Depression Era

To supplement preexisting wellness programming for the surgery clerkship, a faculty surgeon at Vanderbilt initiated Fireside Chats (FC) in 2015. Inspired by Franklin Roosevelt’s Depression-era radio broadcasts, FC features small group sizes, off-campus excursions, and a reimagining of the mentor–mentee relationship that eschews hierarchy in favor of deep, mutualistic connections in both personal and professional domains. Here we describe the rationale and implementation of FC and present survey data that demonstrate the warm reception of FC and its efficacy in stewarding the mental health of medical students. Moreover, unlike large group activities such as “learning communities,” FC continues to meet in-person during COVID-19 and preserves social engagement opportunities that may alleviate pandemic-induced isolation and distress.

Psychiatric Manifestations

A patient whose clinical presentation met criteria for schizophreniform disorder was ultimately found to have neurosarcoidosis, and the psychiatric symptoms responded to steroid treatment. The ongoing search for organic etiology was prompted by the presence of cognitive decline, perseveration and rare bizarre automatisms. This is virtually the first reported association between schizophreniform disorder and sarcoidosis. We reviewed the literature on neurologic involvement and psychiatric manifestations in sarcoidosis as well as the concurrence between organicity and schizophrenic psychosis. The importance of attending to all elements of the mental status examination in a patient with complex atypical findings is underscored.
