The ACOPedscast Podcast Series

Episode 016 - September Pedscast Potpourri

As they say “It’s better late than never” September’s episode of the ACOPedscast is coming to you a little late. With no special guest joining them, Jason and Scott are left without supervision to run the gamut of topics for this month’s episode. They cover everything from Fall sports, back-to-school safety, the new AAP Statement on Hemet Use among others. Don’t worry October’s episode will still be available shortly as we highlight the upcoming ACOP Fall CME Conference in conjunction with OMED in Boston, Mass.

Episode 015 - Special Episode - eJournal Vol14Iss1

This special episode of the ACOPedscast podcast series is the first of what will hopefully become a regularly occurring special episode where we take a look at the most recent issue of the ACOP’s own scholarly journal the quarterly ACOP eJournal. Jason and Scott discuss the most recent issue, Volume 14 Number 1 and are joined by the authors of one of the case reports. Drs. Kailey Remien, DO, and Marisa Mancuso, DO, both pediatric residents at Akron Children’s Hospital in Akron, Ohio, join the podcast to discuss their interesting case report “18-year-old male with emesis found to have intractable singultus”. They discuss the case as well as their decision-making on how to write up the report and the submission process to the eJournal. This is a great episode to listen to to learn about this interesting case as well as to get inspired to submit your own scholarly work!
You can find the most recent issue of the eJournal at this link: https://acopejournal.wpengine.com/?e-landing-page=acop-ejournal-spring-summer-2022
 

Episode 014 - Meet the newest Student Trustees

For August’s Pedscast episode, Jason and Scott thought what better way to celebrate the return of medical students to the classrooms and our first year students receiving their White Coats than to have a casual sit down session with our current third and fourth year Student Trustees Jasmine Yu, OMS-3 and Clarisse Fres, OMS-4. These two bright student doctors discuss the paths they took towards getting involved in the ACOP, and how that led them to the nationwide leadership positions they now hold. They also talk about what it has meant to them to be recognized as leader in the Osteopathic Pediatric community and what doors this experience has opened for them. Finally they describe what the ACOP has to offer the student members of our college, from mentorship and guidance in publishing your work to independent, student-designed tracks at our Spring conferences.
The ACOP values the contribution and input that we receive from the members of our student chapters! If you are looking for ways to get involved, or even to learn more about how to apply to become one of our next Student Trustees, contact Jasmine and Clarisse at ACOPStudents@gmail.com.
As always if you are interested in guesting on our Pedscast podcast or have a question/request that you would like for Jason and Scott to discuss, you can reach them at Pedscast@acopeds.org!!
 

Episode 013 - Dr. Stan Grogg discuses Vaccines and the return to travel

Podcast regular Dr. Stan Grogg joins Jason and Scott for July’s episode to try to help us make sense of the much anticipated though rather confusing COVID vaccine sequence options for the 6 months to 5 year population.  This primer is a must-listen for anyone providing this resource to their youngest patients.
We then switch gears and in honor of summer discuss all things travel from someone who has travelled, and helped people literally to every end of the globe. Stan talks travel preparedness, precautions, and of course some of his favorite places to go. For listeners looking for ways to get involved in Global Medicine, take a look at his foundation Power of a Nickel at www.powerofanickel.com.

They close with a discussion about the continued rise of gun violence affecting our children and what we can do as pediatricians. Welcome to the recording booth Dr. Cyrus!!
