Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D., [@chutkaMD] Guest: Emma F. Johnson, M.D. For both men and women, skin cancer is the most common malignancy and unlike colon, breast and lung cancer, skin cancers should be visible as they exist on the exterior of our bodies. Primary care providers need to be proficient in examining the skin of our patients and recognizing suspicious skin lesions. It’s just not possible to send all patients to a dermatologist for a skin exam. In this podcast, we’ll explore what questions we should ask our patients before we perform an exam of their skin, how we fit a skin exam into our busy schedules, and when a photograph of a skin lesion might be of benefit. Our guest for this podcast is Emma F. Johnson, M.D., a dermatologist from the Mayo Clinic.  Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Jason D. Greenwood, M.D., M.S. Artificial intelligence is currently one of the most commonly discussed topics, but how does it relate to the practice of medicine? According to a recent publication in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, “AI has the potential to fundamentally change the way society thinks about medicine, the way medicine is practiced, and the way medicine is taught.” That’s a pretty all-encompassing statement regarding the effect AI will have on what we do. Is AI beneficial to us as clinicians? Are there challenges associated with it? What are its shortcomings? In this podcast, I’ll be asking my guest, Jason D. Greenwood, M.D., M.S., a family physician at the Mayo Clinic these questions and as we discuss Artificial Intelligence in Medicine in this two-part release on July 9 and July 11!

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Newton B. Neidert, M.D. Varicose veins are quite common and for most, they’re a minor nuisance. However, for some individuals, they have the potential to be much more than a cosmetic health problem. They can lead to a variety of symptoms including skin discoloration, discomfort, extremity swelling and occasionally skin ulceration. Fortunately, there have been numerous advances in the management of varicose veins and in this podcast, I’ll discuss these advances with interventional radiologist, Newton B. Neidert, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic. We’ll discuss who’s at risk for varicose veins, typical symptoms patients experience and the conservative as well as more invasive treatment options.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Natalie C. Erbs, M.D. There is abundant research that indicates there are healthcare inequities experienced by transgender individuals. Transgender patients have the same basic health care needs as any patient. However, in addition, they might also have gender-related healthcare needs and concerns. It’s important for us to meet these healthcare needs, and this requires some special knowledge. The special needs of the transgender patient may be related to gender-affirming hormonal therapy or surgery, or it may relate to gender-specific preventive healthcare. This podcast will explore transgender health care. We’ll discuss the difficulties experienced by transgender patients, the specific healthcare needs they have and how we can become more educated in providing healthcare to transgender patients. My guest is Natalie C. Erbs, M.D., from the Department of Family Medicine at the Mayo Clinic.

Strand, M.D. “On a scale of 1 to 10, what's your pain?” If you’ve just broken a bone or are seeking treatment for endomitosis, it’s likely the first question you’ll be asked. But what if your pain is dismissed or minimized due to your age, race, or gender? In this episode of the RISE for Equity podcast, host Nicole Nfonoyim-Hara unpacks the latest evidence around bias in pain management—and effective strategies for a holistic approach to care—with Mayo Clinic physicians Catherine Njathi-Ori and Natalie Strand. Catherine W. Njathi-Ori, M.D., is an anesthesiologist specializing in acute pain management based in Rochester, Minnesota. Natalie H. Strand, M.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Division of Pain Medicine. She serves as the Director of Pain Research and the Director of Neuromodulation for Mayo Clinic Arizona.

While we have the visual and the numeric skills, we have to acknowledge that pain is more complex.” — Catherine Njathi-Ori, M.D. “People I think are well-meaning in medicine for the most part. I really believe that. But just because you're well-meaning doesn't mean you're not biased. People often can't see their own blind spots. When you don't have diversity in your division or department, or you don't have diversity on your admissions committees, or you don't have diversity in your surgical teams and anesthesia teams, how is anybody supposed to see their own blind spots?” —Nathalie H. Strand, M.D.
