What services does Loren Deutsch provide?
Sure. So we the title of the company is Lauren Academic Services, and it is divided now into three areas pretty broadly. One is in the area of career coaching and the others in the area of sort of academic coaching in general education. And the third is in the area of medical education. So medical coaching. And that's and I can go into each of them. But those three broad areas are what we have focused on now for the past roughly 15 years, and before that, I did that obviously independently before I started the company, but that's where we are today. And our main focus is really looking at where people may get stuck for a variety of reasons in their learning.
What is Loren's mission in education and coaching?
But the mission within our company, I think, is probably the bigger part of what we do, and that is to foster diversity, inclusion, equitable representation, and so forth. And that is that is literally within our mission statement. And that has been the focus for all 15 years. So thank you. And how did you get started in this? You do remarkable work. And how did you get started in this? Sure. So long ago, as a great graduate student at the University of Chicago, I asked a research question, which is something we often do when we want to get funded for a job. And so but not not only for that reason, obviously, I was interested in why I was seeing a significant number of medical students and residents coming in.
to the the student counseling services and asking for support that sounded a little bit like they needed academic support but also other things and we didn't really have a defined program at the time and so I sat down and wrote a proposal to the director and came up with an idea to look at where medical students and residents needed more support, but it wasn't really tutoring kind of support.
How did Loren Deutsch start her journey in education?
It had a lot of those elements, but it was more around looking at organization and just the crossover of, you know, the competing demands for time and how they are contending with those demands, and then how they're being trained within those demands, and then accessing all the resources that we might need or they might need, you know, anyone would. as they're going through kind of their lives, the early part of career physicians, as well as into, you know, attendings and so forth, where things get stuck or get jumbled or get more complex. Thank you. And take a moment. You've moved from Chicago to Northern California. Do you miss the weather in Chicago? Do you miss the winters? Not even a little bit, Scott. I don't think I miss them at all. I love the winters. I mean, I love winter. I moved here so that I would actually have more access to being outdoors and skiing and hiking and biking and so forth. And I love the winters here. So, no, we get maybe a lot more snow than in Chicago. But I think right now you guys might be outpacing us. So I'm not sure.
What are the challenges faced by medical students?
There you go. So either way, great. And talk about what you're most focused on and excited about this year. Yeah, I think there's probably a few different areas. I have been recently attending podcasts and meetings for docs with disabilities. A lot of the work that I do started out in education, just in general education, and looking at learning disabilities, attention deficits, and thinking about the impact that they have and what are the ways in which we, you know, develop strategies and so forth around that. And so, as an educator, that's been a long, you know, long-term interest. And so, Docs with Disabilities, I think, has been a phenomenal contribution. It's something you guys should look into because I think you would love to interview Lisa Meeks. She's heading that up.
