to get the most
out of that by kind of,

185
00:08:12,137 --> 00:08:14,910
I know for me at the end of the day

186
00:08:14,910 --> 00:08:16,380
kind of reflecting back.

187
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:20,040
I usually just take about
15 minutes before going home

188
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,743
and just kind of jot down notes on,

189
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,500
what did we learn or discuss today

190
00:08:27,571 --> 00:08:29,086
and is there something
where I was like, geez,

191
00:08:29,086 --> 00:08:33,420
I bet I need to read a
little bit more on that.

192
00:08:33,420 --> 00:08:34,960
What's your process look like

193
00:08:36,009 --> 00:08:37,830
for kind of capturing the learning?

194
00:08:37,830 --> 00:08:39,330
- Yeah, I do the same thing.

195
00:08:39,330 --> 00:08:41,670
I have a notebook,

196
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:44,400
just a standard composition
notebook that I,

197
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,810
it's basically attached to me

198
00:08:45,810 --> 00:08:48,270
with every rotation and I try

199
00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:49,890
to remember it as much as I can.

200
00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:53,220
Sometimes I forget it but I
usually bring it down to sign

201
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:56,640
out and every time I hear a
word or something I'll just like

202
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,220
jot it down really quick
and then look it up as soon

203
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:01,830
as I get the chance back at my desk.

204
00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:06,330
I try to not leave the day
without having at least looked up

205
00:09:06,330 --> 00:09:08,670
everything in the notebook
because I feel like

206
00:09:08,670 --> 00:09:10,740
in the beginning I got into the mindset

207
00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:11,940
of oh I'll write it down

208
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:14,040
and I'll look it up later.

209
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,180
Later never comes, it's
like today or never.

210
00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:19,980
And so I feel like I've really learned

211
00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:24,299
to seize the day in pathology residency,

212
00:09:24,299 --> 00:09:26,879
but that's what I do and it's
been working a lot better

213
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:29,220
actually committing to that.

214
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:31,689
And also not like worrying so
much about writing down every

215
00:09:31,689 --> 00:09:34,353
single thing that the attending is saying,

216
00:09:35,417 --> 00:09:38,250
because I'm also very
much an auditory learner.

217
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:40,710
So if I'm too busy writing things down,

218
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:43,051
I'm not gonna actually learn
from that person who's trying

219
00:09:43,051 --> 00:09:44,883
to teach me in that moment.

220
00:09:45,739 --> 00:09:46,860
So you don't need to copy everything,

221
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:51,240
just write down a couple of
like key like memory joggers.

222
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,492
Yeah.

223
00:09:52,492 --> 00:09:54,133
- Yeah, I can see that.

224
00:09:54,133 --> 00:09:56,433
I also wanna applaud and highlight, right,

225
00:09:57,388 --> 00:09:58,221
that this skill

226
00:09:59,592 --> 00:10:01,530
that you just articulated right of you,

227
00:10:01,530 --> 00:10:03,810
you started one thing and that was,

228
00:10:03,810 --> 00:10:07,503
you're gonna jot things down
that you need to look up,

229
00:10:08,868 --> 00:10:12,598
but then you discovered
or recognized for yourself

230
00:10:12,598 --> 00:10:14,161
that you weren't following,

231
00:10:14,161 --> 00:10:18,150
you're writing this stuff down
but not capitalizing on it

232
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:20,040
the way I think you intended.

233
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,570
How did you catch yourself?

234
00:10:21,570 --> 00:10:24,120
Because that's something that all of us,

235
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,030
I continue to work on catching myself.

236
00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:28,030
How did you do that?

237
00:10:29,654 --> 00:10:31,353
- That's a good question.

238
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,073
I don't know.

239
00:10:37,073 --> 00:10:38,100
I feel like it was just,

240
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,630
when you're doing something
for so long and you're not,

241
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:45,660
I guess for me maybe it
goes back to like exercise

242
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:47,740
and like staying committed to something

243
00:10:48,850 --> 00:10:50,040
and I feel like I have

244
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,840
learned what it means to show
up for myself in terms of like

245
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,200
exercise and eating
right and sleeping well.

