Ivy Medical on LinkedIn: Ivy Medical joins AdoptIdee (2024)

White Coat ✅TBH, y’all, this white coat comes with mixed emotions. The White Coat Ceremony in medical education marks the transition from the student moving beyond the basic sciences into the clinical sciences portion of their education which is where all the fun happens. Whereas I appreciate the recognition of all of our hard work, I also recognize that this white coat historically and even presently has caused grievous harm. The entire field of gynecology was started off the backs of black women literally being tourted in the name of scientific/medical discovery. This is one of the most glaring examples. These harms are still being perpetuated to this day with the belief that somehow the melanin that makes their skin darker causes them to experience less pain than their white counterparts. This is patently false and 100% racist. It’s also anti-scientific which is fascinating for a profession priding itself on being evidence-based. Beyond this, the white coat has been used for centuries to enforce a false power dynamic between Physicians & patients; scientific evidence shows that some patients experience elevated BP, a racing heart, and overall fear in the presence of a Doctor wearing a white coat which has been dubbed “White Coat Syndrome”. Why is it that if we know scientifically that this causes SUFFERING in patients do we continue to do this? Where is the ethic of, “FIRST, do not harm?” Where is the HEALING? This white coat unfortunately is a representation of much more suffering than it is healing which is exactly why I won’t be wearing it unless I absolutely need to for my own safety/protection with various procedures of which I would inform the patient of before hand. Long story short, this white coat really is not a point of pride and I hesitated to even post this picture of me in it because of these facts but I hope if anything this brings awareness, conversation, and reflection of everyone involved in healthcare. As alway, let’s BE better! #blacklivesmattertoo #futuredoctor #lgbtqiaplus #healthequity #physicianhealthyself #medicalschool #naturopathicdoctor #whitecoat #publichealth #ahimsa

🌳🌐 PROGRAMMING goes beyond the audience of #geriatricians! It’s another level of promoting our #COST Action 21122 online 🖥️ We are present on Medycyna Praktyczna (Practical Medicine) mp.pl – one of the most popular medical platforms in Poland! 🇵🇱📃 In the article “Geriatric knowledge for everyone?“, the members of the Polish team – MC members Zyta Beata Wojszel and Jerzy Gąsowski, and WG5 Leader Karolina Piotrowicz – talk about the project, as well as about the importance of education and of improving care for the #olderpeople. They also encourage the readers to participate in the PROGRAMMING survey ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eMNythUw🧑⚕️ Our presence on a publicly available medical website creates a great opportunity to reach a larger number of recipients, both medical and social staff, as well as patients. Our posts are also distributed on the profile of the Department of Geriatrics Medical University of Bialystok in Poland, which gives a greater chance of reaching students.Check how you can promote PROGRAMMING and #geriatricmedicine in your country ➡️ www.cost-programming.eu#COSTactions #ScienceWithoutBorders #geriatricsCOST Association - European Cooperation in Science and Technology Medycyna Praktyczna

Today is World Dense Breast Day! The second annual #WorldDenseBreastDay is taking place today, September 27, 2023. It follows news of the FDA’s new “dense breast” reporting requirement going into effect September 2024. Other countries are following suit, and the European Society of Breast Imaging is now recommending that European women also be informed about their breast density. The 24-hour education marathon is sponsored by DenseBreast-info.org and is now on the National Day Calendar. The purpose of this worldwide one-day education blitz is to raise awareness about the screening and risk implications of dense breasts and share medically-sourced educational resources. Many women will hear the term “dense breasts” for the first time and be turning to social media asking, “What are dense breasts? What does it mean? What should I do?” The second annual education marathon kicked off at midnight and will run for the next 24 hours. We already have worldwide participation! Press Release: https://lnkd.in/ggZUX-Cq

Recently EPIC-CP gave a mini Symposium at the 2023 American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) 77th Annual Meeting in Chicago. Although I wasn't there I was honored to be a part of a small video presentation explaining EPIC-CP and its importance. It was titled: EPIC-CP: Developing Equity And Integrated Care Pathways To Address Health Inequities Of Children And Young People With Cerebral Palsy And Their Families.Learning Objectives: 1. Upon completion participants will be able to describe the health inequities experienced by children and young people with cerebral palsy (CP) and their families. 2. Upon completion participants will be able to summarise emerging evidence for equity and integrated care pathways to systematically identify and address these health inequities in the healthcare setting. 3. Upon completion participants will understand how to use codesign with research advisors with a lived experience of CP to develop equity and integrated care pathways. 4. Upon completion participants will understand the common barriers and enablers to identify the unmet social needs of families and have strategies to address these.

The medical provider shortage affects all areas and specialties across the country, with some hit harder than others. Kentucky, in particular, has made strides in addressing this issue by increasing the number of medical school graduates. However, funding problems continue to make this a difficult task. With an estimated shortage of 124,000 medical providers by 2034, action needs to be taken to ensure access to quality healthcare for all. #healthcare #medicalshortage #Kentucky With the Specialist combines artificial intelligence with a board certified neurologist to help increase healthcare equity across the country. People with neurological symptoms live not only in big cities, but also rural towns where neurological specialists may be lacking. #withthespecialist #neurology #artificialintelligenceinhealthcarehttps://lnkd.in/ghYXMG6Fhttps://lnkd.in/gExrwg2P

Really cool article to check out featuring Alton R. Johnson Jr., DPM, DABPM, FACPM, FASPS, CWSP new device & program on using AI to help teach individuals how to perform a diabetic foot examination. Dr. Johnson explains how this could help identify high risk patients that are not able to get to clinics regularly and see their primary doctors. Anything involving a proactive & preventive approach is something I can get behind, especially for the growing diabetic population. Time is of the essence⏰Keep paving the way, Dr. Johnson!!

A few standout themes at the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine's 77th Annual Meeting last week were the importance of early identification and creating better methods to prioritize the goals of the family and child. Gillette Children’s was proud to present in six sessions, some with partners worldwide. We heard more than one attendee comment, “We can use that in our program.” Presentations included:- Empowering Diverse Communities: Implementation of Early Detection of Cerebral Palsy within the United Cerebral Palsy Affiliate Network- Reliability of Gait Outcome Assessments List Questionnaire- Physical and Psychological Consequences of Falls- A New Method for Measuring Goal Prioritization in Ambulatory Patients with Cerebral Palsy- Understanding the Rationale Behind Practice Variation in Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy- Making a Difference with the Goal Questionnaire: Incorporating Patient and Parent PrioritiesLearn more about Gillette Children's Cerebral Palsy Institute: https://lnkd.in/gRkJ9Mx4#AACPDM2023
