Using scaffolding support to help all health professionals manage complicated patients
Phyllis Blumberg, PhD January 15, 2021
Phyllis Blumberg was pleased to be asked to present at the Annual Faculty Development series of NYU Langone Dental Medicine, Postdoctoral Residency Programs. She presented remotely to over 200 dental faculty who teach and supervise dental residents across the country. The topic of using scaffolding support to help all residents manage complicated patients was well received. The session was quite interactive, and the audience demonstrated that they learned how to use scaffolding. Dr. Blumberg can make similar presentations for other health professional faculty supervising students, residents, or other trainees.
The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.
Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.
Check the list regularly
Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.
Reward yourself
When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.
Think positively
Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