246
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,480
And so when I started
to notice like, okay,

247
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,620
well I keep not doing this and
that list and that notebook

248
00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:07,500
just kept getting longer and
then at a certain point you get

249
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,870
anxious because you're
like, well now you know,

250
00:11:09,870 --> 00:11:11,820
it's like giant laundry pile,

251
00:11:11,820 --> 00:11:14,310
it becomes too much to tackle.

252
00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:15,330
And so then I'm like, okay,

253
00:11:15,330 --> 00:11:17,940
well obviously what I'm
doing isn't working.

254
00:11:17,940 --> 00:11:20,250
And this did take me a
couple, like a few months,

255
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:22,710
probably like three or four
months to be totally honest,

256
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:23,610
to figure it out.

257
00:11:23,610 --> 00:11:27,241
So it's not like I
recognized it right away.

258
00:11:27,241 --> 00:11:29,011
- Good, you're a human
like the rest of us.

259
00:11:29,011 --> 00:11:30,515
- Yeah, yeah.

260
00:11:30,515 --> 00:11:33,360
But I think it comes back to
like exercise and just being

261
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,250
healthy and like learning.

262
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:36,810
Like that's how I learned

263
00:11:36,810 --> 00:11:39,270
how to show up for myself
if that makes sense.

264
00:11:39,270 --> 00:11:44,248
And so I knew that like
education wise and academically,

265
00:11:44,248 --> 00:11:48,510
I was not doing what I needed
to do for success for me.

266
00:11:48,510 --> 00:11:50,550
- So this reminds me another podcast

267
00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:52,410
that we did earlier about no

268
00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:54,810
excuses where we had somebody,

269
00:11:54,810 --> 00:11:58,920
they were also tying it into
kind of that physical exercise

270
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,673
and how does that translate
into their clinical practice.

271
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:05,280
One of the things I'm curious about,

272
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,990
we're kind of been talking about how you

273
00:12:06,990 --> 00:12:09,270
and yourself have been developing,

274
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:13,620
navigating residency,
wonderful words of wisdom

275
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:15,600
for our listeners, especially those

276
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,800
that are going into the field.

277
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,633
But I think

278
00:12:18,724 --> 00:12:20,400
for us that are educators to reflect

279
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,130
on how we're setting our
students up for success,

280
00:12:23,130 --> 00:12:25,113
helping 'em make that transition,

281
00:12:26,010 --> 00:12:30,430
what does that look like as
far as that that culture,

282
00:12:32,421 --> 00:12:34,023
that interprofessionalism of,

283
00:12:35,705 --> 00:12:38,913
you're a physician now in
Michigan and there's other,

284
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:42,150
and there's residents who are surgeons,

285
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:44,760
residents who are internal medicine.

286
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,540
I imagine you're interacting
with them professionally,

287
00:12:48,540 --> 00:12:51,900
but how is that kind of
going or how is that working?

288
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:55,920
Is it working the way you
imagined it would work,

289
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,540
those kind of connections?

290
00:12:57,540 --> 00:12:59,193
Is that happening by,

291
00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:01,493
I don't know.

292
00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:03,950
Is there kind of a,

293
00:13:04,830 --> 00:13:06,363
what's that community like?

294
00:13:08,321 --> 00:13:11,880
- So I think it's really
fun actually and I think,

295
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,140
I don't know at Michigan I feel,

296
00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:14,760
I'm sure it's like this
in a lot of places,

297
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,660
but everyone is just so nice

298
00:13:18,663 --> 00:13:19,496
and I do it,

299
00:13:19,496 --> 00:13:20,910
we connect the most I feel like,

300
00:13:20,910 --> 00:13:22,350
well, cause I'm a first year anyway,

301
00:13:22,350 --> 00:13:25,240
on autopsy and micro

302
00:13:26,074 --> 00:13:26,970
and then on transfusion.

303
00:13:26,970 --> 00:13:28,950
I feel like that's when I am doing that

304
00:13:28,950 --> 00:13:31,440
interprofessional house officer

305
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,680
to other house officer
type of communication.

306
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,750
And since I'm on autopsy right now,

307
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:40,260
I feel like that is like the
easiest thing to speak about.

