A Tribute to Patricia Ann Thomas, M.D., M.A.
(November 18, 1956 - May 6, 2015)
With heavy hearts and with sincere condolences to her family, we share news of the passing of Patricia Thomas. Patricia was a Fellow in ELAM's 2000-2001 class. An anatomic pathologist and cytopathologist from the University of Kansas, Patricia had held a variety of leadership roles, including chair of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and associate dean in the Office of Cultural Enhancement and Diversity, during her 20+ years' tenure at KUMC.
Patricia remained actively involved with the ELUM community in the decade-plus following her graduation. She served on ELAM's admissions committee, helping to select the women who would become ELAM Fellows like herself; and she served as guest faculty to talk about her own career journey and experiences. We welcomed her continuing connection to ELAM and the ELUM community, thankful for her quiet strength, caring mentorship, insightful observations, and deep love of her profession, her colleagues, her students, and her patients.
We will miss Patricia's presence and cherish the contributions she made to all of us. Please view the online guestbook. The site will be available for people to leave comments until June 7. Patricia's obituary also appears there, along with a beautiful picture of her.

The Chronicle of Higher Education - Research, 26 May 2015
Laura Siminoff (ELAM '02), dean of Temple U.'s College of Public Health: "These families are going through an awful lot. So the goal is to give them critical pieces of information in such a way that will ensure that their knowledge and recall are as high as possible."
Wing of Zock, 7 May 2015
Joanne Conroy, M.D. (ELAM '98)
There are hundreds of books published every year that make contributions to our collective knowledge, but very few of them create real impact. Many stop at the first step on the continuum that ranges from acquiring knowledge, understanding what to do with that knowledge to solve problems, and successfully implementing solutions. A new book can move engaged providers, patients, and policy makers through that important evolution.
AAMC - GWIMS Watch Newslettter, Spring 2015 Issue
Sara Jo Grethlein M.D., (ELAM '07) and Carla Downing, Ph.D.
The disproportionate absence of women awardees contributes to their failure to ascend to the highest ranks. The world of medicine and science is no different.

"The way politics are structured in the U.S., if you want to make an impact it helps if you have the data," says Ariane Hegewisch, study director at IWPR. "So the purpose was to pull the data down to the state level at least to help people concerned about addressing gender issues to make their case."

I was at a conference with a client. Everyone knew him. He was the guy. I was just some guy with him. No problem... until he got pulled away. Then I was just some guy who didn't know a soul. And I'm really, really bad at being that guy.
Jeff Haden, 16 May 2015
Saying yes to too many opportunities, too many projects, or too many people is a recipe for failure. As entrepreneur Derek Sivers likes to say, "No more 'yes.' It's either, 'Hell yeah!' or 'no.'" The problem is, when most of us say no... it still often turns into a yes.
What is the one thing most of us already have enough of? Regret. Worse, someday most of us will look back and think, "What if I had only done that ... or said that ... or actually tried that?" Like Mark Twain said, "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do."

How Strategic Repetition Can Increase Employee Motivation
Kristen Hamlin, "a" Magazine, May 4, 2015
When your spouse asks you to do something - and then reminds you about it several times - you're likely to get annoyed and ask him or her to stop nagging. That being said, if your spouse asks you to do something several times, there's a pretty good chance you're going to get it done, if for no other reason than to stop the endless requests.

Relationship Centered Health Care
Improving Work Processes With Relational Coordination
October 17-18, 2015 | New York City, NY | Location TBD
Brandeis University researcher Jody Hoffer Gittell developed a research tool, the Relational Coordination (RC) Survey, that measures interdependence: the ability of team members to understand how their work processes intersect and to coordinate their work mindful of each other's changing needs and circumstances. Her groundbreaking research has demonstrated that teams with high RC scores achieve higher quality, work more efficiently, better satisfy their customers/patients, and enjoy more worker satisfaction and resilience.

The Last Word
Wendy Kuhn, daughter of ELAM faculty Ferne Kuhn, writes about "mindful email" - what she calls "the connection with the person to whom the email is being directed to, while also being mindful about the content itself."
