I'm grateful for this opportunity to discuss the tough yet important topic of medical trainee mental health with @LisaRosenbaum17 @NEJM. I encourage you all to listen, especially for Dr. Chris Veal's courageous story. I'll share main points from the discussion and survey I cited:
The latest episode of Not Otherwise Specified takes a sobering look at the mental health of U.S. medical students and trainees, in an era when the pressures can be intolerable but the culture still treats depression as weakness.

For the newly matched (especially in surgery), here are some things no one teaches you about functioning in the hospital: 1. The EMR is not the place to battle things out with another service or take out any other frustrations- pick up the phone and call (cont)

Thanks to Joseph Kannarkat (my former housemate!) and @AmeetSarpatwari for their work on this piece in @JAMAHealthForum. The FDA and Congress face important decisions on implementing reforms laid out in 2013’s Drug Supply Chain Security Act.
I had the pleasure of co-authoring this open-access viewpoint on the genesis and implementation of the Drug Supply Cain Security Act in @JAMAHealthForum, led by 4th-year medical students Joseph Kannarkat @UMmedschool and @MichaelWDenham at @ColumbiaMed. https://t.co/2iQsRxkACn

Check out our work highlighted on the front cover of @HearingJournal! @MichaelWDenham @AnilKLalwani @ColumbiaOto @HLAA @HLAA_YAH @GeriatricOto @AAOHNS #music #hearingaids
Read our #January #CoverStory. A recent study sought to fill this gap in the field by evaluating music appreciation in a diverse cohort of #hearingaid users. Here’s what they discovered. https://t.co/fdhdHFXDJN

Nice work @MichaelWDenham presenting our findings that worse hearing was associated with lower (or even negative*) income growth. *your income declines 😱

CBS News' Christina Ruffini met with Broadway actor Drew Gehling to hear about his journey from having vocal cord issues to launching a study that could help others.

Grateful to work with this stellar team! 🎤 A tremendous example of collaboration between medicine and the performing arts to inform medical practice.
Broadway star Drew Gehling nearly lost his vocal range 13 years ago, an ordeal that inspired a first-of-its-kind medical study to help others understand their vocal issues — and keep their voices strong.

Older adults at greater risk for dementia may be able to protect themselves against cognitive decline by almost 50 percent with the use of hearing aids, new research shows. Nearly 2.5 billion people are expected to have some hearing loss, according to WHO.

A large study showed that older adults with a higher risk of dementia may be able to reduce their cognitive decline risk by almost 50 percent by using hearing aids.

Hearing aids reduced cognitive decline in an at-risk subgroup. Results from the long-awaited ACHIEVE randomized controlled trial published in @TheLancet. First of its kind! @JHSPH_Hearing @DrFrankRLin

Results from the first of its kind ACHIEVE randomized controlled trial. Hearing loss treatment is widely available, low risk, and now relatively affordable.
#AAIC23 While hearing aids did not have an impact on cognitive decline over 3 years in a general population, treating hearing loss protected against cognitive decline in older adults at greater risk of dementia, finds a new trial: https://t.co/1UjGgDf5m5

Congrats to Emily Ishak & @MichaelWDenham @ColumbiaPS on their presentation @__COSM showing that we do a much better job at treating and diagnosing hearing loss in kids than older adults. Why? Not right...!

Interesting and informative letter to the editor submitted by 2022 FASPE Medical Fellow Michael Denham
It’s Mardi Gras season! Carnival celebrations involve loud sounds that can damage hearing in the long term. Even short exposures to sounds as loud as those at parades can cause temporary tinnitus and hearing loss. #MardiGras #HearingLoss