308
00:13:40,260 --> 00:13:41,640
Basically we had a case

309
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,990
where we've had some unexpected findings

310
00:13:46,091 --> 00:13:47,700
and I usually page the clinician

311
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:49,440
in the morning to ask,

312
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,603
hey, like is there any specific questions?

313
00:13:53,144 --> 00:13:55,050
And the house officer
called me and he just,

314
00:13:55,050 --> 00:13:58,680
it was just like a very
relaxed conversation.

315
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:03,609
It kind of felt like in med
school when I'm just talking

316
00:14:03,609 --> 00:14:06,063
to my fellow med students,
just like very casual,

317
00:14:07,332 --> 00:14:09,570
giving the information that
we need to know and you're not

318
00:14:09,570 --> 00:14:13,920
worried about sounding silly
or saying the wrong thing

319
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,870
just because it's just like that.

320
00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:17,820
I don't know that open vibe.

321
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:20,310
And so I feel like we had a
really good discussion that

322
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:23,070
morning and then later
he actually called me

323
00:14:23,070 --> 00:14:24,150
and texted me again.

324
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:26,850
He was like, "Hey, I'm just
really curious about that case."

325
00:14:26,850 --> 00:14:28,260
And for me like I was like,

326
00:14:28,260 --> 00:14:30,420
this is awesome because
like someone's interested

327
00:14:30,420 --> 00:14:32,490
in autopsy, like that's great,

328
00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:34,020
'cause I feel like,

329
00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:36,150
sometimes you don't get
like that participation

330
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:37,830
as much as you would want.

331
00:14:37,830 --> 00:14:39,960
So then it felt like my work was really,

332
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,520
really valued then.

333
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,580
And so then I called him back
and we had a great discussion

334
00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:46,620
and that's just happened like recently.

335
00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:49,012
So that's why it's fresh in my mind.

336
00:14:49,012 --> 00:14:49,845
But I don't know,

337
00:14:49,845 --> 00:14:52,560
I feel like it's very casual
here and a lot of people

338
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,210
go by first name basis,

339
00:14:54,210 --> 00:14:56,760
which I think also kind of helps when,

340
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,500
he answers the phone, he's
like, "Hey, it's Chris."

341
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:00,894
And I'm like, "Hey, it's Izzy, what's up?"

342
00:15:00,894 --> 00:15:01,800
And I don't know.

343
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,790
So that's how it's been as the
house officer communication.

344
00:15:05,790 --> 00:15:10,790
As far as the attending to
house officer relationship,

345
00:15:10,857 --> 00:15:13,320
I feel like, I don't know, they do a good,

346
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,540
I'm a very anxious and nervous person.

347
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,360
So when I don't know something
I feel like a lot of pressure

348
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,100
to answer a certain way.

349
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:23,040
But I feel like Michigan
has done a really good job

350
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,230
at like calming me down

351
00:15:25,230 --> 00:15:27,630
and not making me as nervous to the point

352
00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:32,520
where I feel pretty
comfortable majorly messing up

353
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,970
and saying silly things in
front of most of my attendings.

354
00:15:35,970 --> 00:15:39,600
Which I feel like is a really
good and kind of necessary

355
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,880
comfortable learning environment

356
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,440
because especially for someone like me,

357
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,990
like I'll just not say
anything if I'm nervous,

358
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:48,333
I'll just be quiet the entire time, so.

359
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:51,750
- Absolutely, actually
if I can underline that

360
00:15:51,750 --> 00:15:53,592
for the listeners,

361
00:15:53,592 --> 00:15:58,592
I think that is a profound
realization and one that I

362
00:15:58,740 --> 00:16:01,113
recognize myself all too late.

363
00:16:02,049 --> 00:16:04,410
There was a lot of quiet just in,

364
00:16:04,410 --> 00:16:06,840
during trading and it really

365
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,681
wasn't until I was more
senior where I was like,

366
00:16:09,681 --> 00:16:13,830
this is the time that I
need to make mistakes.

