A Pivot to Divorce & Leadership Coaching with Dr. Pamela Ludmer

What do we do when the big “D” comes calling? We persevere and manage to do our absolute best for anyone who is impacted by the fallout. Dr. Pamela Ludmer found herself facing divorce with two young sons while practicing medicine, but rather than let it defeat her, she allowed it to make her stronger.    Now she helps other women physicians to do the same. No matter if you were impacted by divorce as a child or if you’re experiencing it yourself, that rift between two people leaves a lifelong mark. It’s all about how you move forward that determines the marks’ size and strength though.   Plus did you know that there are different types of divorce? As with any entangled relationship, there are indeed. Did you know that it isn’t always necessary to go out and hire the absolute best shark attorney there is? Sometimes there are better first steps.    If you’re in a situation facing divorce and are not sure where to turn for help and advice, then reach out to Dr. Ludmer. She can help answer all of your burning questions and get you on the right track for a less scary process.    We’re sharing it all today. You won’t want to miss this episode if you’ve been affected by divorce in your life.   “The women who are the most likely to get divorced are women who have just been promoted or in very high positions of authority in their organizations.” Dr. Pamela Ludmer   In this episode: [03:35] Welcome to the show, Dr. Ludmer!

244: Divorce with Dr. Pamela Ludmer

Dr. Pamela Ludmer shares tips for developing leadership skills as a med student, med-peds vs. family medicine, &amp; the benefits of coaching in medicine.    [02:06] Family Medicine Versus Med-Peds [03:46] Why Adolescent Medicine [06:38] How to Integrate Classroom and Clinical Knowledge [10:56] How a Medical Student Can Develop Leadership Skills [17:24] Dr. Ludmer’s Journey as a Coach [21:34] Pearls of Wisdom for Medical Students    Dr. Pamela Ludmer is a medicine-pediatrics physician who completed a fellowship in adolescent medicine. She currently serves as the Associate Dean of Curriculum Integration at New York Medical College. Family Medicine Vs. Medicine-Pediatrics Medical students often struggle to choose between family medicine and medicine-pediatrics. Both fields allow you to practice medicine on both children and adults. Dr. Ludmer’s decision to pursue med-peds stemmed from watching a med-peds physician who she greatly admired for his academic and social strengths. In addition, Dr. Ludmer immensely enjoyed her family medicine clinical rotation, but it was largely outpatient. As a resident, she wanted more inpatient experience, which was offered by med-peds. She also wanted to focus on medicine and pediatrics, over things like surgery, OBGYN, and pediatrics, which would also be covered by family medicine. Why Adolescent Medicine Dr. Ludmer enjoyed working with inner city teenagers, especially younger women, who would come in without their parents. She enjoyed watching them grow up, and navigate medical experiences independently for the first time. Furthermore, practicing adolescent medicine allowed her some variety in her everyday work, dealing with issues such gynecology and behavioral health. Lastly, with her med-peds qualifications, Dr. Ludmer did not have to let go of her adolescent patients once they reached adulthood. Integrating Classroom &amp; Clinical Knowledge Dr. Ludmer encourages medical students to prioritize learning their basic sciences. Often, medical students feel that the basic sciences are irrelevant to clinical experiences and treating a patient. However, Dr. Ludmer asserts that what differentiates a doctor from other clinical careers, is this vast and deep knowledge of the workings of the human body. For example, with regards to COVID-19, no doctor has had the clinical experience of treating such a disease before this year. However, the basic sciences can still be applied to the treatment of COVID-19. A doctor can use their basic sciences knowledge to hypothesize appropriate treatments, and to intentionally test these treatments. Developing Leadership Skills as a Medical Student This episode discusses three key tips for developing leadership skills as a medical student:  Put your foot out there. Dr. Ludmer describes running for the student senate for the first time and winning. You do not have to wait for something as major as a student senate to practice your leadership skills. Even a four-person lab group is a good place to practice leadership. Find a mentor. The mentor does not have to be a person with very high seniority, and can be someone just a little ahead of you — a fourth year medical student perhaps. Develop self-awareness. leadership is not about asserting your own opinion, but rather about listening to members of the group, mitigating conflict, and helping to reach consensus. You need to be aware of your skills &amp; ability to play such a role, and be aware of areas where you can improve.  Coaching Versus Mentorship Dr. Ludmer distinguishes coaching a medical student or physician from mentoring them. While you emulate aspects of your mentor’s journey, coaching is about having someone who can help you to figure out your own medical career, and how to make decisions that are right for your particular situation. Three Pearls of Wisdom for Medical Students The episode ends with three pearls of wisdom that Dr. Ludmer has for medical students:  Do what you love. Do not forget life outside medicine. Do not be afraid or ashamed to ask for help.
