Dean Flynn, we are in your conference
room. Yes. You are going to do some painting today. So no pressure, but we are judging you and there is a
little bit of a trophy at the end. So I have a question. Yes sir.
Are we looking for speed or quality? We're looking for. For the trophy. For the trophy.
We're looking for both in our world. We got to deal with quality and efficiency
all at the same time. All right. We're ready, man. Ready to go. All right. We got this. Ooh! See that? See that? Y'all hav
e no idea. How's it going, Tricia? Oh, I'm not. Oh, y'all just don't know. You go, girl. Y’all don’t know the skill sets
that I bring to the table here. So I'll be able to look up
and see blue on our ceiling forever. Not that I ever look at the ceiling
when you're speaking. Wow. Listen to you. That's my safety talking right there. All right,
so you guys, let us take a minute. We're gonna let Alex get up here
and look as the professional. Very critical. Okay. He said he likes this one. This is th
e winner out here. Wow. So here we go. Good job, dude. All right. This is on behalf of the Linbeck team
at the Burnett School of Medicine. This is the Best Painter Award. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I Appreciate it. My significant other
will not believe this, though. Today, we're back
with another construction update at the Burnett School of Medicine here
on the campuses of TCU. Today, we're up on the fourth floor,
which will be mainly housed most of the administration
and the back
bone of the school. Right now, what room we're standing in
is one of the open collab spaces. Also up here on the fourth floor,
we've got our terraces that lead outside for the south side,
for the Near Southside look and view on the north side of the campus. You get a great view of downtown Fort Worth
and the medical district just to the left. We've got somewhere around 72 offices with about eight open
collab and collaborative spaces. As always,
thank you for that fantastic update. We'll talk a l
ittle bit
about the relationship between JPS and this medical school. Literally on the first day
our students walk into medical school, they get assigned to a primary care
physician. Talk a little bit about, about this
grounding the next generation of physicians to start this way. To really actually feed
into that whole Empathetic Scholar® model, because that's also something
we espouse very much so. So I think that, LIC one really
has been critical because it also allows them
to see another mod
el of care. Right. And so they're able to kind of
have that longitudinal journey with us because we take a significant number
of the students. They see their patients. They really there's continuity of care. And that's a big deal to say, like,
these are my patients and to have some sense of these patients are with me and I'm
with them in their health care journey. So I think it's a great model. Our students, as you two know very well,
have a four year mandatory research thesis. There's this beau
tiful opportunity
to connect with JPS faculty doing research. So we all are all mini researchers
in by specialty by training as physicians. Taking this to the next level
I think is really, really important. Having that focus and learning
those skills, it also helps you digest the evidence. Having done worked in that area
and understanding the statistics and science helps
you really be able to. And we're wanting to be evidence based doctors
based on the scientific literature. It gives us that one
up
skill learning that too. So there's many other things
that are important part of that. Can you just share a couple thoughts on on having our students
be able to engage in that environment? And maybe the way to frame it is if we didn't have JPS
what would they be missing out on? So I think it's critical
for them to have that experience. They learn in terms of that inclusiveness,
that understanding of the care that we need to be able to bring for
our patients is it's just crucial. And I think
it just heightens
their educational experience. It heightens their sense of purpose. I think it heightens their sense
of what they can do and how they can actually be leaders
in their next journey. It fits the theme of empathic scholars. That's what our goal is, and there's no
better model than in a safety net system. It's busy and big enough. We can't do without the students, but
they have that chance to really understand and see the value
of being empathic in that. What that really means for s
omebody
that really has no other choice for care.
