Faculty Appreciation Week was held February 14-18 to give faculty, staff, residents and fellows an opportunity to recognize UT Graduate School of Medicine faculty and their teaching, research and outreach efforts. Submissions were made via The Pulse to commend faculty who have made a difference in:

Join us in upcoming issues of The Scope as we celebrate some of the faculty who have helped make UT the great university it is today.

Faculty recognized in this issue for Faculty Appreciation Week are Lisa Duncan, MD, Associate Professor, Pathology; J. W. Hudson, DDS, Professor, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Julie Jeter, MD, Assistant Professor, Family Medicine; and Eddie Moore, MD, Associate Dean, Graduate Medical Education.

Lisa Duncan, MD
Associate Professor and Residency Program Director
Pathology

"Dr. Duncan re-worked our residency program, making sure that we had appropriate materials, book funds and travel expenses. She has made sure that we receive ACGME accreditation and has been a resident advocate."

J. W. Hudson, DDS
Professor
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

"I have observed Dr. Hudson while teaching residents and caring for patients. The passion he has for both is amazing and so heartfelt."

Julie Jeter, MD
Assistant Professor
Family Medicine

"Dr. Jeter is, by far, one of the best physicians and faculty that I have ever met. She is an incredible person with one of the biggest hearts. She has been a mentor to so many and positively impacted our work place in a tremendous way. She has forever touched my heart and my family. She has helped me through so much, as a colleague and a shoulder to cry on. I love you, Dr. Jeter. Thank you so much for the blood, sweat, tears and time you put into each and every one of us!"

"These past few months have been both exciting and challenging for our office. During this time, Dr. Eddie Moore has been more than a supervisor to me. He has been the one constant that I can rely on to help me retain focus and a positive attitude. He is willing to provide whatever support I need to succeed. On many occasions he has acted as my cheerleader, advisor, counselor and mentor. I look forward to many more years of his guidance and friendship."

Wayne Smith, MD, Anesthesiology Resident, hiked for more than an hour to the remote mountain village of Medor, Haiti, to provide medical care following the cholera outbreak in Haiti. Dr. Smith was on a mission trip with Remote Area Medical (RAM), a non-profit, volunteer, airborne relief corps that serves throughout the world providing free health, dental and eye care and more.

Supplies for the medical clinic included fluids, IVs, and medications such as pain relievers. The medical team was prepared to treat cholera but only treated two confirmed cases of the intestinal infection.

However, there were hundreds of people in Medor seeking medical care. One case that made an impact on Dr. Smith involved a boy who had burned his hand. He had been keeping his hand wrapped in a towel for the past year after it was burned during the earthquake.

"Saint Luke, his case was really the most impacting both here and at home," Dr. Smith said. "I scraped the scab and it looked like healthy tissue underneath. Bone infection was not apparent, but we didn't have the means to check for infection. We wondered what else to do.

"We are continuing to try to get Saint Luke to the U.S. We are having passport and visa issues. Neither he nor his mother has a birth certificate. We think we have the doctor and hospital side of things worked out. We have been raising money, and we hope to save his hand."

Ann Curry with Dateline on NBC followed the mission trip to Medor, featuring the medical clinic in "Rescue in the Mountains."

At approximately the same time Dr. Wayne Smith was serving in Medor, Lou Smith, MD, Associate Professor, Surgery, was also doing mission work in a remote area of Haiti. Originally destined for Boucan Carre on a Partners in Health mission trip, Dr. Lou Smith ended up hiking four hours over mountainous terrain to provide medical care with a small team in Bouly.

"Our clinic in Bouly was held in a church. It was actually a roof held up by poles with a couple of chairs," Dr. Lou Smith said. "People sat on logs waiting in line to be seen. We saw two to three hundred people. We would give interviews, check vitals, give out the medications that we had. It's neat what they are doing in Bouly, but there's not a lot they can do and the Partners in Health hospital is four hours away."

One case that stood out for Dr. Lou Smith involved a man who was carried to Bouly by a group of 16 people on a homemade stretcher. The man had severe abdominal pain, his blood pressure was low, and he was dehydrated. Dr. Lou Smith said they gave him some hydration solution and told him he needed to go to Boucan Carre for help.

