iT maTTers: Recent Episodes
Andrei Voicu
Because anyone has something to share that maTTers. Your age, background, profession are only variables - they matter as well, but only to a certain extent; what's really important is who you are, what you believe in and the impact you want to have. This podcast aims to bring you closer, and in a more personal way, a wide variety of people from so many different worlds, whether at the beginning of their careers or widely known, as I believe that anyone who wants to make a real impact has to be heard. Share your "why" and inspire others to find their own.
Deschidem acest episod prin expunerea efectului pe care o noua amanare a datei de sustinere a examenului de rezidentiat ar putea sa il exercite asupra absolventilor. In plus, am dezbatut si problema legalitatii sustinerii examenului in 2020, a intarzierii intrarii in sistem a peste 5000 de medici rezidenti respectiv a posibilitatii cresterii procentului de medici care nu vor mai ramane in tara.
Nu in ultimul rand, au fost anuntati si pasii ce vor urma grevei japoneze in eventualitatea nesolutionarii situatiei actuale.
Impreuna cu Alexandru si Teodor am reiterat cele 2 directii majore ale actiunilor studentilor si respectiv proaspetilor absolventi. In plus, am dezvoltat si explicat cele mai acute propuneri pe care le inaintam catre factorii decizionali, si anume data examenului de rezidentiat respectiv problema numarului de locuri disponibile, inclusiv modul in care acestea se stabilesc.
In acest episod vom discuta despre influenta pe care promisiunile facute au avut-o asupra pozitiei studentilor si absolventilor in raport cu factorii decizionali, dar si despre efectul actiunilor demarate odata cu trecerea motiunii de cenzura, aspecte pe care le-am schitat impreuna cu Teodor.
Am abordat si subiectul grevei japoneze, miscare pe care a explicat-o pe larg Alexandru, in timp ce Ioan a detaliat parcursul si evolutia miscarii #rezi in spatiul media.
In prima parte a episodului, Teodor contextul in care Federatia a luat contact cu problema rezidentiatului respectiv pasii premergatori amanarii datei pentru 8 decembrie anul curent.
Facand parte din delegatia studentilor prezenta la CNR - Consiliul Rectorilor, Alexandru ne relateaza modul in care anuntul dnei Ministru al Sanatatii a fost primit de rectorii Universitatilor precum si raspunsul acestora.
In ultima parte a episodului am vorbit despre evenimentele respectiv demersurile ce au succedat anuntul amanarii.
Acesta este primul episod din seria #rezi. Impreuna cu cei doi invitati am ordonat cronologic cele mai importante evenimente pe tema rezidentiatului si, in plus, am incercat sa sumarizam rolul si atributiile institutiilor care guverneaza legislativ acest examen.
Gabriela vorbeste despre importanta evenimentelor si motivul pentru care, dupa ce a absolvit Facultatea de Studii Economice din Bucuresti, a devenit voluntar si ulterior membru in organizarea unor evenimente sportive, inclusiv Open-ul de Tenis al Romaniei. Primul sau contact cu acest domeniu a fost in perioada in care isi pregatea lucrarea de licenta pentru care a ales sa studieze strategiile de promovare a unui eveniment. Dupa implicarea sa in turneul de tenis a migrat catre evenimentele din sfera educatiei unde a incercat sa aduca spiritul si valorile din sportul de performanta - asa s-a nascut primul concurs de Robotica din Romania,BRD FIRST Tech Challenge, reprezentant si promotor al educatiei STEM in tara noastra. Tot in cadrul episodului elevii pot afla mai multe detalii despre acest program, de la modul in care se desfasoara si unde se pot face inscrierile pana la avantajele participarii in cadrul lui.

Daca majoritatea incearca sa te motiveze prin alimentarea unor iluzii sau conturarea unor forme fara fond, el vine sa te demotiveze in a crede ca ele sunt de fapt cheia succesului iar tu nu trebuie sa faci nimic in schimb. George detaliaza ideea din spatele conceptului de Speaker Demotivational, o serie de clipuri video ce au ca laitmotiv promovarea adevarului si respectiv realitatii. In cadrul episodului am vorbit despre mentalitatea oamenilor, dorinta lor de a auzi lucruri frumoase despre ei insisi si de a rezolva problemele intr-un mod simplu si superficial. In plus, am abordat si teme precum educatia online si importanta mediului in dezvoltarea personala.

