EP38: Dr. Allison Osmond on dialectical behavior therapy and emotional intelligence

I know...dialectical behavior therapy sounds complicated - but it is DBT for short, and Dr. Osmond does a great job of summarizing a key concept - wise mind being a combo of rational mind and emotion mind. This is an important concept for us all, relevant to home life and any decision-making task, including diagnostic work for physicians. DBT (first brought up to me by David Caruso in a prior episode) can also give insights into burnout (consider listening in to Michi Shinohara, if you haven't yet!). Dr. Allison Osmond is an Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Osmond completed residency in Anatomic Pathology at Western University in London, Ontario Canada in 2015, followed by a Surgical Pathology Fellowship at Western, with a focus in gastrointestinal pathology. She then worked in a general Anatomical Pathology practice for one year and then completed Dermatopathology fellowship at the University of Toronto in 2018. Dr. Osmond has a keen interests include digital pathology and teaching dermatopathology to residents and medical students at the microscope and in particular via the global #dermpath Twitter community.
