    10 Consult Commandments to Dominate the Day
    May 29 2025
    Mastering the surgical consult is a true milestone in every young surgeon’s career. But it’s not easy! It is a difficult transition from lowly data gatherer to mighty data synthesizer. It is, in many ways, an art form. Is there anything more beautiful than breaking down a complex, convoluted patient presentation into an immaculate assessment and plan? Something so bullet proof that the attending surgeon has been left speechless. Perhaps not! Join Drs. Joey Lew and Patrick Georgoff as they review 10 CONSULT COMMANDMENTS TO DOMINATE THE DAY:
    1. Have a System
    2. Trust No One, Expect Sabotage
    3. Always Ask at Least One Why
    4. Always Look at the Imaging Yourself
    5. Don’t Worry Alone
    6. Don’t Bury the Lead
    7. Never Lie
    8. Include a Real Assessment and Plan in Your Note
    9. Goals of care are important and individual
    10. Over-communicate

  • The Silent Partner: Ambient listening AI in Outpatient Clinics, Inpatient Wards, and the Operating Room

    The Silent Partner: Ambient listening AI in Outpatient Clinics, Inpatient Wards, and the Operating Room
    May 26 2025
    In this episode, we dive into the rapidly evolving world of ambient listening AI in healthcare. From outpatient clinics to inpatient wards and operating rooms, this technology is reshaping how care is delivered, documented, and experienced.

    We explore how ambient listening AI is improving clinic flow by streamlining documentation and reducing interruptions, allowing clinicians to stay more present with their patients. The technology is increasingly adaptive to individual provider styles, learning preferences and workflows to deliver more personalized support. Plus, we share practical tips for new users to get the most out of their ambient listening AI systems from day one.

    Join us as we hear from experts on the front lines and debate the future of ambient listening AI in medicine—where the walls really do have ears, but for all the right reasons.

    Journal Review and Clinical Challenges in Surgical Palliative Care: Assessing Decision-Making Capacity
    May 22 2025
    Join the University of Washington Surgical Palliative Care Team for their final episode of this series — a dual journal review and clinical challenges discussion on assessing medical decision-making capacity. Using Dr. Paul Applebaum’s foundational framework, the team outlines the four key criteria for evaluating capacity and brings the topic to life through two contrasting standardized patient scenarios. This episode highlights why capacity assessment is not only relevant but essential for surgeons navigating complex, high-stakes decisions.

    Hosts:
    Dr. Katie O’Connell (@katmo15) is an associate professor of surgery at the University of Washington. She is a trauma surgeon, palliative care physician, director of surgical palliative care, and founder of the Advance Care Planning for Surgery clinic at Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, WA.

    Dr. Ali Haruta is an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Washington. She is a trauma and emergency general surgeon and palliative care physician. Ali recently completed fellowships in palliative care at the University of Washington and Trauma and Critical Care at Parkland.

    Dr. Lindsay Dickerson (@lindsdickerson1) is a PGY6 general surgery resident at the University of Washington with an interest in surgical oncology.

    Dr. Virginia Wang is a PGY3 general surgery resident at the University of Washington.

    Learning Objectives:
    1. Decipher the distinction between the terms “capacity” and “competence”.

    2. Describe the four criteria for assessing medical decision-making capacity presented in Dr. Paul Applebaum’s article “Assessment of Patients’ Competence to Consent to Treatment.”

    3. Apply the capacity assessment framework to real-world clinical scenarios in surgical practice.
