"It is time that every health profession school specifies their criteria for optimal teaching primary care practices and for the training that would optimize their students' experience. It is time that we, as primary care physicians, advocate for the resources necessary to expose ourselves and our students to the best that primary care has to offer — and, in doing so, provide the best possible care to our patients. We deserve that, as do our students and most importantly, our patients." Russell Phillips is an internal medicine physician. He shares his story and discusses the KevinMD article, "Flip the axis: primary care rotations." Did you enjoy today's episode?

"Obesity is genetically common in our family. I was being gaslighted and judged by a bunch of obese people, most of whom were doing nothing to improve their health and obesity issues. Yet they fully believe to this day that I am just naturally thin and could not possibly understand their obesity issues. When all I have ever suffered from is normal weight obesity and, in my adult years, being overweight and obese, no matter how diligent my diet, exercise, and lifestyle." Marc Nelson is a scientific researcher. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "My journey being gaslighted about obesity, skinny fat, and body type." Did you enjoy today's episode?

"No matter how far we've come, women are still judged by fertility status but shouldn't be. If it's clinically pertinent to ask about reproductive health, then yes, absolutely ask … in a respectful way. That doesn't mean judging personal decisions or situations – it means asking pertinent questions and responding with an assessment of the need for support. Make appropriate referrals when that support is needed. Don't assume. Everyone has their own story." Gail Miller is a life and wellness coach and a maternal-fetal medicine physician. She is the founder, Path Onward Life Coaching, and can be reached on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "If it's not clinically pertinent, then stay out of my uterus." Did you enjoy today's episode?

"Companies that embrace digital processes will reap the rewards, as shown by the Forrester survey taken in 2020 after the pandemic began. The survey found that digital document processes were helping organizations maintain their business resilience and even reap direct rewards of their digitization effort. By leveraging digital document processes, organizations can increase employee productivity and collaboration in a remote environment while continuing to serve customers. Nearly three-quarters of respondents said digital document processes supported their business continuity efforts." Bevey Miner is a health care executive. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "NLP and AI technologies streamline tedious health care processes to enable faster care." Did you enjoy today's episode?

"In silico technologies also enable drug developers to perform, in theory, an unlimited number of tests using a wide range of variables that include age, sex, and the health status of each member of the virtual patient pool, compared to the more restrictive parameters of a traditional trial. By reducing the amount of trial and error involved in collecting data, drug developers can focus on therapies that prove to be more effective in treating a specific group of patients." Tanja Dowe is a health care executive. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "The promise of in silico drug development to improve patient outcomes." Did you enjoy today's episode?

"While the world has spent the last two years laser-focused on the COVID pandemic, another public health threat is still lurking in the shadows: the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recognized since the early 1900s, yet rigorous research over the past decade has illuminated the magnitude of the threat and its implications for future infection control. More than 35 thousand patients die from antibacterial resistance every year, and antibiotic-resistant infections exceed 2.8 million annually, according to a CDC report released prior to the COVID pandemic." Anne Meneghetti is an internal medicine physician and health care executive. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Combatting antimicrobial resistance during COVID: What clinicians need to know." Did you enjoy today's episode?

"Every January, millions of people make New Year's resolutions. It's a joyous time full of high hopes. Ask people what they wish to achieve or hope to accomplish in the following year, and the answer will usually be something such as any of these: "I want to: lose weight; improve my finances; get a new job; exercise more; revamp a relationship; manage stress; stop smoking; set aside more time for myself." But according to U.S. News & World Report, the failure rate for New Year's resolutions is around 80%, and most people lose their resolve by mid-February. Why? Because when it comes time to take action, we hem and haw, deliberate and dither. We wait for the free time, the perfect day, the right season, a better mood, or optimal market conditions. Or we stall until we can resolve a medical crisis, smooth over a problem with the in-laws, or put some money in the bank." Nabil Fanous is a cosmetic surgeon and author of The Universal Rules of Life: 27 Secrets for Managing Time, Stress, and People. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "Stop the 'I will' habit." Did you enjoy today's episode? Rate and review the show so more audiences can find The Podcast by KevinMD.

"Nowadays, even scientific fact has been politicized. Even though many of us may wish to stay out of politics and stick to our "nobler" lane of medicine, the reality is even your clinical practice could be considered "picking a side." Do the right thing. If you're up for it, advocate for what is right too — for your patients, colleagues, yourself, your family, or this country. You are the face of the future, and your MD/DO/MBBS makes you more qualified to shape it than the many voices using their platform to broadcast untruths. If your program has a union, I highly encourage you to join it because your union will fight for fair working conditions, and strength lies in solidarity. The benefits you'll receive from joining a union will far exceed the cost of dues. If you're considering forming a union or becoming a union leader, that's even better. Regardless of your path, activism is becoming a part of medicine, and we cannot remain neutral. So keep learning, take care of yourself and each other, and work toward making the world a better place." Yuemei (Amy) Zhang is an anesthesiologist and can be reached on Twitter @yzhangmd1.

"With schools closed, children spent hours upon hours sitting in front of a screen for instruction and homework. Non-academic screen time increased as well, with parents needing to work from home and thus relying more on screens to occupy the children. Parents also were unable to police screen time as much as they had in the past. Much built-in physical activity of school was removed: from the simple act of walking between classes to recess to physical education to field trips. I have started wondering what would happen if we approach the obesity crisis like we approached the pandemic? By using the strategies that were used to "stop the spread," I believe we can reverse this trend of burgeoning childhood obesity rates." Teresa Fuller is a pediatrician. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Reversing the impact of the pandemic on childhood obesity." Did you enjoy today's episode?
