Article, podcast discuss gratitude, collaboration in medicine

Janet Jokela, MD, MPH, MACP, senior associate dean of engagement at Carle Illinois College of Medicine at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and ACP's Treasurer, discusses how gratitude and teamwork can help internal medicine physicians move forward in this time of deep divides, concern for our patients, neighbors, and families, and anxiety about the future in her article, “The Answer Is Gratitude and It Puts You in a Good Place.” The article and a related podcast are now available on the KevinMD website.

In her column, Dr. Jokela notes, “All of us learn and grow together with our professional communities, however they are defined, which helps each of us to better navigate today's challenges. Our colleagues, wherever they may be, inspire us.”