Seeding Knowledge Foundation s-a nascut din dorinta Arinei Angelescu de a oferi copiilor o educatie complementara celei practicate in scoli, bazata pe dezvoltare emotionala si personala, punand totodata accent si pe componenta sociala si crearea unei comunitati. Pe parcursul discutiei ne detaliaza povestea din spatele fundatiei si a numelui ales, precum si avantajele educatiei personalizate. Desi activeaza de numai 3 ani, proiectul ei se afla intr.o continua dezvoltare si se indreapta cu pasi siguri catre atingerea scopului final. In plus, incepand de anul trecut organizeaza si conferinte dedicate profesorilor, Exploratori in Educatie fiind una dintre ele, in care specialisti in domeniu prezinta cele mai noi metode si tehnici de pedagogie.

Interviul se deschide odata cu povestea din spatele popularelor story-uri pe care Dr. Pautov la face in timpul sau liber. Inspirat de Dr. Mike - poate cel mai celebru medic din domeniul online, dar si de raspunsul pozitiv al urmaritorilor sai la pozele in care aborda diverse subiecte medicale a inceput usor usor sa intre pe aceasta nisa care l-a propulsat printre cei mai cunoscuti medici din mediul online. Nevoia si aviditatea oamenilor pentru informatii medicale respectiv curiozitatea si propria dorinta de cunoastere se imbina cu stilul amuzant si uneori sarcastic in care Mihail abordeaza pe profilul sau de Instagram subiecte medicale propuse de urmaritorii sai. In continuare, el povesteste cum si de ce a ales profesia de medic si in special pe cea de chirurg, relatand experientele sale din perioada studentiei si respectiv rezidentiatului. In plus, ofera tinerilor singurul sfat pe care considera ca este in masura sa il dea. In finalul episodului ne povesteste cum ii place sa isi petreaca timpul liber, ce ar face in ultimele sale 48 ore si impactul pe care vrea sa il aiba asupra oamenilor.

In introducere Ioan creioneaza propria versiune a patriotismului facand o delimitare clara fata de nationalism si xenofobie. Mergand pe firul actiunii intelegem si care au fost motivele pentru care a ramas in tara, dar poate si mai important, ce i-a oferit Romania. "Ne nastem cu patriotismul sau il cultivam?" Am incercat impreuna sa raspundem la aceasta intrebare, punand totodata accent si pe una dintre cele mai mari posibile greseli pe care romanii o fac atunci cand se raporteaza la tara, ca entitate. Nu in ultimul rand, Ioan a explicat si cum poti sa te raportezi cu adevarat la oamenii si mediul din jurul tau, dar si la Romania.

In introducere Vlad descrie motivele pentru care a ales sa se inscrie pentru mandatul de 1 an din cadrul Organizatiei Natiunilor Unite, ca reprezentant al tinerilor. In cadrul acestei experiente a avut atat un rol de reprezentare, primind si transmitand informatii catre si de la tinerii cu care a intrat in contact, dar si de diseminare a informatiilor in ceea ce priveste dezvoltarea sustenabila, educatia antreprenoriala si multe altele. Desi doar un mandat de voluntariat, experientele si beneficiile pe care le-a cules dupa un an incarcat de calatorii si discutii au transformat aceasta perioada intr-o experienta unica. Voluntariatul a reprezentat mereu o parte importanta a existentei sale, desi nu foarte popularizat in Romania. Intrand putin mai in amanunt legat de voluntariat, Vlad considera ca unul dintre modurile in care acesta poate fi popularizat este prin educarea copiilor in spiritul sau, ajutat in acest sens si de exemplele parintilor. Avand propria afacere si lucrand in cadrul unor firme importante la nivel global, am vorbit in continuare despre rolul educatiei in domeniul afacerilor, competitia si lucrul in echipa respectiv elementele care diferentiaza o afacere sustenabila de una care urmareste doar o recompensa rapida.

