Transcript

• 00:02Good afternoon, welcome
• 00:05to the Yale School of Medicine
• 00:07physician associate programs,
• 00:08white coat ceremony for the class of 2023.
• 00:12My name is Alexandria Guerino I'm
• 00:14the director of the PA program.
• 00:17We are fortunate to have with us today
• 00:20several special guests doctor Nancy J Brown
• 00:23is the Dean of the School of Medicine.
• 00:26Doctor Jessica Lucy is the deputy
• 00:28Dean for medical education.
• 00:30Doctor Mark Perrella is medical
• 00:33director and Miss Anita Dunn is
• 00:35our guest speaker for today.
• 00:37I welcome students, staff,
• 00:40faculty and the family,
• 00:42friends and alumni who are
• 00:44joining us today via zoom.
• 00:46It's wonderful that we can all be
• 00:48together to celebrate the class
• 00:50of 2023 as they take their first
• 00:53steps towards a rewarding career.
• 00:56Despite what many people think,
• 00:58white coat ceremonies do not
• 00:59have a long history.
• 01:01They only became popular in the
• 01:03United States and around the 1980s.
• 01:04The first white coat ceremony for the
• 01:08LPA program was in 2007 and had very
• 01:11humble beginnings over the years.
• 01:14It's grown in size and significance.
• 01:17That is until COVID-19 pandemic
• 01:20changed things around the world.
• 01:22The pandemic has forced individuals
• 01:25and institutions alike to reexamine
• 01:27what's important and what's meaningful.
• 01:30The PA programs, faculty,
• 01:32and staff had long discussions about whether.
• 01:35This about the significance of
• 01:37the white coat ceremony in the
• 01:39current environment.
• 01:40Was a ceremony important enough to risk
• 01:44bringing people together in one place?
• 01:46We decided that was.
• 01:49The white coat ceremony is a milestone
• 01:52in your professional formation.
• 01:54It marks the point in time when
• 01:56you move from learning in the
• 01:58classroom to learning with the
• 02:00clinical team and from the patient.
• 02:03It's a reminder that as clinicians we
• 02:06are privileged to care for patients.
• 02:08Patients let us into their lives
• 02:10when they are most vulnerable.
• 02:12When they're afraid when they're in pain,
• 02:15they share with us some of their
• 02:17deepest fears and secrets.
• 02:21That is an honor that
• 02:24should not go unrecognized.
• 02:26We needed to physically come together
• 02:28in order to mark this occasion.
• 02:31Last year's White coat ceremony with
• 02:34the class of 2022 look very different
• 02:36from those that went before them.
• 02:38Faculty and staff gathered with
• 02:40the class of 2022 distanced and
• 02:43masks masked as we are today and
• 02:46students came on stage one by one,
• 02:49they put their white coats.
• 02:50Their left arms.
• 02:51They stood in the middle of the
• 02:53stage and they robed themselves.
• 02:55We weren't permitted to Rogue one
• 02:57another because we were dealing
• 02:59with a then unknown virus.
• 03:01I want to remind you all that
• 03:02there was no vaccine a year ago.
• 03:04It's amazing what has happened
• 03:06in the course of a year.
• 03:09Today's event is different still.
• 03:11Previous ceremonies included
• 03:13the senior students.
• 03:14The second year class,
• 03:16your big sibs,
• 03:17many of whom are joining us virtually today.
• 03:20It was the big sibs in those previous
• 03:23ceremonies who robed the incoming
• 03:26student today each student will be
• 03:28rogue by our associate program Director,
• 03:32Professor David Brissett.
• 03:34The gesture of helping the new student
• 03:36on with their coat symbolizes our
• 03:39commitment to your professional development.
• 03:42The white coat and stethoscope have
• 03:44become the symbols of the healer.
• 03:47One of the many ironies of the COVID
• 03:49pandemic is that many clinicians
• 03:51no longer wear a white coat.
• 03:54In COVID times, the uniform has changed
• 03:56to include mask and face shield,
• 03:59isolation gown, and gloves.
• 04:02The uniform has changed,
• 04:04but the clinician hasn't.
• 04:06In a few minutes,
• 04:07each student will come to the
• 04:09stage to receive their white coat.
• 04:11They will also receive their stethoscope.
