Do clincial stories still have a place in evidence based medical practice? Aren't they just anecdotes? My talk to a surgical conference from earlier this week. brokentoydotblog.wordpress.com/2019/03/16/sto…

Two of our fully accredited professional online "Food as Medicine" courses aimed at GPs & nurses start today: "Food & Inflammation" & "Food, Exercise & the Gut'. Starting soon: "Talking about Weight", "Food & our Genome" + "Food for Fertility & Pregnancy" futurelearn.com/partners/monas…

2 of my team meet for the first time today: 1 is a skills educator, the other an administrator. They introduce themselves and then share a little greeting hug! Friendly vibes around here.

Med student: how do you cope with the criticism? Me: what do you mean? Med student: the ward staff often bag the ED. Me (verbal): It doesn’t reach us, our work is challenging, meaningful and satisfying every day! Me (internal): WTF? Please role-model collegiality

An ED consultant just gave me a hug as I stood crying in the hallway after handing a patient over. If thats not teamwork and humanity in its rawest form then I don't know what is.

A rhyme for the graduating class of 2020, by Associate Professor Julia Harrison monash.edu/medicine/news/…

Looking forward to this!

Eric Morand Julia Harrison Monash University School of Clinical Sciences You brought tears to my eyes Prof Morand, your oration to the MD class of 2020 was truly inspirational. I am still reflecting on your words this morning. Lovely to share such amazing evening with my graduating daughter Dr Adelaide Grenfell BMedSc MD/Hons

Nice work from guest editor Vincent Wong, a recentish Monash grad who invited me to write a commentary in this episode. For years I have been recommending the communiques to students as essential reading. They provide valuable insights for clinicians at all stages of experience.