Ioan started developing his artistic side from an early age, bewildering his teacher with both the speed and skills he had when it comes to painting, which was his first passion. Unfortunately, although his family was aware of his talent and propensity for drawing, he was encouraged to pursue a more "practical" career rather than an artistic one. Due to less free time, in high school he had to shift to another art form that will satisfy his urge to express himself, mainly poems, which he has been writing for almost ten years now. In his late high school he started acting on the school drama club which enabled him to not only discover more about himself but also comprehend more about human behavior, writing till now up to 6 plays. The artistic act is highly influenced by his emotions and he successfully uses it like a tool to make the changes he desires. Additionally, he depicts his drawing style, gives advice on how anyone can start their artistic journey as well as name the 3 main components that he thinks define a human being.

Vlad Macelaru este exemplul concret ca interesele in domenii precum tehnologie, educatie, voluntariat si business sunt mai mult decat compatibile, iar rezultatul este unul care vorbeste de la sine. Vlad este absolvent al Universitatii de Applied Sciences din Olanda unde a decis sa studieze domeniul afacerilor pentru a putea avea o privire de ansamblu asupra nu doar a unui singur domeniu in care poate sa activeze. A decis sa se intoarca in Romania pentru a contribui la dezvoltarea unui mediu care sa incurajeze ideile celor din generatia sa, dar si pentru a putea exploata numeroasele oportunitati de aici. Prima sa afacere a luat nastere in Olanda - o platforma online de rezervari dezvoltata pe timpul facultatii. In prezent Vlad, impreua cu cativa prieteni au pus bazele ClarK, o firma ce a dezvoltat un prototip de ochelari AR pentru mediul industrial. Totodata, am discutat si despre ce inseamna cu adevarat un start-up respectiv nivelul educatiei antreprenoriale din Romania, dar si despre elementele cheie ale oricarei afaceri.

In this part of our discussion we talked about misanthropy and the root cause of all the negative feeling people have for each other. Our constant strive for perfection, desire to climb higher levels in every aspect of our lives or simply the will to feel superior to someone else are things that gradually make us less humane. Although we live in increasingly competitive environments, one should never use faith as a reason to give up or blame everything that goes wrong in his life - it's actually the other way around. Moreover, in this episode you will find out what is the only thing we need to make the shift from negative feelings to gratitude, generosity and kindness. To resume, in an utopian society, if everybody is seen and "judged" through the same "algorithms" it all comes down to competing solely with yourself.

Are we able to objectify the presence of a higher power? We started our conversation by setting the base for agnosticism and what does it stands for. Dr Valentin Dinu explains how his faith was influenced by the books read in adolescence and how it evolved until these days when he discovered the purpose of believing in a higher power. We also argued whether faith and knowledge mutually empower as well as if faith has a positive effect on our development and upbringing or not. The subject regarding the connection between religion and medicine was also tackled altogether with some ways of overcoming your fears.