• 04:14Each stethoscope has been donated
• 04:16by an alumnus of the program.
• 04:19A stethoscope.
• 04:20Donors are listed in the program
• 04:22and the donors name and words of
• 04:25advice to the new incoming students
• 04:28are included with each instrument.
• 04:30We sincerely thank the alumni for their
• 04:33donation and their generosity of spirit.
• 04:36Please join me in a round of applause
• 04:37to thank the stethoscope donors.
• 04:46I'd like to now welcome Doctor
• 04:48Dean Nancy Brown to the podium.
• 04:50Dean Brown was appointed the L School of
• 04:53Medicine first Woman Dean in February 2020.
• 04:56She stepped into her leadership role
• 04:58at the very beginning of the pandemic.
• 05:01Dean Brown is an alumna of Yale
• 05:03College and Harvard Medical School.
• 05:05She came to us from Vanderbilt
• 05:06School of Medicine,
• 05:07where she served in many leadership
• 05:10capacities at Vanderbilt.
• 05:11She served as chief of the
• 05:13Division of Clinical Pharmacology,
• 05:15associate Dean for clinical.
• 05:17And translational scientist development.
• 05:20She LED a nationally recognized research
• 05:23program and cardiovascular pharmacology
• 05:25and chaired the Department of Medicine.
• 05:27She also served as physician in chief
• 05:30of Vanderbilt University Hospital.
• 05:32Dean Brown is known for her commitment to
• 05:34education and mentorship and we are very
• 05:36happy to have her with us here today.
• 05:39Please join me in a warm welcome for being.
• 05:50Feels so good to take the mask off.
• 05:53Welcome, I'm Nancy brown.
• 05:54I'm Dean of the School of Medicine.
• 05:56As you've heard and it's really
• 05:58my honor to be here with you.
• 06:00Uhm, at this white coat ceremony.
• 06:02We're really glad that you're here.
• 06:05Uhm, although many of your family
• 06:07and friends are not physically here,
• 06:10we welcome you as well wherever you are.
• 06:14And and thank you for
• 06:15all that you have done to bring us such
• 06:17a vibrant and talented group of students.
• 06:20We don't take that for granted.
• 06:23You are a unique class.
• 06:25Every class is different you come from.
• 06:31Uh, most diverse background
• 06:32compared to other classes that
• 06:34we've had about a quarter of you,
• 06:36or from groups that are traditionally
• 06:38underrepresented in medicine.
• 06:39A third reviewer, men,
• 06:41you come from 19 different states in
• 06:44the United States as well as Australia.
• 06:475 If you already hold masters degrees.
• 06:51These are numbers and statistics,
• 06:52but over the next two years you're
• 06:54going to learn each other's stories,
• 06:56and I would encourage you to spend
• 06:59time beginning today to really do that.
• 07:03Several of you practice.
• 07:05Acrobatic yoga, several.
• 07:09Some of you are parents,
• 07:11aunts, uncles.
• 07:15One of you has served in the military.
• 07:17Other is a jujitsu instructor.
• 07:19I'm looking forward to hearing some of
• 07:22your stories in the next couple of years.
• 07:25The history of PA programs
• 07:27began really in the 1960s.
• 07:29Doctor Eugene Stead,
• 07:31who was an advocate of experimental.
• 07:36Learning as a way to teach,
• 07:37clinicians launched the first program
• 07:39for physician scientists at Duke.
• 07:42In 1965. He was influenced by his
• 07:46experience with the military.
• 07:48The program here was started by Jack Cole.
• 07:51At that time, chair of our Department
• 07:53of Surgery, just six years later.
• 07:54So this is one of the oldest programs.
• 07:57As part of our trauma program.
• 07:59Actually, the first class graduated
• 08:02five students just two years later.
• 08:05You are particularly important to
• 08:08the practice of medicine today.
• 08:10I think if the COVID pandemic has
• 08:12done anything, it's highlighted.
• 08:14The disparities in health care in our
• 08:18population and the need for access to care.
• 08:22And you will play a critical
• 08:24role in providing that access to
• 08:26the best care for our patients.
• 08:29Uhm?
• 08:30As you embark on this profession II
• 08:33hope that you will reflect on the
• 08:35commitment that you were making you
• 08:39make lots of commitments in your
• 08:40life to your family and to others,
• 08:42but this is a unique commitment.
