SUMMARY:Try Harder Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Film Screening and Discussion: Engaging Asian American Youth and Their Families in Quality Mental Health Services\nPart I: Documentary Movie Screening “Try Harder!”\nThe kids are stressed out at Lowell High School\, San Francisco’s academic pressure cooker. With a majority Asian American student body\, high-achieving seniors share their dreams and anxieties about getting into a top university. But is college worth the grind? \nPart II: Panel Discussion: Engaging Asian American Youth and Their Families in Quality Mental Health Services\nResearch indicates that Asian American youth have similar community rates of mental health problems in comparison to non-Hispanic White youth in the United States. However\, Asian Americans are among the least to utilize mental health services\, and Asian American youth have a higher level of unmet mental health needs than White youth. For example\, Yeh and colleagues (2003) found that 72% of Asian/Pacific Islander at-risk youth had unmet mental health needs compared to 31% of their Non-Hispanic White counterparts. Please join us in examining the reasons for the lack of engagement in mental health services of Asian American youth and their families and explore strategies to enhance their treatment engagement. \nPanelists: \n\nDebbie Lum\, Director/ Producer of Try Harder!\nDr. Rona Hu\, Stanford CARE Director of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\nKian Mojabi\, A Lowell high school graduate featured in Try Harder!\nCathy Zhao\, Chief Laughing Officer\, Laugh It Out Hub\n\nModerator: \n\nLisa Kim\, Senior Manager\, Media Relations\, Stanford Health Care\, School of Medicine\n\nWhen:  \nMay 10th\, \n5:30 PM to 7 PM PST\, Movie Screening \n7:10 PM-8:10 PM PST\, Panel Discussion \n  \nIn-person Attendees: \nJoin us on the Stanford campus at Hoover Pavilion\, 211 Quarry Road\, Suite 201\, Palo Alto\, CA 94303\, for the movie screening from 5:30 PM to 7 PM and the panel discussion from 7:10 PM to 8 PM. Free parking is available. \nIn-person registration link \nVirtual Attendees: \nYou may view the film between May 8th-10th using the private link sent by email and join us virtually on May 10th at 7:10 PM PST for the live-streaming panel discussion and to ask questions. \nVirtual registration link \nThis event is sponsored by Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education in partnership with Stanford Heath Library\, the American Medical Women’s Association\, and Asian Health Services. We extend our thanks to our community partners Laugh it Out Hub\, Stanford Asian Pacific American Alumni Club\, and Asian Leaders Alliance.

SUMMARY:What is Physician Peer Review?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is a combined effort of AMWA and PJE. Peer review is intended to improve physician performance and patient care outcomes.

SUMMARY:IMG Book Club and Discussion: Unlocking Your Authentic Self
DESCRIPTION:Join the IMG book club for a discussion of “Unlocking Your Authentic Self: Overcoming Impostor Syndrome\, Enhancing Self-Confidence\, and Banishing Self-Doubt” by Jennifer Hunt\, MD. \nREGISTER \n \nUnlocking Your Authentic Self\n  \nDescription from Dr. Jennifer Hunt: \nThis book is an invitation to step into your powerful self and create the future you might have dreamed of as a little girl. Once you begin to notice and control that negative inner-critic voice\, you’ll be surprised at how the world opens up before you. But\, this book is also a challenge.  I am challenging you to walk out in front and serve as a role model\, sponsor\, and mentor to other women who are coming up behind you. As you begin to assimilate the skills and tools in this book into your everyday life\, I hope you will become comfortably uncomfortable with a newfound feeling of responsibility to lean into leadership. Ultimately\, my dream is that this book helps women to blaze the trail toward eliminating the gender leadership gap in healthcare\, and in every other profession. \nIf you are wondering if this is even possible\, don’t take my word for it. Read the reviews and testimonials of other women who have read the book\, practiced the skills\, and now find themselves doing things they had never dreamed of before. I can’t tell you how many times I hear the words\, “I would have never done this before\, and now I can\, and I do!”\nIn parting\, my wishes for you are that\, through this book\, you will develop a clarity of vision about your own amazing skills and talents\, that you can embrace your own personal empowerment\, and that you will take a well-earned seat at the leadership table and serve as a role model\, mentor\, and sponsor to all the women who are watching and learning from you. \n