367
00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:15,663
And then by making mistakes,

368
00:16:17,137 --> 00:16:20,940
my attendings understand how to correct me

369
00:16:20,940 --> 00:16:24,723
and coach me to do better going forward.

370
00:16:25,971 --> 00:16:27,120
And that escaped me for a while.

371
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,453
So kudos for appreciating that.

372
00:16:31,487 --> 00:16:33,000
And do you have any kind
of advice for people?

373
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,320
'Cause I imagine,

374
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,600
you've seen others kind
of struggle with this

375
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,600
and how do you help them
to realize to speak up

376
00:16:41,610 --> 00:16:45,093
and making mistakes is
okay when you're training?

377
00:16:46,290 --> 00:16:49,200
- Yeah, so let's see,
how should I word this?

378
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,530
I feel like I have gotten to
a point now for the most part.

379
00:16:52,530 --> 00:16:56,370
I'm like 70% there where
I'm basically shameless

380
00:16:56,370 --> 00:16:58,653
at this point because it's like,

381
00:17:00,810 --> 00:17:03,610
it's a good way to think
of it or a good metaphor

382
00:17:04,925 --> 00:17:06,330
is you know how you're studying for a test

383
00:17:06,330 --> 00:17:09,430
and you don't necessarily
understand a topic

384
00:17:10,455 --> 00:17:11,288
and so you're kind of like,

385
00:17:11,288 --> 00:17:13,440
ah, I just don't wanna deal
with that topic right now.

386
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,110
I'll focus on this other
stuff and take the test.

387
00:17:16,110 --> 00:17:20,310
And then that topic that you
avoided is all over the test

388
00:17:20,310 --> 00:17:22,890
and then you're kind of just
like, that's embarrassing.

389
00:17:22,890 --> 00:17:25,200
I should have just like asked
and then I would've gotten

390
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,300
a good grade or something like that.

391
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,460
I kind of take that
approach to residency now

392
00:17:31,362 --> 00:17:34,380
because I have noticed that when I try

393
00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:35,820
to avoid something that I don't

394
00:17:35,820 --> 00:17:39,000
understand because it's
either conceptually

395
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,490
very difficult or it's something

396
00:17:41,490 --> 00:17:42,750
that I should feel like I should

397
00:17:42,750 --> 00:17:44,313
already know by now.

398
00:17:45,210 --> 00:17:47,370
And so it's kind of
like that embarrassment,

399
00:17:47,370 --> 00:17:49,140
I'm just afraid of being like, wait,

400
00:17:49,140 --> 00:17:51,030
can you explain this to me?

401
00:17:51,030 --> 00:17:54,000
It's really just hurting myself
because the further I get

402
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,710
into residency it's gonna
just affect me more and more

403
00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:59,820
and then at a certain point

404
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:01,373
it's gonna be even harder to come

405
00:18:01,373 --> 00:18:03,243
and ask for help.

406
00:18:04,277 --> 00:18:05,430
So I just have been like, okay, wait,

407
00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:06,900
I'm sorry, I don't know anything.

408
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:09,270
Can you please explain this to me?

409
00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:11,070
And I feel like taking that approach

410
00:18:12,783 --> 00:18:14,700
of kind of subtly humbling myself,

411
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,430
which I feel like I came into
this process pretty humble,

412
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:22,430
but man I have been humbled
a lot more since then.

413
00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:24,300
I feel like, I don't know,

414
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:26,640
I don't really think anyone is like,

415
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,050
don't think that people are judging you

416
00:18:30,420 --> 00:18:32,850
because we all started in different spots

417
00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:34,410
and I know that some more senior

418
00:18:34,410 --> 00:18:35,583
attendings may have,

419
00:18:37,290 --> 00:18:41,762
their beginning residency
days are long behind them.

420
00:18:41,762 --> 00:18:42,595
But I don't know,

421
00:18:42,595 --> 00:18:45,490
for me talking to the fellows
also really helps because

422
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:48,510
they're in some subspecialty training,

423
00:18:48,510 --> 00:18:50,160
but they're pretty close to you

424
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,620
as far as where they were at in residency.

425
00:18:52,620 --> 00:18:53,790
And especially at Michigan.