• 08:44You will Dana White coat in just a
• 08:47short period of time and in the latter
• 08:50part of the 19th and the 20th centuries,
• 08:52the white coat became too important
• 08:55in symbolizing science and medicine.
• 08:58The curiosity and asking questions and
• 09:01you will see patients who are outliers,
• 09:03but I'd encourage you to think
• 09:06carefully about them and why they're
• 09:08responding differently to drugs
• 09:10and and how we should treat them.
• 09:13But more importantly,
• 09:14the white coat today has come
• 09:17to symbolize professionalism
• 09:18and humanitarian ideals.
• 09:20And it's a respect to a commitment
• 09:25to respect for persons.
• 09:28Acknowledging the dignity
• 09:30of the individual patient,
• 09:32that is really fundamental to
• 09:36our professions as clinicians,
• 09:39and it supersedes all other ideologies.
• 09:42This can be very difficult,
• 09:44so I would encourage you to also
• 09:47learn the stories of your patients,
• 09:49and I will tell you that your careers
• 09:51and your lives will be enriched by that.
• 09:56The next two years will provide you
• 09:59with continuous opportunities to learn.
• 10:01To grow up and before long to
• 10:04become part of a team participating
• 10:07in patient care, compassionate
• 10:09patient care across the country.
• 10:13I would like
• 10:15to commend the leaders of this program.
• 10:18For their dedication and ensuring that you
• 10:21will have a meaningful and rich learning
• 10:24experience while you're here at Yale.
• 10:26You have exciting challenges ahead and
• 10:29we're very proud that you've chosen
• 10:32the Yale Physician associate program.
• 10:34As the place where you will
• 10:36do that learning and growing,
• 10:37and to prepare for this incredible journey.
• 10:39So welcome.
• 10:51Thank you Dean Brown.
• 10:56So today's event is significant because

• 11:04The program matriculated its first five
• 11:07students in 1971 as Dean Brown mentioned.
• 11:11The pandemic interfered with our

• 11:14but we commemorate the program significant
• 11:18history and celebrations like this one.

• 12:39Please join me in a warm
• 12:41welcome for Miss Anita Dunn.
• 12:54Thank you, Sandy. Thank
• 12:57you program or both having me here
• 13:00and making it so I can actually.
• 13:03Be here. As a PA after all these years,
• 13:08this is really an honor to be here,
• 13:10to be invited to this white coat ceremony,
• 13:12I want to thank all my colleagues who
• 13:14might be watching this and all the people
• 13:17that train blazed the trail for me before
• 13:20I got to PA school and during my career.
• 13:23It's really been a great career and
• 13:27you guys are really looking heading
• 13:30off to it in new new heights and I'm
• 13:33really looking forward for that for you.
• 13:35First of all, congratulations on
• 13:37getting past year one.
• 13:38I remember that was horrible.
• 13:40We usually had.
• 13:41We had a calendar and we ripped it
• 13:43off every week and we were all like
• 13:45throwing it in the trash and we didn't
• 13:47think he was ever going to stop.
• 13:49And then the the year two things
• 13:52just only picked up faster.
• 13:54So you think that you've learned
• 13:55a lot in the first year.
• 13:56The second year is even going to be more,
• 13:58but those tools that you learned in year
• 14:01one will be the tools that you'll use
• 14:04to kind of assemble yourself as a clinician.
• 14:07And however you imagined a clinician to
• 14:09be that you will now have the paperwork
• 14:12and the and the background to do that.
• 14:14And now you can just work on
• 14:17interactions with your your patients.
• 14:20The white coat helps,
• 14:21and as the Dean said,
• 14:22the the white coat is a.
• 14:26It marks who we are and the profession
• 14:30and wear it with honor behind you.
• 14:33Is this very respected program with with
• 14:37all the years of experience to build upon,
• 14:42you've learned in the Hippocratic
• 14:45model of observation and inquiry.
• 14:48And now you're going to be heading
• 14:50off into the the realm of dealing
• 14:53with patients that have you.
• 14:55Really after this year.
• 14:56Is really what whatever you want it to be.
• 14:59The the PA is as taught generally so
• 15:02that our background is very general and
• 15:04we can build on that to really turn your
• 15:08career into whatever you want it to be.
