Happy Birthday, Shirley! - Brooklyn College
In the year that Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm ’46 would have turned 100 years old, the echoes and reverberations are everywhere. Sure, there’s the obvious.

Bulldog in His Blood - Brooklyn College

Early retirement may not be the solution to your burnout
I miss my stethoscope—the small black one with the tiny neonatal head. I wore it around my neck constantly while on duty in the NICU and L&D. It served as an outward symbol of my knowledge and experience. Inwardly, it reminded me of all the things I could detect about a baby by simply looking, listening, and gently touching. My little stethoscope was ready in any emergency. It helped me to reassure nurses of proper endotracheal tube position and adequate breath sounds.
Why are transitions so difficult for women physicians?
In medicine, we were taught to anticipate, diagnose, and predict conditions. Examining our patients allows us to assess the problem and make a plan. We generally know what is coming next unless some action or treatment is taken. Personal and professional transitions are unlike medical conditions because we can rarely predict what will occur. Our life transitions can seem demanding, often onerous, because we female humans do not like change.

Beyond burnout: Normalizing psychotherapy for burned-out physicians and nurses
We have a big problem in this country. A recent poll found that half of U.S. physicians are still burned out. When Medscape surveyed 9,000 physicians across 29 specialties this year, they found that 49% of physicians report being burned out, and 20% report they are depressed. Physicians in front-line specialties who deliver primary care continue to be the most often affected. A higher prevalence of female doctors (56%) report being burned out compared to male physicians (44%).
One physician’s rules for recovery from burnout
I suffered through burnout twice in my career. Each episode was similar in that feelings of fatigue, exhaustion, and emotional overwhelm were predominant. Each time I felt like a failure as a mother and a physician. However, each episode of burnout differed by involving different triggers and calling into focus different aspects of my work-life imbalance. For each episode of burnout, I was able to employ some particular methods to recover.

A Home for a Misfit Adventurist - Brooklyn College
She may have a Grammy Award that says otherwise but ironically, Leah Coloff has never felt that playing classical cello was a perfect fit. Her dad, an avid enthusiast, was a music teacher and cellist, and—in a classic parental move—he molded her in his likeness. “He started me when I was young, and he’s been a huge influence on my career,” says Coloff.