426
00:18:53,790 --> 00:18:55,290
We have a lot of our fellows,

427
00:18:55,290 --> 00:18:58,923
like most residency programs
that also did residency here.

428
00:18:59,924 --> 00:19:02,160
So when you know I'm talking
to this heen path fellow

429
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,410
that I think is a total genius

430
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:06,510
and I'm like, oh this is awful,

431
00:19:06,510 --> 00:19:07,353
I suck.

432
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:09,307
And he's all like,

433
00:19:09,307 --> 00:19:10,650
"Oh, when I was a resident,

434
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:12,540
I didn't even know this
until my third year.

435
00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:13,860
So like, you're way ahead."

436
00:19:13,860 --> 00:19:17,370
And then I'm like, "Okay, okay."

437
00:19:17,370 --> 00:19:18,840
You know?

438
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,200
So I don't know, I guess
just be open and shameless.

439
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,370
I don't know if that's good advice,

440
00:19:23,370 --> 00:19:24,780
but that's what I'm doing.

441
00:19:24,780 --> 00:19:25,800
- Right on.

442
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,270
As we're kinda hitting on advice,

443
00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:28,103
I'm kind of curious,

444
00:19:28,103 --> 00:19:30,737
what do you think for you has been kind

445
00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:33,540
of the biggest surprise
of residency training?

446
00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:35,133
I kind of got an eye for,

447
00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:37,740
something that you didn't expect,

448
00:19:37,740 --> 00:19:38,700
but wow, this,

449
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:40,743
this was really a surprise this year.

450
00:19:42,210 --> 00:19:46,094
- I think that the biggest
surprise for me actually is

451
00:19:46,094 --> 00:19:47,340
and I feel like this
shouldn't be a surprise,

452
00:19:47,340 --> 00:19:50,220
this should be kind of, I guess expected,

453
00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:55,220
but is just how supportive
the attendings are with us.

454
00:19:56,010 --> 00:19:59,160
I mean they really value,

455
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,020
like they actually care

456
00:20:01,020 --> 00:20:04,230
whether or not I'm
understanding a concept.

457
00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:06,960
It's not just like a nine to five job,

458
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,260
they're just getting it done
and leaving for the day.

459
00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:12,240
They actually care and get,

460
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,850
are gratified from me learning something.

461
00:20:14,850 --> 00:20:18,570
And so to me that makes
me feel like just so good

462
00:20:18,570 --> 00:20:22,560
and just like so cared for I guess.

463
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,393
So I'm just,

464
00:20:23,393 --> 00:20:26,223
I'm surprised at how cared for I feel.

465
00:20:27,933 --> 00:20:29,980
Like in my program I could tell them

466
00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:33,210
that I'm having the worst day of my life

467
00:20:33,210 --> 00:20:35,048
and they would be like, okay, yeah.

468
00:20:35,048 --> 00:20:39,000
How can we support you and
like what do you need from us

469
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,260
to like help you?

470
00:20:40,260 --> 00:20:42,330
And they're not judgmental about it.

471
00:20:42,330 --> 00:20:44,490
They, I don't know, it's like,

472
00:20:44,490 --> 00:20:47,010
it's kind of like we're all
like friends which isn't like,

473
00:20:47,010 --> 00:20:50,160
I know there's like a hierarchy
and like a respect thing,

474
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,980
but it really doesn't feel
like that a lot of the time.

475
00:20:52,980 --> 00:20:56,280
So it's pretty cool. I just
got married for example, right?

476
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,190
And so I had all these
attendings emailing me

477
00:20:59,190 --> 00:21:01,200
like being how was the wedding?

478
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,520
We wanna see pictures.

479
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,140
And it's just like, I don't know,

480
00:21:04,140 --> 00:21:07,260
that sense of community
is just like not something

481
00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:08,730
I was expecting to find.

482
00:21:08,730 --> 00:21:10,080
So it's great.

483
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,629
- Yeah, just to highlight
that for the listeners.