• 15:12And as you go through your rotations,
• 15:14you'll find that some things just really
• 15:16feel good and other things feel like
• 15:18they're a little bit more of a challenge,
• 15:20and so just remember those,
• 15:22because those might be the career,
• 15:24so it'll be more interest for you.
• 15:27As you head out to meet your
• 15:29patience for the first time,
• 15:30you have to ask yourself,
• 15:31really, what do patients want?
• 15:33And patients oftentimes want the same things.
• 15:36They want information they want clarification
• 15:39of the information that they have.
• 15:41And right now we notice that there
• 15:43is a lot of information coming
• 15:45from all sorts of places you will
• 15:47be dealing with Doctor Google.
• 15:49Everyday,
• 15:49doctor Google is where a lot of our
• 15:52patients get information and some
• 15:54clarification is really helpful there.
• 15:57They want reassurance it you know.
• 15:59Do you know what you're doing?
• 16:01Does the test results correct?
• 16:04Do I really have this horrible illness?
• 16:06They want guidance as they go through the
• 16:08process of treatment and planning ahead.
• 16:11And then when things don't go well,
• 16:14they want comfort.
• 16:15And you'll provide all those
• 16:18things to your patients.
• 16:20Your preceptors,
• 16:21who also will be potentially employers,
• 16:25also have some once framing from you.
• 16:28They want eagerness and they
• 16:30also want you to be kind.
• 16:32They want you to be self aware they
• 16:34don't want to be constantly reminding
• 16:35you of things that you need to do.
• 16:38They also want you to have a, uh,
• 16:40effective learning strategy that works
• 16:42for you during the first year you've
• 16:44tried a couple different learning
• 16:46strategies you've learned by watching
• 16:48you've learned by reading you.
• 16:49Learn maybe a little bit by doing,
• 16:51and now this year you can put
• 16:53all of that together and find
• 16:54out really works with work.
• 16:56What's works best for you.
• 16:58Some skills to foster are,
• 17:01first of all,
• 17:02is empathy,
• 17:03and empathy is difficult because
• 17:05it means that you have to be open
• 17:08enough that this person who looks
• 17:10a lot differently than you do,
• 17:13that is,
• 17:14may have none of the background
• 17:16that you have.
• 17:17Will open up and share with you
• 17:19things that that you that they
• 17:20need to share with you in order
• 17:22for you to take care of them.
• 17:24You need to stay in the moment and
• 17:27listen and listening can be hard
• 17:28when you have other patients that
• 17:30you won't want to see and you feel
• 17:33like you're times really limited.
• 17:35Watch how others do it.
• 17:37Adopt A script and make it your own.
• 17:40There's a lot of things that
• 17:42we tell patients every day,
• 17:43and some of those things are difficult
• 17:46and there are ways to do this.
• 17:48And if you watch other people who
• 17:50go through some of the the scripts,
• 17:53you can see that some things work well.
• 17:56For example,
• 17:56when you first enter a patients
• 17:58room or the clinic and you are
• 18:01meeting somebody for the first time.
• 18:03Introduce yourself,
• 18:04find out if they want you to
• 18:05touch them and shake their hand,
• 18:07or if they would rather have
• 18:08this bump or nothing at all.
• 18:10In some cultures,
• 18:11different genders don't touch each other
• 18:13and you want to be respectful of that,
• 18:15and then you can ask them are they?
• 18:20Do they do they?
• 18:21Are they when who?
• 18:23How do they want to be referred to?
• 18:24Make sure that you have their name correct
• 18:27and that they use them right the right terms.
• 18:29Sometimes people don't want you to call
• 18:31them anything other than Mr Patient or Mrs.
• 18:33Patient,
• 18:34and they might be an officer.
• 18:36They might be a of Dean.
• 18:37They might be a judge and
• 18:40they may win those terms used.
• 18:42The UM?
• 18:45When you give bad news,
• 18:48there's kind of a script for that.
• 18:49You can ask the patient what
• 18:51they know about their illness,
• 18:53and then you can go through
• 18:55the test results and
• 18:56then be very honest about.
• 18:57Well, this looks bad.
• 18:58It looks like you know you think you
• 19:01know you were worried about cancer.
• 19:02Well, you, you're correct.
• 19:04This is cancer and let's talk about a plan
• 19:07to treat this and include other family
• 19:09members if they want them to be there.
