SUMMARY:Benign Breast Disease
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to Access Teams Recording  \nBenign Breast Disease \nPresented By: Katherine Goze\, MD\nTrauma and Surgical Services\, Beacon Medical Group \nDr. Kate Goze decided on a career in medicine when she was 15 years old. Being exposed to her grandmother who loved being a nurse\, and spending time herself in the hospital for her own illness as a child confirmed this decision. “Not only was I raised knowing that nursing is a truly noble profession\,” Dr. Goze said\, “but the comfort I felt knowing that the doctors and nurses would take care of me was something I knew I had to share with others.” She began her career as a nurse in the Emergency Department at Memorial Hospital.\nDr. Goze enrolled at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis to transition from registered nurse to physician\, initially expecting to choose a path in Emergency Medicine. The more time she spent in the operating room\, however\, the more she realized surgery would be the perfect fit so she can care for patients throughout their journey.\n“I wanted to be able to see patients through their entire hospital experience and then back in the clinic after they recovered\,” Dr. Goze said. “This was the biggest thing that led me to a career in surgery. I fell in love with the operating room and the feeling of being able to ‚Äòfix’ a problem and see the result in a very rewarding way. I knew that there was no other job for me.”\nDr. Goze has returned to Beacon Health System because of its model for excellence and patient-centered care. “I hope my patients know that I truly care about their well being and their outcome. I treat each patient as if they are family; that way\, I am certain that they are always getting my best\,” she said. “And my nursing background gives me a unique perspective and a very compassionate approach to patient care.”

SUMMARY:Supporting Mental Health in St. Joseph County
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to Access Teams Link  \nSupporting Mental Health in St. Joseph County \nPresented By: Kristin Valentino\, PhD\, HSPP\nDirector\, Veldman Family Psychology Clinic\nProfessor of Psychology\, University of Notre Dame \nDr. Kristin Valentino is a Professor of Psychology and the Director of the William J. Shaw Center for Children and Families at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Valentino is also a licensed clinical psychologist. Dr. Valentino’s program of research addresses how adversity affects child development with a focus on the caregiving behaviors that may promote risk and/or resilience among maltreating families. She evaluates how interventions may be designed to improve caregiving and\, in turn\, to improve developmental outcomes for maltreated children. Guiding her research is a developmental psychopathology perspective which emphasizes the interface between normal and atypical development and employs a multiple-levels-of analysis approach towards the study of child development and child psychopathology. Dr. Valentino is the President-Elect for the American Psychological Association Division 37 Section on Child Maltreatment. She serves as an Associate Editor for the journal Child Maltreatment and as a member of the National Institute of Health’s Psychosocial Development\, Risk\, and Prevention Study Section.

SUMMARY:The Brain Science of Trust in Our Communities
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to Access Teams Link  \nThe Brain Science of Trust in Our Communities \nPresented By: Velshonna Luckey\, M.S.\nExecutive Director\, Self-Healing Communities Collective and Adjunct Faculty for Neuroscience and Behavior at the University of Notre Dame \nNancy Michael\, Ph.D.\nDirector of Education\, Co-Director Neuroscience and Behavior; College of Science at the University of Notre Dame \n \n  \n Dr. Nancy Michael earned her doctorate degree in neuroscience from the University of Minnesota in 2012. Her doctoral studies were anchored in the field of behavioral neuroendocrinology where she explored questions of experience dependent plasticity – how experiences with the individuals and the world around us change nervous system structure and function. This curiosity led her to pursue postdoctoral studies in an adolescent development lab\, further developing her ability to interrogate the ways in which experiences moderate brain structure\, function and behavior. Harnessing this background in experience dependent plasticity\, Michael chose to devote her skills to undergraduate educational formation. She joined the Notre Dame faculty in 2014 to develop the newly created undergraduate program in neuroscience and behavior. Over the years\, her dedication to excellence\, innovation in education and commitment to community wellness have earned her numerous teaching\, advising and community awards\, and currently serves as the Director of Education and Co-Director for the Neuroscience and Behavior major at the University of Notre Dame. In addition to her work on campus\, Michael partners with multiple community organizations to develop and implement NEAR science approaches that aim to mitigate the impact of toxic stress and promote healing and resilience of individuals and communities. NEAR stands for Neuroscience\, Epigenetics\, Adverse childhood experiences and Resilience\, and a NEAR-science approach uses a community-centered\, general capacity building model to mobilize the evidence base of the NEAR sciences in support of practical skill development for individuals and community organizations.\nBroadly\, Dr. Michael’s work collaboratively develops population-specific\, NEAR-based strategies to support practical skill building for community healing and resilience efforts. Her work is published across a wide variety of platforms ranging from primary scientific journals\, book chapters\, to children’s books. Common themes across her writing center around experience dependent plasticity and the critical role relationships play in human learning and well-being. In addition to her written works\, Dr. Michael takes a leadership role in designing and executing a wide variety of professional development opportunities to support individuals in the “helping professions” (e.g. educators\, youth workers\, mental health professionals\, community health workers\, medical professionals\, etc.). Dr. Michael is known for making very complex information accessible and actionable in practical contexts. The breadth of her productivity is indicative of her desire to not only participate in knowledge generation\, but to support the translation of the neuroscientific knowledge base into practical skills\, behaviors and habits of mind that become present in our daily living.