484
00:21:13,629 --> 00:21:16,150
I mean I think in any program you go to

485
00:21:17,070 --> 00:21:19,350
there's obviously gonna be a spectrum,

486
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:24,210
but I think overall faculty
are very dedicated to training,

487
00:21:24,210 --> 00:21:25,260
to the residents

488
00:21:25,260 --> 00:21:27,960
and I think being upfront
and communicating,

489
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,327
that helps us not only
with learning stuff,

490
00:21:30,327 --> 00:21:34,263
but helps to support us each
other during challenging times.

491
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,830
I wonder if I could kind of
ask you to look into the future

492
00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:41,070
now as we close out
this particular episode.

493
00:21:41,070 --> 00:21:45,390
And so, I hope we can grab
you again in the future,

494
00:21:45,390 --> 00:21:49,080
Dr. Holmes, and do another check-in.

495
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,450
So you're headed into your second year

496
00:21:51,450 --> 00:21:54,065
of residency training.

497
00:21:54,065 --> 00:21:56,640
I'm kind of curious of
kind of what do you think

498
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,333
is gonna be your biggest
challenge for the year ahead?

499
00:22:02,831 --> 00:22:04,973
How are you thinking
about being successful?

500
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,950
What kind of tactic approach
are you kind of thinking about

501
00:22:07,950 --> 00:22:09,123
for that challenge?

502
00:22:11,490 --> 00:22:15,070
- I feel like my biggest
challenge going into second year

503
00:22:16,677 --> 00:22:18,330
is not really, I guess it, I don't know,

504
00:22:18,330 --> 00:22:20,013
I would say it's a challenge but,

505
00:22:21,607 --> 00:22:24,543
so my husband is technically
living in New York right now,

506
00:22:25,511 --> 00:22:28,350
so when I come home I
don't have anything else

507
00:22:28,350 --> 00:22:31,080
to do besides go work out,

508
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,740
work on research, do things for residency,

509
00:22:34,740 --> 00:22:38,008
whether that be studying,
presentation, whatever.

510
00:22:38,008 --> 00:22:39,660
So I think it's gonna
be challenging for me

511
00:22:39,660 --> 00:22:41,370
'cause he's moving here
in a couple of weeks,

512
00:22:41,370 --> 00:22:45,120
which is awesome, 'cause
long distance is not fun.

513
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,700
But when I get home I feel like I'm gonna

514
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,923
really want to just be home.

515
00:22:51,223 --> 00:22:53,970
And so a lot of the time I'm
in this habit of coming home

516
00:22:53,970 --> 00:22:56,430
and doing my work at home
because I like to hang out

517
00:22:56,430 --> 00:22:58,906
with my cats and stuff like that.

518
00:22:58,906 --> 00:23:01,440
So I'm gonna have a lot
of like work life balance

519
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,523
adjustments that I'm not really
sure how to navigate yet.

520
00:23:06,458 --> 00:23:08,250
But I'm hoping that I'll just navigate it

521
00:23:08,250 --> 00:23:09,720
the same way I did in med school.

522
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,080
But residency is a lot more
time commitment than med school,

523
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,555
I feel like.

524
00:23:14,555 --> 00:23:16,710
I feel in med school you
have a lot more autonomy

525
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:19,773
of your free time versus in residencies.

526
00:23:21,001 --> 00:23:22,470
So that's I feel like
my biggest challenge.

527
00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:24,000
And then, sorry, there
was a follow up question,

528
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,290
I don't remember.

529
00:23:25,290 --> 00:23:27,630
- Well and I was curious about does that,

530
00:23:27,630 --> 00:23:30,600
do you think it's fair to say
that because I agree with you,

531
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,330
like it seems like each
stage of training there,

532
00:23:33,330 --> 00:23:34,530
there's potentially,

533
00:23:34,530 --> 00:23:38,460
I mean there's more of a
demand on our time but also,

534
00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:42,090
'cause you've been successful
with the previous step,

535
00:23:42,090 --> 00:23:45,530
it's kind of an incremental
and survivable is that kind,

536
00:23:45,530 --> 00:23:47,955
do you think that's fair to say?