"We left the following day and saw him in Boucan Carre. It turns out he had cirrhosis. It was amazing to me that his family and friends walked about 50 miles carrying him," she said.

Dr. Lou Smith regularly participates in missions in third-world areas and blogs about her experiences.

Match Day was held Thursday, March 17, and Missy Maples, Student Affairs Coordinator, hosted a Match Day celebration for UT Health Science Center medical students who stayed in Knoxville to receive their match results. Opening match results letters together at 1 p.m., Andrew Dake, Adam Lett and Lindsay Luttrell learned they each matched with UT Graduate School of Medicine Residency programs – Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Transitional Year/Radiology respectively.

Rashad Daker, MD, Radiology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine
Jerome Kao, MD, Radiology, University of Tennessee College of Medicine

J. Mark McKinney, MD, Chair, Radiology, announces that Yong Bradley, MD, has been named Medical Director of the Molecular Imaging and Translational Research Program with emphasis on human clinical research. He joined the UT Graduate School of Medicine April 1 and is also an Associate Professor of Radiology.

Dr. Bradley said, "My role here encompasses two parts. One is the clinical aspect in which I will read images for nuclear medicine and radiology. Then there is the research portion in which I will oversee human clinical trials, working with physicians to apply what is learned through preclinical trials. Getting to work in both the clinical and research domains is the perfect fit for me. We have to answer questions we can't answer today."

The Molecular Imaging and Translational Research Program combines efforts with the Preclinical and Diagnostic Molecular Imaging Laboratory, directed by Jonathan Wall, PhD, and the Biomedical Imaging Center, directed by George Kabalka, PhD. The Program is comprised of three components: imaging methodologies, radiopharmaceutical development, and applications for both humans and animals. The Translational Research Program component is directed by Amy LeBlanc, DVM.

Dr. Bradley came to the Graduate School of Medicine from Brooke Army Medical Center in Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where he was Chief of Radiology and Chief of Nuclear and Molecular Imaging. He was also a Clinical Associate Professor of Radiology for the University of Texas Health Sciences Center San Antonio as well as the former Nuclear Medicine Fellowship Program Director and Assistant Chief of Nuclear Medicine. Dr. Bradley earned his medical degree at the Medical College of Georgia. He completed residency training in Diagnostic Radiology at Tripler Army Medical Center and fellowship training in Nuclear Medicine at Brooke Army Medical Center. Dr. Bradley also began a career in military service in 1990 with the U.S. Army Medical Corps. His most recent assignment was as Chief at San Antonio Military Medical Center.

Joseph Rainey, DDS, Member of UTGSM Board of Visitors and Instructor of Dentistry, was inducted to the Boys and Girls Club of North Anderson County's Anderson County Hall of Fame for Lifetime Achievement, an honor given to individuals who have demonstrated excellence and are clearly identified as outstanding in their fields. Dr. Rainey maintained a private dental practice in Clinton, Tennessee, for 47 years and began teaching at the UT Graduate School of Medicine 19 years ago. Prior to private practice, Dr. Rainey was a dental officer in the United States Air Force, and he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the Air National Guard in 1998.

Dr. Rainey has received several awards and honors, including the U.S. Air Force Commendation Medal and the Air Force Achievement Medal, and he was chosen as the Air National Guard Dental Officer of the Year in 1989. He is a Fellow of the Tennessee Dental Association, International College of Dentistry, and the American College of Dentistry. Dr. Rainey has served as a member to the Anderson County Dental Society and the Alliance of Air Guard Field Surgeons. He also served on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee for Delta Dental of Tennessee, the Board of Directors for Delta Dental Plan of Michigan, and the Board of Directors and Executive Committee for Renaissance Health Service Corporation. Dr. Rainey also has been serving on the Anderson County Election Commission for 43 years.

Eric Heidel, MS NCC, Statistical and Research Design Consultant, Office of Medical Education, Research and Development, was recently awarded one of three Yates Dissertation Fellowship awards, a $15,000 non-service award available to UT Knoxville PhD candidates. Heidel said he thinks his work at the Graduate School of Medicine designing studies and performing statistical analyses set him apart as a recipient for the prestigious award.