• 19:12If there are visitors in the room
• 19:14back to the people that are.
• 19:15Coming with your patients,
• 19:17make sure that you know who they are.
• 19:19Ask your patient to identify those people.
• 19:23Sometimes those visitors are
• 19:24not who they seem.
• 19:26They visitors might just be the
• 19:27the ride that brought them there.
• 19:29They may not be family,
• 19:30they might be somebody from the courts,
• 19:32they they.
• 19:33Could somebody be somebody
• 19:35visiting from their church?
• 19:36So we don't.
• 19:37You know,
• 19:38we don't want to leap into a big
• 19:40discussion about their test results
• 19:42when the person is not really clear
• 19:44who who's in the room with them.
• 19:46What build your database?
• 19:48Well,
• 19:48you have quite an extensive
• 19:50database from your first year,
• 19:51but you'll be learning more things.
• 19:53Some people are really savvy on their phones,
• 19:55other people keep notes in on paper,
• 19:58but go home and study those at
• 20:00night and make sure that you
• 20:01really understand the patient in
• 20:03the process for the next day.
• 20:05Make sure that you know all
• 20:07the medications that are likely
• 20:08to be used on each rotation.
• 20:10Make sure you know the likely
• 20:12diagnosis that you're going
• 20:13to encounter on each rotation.
• 20:15If you haven't gone out and
• 20:16bought one of those.
• 20:17Books set for preparation for the boards,
• 20:19they're very helpful.
• 20:20Each one.
• 20:20Each rotation essentially is
• 20:22there you can study all the study
• 20:24questions and it'll tell you even
• 20:26tips as to why one answer is more
• 20:28correct than the next answer.
• 20:30And when you're done you'll be
• 20:31done with your rotations and
• 20:32you'll be ready for the boards.
• 20:35Share information you'll be
• 20:39sharing information as you
• 20:40go through your rotations,
• 20:41but certainly there is a skill to it.
• 20:43Then there's this little trick and
• 20:45you want to watch other people do it.
• 20:47There are ways to present a patient
• 20:49from soup to nuts like you would in
• 20:52a grand round situation where you're
• 20:54giving every detail as you go along
• 20:57and and the clinicians are expected
• 20:59to hear the information in that format.
• 21:02And if you go off track and
• 21:04you're a little bit lost in it,
• 21:06it may be difficult for your.
• 21:08Receptor or other listeners to follow?
• 21:10There's a different presentation that
• 21:12you would give to a colleague when you
• 21:14change shifts at the end of the day,
• 21:17somebody who's going to be
• 21:18taking care of your patients.
• 21:19There's a different presentation that
• 21:21you would give to radiology when you
• 21:23want to get that that CAT scan done
• 21:25now and not three weeks from now.
• 21:26And there's a another presentation
• 21:28that you would give to a family member
• 21:30when you're giving an update about
• 21:31a loved one that's in the hospital.
• 21:36And then as you as you go through this,
• 21:38you're going to find that
• 21:39everything is has to be documented.
• 21:41If it didn't get written down,
• 21:43it didn't happen.
• 21:43So you need to learn how to write a note.
• 21:46Read a lot of notes so that you
• 21:48can see how other people find the
• 21:50words to describe things that you'll
• 21:53be seeing in the least amount
• 21:55of words in the clearest way.
• 21:57Think about haiku rather than sonnets
• 22:00when you're writing your notes.
• 22:04Respect your white coat.
• 22:06Keep it clean, keep it ironed.
• 22:08It shows that you are
• 22:10respectful of the process.
• 22:12It shows your patients that you respect them.
• 22:13It shows other people on the
• 22:15team that you respect them.
• 22:17It conveys this that you are
• 22:20available and that you're learning
• 22:22when you are doing your rotations.
• 22:24If you identify yourself to
• 22:26some of the nursing staff and
• 22:27you they see your white coat.
• 22:29If you want to learn how to put
• 22:31in Foley's draw blood, put in the.
• 22:34Do an EKG.
• 22:35They will fail and include you on those,
• 22:37and they'll know from your short
• 22:40coat that you're available.
• 22:41And then finally, enjoy yourselves.
• 22:43It's a fabulous career.
• 22:46There will be times when you feel
• 22:48like Oh my God, what have I done?
