  • A Neurosurgeon’s Lesson on Love, Loss, and Compassion with Joseph Stern, MD

    A Neurosurgeon’s Lesson on Love, Loss, and Compassion with Joseph Stern, MD
    Jun 26 2024
    No one would argue that the training to become a neurosurgeon lacks clinical rigor. Many long intense years go into a Board certification. Neurosurgery education is never really accomplished. Sometimes the most powerful and ultimately useful lessons come from unexpected people and events. That was the case with Joseph “Jody” Stern, MD. Stern is a neurosurgeon specializing in complex spine and brain surgery. He has been in practice for more than 25 years and is a partner in the largest neurosurgical group practice in the country — Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates. The deaths of his sister and brother-in-law — and the experience of working with their healthcare teams — brought a new perspective to his work with patients, inspiring him to write Grief Connects Us. In his exceptionally thought-provoking and moving memoir, Grief Connects Us: A Neurosurgeon’s Lessons on Love, Loss, and Compassion, Joseph Stern, MD, grapples with grief and loss as he searches for compassion in a field notorious for neutrality. Hear Stern’s interview on how he became a better physician. Learn more about the American Association for Physician Leadership at www.physicianleaders.org

  • Mindbending Drugs: Psychedelics, Cannabis, and Physician Leadership with Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman

    Mindbending Drugs: Psychedelics, Cannabis, and Physician Leadership with Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman
    Jun 12 2024
    In a recent presentation at SXSW, Jeffrey Lieberman, MD, spoke about the potential of mindbending drugs such as psychedelics and cannabis in the context of physician leadership. While the level of interest in these substances was high, Lieberman emphasized the importance of responsible use and scientific research. Jeffrey A. Lieberman, MD, is the Lawrence C. Kolb Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center. His work has advanced the understanding of the natural history and pathophysiology of schizophrenia and the pharmacology and clinical effectiveness of antipsychotic drugs. He is a member of numerous scientific organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine. He has authored more than 500 papers and articles published in the scientific literature and written and/or edited ten books on mental illness, psychopharmacology, and psychiatry. Lieberman served as president of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) from 2013 to 2014. During this podcast interview with host, Mike Sacopulos, Lieberman discussed the potential benefits and risks of using mindbending drugs in a clinical setting. He emphasized the need for rigorous scientific research and noted that while these substances may have therapeutic potential, they must be used with caution and under the guidance of trained medical professionals. As the field of psychiatry continues to evolve, it will be important for physicians to approach these substances with a balanced and informed perspective and to fully understand the effects of these substances on the human brain and behavior.