Heidel said the award money will fund his dissertation project in which he is building and testing an instrument designed to measure for levels of isomorphism in clinical supervisory dyads, a novel area of study. For the scope of his dissertation, isomorphism is the systematic similarities between counseling and supervision in regards to philosophy, theory, behaviors, processes, content and structure. His primary research goal is to operationalize the construct of isomorphism using valid and reliable psychometric and empirical reasoning. The award money will give Heidel the opportunity to visit numerous CACREP (Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs) accredited counseling programs in the U.S. to administer the survey he designed to faculty and PhD students.

Samer Hodroge, MD, Internal Medicine Resident, received a letter of thanks from a patient not only for his medical care to her and the care she received on 5 East, but also for the encouragement he gave to her. In her letter, the patient says, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so thankful you were the doctor assigned to my case. Not only were you an asset to my recovery, but you went above and beyond to make sure I was doing well. You really lifted my spirits one evening when, I guess on your personal time, you stopped in to check on me. It was the perfect time, I was very sad I was still in the hospital. You lifted my sadness, encouraged me, and it was really sweet of you to offer a book that you would bring back that same evening.

"I feel so fortunate to have met you … Other patients will be lucky to have you as their doctor!"

Eddie Moore, MD, Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education, also received a note of gratitude for the care and service Missy Maples, Student Affairs Coordinator, provided to a patient and his mother. The mother writes that she was taking her son outside in a wheel chair on a beautiful morning after he had been in the hospital for several weeks. The mother said she was uncomfortable taking him outside alone, and when Maples noticed them, she offered her assistance. The mother wrote, "I was so relieved to have this support and concern … someone who did not know us, an angel in our path."

The mother continues saying, "Missy Maples must be valued as an extraordinary lady to have in your department. … Just know that I so appreciate her concern and thoughtfulness."

The office of Communications and Outreach has changed its name to Continuing Education and Professional Development (CEPD), and Laura H. Maples, MS, has been named director.

The change in name is a result of the office of CEPD branching beyond its current accreditation with the ACCME to include ANCC and ACPE accreditation. This joint accreditation will enable CEPD to become an integral component of the joint strategic plan of the UT Graduate School of Medicine and University Health System, Inc. Continuing education, as a whole, is the foundation of professional development for healthcare providers to ensure quality healthcare and patient safety.

Maples joined the Graduate School of Medicine in 2005 as continuing education coordinator. She was promoted to the position of director in early 2011, a position formerly held by Lea Anne Law. Law moved to the UT College of Business Administration in late 2010.

Maples earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of Tennessee in 1987 and a master of communications degree from UT in 2000.

"This is a pivotal time for our office, as we transition from single to joint accreditation to provide professional development training for the physicians, nurses, pharmacists and allied healthcare providers of the region," Maples said. "We know increased and diverse professional educational opportunities can lead to improved quality of healthcare and patient safety, and we will work to ensure our office anticipates and responds to these educational needs."

Questions regarding Continuing Education and Professional Development can be addressed to Maples at 305-9190.

Brian J. Daley, MD, MBA, FACS, Professor, Program Director and Chief of Surgery's Division of Trauma and Critical Care, was elected to membership in the Society of University Surgeons this February in Huntington Beach, California. The objective of the Society recognizes academic surgeons the advancement of the art and science of surgery by: the encouragement of its members to pursue original investigations both in the clinic and in the laboratory; the development of methods of graduate teaching of surgery with particular reference to the resident system; and free and informal interchange of ideas pertaining to the above subjects and is generally recognized as the world's premier organization dedicated to the advancement of the surgical sciences.

J. Michael McCoy, DDS, Professor, Departments of Pathology, Radiology, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Director, Hyperbaric Therapy, recently returned from Dallas, Texas, where he served as an examiner for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He administered the exam to approximately 275 OMFS residents. This is Dr. McCoy's fourth year as an examiner and at present he is the only examiner from the state of Tennessee.

