Sharmin, Kaylin, and Jane interview Anu Gorukanti, MD and Laura Holford, RN MSN, the co-founders of Introspective Spaces. They discuss their journeys in healthcare and what motivated them to build an inclusive space to foster connection, cultivate contemplative practice, and empower women in healthcare through introspective and reflection.
Anu Gorukanti, MD is a public health advocate and pediatric hospitalist at a county hospital in Los Angeles, CA who is passionate about health equity and racial justice. She went to undergraduate and medical school at Saint Louis University and completed her residency at Stanford University. She is passionate about social justice and the role that reflection and contemplation play as building blocks for revolution (as inspired by many theologians, spiritual leaders, and activists before her). She strongly believes that understanding who you are, what you value, and where your values come from can lead to a meaningful and authentic life. In her perspective, social change should always honor and incorporate both the individual and systems-based approach.
Laura Holford, RN MSN, is an oncology certified nurse and public health nurse committed to working to reduce nursing burnout and moral distress, and the reassembly of responsibility and accountability in healthcare. Liberation theology led her to train as a masters prepared nurse at University of San Francisco. She works as a community health nurse in Sacramento, CA She has a background as a campus minister & was lay community pastor of an Christian Interfaith church and she enjoys nothing more than accompanying people on their healing, reflective, and spiritual paths. Like many mystics before her, she believes that contemplation and action cannot be separated and finds herself naturally helping others’ build reflective, imaginative, and spiritual practices to ground their action and work in the world.

Episode 331: Neurology VMR – Headaches and loss of sensation in the left leg
We continue our campaign to #EndNeurophobia, with the help of Dr. Aaron Berkowitz. This time, Hans presents a case of headaches and loss of sensation in the left leg to Andrew and Maria.
Hans Kaus
Hans Kaus received his MD from Ross University School of Medicine. He completed his undergraduate education in Pharmacy at the University of Tübingen, Germany. Driven by a deep desire to understand patient concerns, Hans wanted to go beyond pharmaceutical care. While in medical school, the virtual morning reports, Clinical Problem Solvers, unleashed his passion for solving complex patient cases. The blend of medicine and pharmacy will markedly benefit patients. In his spare time, Hans enjoys embarking on long bicycle rides.
Andrew Sanchez
@ASanchez_PS
Andrew Sanchez is an exiting PGY-3 in internal medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital: he will soon be starting a career in academic hospital medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston. Meeting hospitalized patients and working with them to achieve diagnostic clarity is his primary clinical passion. His interest in diagnosing the undifferentiated patient is the driving force behind deep interest in learning and teaching diagnostic reasoning. On X/Twitter – which he considers the centerpiece of his teaching portfolio – he is known for creating and sharing schemas for both common and uncommon clinical dilemmas, which are frequently accompanied by “Tweetorial” commentary, as well as diagnostic case challenges.

CPSolvers: Anti-Racism in Medicine Series
Episode 24 – Leveraging Narrative Medicine to Cultivate Antiracist Praxis
Show Notes by Sudarshan Krishnamurthy
February 13, 2024
Summary: This episode highlights the ways in which we might leverage stories, at the individual and structural levels, to reimagine medicine with a liberatory practice. During this episode, we hear from Zahra Khan, an educator and editor who has written extensively on abolition in medicine, and Dr. Sayantani DasGupta, a physician-educator, prolific children’s book author and faculty at the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race and the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University. Together, our guests offer context around how the medical and carceral systems are deeply intertwined and go hand-in-hand. Further, they expand on this to discuss how we might use stories in the form of visionary and speculative fiction to reimagine new landscapes of health care. This discussion is hosted by Sudarshan Krishnamurthy and Ashley Cooper. The show notes for this episode were written by Sudarshan Krishnamurthy.
