Pearls from the Pros -- Dr.

Richard Wiggins


In the latest installment of “Pearls from the Pros,” Michelle Jiyoung White interviews Dr. Richard Wiggins, Associate Dean of CME of the University of Utah School of Medicine, and Professor of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is an Adjunct Professor in the Departments of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, and BioMedical Informatics.


From the interview: There’s a difference between “managers” and “leaders.” There are a lot of managers, especially in academic medicine, whose job is to keep the basic work schedule. And then there are leaders, people who inspire you, fuel your interests, and make you want to show up every day and do those things you’re passionate about. Medical students may recognize leaders as those who inspire them to go into a specific specialty because they want to someday do what that “leader” is doing. Read the full interview here.

Wellness Corner -- The Power of Gratitude: A Simple Practice for Well-being


In the fast-paced field of Radiology, stress and burnout are common due to heavy workloads and staff shortages. However, research shows that practicing gratitude can improve mental well-being, resilience, and job satisfaction.

Simple acts, like expressing thanks or keeping a gratitude journal, can make a lasting impact. Here are some recommended reads and talks that can help start your gratitude journey.
