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:Multi-Modal Pain Management
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to Access Teams Recording \nClick HERE to Access CME Evaluation \nMulti-Modal Pain Management \nPresented By: Drew Michael Donnell\, MD\nPain Medicine/ Anesthesiology\, Beacon Health System \n \nWhile taking part in biomedical engineering research during high school at the local university\, Drew M. Donnell\, MD\, initially elected to study business and sports administration. He then transitioned to studying applied mathematics in the context of health care. Ultimately\, he decided there wasn’t enough interpersonal contact with patients. “I did not choose medicine until I firsthand experienced transformations in quality of life from various high-intensity surgeries during graduate school\, prior to matriculating into medicine\,” he says. \nHe earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Movement Science at University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. This was followed by a Master of Science degree in Biostatistics from University of Pittsburgh. It was here that he also graduated from the university’s School of Medicine as an MD. He completed a General Surgery Internship and Anesthesiology Residency at Ohio State University\, and a Multidisciplinary Pain Fellowship at Northwestern University. \nDr. Donnell is the first medical doctor in his family\, although his mother is a clinical psychologist. He chose the field of anesthesiology because of its complexity and frequent utilization of advanced technology. “I’ve administered anesthesia for everything from liver transplants to simple ankle reductions\, but ultimately it all comes down to protecting the patient and their physiology.” \nIn addition\, he practices interventional pain management\, to improve the quality of life for individuals affected long term by serious discomfort. “Pain management is a natural extension of anesthesiology that offers more face time with patients and an array of rapidly evolving interventions\,” he says. \nDr. Donnell delivers care to help patients be more comfortable and he works to enable them to be able to do more of the activities that give their lives meaning. \nThrough the years his patients have taught him that complex problems often have simple solutions\, but the opposite also holds true\, he says. “Medicine is one of the toughest jobs around\, but is unmatched in its ability to affect others\,” he says.

SUMMARY:Prostatic Artery Embolization Treatment for Symptomatic BPH: Getting Relief Without Sacrificing Function
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to Access Recording Link \nProstatic Artery Embolization Treatment for Symptomatic BPH: Getting Relief Without Sacrificing Function \nPresented by: Dr. Michael Ginsburg\, Vascular and Interventional Radiology\, Beacon Health System \nProstate Artery Embolization Grand Rounds Objectives: \n\nPathophysiology and indications: Understand BPH\, LUTS\, and PAE candidacy.\nProcedure overview: Outline PAE technique and advantages.\nOutcomes: Review efficacy (IPSS\, QoL\, Qmax) vs. other treatments.\nSafety: Highlight risks and mitigation strategies.\nPatient selection: Define ideal candidates and contraindications.\nResearch and future: Summarize current data and emerging trends.\n\nAbout the presenter \nEarly in his training\, Michael Ginsburg\, MD\, became inspired by the field of Vascular and Interventional Radiology and its innovative\, minimally invasive approach to delivering patient-centered care\, in a variety of ailments and diseases\, with great outcomes. Dr. Ginsburg says that interventional radiology is a rapidly growing field that has continued to evolve all throughout his career\, contributing to the advancement of medicine and allowing him to provide treatment options to his patients that previously were considered impossible. \nDr. Ginsburg was exposed to the medical profession growing up\, since both of his grandparents were physicians. His grandfather\, a cardiologist\, was a role model for him. “He approached medicine as a true vocation. He loved taking care of his patients – with personalized attention\, compassion\, and dedication\,” he says. “His ability to not only heal the physical ailments\, but also be sympathetic to the human spirit\, while being an expert in his field\, inspired me to go into medicine.” \nEach patient Dr. Ginsburg sees receives his full attention. While he practices evidence-based medicine that is current and up to date\, he maintains the perspective that even when treating the same disease\, each case is unique. “My philosophy is to give every patient the attention they deserve\, treating the whole person in a variety of clinical settings and partnering with them as they continue their healing journey\,” he says. His priority is to educate and engage his patients from the first moment he meets them. He takes the time to explain the clinical reasoning behind the work-up required to make an accurate\, timely and patient-centered diagnosis. Dr. Ginsburg believes that making every effort to ensure that his patients are well-informed about their own health reduces their anxiety and builds trust. Moreover\, an increased understanding puts patients in a better position to make informed decisions regarding their health care\, leading to improved outcomes. \nDr. Ginsburg is aware that most people aren’t familiar with Vascular and Interventional Radiology. When asked what it is\, he explains that VIR is minimally invasive surgery performed under image guidance\, done through a pinhole. Most people require no hospital stay and receive their care on an outpatient basis. \nDr. Ginsburg earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his Doctor of Medicine degree at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. He completed Radiology residency training at the University of Chicago\, followed by a fellowship in Vascular and Interventional Radiology at Stanford\, California. He is double board certified in Diagnostic Radiology and in Vascular and Interventional Radiology. Prior to joining Beacon Health\, Dr. Ginsburg practiced in Illinois and Wisconsin\, with a focus on minimally invasive treatment of vascular disease\, interventional oncology\, liver disease\, as well as men’s and women’s health.

He loves to help patients in challenging situations\, while understanding how difficult it can be for someone to hear that they need surgery. “I believe open communication with my patients is crucial to providing the best possible care.” This often means customizing operative plans tailored to each patient’s needs and expectations. \nWhen it comes to his patients\, Dr. Weber’s philosophy is simple\, yet powerful: “I’ve been privileged to treat patients who come from so many different backgrounds and life experiences. By listening to them and their families\, I have learned so much about their expectations and ultimately how best to treat and communicate with them.” He wants his patients to understand that he’s dedicated to their health and well-being. “I care about their medical condition but – possibly more importantly – I care about them as people.”
