Expanding Horizons
All News @ UCSB
UC Santa Barbara is among 29 universities nationwide selected to participate in a collective effort to gather and use data about the careers of Ph.D. students and alumni.Grants from the National Science Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will support data collection about Ph.D. careers in STEM and humanities fields. UCSB is part of the University of California Consortium spanning all 10 campuses in the system.
“I am delighted that the University of California was selected to take part in this national project to track the broad career outcomes of our doctoral alumni,” said Carol Genetti, dean of UCSB’s Graduate Division. “Being part of this initiative will allow us to compare our outcomes against national benchmarks, as well as to further hone our professional development offerings to ensure that they best suit the career aspirations of our doctoral students.”
Over the course of the multiyear project, universities will collect data from current Ph.D. students and alumni with surveys developed by the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) in consultation with senior university leaders, funding agencies, disciplinary societies, researchers, doctoral students and alumni. The resulting data will allow universities to analyze Ph.D. career preferences and outcomes at the program level and help faculty and university leaders strengthen career services, professional development opportunities and mentoring in doctoral programs.
“The UC project will also include more in-depth work with humanities disciplines, as the UC Humanities Research Institute will lead a multicampus team of PhD researchers to conduct focus groups of humanities PHD alumni at work,” Genetti explained. “This will integrate well with a recent yearlong project led jointly by the UCSB Graduate Division and the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, and funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. That project led to a divisionwide conversation on engagement of humanists with the broader public and ...

Physicians’ well-being task force distributes two-question survey
Vanderbilt News
by Wayne Wood | Wednesday, Jul. 26, 2017, 9:09 AM
The Vanderbilt Task Force for Empowerment and Well-Being, a group formed earlier this year to investigate and implement ways to prevent burnout among physicians, will be using an online tool to gather information in the next few weeks to help it with its work.
An email containing a link to the tool was sent earlier this week to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) physicians. Using the tool consists of providing some demographic data and answering two questions. By combining some department/division and age groups together, the results will have no identifying information and no data are analyzed that have fewer than five people in a group.
The taskforce was appointed by Jeff Balser, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of VUMC and Dean of the School of Medicine, and C. Wright Pinson, MBA, M.D., Deputy CEO and Chief Health System Officer. The 15-member group is co-chaired by Reid Thompson, M.D., William F. Meacham Professor of Neurological Surgery, and Mary Yarbrough, M.D., MPH, associate professor of Clinical Medicine and executive director of Faculty and Staff Health and Wellness.
“We hope that physicians will be willing to take a little time and use this data-gathering tool to help us understand the challenges they face,” Yarbrough said.
“We define well-being as ‘a state characterized by physical and mental health, a sense of satisfaction, and empowerment to redefine our environment and create meaningful relationships with others,’” she said. “We know that strengthening well-being among individuals strengthens all of us, and Vanderbilt as an institution.”
Thompson noted that the perception is often that the sources of burnout are intensifying.
“It is recognized by Medical Center leadership that physicians are under increasingly undue stress, and there are many reasons for that — the shifting health care landscape, government involvement in health care, increasing rules and regulations ...

High school students get peek at medical school life
Tufts Now All Stories
BOSTON (July 24, 2017)—Ready to learn about diabetes, asthma, halitosis, cancer disparities and more, 22 high school students from around Massachusetts have been at Tufts University School of Medicine for five weeks to take part in the Teachers and High School Students program, an annual summer program providing students interested in the health professions with educational experiences and guidance from faculty mentors. The Teachers and High School Students (TAHSS) program, which began at Tufts in 1989, fosters the interest students in grades 10-12 have in careers in science, medicine and health. During the five-week program, the students are tutored by Tufts dental and medical school students in gross anatomy, physical diagnosis and aspects of general and specialty dentistry and nutrition, participate in team-building field trips across the Boston area and spend up to 25 hours working with a faculty member in a clinic or science lab on an independent research project, which they present to family, friends and faculty at the end of the program. Tufts admissions representatives also provide students with information on the college application process and financial aid.
“Many future scientists, technicians and physicians take biology in high school and want to learn more; TAHSS introduces students to the next couple of steps through mentoring and applied science,” said Joyce A. Sackey, M.D., dean for multicultural affairs and global health at Tufts University School of Medicine. “Programs like TAHSS help prepare students for what they might experience in academic, clinical and research settings, and help them to see the connection between the work we do and real life challenges facing their community.”
This year’s program runs June 28 – July 28. The students will present their research projects this Friday at a celebration on Tufts’ Boston Health Sciences campus.
Participating in the program this year are:
Salina Amanuel – Roslindale, MA (Wayland High School)

From left: students Michael Winter and Renee Glasser; Dr. Dan Colosi; Dr. Tanya Somohano Marquez; Dr. Robert Reiner; and students Alexis Lippe, Nicholas Montanaro, and Luke Shapiro.
Stony Brook, NY, July 25, 2017 – The Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine has been selected as one of five dental schools nationally to pilot a Digital Dentistry Curriculum developed by the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP). Digital dentistry has been in practice for more than 15 years. However, this is the first time a curriculum has been developed nationally to train future dentists in a uniform way on the uses of digital dentistry in practice.
Dr. Ann Nasti demonstrates cone beam technology to image the oral cavity to student Renee Glasser, as Dr. Mary Trular, Dean of the School, looks on. Students will train on how to incorporate digital dentistry into examination procedures in simulation labs and patient operatories.
The Digital Dentistry Curriculum will be incorporated into the school's training during the fall and spring semesters of the 2017-18 academic year. Full implementation will start with the Class of 2021 with enhancements to the Classes of 2020, 2019 and 2018 curriculum to incorporate training and clinical experience prior to graduation.
The resources and technology needed to integrate digital dentistry education into the Stony Brook curriculum include intraoral digital scanners, CAD (computer-aided design) /CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), milling machines, laboratory scanners, oral cancer screening devices, CBCT and caries detection devices. ACP selected Stony Brook to pilot the curriculum due to its leadership, class size, large patient base, electronic health record capacity and location.

SBU Chair Of Orthopaedics Receives Top Honor By The Medical Society Of the State Of NY
Dr. Lawrence Hurst is 2010 Recipient of the Albion O. Bernstein, MD Award
STONY BROOK, N.Y., December 23, 2010 – Lawrence C. Hurst, M.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopaedics at Stony Brook University Hospital, has received the 2010 Albion O. Bernstein, MD Award from the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY). The award is given to a physician or scientist who has made “the most widely beneficial discovery or developed the most useful method in medicine, surgery, or disease prevention” during a calendar year. He was presented with the award at the Society’s Council Meeting at the Marriott in Uniondale, N.Y., on December 9.
Dr. Hurst received the honor for his role in discovering and developing a new injectable form of the enzyme, collagenase, to treat Dupuytren’s contracture, a debilitating disease caused by progressive accumulation of collagen that deforms hands and fingers. Dr. Hurst discovered this treatment during a 15-year bench-to-bedside process with Stony Brook colleague Marie A. Badalamente, Ph.D., Professor of Orthopaedics. The new treatment passed Food and Drug Administration approval in 2010.
The award, which consists of a citation from the MSSNY and $2,000 prize, is one of the highest honors given by the Society to member physicians and scientists nationwide. It was established by the late Morris J. Bernstein in 1962 in memory of his son, a physician who died in an accident while on hospital call in 1940 in New York City.
“Dr. Hurst played a major role in the groundbreaking research at Stony Brook that led to a new treatment that can improve the quality of life for millions of people worldwide who are afflicted by Dupuytren’s contracture,” says Dorothy Lane, M.D., M.P.H., Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at ...