537
00:23:47,955 --> 00:23:49,020
I don't want to be sending

538
00:23:51,450 --> 00:23:53,940
inappropriate sunshines
and rainbows, but you know,

539
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:56,430
I think also to say that, you know,

540
00:23:56,430 --> 00:24:01,012
if you find that you
struggle with something,

541
00:24:01,012 --> 00:24:02,670
I think it sounds like speaking up

542
00:24:02,670 --> 00:24:04,290
and talking to colleagues,

543
00:24:04,290 --> 00:24:07,800
it sounds like you have
an awesome support network

544
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,270
there in your residency.

545
00:24:09,270 --> 00:24:12,090
And I think, for any
residency somebody goes to,

546
00:24:12,090 --> 00:24:14,460
I'd say that same piece of
advice and I don't know,

547
00:24:14,460 --> 00:24:17,550
does that seem to resonate with you?

548
00:24:17,550 --> 00:24:20,190
- Definitely, and what
I've noticed from talking

549
00:24:20,190 --> 00:24:23,980
to my colleagues about my
struggles that I've been having,

550
00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:27,480
99% of the time you're not the only person

551
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,850
that's currently experiencing that.

552
00:24:29,850 --> 00:24:32,250
I feel like I can always find
like one to two other people

553
00:24:32,250 --> 00:24:35,550
that are also experiencing the
same emotion that I am about,

554
00:24:35,550 --> 00:24:37,350
whatever it is that's going on.

555
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:38,940
So you're never alone.

556
00:24:38,940 --> 00:24:40,230
And then also,

557
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:42,813
talking to your more senior residents,

558
00:24:44,098 --> 00:24:44,940
they really, I don't know my,

559
00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:48,030
the senior residents here
I feel like are very chill

560
00:24:48,030 --> 00:24:50,970
and really like bring you
back down to the ground.

561
00:24:50,970 --> 00:24:54,723
So I feel like that support
has also been helpful.

562
00:24:56,220 --> 00:24:57,330
Yeah.

563
00:24:57,330 --> 00:25:00,630
And as far as your a whole
adaptability thing and sunshine

564
00:25:00,630 --> 00:25:04,080
and rainbows and stuff, I
totally, I do agree with you.

565
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,030
I do think that,

566
00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:08,751
every time that you've made
it through something that you

567
00:25:08,751 --> 00:25:11,700
didn't think you were gonna get through,

568
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:13,710
and not to sound so dramatic,

569
00:25:13,710 --> 00:25:15,360
and you still made it through,

570
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:16,560
I mean that, you,

571
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,770
it's not like that experience
just happened and you survived

572
00:25:19,770 --> 00:25:24,180
and you left like you learned
and grew from that experience

573
00:25:24,180 --> 00:25:26,850
to become the person that you are now.

574
00:25:26,850 --> 00:25:27,683
So I feel like,

575
00:25:27,683 --> 00:25:28,516
especially for me,

576
00:25:28,516 --> 00:25:31,440
like looking back and thinking
about who the person I was

577
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,413
like 10 years ago when I was in college,

578
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:39,180
I couldn't even imagine like
the stuff that I'm doing today,

579
00:25:39,180 --> 00:25:42,657
I would've never imagined that
I was capable of doing these

580
00:25:42,657 --> 00:25:44,730
things and you know,

581
00:25:44,730 --> 00:25:46,980
being at such a great pathology program.

582
00:25:46,980 --> 00:25:51,210
I mean, I remember like
I just wanted a job

583
00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:52,590
at one point in my life

584
00:25:52,590 --> 00:25:56,520
and I was like a maid
for a long time and so,

585
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,980
you just never know what's
gonna happen and you know,

586
00:25:58,980 --> 00:26:03,750
I feel like you do get stronger
and that's not to like harp

587
00:26:03,750 --> 00:26:05,940
on the whole resilience term,

588
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:08,310
'cause I know that's kind of a hot topic,

589
00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:12,600
but you do get stronger and you
do build a strong foundation

590
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,600
of how to get through problems
and you get faster at,

591
00:26:18,450 --> 00:26:20,250
getting solutions to those problems,

592
00:26:20,250 --> 00:26:21,573
if that makes any sense.

593
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,470
- We've been rounding with
Dr. Holmes talking about her

594
00:26:25,470 --> 00:26:27,810
residency training experience.
