An introduction to occupational and environmental medicine

Occupational medicine physician Robert Nathan Clapp discusses his article, "Why you should take a closer look at occupational and environmental medicine." Addressing the pervasive issue of physician burnout, Robert introduces occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) — a specialty under preventive medicine — as a compelling but often overlooked field boasting high job satisfaction and low burnout. He notes that despite its appeal, only about 20 percent of OEM residents knew about the specialty before finishing medical school, leading many to transition later in their careers. Robert explains that OEM focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating workplace and environmental injuries and illnesses, uniquely blending clinical care with public health principles. Key advantages drawing physicians to OEM include extremely diverse career paths (ranging from 100 percent clinical to 100 percent non-clinical in various settings like corporations, government, and academics), excellent work-life balance with minimal call or weekend work, a focus on functional outcomes rather than volume metrics, competitive salaries, and high demand. Furthermore, residency training is accessible (often two years, or even one year for those with prior GME) and includes a master of public health (MPH) degree, with prior specialty experience often being highly valued. Actionable takeaways encourage physicians feeling dissatisfied or burnt out, as well as medical students, to explore OEM as a pathway to a more sustainable and rewarding medical career.

Alzheimer’s and the family: Opening the conversation with children

Journalist and patient advocate Carol Steinberg discusses her article, "Alzheimer's impact on the young should be an open book." She argues that while Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are known to affect the whole family, children under 18 are often excluded from conversations about a loved one's condition, leading to fear, confusion, and missed opportunities for connection. Carol details the emotional toll on children witnessing cognitive decline, the distinct difficulties for those with a parent with younger-onset ADRD, and the significant challenges faced by the 5.4 million caregiving youth in the U.S., who often experience adverse mental, physical, and academic outcomes. The discussion highlights a growing consensus among experts urging truthfulness and age-appropriate involvement for children, calling on the medical community and others to better recognize and support young carers. Carol introduces her children's book, Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly, as a tool to facilitate these difficult conversations and promote meaningful intergenerational activities, allowing families to connect and "meet in the moment" despite the disease's progression. Actionable takeaways emphasize the importance of candor, using resources to educate children, fostering continued relationships, and advocating for greater support systems for affected youth.

Why great patient outcomes don’t protect female doctors from burnout

Pediatrician and holistic wellness expert Noemi Adame discusses her article, "Having a female doctor is better for your health, but not for hers." She highlights research indicating patients often experience better outcomes—including lower mortality, readmission, and post-surgical complication rates—when treated by female physicians, potentially linked to factors like longer visits and stronger adherence to guidelines. However, Noemi contrasts this with the significant personal toll on female doctors, who face higher burnout rates, a greater burden of uncompensated tasks like EMR messages (receiving 25 percent more requests), and a concerning lack of the longevity advantage seen in the general female population. She critiques the corporate medical system for failing to adequately support or compensate female physicians for the qualitative differences in their care delivery and the associated emotional labor. Noemi strongly advises female colleagues to protect their own well-being by considering alternatives to corporate employment, such as Direct Primary Care (DPC), independent contracting, or building a personal brand, while also acknowledging the unique challenges women face in setting boundaries within these models. Actionable takeaways emphasize the critical need for female physicians to prioritize self-care, implement sustainable practice systems, and advocate for themselves, whether inside or outside traditional employment structures.
