Amir Mian, Arthur H. Dilly Endowed Chair in Pediatric Oncology, Division Chief, Pediatric Hematology Oncology at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin, shared on LinkedIn:
“Last week was my service block for transplant – good timing, since we hit the one-year mark of our program’s launch and completed another autologous stem cell transplant. We marked it the way we always do: cake, a team selfie, the whole thing.
With additional leadership responsibilities across Dept of Peds and Heme-Onc-BMT, you’d think I completely rely on dashboards to give me the full picture. Wrong! No dashboard or spreadsheet shows the challenges, the opportunities, or the real story of why this work matters – not the way direct patient care does. Dashboards and spreadsheets give you a snapshot of what’s happening. Only being at the bedside tells you why it’s happening, and what’s behind it.. and above all, why it matters.
Being at bedside keeps me grounded. It keeps me connected to my teams. And it changes how I make impactful decisions. It truly shapes my leadership.
The week was also a reminder of the real force and what took to build this program: Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin serving as an anchor and magnet for specialized talent needed to make it possible at Dell Children’s Medical Center. Truly an honor and privilege to be part of team.”
