VOLUME 24: JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017 EMILY MANLOVE, M.D., FACULTY SCHOLAR After completing her family medicine residency at Via Christi, Emily Manlove, M.D., accepted a position as the faculty scholar in the Department of Family and Community Medicine. After a year and a half in her role, we interviewed her about her experience. What initially aracted you to this position? I knew that I eventually wanted to be in academic medicine, but I thought that I would need many more years in practice before I would be ready to teach. I was aracted to this program because it would help me achieve my goal of teaching through mentorship and exposure to dedicated, experienced faculty. I also had wanted to get an MPH, so that was a very aractive part of the program. Could you please give me a brief overview of your responsibilities in this role? I am based in the central department and I work in several locations. Much of my time is spent on my MPH. Up until now, this consisted mostly of course work. Now, I am focusing on my capstone research project. I also work on research projects. I do some teaching with the medical students. For example, I co-lead a PBL group with Dr. Kellerman, I teach a contraceptive seminar for the family medicine clerkship, and I lead the community agency seminar for the geriatric medicine clerkship. I do some supervision/teaching with the Via Christi family medicine residents. I precept in clinic and also take some night calls. My clinical job is with a hospitalist group. I work several days a month for them seeing patients in the hospital. Has the position been fulfilling in the ways you expected? I have been overwhelmed with the opportunities I have been given. I just graduated from residency, and the department has allowed me to become involved in so many projects and initiatives. It has also shown me that I can teach now. I don’t need to wait years gathering experience in a purely clinical job. How do you expect to use your Master’s of Public Health? Have your expectations changed as you have gone through classes? I think the greatest benefit of having the MPH is to gain a “bird’s-eye view” of health care and medicine. Especially in residency, it feels like you must constantly keep your nose to the ground, seeing patients and learning how to be a doctor. It is easy to forget there is a whole system operating (inefficiently!) to address the health of the public. Family doctors are perfectly poised to address the health care needs of individuals and the public. If we can start to see our patient panels as a mini population, we can create interventions to address shared needs. It could really be powerful, but we need the background in research methods, quality improvement, and epidemiology. I feel like the MPH has given me the tools to start to do this work. What is your MPH capstone project? I want to understand what residents and a residency clinic need to care for patients with complex medical and social needs. My hypothesis is that we need data (and a way to manage that data), manpower (clinical and support staff), resiliency (because the risk of burnout is real), and commitment to a mission statement. I’m doing background research to understand what is working in other clinical seings and what can be brought to Wichita. What would you say to someone who is considering the faculty scholar opportunity? I would say that if any family doctor is interested in teaching but is afraid that he or she does not have enough experience to do it well, they should consider doing the fellowship. I think it is best designed for those recently coming out of residency. The MPH is a critical component, so there must be a desire to do the MPH and understand the benefit of it, because it is hard to go back to school after residency while working full time. Often, the work in medicine can start to feel routine, we just keep seeing patients and writing notes (at least that is what it can feel like!). Working in academics, for me, has allowed me to express some of my creativity, while maintaining my clinical skills and learning how to teach these things to others. The Department of Family and Community Medicine is seeking the next faculty scholar. If you are interested, contact Rick Kellerman, M.D., at [email protected]. The faculty scholar will obtain a Master of Public Health degree, participate in individualized faculty development activities, teach medical students and residents, conduct research and perform administrative projects. The faculty scholar will pursue their personal clinical interests.

WESLEY FMR RECEIVES IMMUNIZATION AWARD The Wesley Family Medicine Residency (WFMR) program was one of four medical practices honored by the Immunize Kansas Coalition (IKC) with a recognition grant award for their improvements in adolescent immunization rates during 2016. WFMR was honored in the category of “Outstanding Residency Program.” The Wesley program identified meningococcal immunization as their target for improvement. By the end of the project period, the rate had increased from 50 percent to 71 percent. Congratulations to WFMR on an outstanding achievement!

RESEARCH TEAM GRANTED

FUNDS FOR INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROPOSAL

Each year the Academy of Medical Education at the University of Kansas School of Medicine (KUSM) offers grant funding for innovative research proposals. Successful proposals should make a substantial and valuable contribution to the KUSM curriculum. This year, the Department of Family and Community Medicine research team was granted $6,700 to expand upon their work titled “Student Perspectives on the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).” This proposal aims to better understand student concerns and experiences about the residency match process. Results of this study may help with the planning and scheduling of fourth-year medical rotations and in developing new policies covering interviewing absences and related issues. The research team plans to hold focus groups with students on all three campuses of KUSM. Contributors to the proposal include Paul Callaway, M.D.; Kari Nilsen, Ph.D.; Lisa M. Unruh, M.D.; and Anne D. Walling, M.B., Ch.B.

The JayDoc Community Clinic fundraising event was held on Feb. 18 at Botanica. Over 120 guests comprised of local physicians, residents, students and other community members attended the event in an effort to raise money for the volunteer clinic. The evening included a social hour, dinner and a short program with presentation of awards. Speakers included Robin Walker, M.D., JayDoc faculty adviser, David Carter, chairman of board of directors at Guadalupe Clinic, and Max Jolly, MS4, JayDoc Community Clinic executive director. Jared Regehr, MS3, director of program development, organized the event. Award winners were Michelle Baalmann, MS4; Wade Billings, MS4; Kenneth Jezierski, MS2; and Pie Pichetsurnthorn, MS2, for outstanding student volunteers; Lan Ly, M.D., Wesley, for resident of the year; Richard Egelhof, M.D, clinical assistant professor, for physician of the year; and Missy Norton, fourth-year pharmacy student, for the JayDoc Superstar Award. The JayDoc Community Clinic, which partners with Guadalupe Clinic and the KU School of Medicine-Wichita, opened in 2005 in an effort to serve patients that do not have health insurance. The main clinic operates out of Guadalupe Clinic on Saturday mornings. No one is turned away for lack of ability to provide the suggested five dollar donation. JayDoc Clinic also holds Women’s Health Night and Diabetes Night the first Wednesday of each month to help patients manage chronic disease and deal with acute issues. About two years ago, the clinic expanded to include an Outreach Clinic held on Thursday nights. The Outreach Clinic is currently operating out of the Church of Christ in downtown Wichita and is focused on serving the homeless population. The clinic hopes to utilize the funds from the fundraiser to purchase supplies and improve their services at the Outreach Clinic.

PROJECT ECHO

Project ECHO, replicated from a project of the same name at the University of New Mexico Health Science Center, is designed to reach rural and underserved patients who do not have access to specialty care. This innovative design reaches rural and underserved areas through technology-enabled, collaborative learning. Physicians utilize the ECHO model to acquire new knowledge that allows them to better treat their patients. An ECHO clinic offers primary care physicians from multiple locations the ability to connect at regularly scheduled times with a team of sub-specialists using videoconferencing. ECHO offers the primary care physicians the opportunity to consult with a team of medical experts and gain knowledge on how to care for a patient rather than being required to refer the patient to another physician. Each ECHO session includes the presentation of a patient case and a presentation by an expert on an identified topic. The first ECHO learning series offered in the state of Kansas has a focus on pain management. The KUSM-W pain management team consists of Amy Curry, M.D.; Tiffany Shin, Pharm.D.; Ashley Crowl, Pharm.D.; and Rick Kellerman, M.D. Drs. Curry and Shin serve as experts on the team. Currently the pain management ECHO meets twice a month, every other Friday over the noon hour. Approximately 20 locations have participated in the initial learning series. Contact Carla Deckert at [email protected] or 913-588-2081 for more information.