In this episode we talked about what are the features of a good doctor, from my guest' point of view. The balance between skills and knowledge should be one thing that we all need to invest more energy on - one way of doing that is by starting with "Why?". Taking the notion of skills even further, leadership is not a position but a skill that you develop and eventually master, unless you do not indulge yourself in patterns and matrices. Last but not least, Dr. Moisa is another living example that medicine and art can not only mix but also mutually reinforce. Soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/sublabmusic/rising-from-the-ashes
The conversation started with Dr. Emanuel Moisa explaining the big switch of his actual career. Then, we began to dive into the aspects of mentorship and what makes someone a good mentor as well as the impact that such a person might have on you. On the other hand, we discussed how self awareness should be the core to every decision you make so that the byproduct of everything you do is happiness. We also covered the aspects regarding competition and how it can be the most productive by simply comparing only with yourself. In addition, no matter how high your achievements are humility should always be the right attitude. Soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/sublabmusic/rising-from-the-ashes
We resumed our conversation with Dr. Mihai Popescu arguing that a different approach might not always be welcomed with arms wide open, mainly because of the increased tendency of pattern thinking. Two of the most interesting questions that listeners submitted, focussing on success, hard work and change, are answered in this episode. We also talked about communication and human interaction as the most important aspect that has to be improved in the doctor-patient relationship; and not only. What he would do besides medicine, hobbies, the only thing that he would take on a deserted island and his daily routine are topics also covered. Soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/sublabmusic/rising-from-the-ashes
Dr Mihai Popescu, having also an active teaching career, offers students advice on how to better choose their future medical specialty, depicts competition as a 2 way road and argues that a permanent balance has to be maintained between gaining knowledge and building up on your skills. In this episode, you will also find the most common mistake students, especially medical students, make. He also talks about the question that acted as the foundation of BAVA - Balkan Association for Vascular Access, a society he funded alongside other colleagues, which acts mainly as a teaching tool for Anaesthesia and Critical Care doctors.

We resumed our conversation about creativity and intuition and we also argued about how our craving for instant gratification wipes out both of them. However, medicine and art sometimes go hand in hand, this combination leading, in some cases, to some major breakthroughs. From the research point of view, Dr Sclan argues that "When business and medicine mix, there it's never a good outcome for medicine". Apart from all of this, we also reached the topic regarding the ability to actually talk and engage with the people in front of you as one of the skills that not only doctors but also any other person working directly with people should master. Putting medicine and science aside, Dr Sclan shared some things about his hobbies, one of them being particularly unusual. Soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/sublabmusic/rising-from-the-ashes
In this episode, Dr Sclan explained the way he developed his passion for medicine, starting by pulling wheelchairs as an orderly from one clinic to another, while still in his early highschool. Being highly passionate about talking to people, especially people with distorted thought processes, he ended up eventually as a member of the research teams that created the most important scales measuring the impact of Alzheimer Disease on the daily living. We also talked about intuition and creativity which dr. Sclan argues to be two of our greatest assets that not only define but also differentiate us as human beings.

The conversation started with Dr Andrei Popa explaining how he turned his social limitations caused by his asthma into a trigger for boosting one of his biggest passions - music. He also developed graphic design skills by trying to make a "signature" for a multiplayer game he used to play at the age of 12 - his asthma also allowed him to improve this skill too by simply forcing him to stay as much as possible inside. Taking everything into consideration, he eventually chose the medical profession so that he could prevent others from experiencing what he had to, offering in the process limitless satisfaction. Soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/sublabmusic/rising-from-the-ashes
In the second part of the interview we tackled the subjects of distractions, multi-tasking and the impact that our own decisions have on ourselves as well as on people around us. Besides, Dr Dragos Sandu also highlights the importance of self-awareness as one of the most important factors that drive our decisions, even from an early age, helping us act in accordance to the fundamental traits embedded in our personality. Soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/sublabmusic/rising-from-the-ashes
In this episode we discuss about job, passion, grit and the best version that each and everyone of us should aim to become. Dr Dragos Sandu emphasis the importance of self-awareness and growth mindset as one of the key points to achieving any objective you might set for yourself. In addition, he considers distractions and bad habbits to be the most dangerous enemies in our pursuits of any kind. Soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/sublabmusic/rising-from-the-ashes
In this episode, Tedi talks about how engaging in so many different experiences can shape you in ways you could never imagine. We went further into how he developed his passion for both medicine and volunteering as well as how he and the other team mates managed to survive several days traveling throughout Europe having as currency only a bunch of Redbull cans. Reaching top positions in several students organizations, he depicts his own version of leadership, team spirit and how to get things done. Enjoy!

In this episode, Dr. Horatiu Moisa explains the concept and idea that were the foundation for the article on Michelangelo and the hidden anatomy behind his frescoes as well as his passion about medicine and neurosurgery. In a funny and entertaining manner, he depicts his own version of success and what it takes to get there by sharing his ideas and experiences. Join our conversation and don't forget - any word or phrase maTTers.