Sandy Oelschlegel, MLIS, AHIP, Director and Assistant Professor, Preston Medical Library, has been approved for membership in the Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP) at the Distinguished Member level. AHIP is the Medical Library Association's peer-reviewed professional development and career recognition credentialing program. The AHIP promotes lifelong learning and exemplary professional performance by recognizing achievements in continuing education, teaching, publishing, research and other contributions to the profession. AHIP members are credentialed as health information professionals at one of five levels: Provisional, Member, Senior Member, Distinguished Member or Emeritus. AHIP members must renew their credentials every five years and participate in continuing education and other professional development activities. Oelschlegel has been director of Preston Medical Library since 2003.

Patty Hamilton, Administrative Support Assistant, Surgery, and Lynn Lowery, Medical Administrative Specialist, Family Medicine, have been elected to represent their peers at monthly UT Non-Exempt Staff Council meetings. Hamilton will represent Graduate School of Medicine Clinical Education and Lowery will represent GSM Clinical Practice. The council was formed so that non-exempt staff could regularly have an opportunity to meet with senior management. The meeting allows time to discuss issues which have been brought up by their constituents.

Janice Ketner, Staff Nurse, Family Medicine, retired following 31 years of service to the University of Tennessee. She began as a nurses assistant in November 1980 and 10 years later became assistant head nurse when she earned her Registered Nurse designation. She began practicing with University Family Physicians in 2002. She was honored with a reception in March. For retirement, Ketner said she plans to "have fun," including working with her church and spending time with her family.

The 2011 John E. Sullivan, D.D.S. Endowed Lecture was held April 6, and featured Salvatore L. Ruggiero, DMD, MD, Clinical Associate Professor, School of Dental Medicine, SUNY at Stony Brook, New York. Dr. Ruggiero helped primary care physicians, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dentists understand bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ).

BRONJ is a pathologic entity that is poorly understood due to the confusion surrounding its pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment; the relative lack of cases of BRONJ; and the publication of anecdotal and non-scientific information regarding this disease process. The lecture was approved for six AMA and AGD/CDE credits. It was directed by Eric Carlson, DMD, MD, and sponsored by the UT Graduate School of Medicine and Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

The UT Graduate School of Medicine presented the Seventh Annual Hematology Conference: An Update on Selected ASH Topics, on January 22. The CME conference provided updates on clinical trials and recent advances in the treatment of blood cancers. Nationally acclaimed experts in their fields led discussions, including Guillermo Garcia-Manero, MD, MD Anderson Cancer Center; Thomas Habermann, MD, Mayo Clinic; Jonathan Kaufman, MD, Emory University School of Medicine; Michael Keating, MB, BS, MD Anderson; and Craig Kessler, MD, Georgetown University.

The conference was directed by Wahid Hanna, MD, Professor, Department of Medicine.

The CME-certified conference, Discouraging Disruptive Behavior: The Why and How of Dealing with Special Colleagues, held January 26, attracted more than 150 faculty, staff and administrators.

The guest speaker, Gerald B. Hickson, MD, FAAP, Director, Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, described a method for identifying professionals with patterns of unacceptable behavior and discussed interventions for addressing this behavior.

This conference was jointly sponsored by University of Tennessee Medical Center UHS Patient Safety and UT Graduate School of Medicine.

All seats were filled at the popular diabetes conference on March 19. The Seventh Annual Diabetes Regional Conference brought medical professionals from across the region to learn more about reducing the gap of translation from science to practice in diabetes management. Regional experts presented information in endocrinology, family medicine, neurology, nutrition, pharmacy, surgery and urology.

This conference was approved for 6.25 AMA, AAFP, AAPA and ACPE credits and .625 CEUs. It was directed by Donald Keeble, MD, and presented by the UT Graduate School of Medicine and Department of Family Medicine.

More than 50 UT Graduate School of Medicine faculty and volunteer faculty attended the Faculty Development Workshop, March 25.

Two keynote presenters, Dr. Thomas Catron from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, and Dr. Tatum Korin from University of California, Los Angeles, addressed professionalism and teaching skills, followed by small-group workshops.

The Faculty Development Workshop was presented by the UT Graduate School of Medicine Academy of Scholars Committee and Office of Medical Education Research and Development. It was approved for four AMA and AAPA credits.