• 22:50I'm in so over my head,
• 22:52but there will be times when it's just
• 22:54so joyful delivering babies helping
• 22:56people through very tough times.
• 22:58These are things that are very rewarding.
• 23:00They're hard at the moment and they're
• 23:02just absolutely soul building at the end.
• 23:06Say professional join a year par
• 23:09organization for your state and both lake
• 23:12locally and nationally. Get involved.
• 23:14Teach each one of you is a teacher by nature.
• 23:18That's what PS do and it you
• 23:21know teacher colleagues.
• 23:22There'll be things that you
• 23:23know more than they do.
• 23:24The nurses always love to hear a
• 23:26little bit more about their patients.
• 23:28Remember they they were out of
• 23:30school years in the past.
• 23:31You guys are just new,
• 23:33fresh and all this information is fresh.
• 23:35I love to hear that and
• 23:37then when the time comes,
• 23:38open yourself to precepting.
• 23:41It's difficult,
• 23:42but it's also very rewarding to
• 23:44watch people move from a student
• 23:47in a completely different way to
• 23:49being a clinician in in all of the
• 23:52joys that are involved with that.
• 23:55Remember your intentions.
• 23:56He had to write a little essay in
• 23:59order to get into Yale's program.
• 24:01I've kept mine in every career change.
• 24:03Everything that's come along my way.
• 24:05I always go back and read it, and I find out.
• 24:08Yeah,
• 24:08that's actually exactly what it who I am.
• 24:11Well, I was back then and stay grounded.

• 37:14I pledge to perform the following
• 37:17duties with honesty and dedication.
• 37:20I will hold as my primary responsibility,
• 37:23the health, safety,
• 37:25welfare and dignity of all human beings.
• 37:29I will uphold the tenants of
• 37:32patient autonomy, beneficence,
• 37:34non maleficence and justice.
• 37:37I will recognize and promote
• 37:40the value of diversity.
• 37:42I will treat equally all
• 37:44persons who seek my care.
• 37:47I will hold and confidence
• 37:49the information shared in the
• 37:51course of practicing medicine.
• 37:54I will assess my personal
• 37:56capabilities and limitations,
• 37:58striving always to improve
• 38:00my medical practice.
• 38:03I will actively seek to expand
• 38:05my knowledge and skills,

• 38:11I will work with other members of

• 38:30I will share and expand
• 38:32knowledge within the profession.
• 38:34These duties are pledged with
• 38:37sincerity and upon my honor.
• 38:41All right?
• 38:48You guys could take a seat.
• 38:51Congratulate you for saying nonmaleficence
• 38:56so I'm just in a quick quickly as we close.
• 39:00I know that all of us on faculty here are
• 39:03incredibly appreciative to all the work
• 39:05that the staff did to put this together.
• 39:08It's amazing how much more coordination
• 39:10and work things take when we're
• 39:12taking into consideration COVID
• 39:14in all the rules around them.
• 39:16So thank you very much.
• 39:24Uhm? I could tell you were all
• 39:26very excited to have you start
• 39:28this journey with us here at Yale.
• 39:30Uhm, putting on a white
• 39:32coat is probably going to.
• 39:34Strike a lot of different emotions in you.
• 39:36Sometimes happiness, joy, pride, fear.
• 39:41Uncertainty, it's OK.
• 39:42I think that we all feel that
• 39:45way even now after many years
• 39:47of us putting on white coats.
• 39:50You have different emotions and so
• 39:52I want to leave you with a quote
• 39:54and it's not very deep or academic
• 39:57because I'm going to tell you.
• 39:59Embarrassingly,
• 39:59that it comes from my favorite show scrubs.
• 40:03But I think it it's really meaningful
• 40:04and I want you to think about
• 40:06this when you're putting on your
• 40:07white coat when you're going to
• 40:09see patients for the first time.
• 40:11So the character says.
• 40:15You know,
• 40:15I guess at the end of the day we all
• 40:17want to believe that what we do is important.
• 40:20That people hang on to our every word.
• 40:23That they care that they care what we think.
• 40:26But the truth is,
• 40:28you should consider yourself lucky
• 40:30that you will even occasionally get to
• 40:35make someone anyone feel a little bit better.
• 40:40So thank you guys come.