SUMMARY:Women Physicians — The Parallels in History
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the Earliest Women Physicians\nIn recognition of Women’s History Month\, AMWA presents a discussion with author\, Janis Robinson Daly\, who celebrates women physicians from the past whose stories resonate strongly even in the present.\nThis letter\, written by 17-year-old\, Anandibai Gopal Joshi in Kolkata\, India\, in 1883\, prompted the author’s journey to give voice to some remarkable women physicians in her debut historical novel—The Unlocked Path\, which touches on sexism & self-doubt in a young woman who pursued an unorthodox career in medicine. \n\nThe determination which has brought me to your country against the combined opposition of my friends and caste ought to go a long way towards helping me to carry out the purpose for which I came\, i.e.\, is to render to my poor suffering countrywomen the true medical aid they so sadly stand in need of and which they would rather die than accept at the hands of a male physician. The voice of humanity is with me\, and I must not fail. My soul is moved to help the many who cannot help themselves. \n\nACCESS RECORDING \nThis recording is now only available on the AMWA Learning Hub for Members-Only Access. Join AMWA to gain access to the Learning Hub. \nInstructions to Access the Video On the Learning Hub: \n\nGo to the Learning Hub\nSign in with your AMWA Member Portal Credentials\nGo to your training-level hub (i.e. Physician Hub\, Resident Hub\, or Student Hub)\nClick “View”\nGo to “Women Physicians- The Parallels in History”\nSelect “View” to watch the video\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the Author:  Inspired by a love of social history\, Janis Robinson Daly traced the lives of her grandparents’ lives\, especially her paternal grandmother who lived from 1879 to 1957. Thinking of the global events she witnessed as a young woman: the dawn of a new century\, a World War\, the Titanic and Lusitania sinkings\, an influenza pandemic\, and ratification of the 19th Amendment. From these events\, Janis formed the initial storyline for Eliza. With a desire to learn more about Elizabeth Peirce Elliott Robinson\, who died before the author’s birth\, she knew that her grandfather was Judge Peirce in Philadelphia and the family hailed from the city’s social circles.  Many more details about their lives went unexplained and so having no answers\, she created them instead \n\n  \n  \n  \nPhoto Credit: Jessie Casey

SUMMARY:Sex-Based Differences in Research Webinar
DESCRIPTION:FREE WEBINAR presented by CITI Program – Featuring AMWA Leaders \nSex and gender are variables that have been found to impact all health conditions experienced by both women and men. Unfortunately\, clinical research has not consistently assessed and reported results based on sex\, impacting patient care now and in the future. Sex-specific data is needed to provide optimal\, personalized care; without this data\, it is impossible to know if a given intervention is effective and safe for everyone. Data disaggregated and reported by sex is also needed to inform the education of current healthcare professionals across the learning spectrum\, as well as to serve as the basis of future research. \nIn this webinar\, we will differentiate the concepts of sex and gender and consider the impact of these variables on research outcomes and patient care. The presenters will review the National Institutes of Health (NIH) policy on sex as a biological variable (SABV) and how it relates to research and discuss the importance of the inclusion of sex and gender in research proposals. \nRegister for Webinar  \nSPEAKERS\n    \nAbout CITI Program\nCITI Program was established in 2000 and is a leading global online education provider. Its web-based training materials serve millions of learners and thousands of subscribing institutions. CITI Program joined the Biomedical Research Alliance of New York (BRANY) in 2016. BRANY was founded in 1998 and is jointly owned by four leading academic medical centers – NYU School of Medicine\, Montefiore Medical Center\, Icahn School of Medicine\, and Northwell Health.

SUMMARY:Physician Health Programs (PHPs): A Critical Look (A PJE Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:A two-part webinar exploring aspects of any physician health program or service contracted by or affiliated with state medical licensing boards\, clinical health care facilities (e.g. hospitals and clinics)\, residency training programs or medical schools. Each of the two sessions covers a distinct range of relevant topics. Both sessions offer the opportunity for interactive Q&A. \n  \nREGISTER \n  \n \n  \nKernan is a physician whose scope of interest and concern goes well beyond the customary confines of psychiatry and clinical medicine. A bit of an unconventional thinker and “bucker of the status quo”\, he takes a broader view of the complex systems challenges physicians – and all of us in healthcare – face. He’s an indomitable optimist and believer in the healing power of authentic conversation and caring community. \n  \n \n  \nDr. Louise Andrew is a physician attorney and counselor specializing in the management of the stress of litigation\, including regulatory related litigation.

