Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, D.Litt (Hon), FACP
Associate Professor of Medicine, New York University School of Medicine
Editor-in-Chief, Bellevue Literary Review
Author of “What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine”
Abstract
Despite our commitment to the scientific method, doctors are not nearly as rational and evidence-based as we tell ourselves that we are. Emotions permeate our clinical decision-making, whether we choose to acknowledge this or not. The presentation examines how emotions affect doctors and the medical care they are able to give their patients.
CME Objectives: At the end of this lecture participants should be better able to:
1. Understand how emotions influence doctors’ behavior.
2. Discuss how physician emotions impact the delivery of medical care.
3. Recognize situations in which their own emotions might have a negative—or a positive—impact on their patients.

Despite the major changes in higher education, funding opportunities, and in scientific technology during the last fifteen years, gender issues have persisted, even in disciplines such as biosciences and medicine with increasing numbers and percentages of women. Although little research has focused directly on the effect of the changes on women scientists who have remained in the professoriate, a longitudinal survey of the NSF Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) awardees, a group who represent successful academic women scientists, provide insight into their perceptions of these effects. Recent responses from POWRE awardees overwhelmingly indicate that junior women face different issues from those faced by their senior women colleagues. Because career stage is highly correlated with chronological age, junior women are more likely to face childbearing/caring issues and/or may be more likely to be trying to establish a satisfactory dual career situation with their partner/spouse than are their senior colleagues. While balancing career and family contributes significantly to the perceived differences between junior and senior women, those are not the only issues that account for the differences. A closer examination of the data reveals there is consensus that policies and practices to remove obstacles and barriers that inhibit career advancement for junior women have been implemented. However, no such consensus about policies to facilitate careers for senior women appears to have evolved in academia.
At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
1) Compare and contrast professional development issues for junior women and faculty and senior women faculty
2) Analyze the policies and practices which facilitate career development for women scientists
3) List one or two steps that faculty can take to advance career development

Faculty seeking to advance their academic careers with an emphasis on education will need to effectively document their educational contributions in an educational portfolio. In contrast to the traditional academic curriculum vitae (CV), the educational portfolio aims to document teaching activities, including administrative roles in education, teaching responsibilities, advising and mentoring, awards and recognition as educators, and the products of these activities. By developing an educational portfolio, faculty have the opportunity to reflect on their evidence of excellence and engagement within the educational community consistent with the precepts of scholarship.
This four-part workshop series will focus on the rationale and benefits of the educational portfolio, its relationship to an academic CV, the types of educational activities to be included in the educational portfolio, and how to begin developing an educational portfolio and philosophy statement.
At the end of the session, participants should be able to:
1) Define the educational portfolio.
2) Discuss what qualifies as contributions to teaching.
3) Share examples of direct teaching activities, curriculum design, curriculum development, and instructional materials that can be included in a portfolio.