SUMMARY:Physicians Writers Wellness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:AMWA brings you a monthly opportunity to express yourself by writing:  Drop in or come every month! \n\n\nThe innovative tool of narrative medicine has been proven to aid with burnout prevention for physicians\, impact team cohesion\, and improve deep listening skills.

We can build on your expressions and insights by coaching you on next steps and further exploration of thought. \nWriting can help you shed your fear of something new and fosters empathy.

SUMMARY:Clinician Mental Health Impact Series- Trauma Recovery (Post-Traumatic Growth)
DESCRIPTION:Physicians are trained to diagnose\, manage and treat traumatic injuries their patients’ experience\, whether with fast reproach or over time. However\, physicians are not effectively trained to console and soothe themselves from such incidents or how to manage the emotional\, mental\, physical and spiritual effects that follow. \nIn this session\, we will encourage participants and reinforce the thinking that out of trauma\, one can grow as an individual and rise stronger as long as they put in the work to grow and heal. \nREGISTER \nSpeaker:\nDr. Susan Wilson is a retired EM physician with 25 years of clinical experience. She retired in 2019\, and now practices as a coach for physicians\, specializing in issues around burnout\, job satisfaction\, and work/life balance. Dr. Wilson uses strengthening mental fitness as the framework for her coaching and helps her clients shift their mindset from negative to positive.  She offers both private and group sessions.

SUMMARY:Rare – A Film Screening in Honor of Rare Disease Day
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Rare Disease Day\, February 28\, AMWA is launching an annual film screening that will focus on the need for increased awareness\, research\, therapeutics\, and advocacy of these uncommon conditions. This issue is of particular interest to AMWA because of the influence of sex and gender and biases that already hinder women from getting access to appropriate and timely treatment. \nFrom Sunday February 26 – March 4\, tune in to watch Rare\, an empowering film about “an extraordinary mother in a race against time to find a treatment for her daughter’s rare genetic disease.” Directed by Maren Grainger-Monsen\, M.D. and Nicole Newnham\, this film is not to be missed. \n“When Donna Appell learned that her infant daughter Ashley had an extremely rare genetic disease that would kill her in thirty years\, she set out to track down every person in the world with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS). Realizing that no one was going to help cure “just one child\,” Donna forms an advocacy group and travels throughout the US and Puerto Rico to gather as many patients as possible who suffer from HPS\, which includes albinism\, blindness\, a bleeding disorder and often a fatal pulmonary fibrosis. By the time Ashley turns twenty\, Donna\, under insurmountable odds\, has achieved something incredible: the advocacy group she started is now in the hundreds and the NIH has agreed to start a clinical trial.”  — Icarus Films \nThis film is being supported by AMWA’s Vivian E. Shih Graduate Medical Education Fund. Dr. Shih was a renowned expert in the field of metabolic genetics. As a researcher and practitioner in the field of rare diseases\, she made a significant impact on the lives of generations of patients. We hope that viewers of this film will consider a small donation to the  Vivian E. Shih GME Fund to support AMWA’s work in supporting and inspire future women in medicine and the programs that nurture their professional growth. \nREGISTER \n\n \nDonna and Ashley Appell in Hospital \n\nFilm accolades:\nBest Feature Film\, Brooklyn Girl Film Festival 2012\nSpecial Jury Award\, Long Island Film Festival 2013\nOfficial Selection\, 2014 Association of Clinical Research Professionals Conference\nOfficial Selection\, 2013 DIA National Conference\nOfficial Selection\, 2013 Arizona Science Center\nOfficial Selection\, 2013 Bay Area Science Festival\nOfficial Selection\, 2012 Seattle Science Festival\nOfficial Selection\, 2012 Cannes Film Market\nOfficial Selection\, 2012 National Institutes of Health Science Education Conference
