Ariana Pelosci: Ramy Sedhom on Geriatric Oncology, Palliative Care, and Finding Purpose in Medicine

Ariana Pelosci, Editor at MJH Life Sciences, shared a post on LinkedIn by Cancer Network, adding:

“The newest episode of Double Blind is up, and our guest, Ramy Sedhom of Penn Medicine, might be one of the most thoughtful conversations we’ve had on the show.

Dr. Sedhom leads geriatric oncology and palliative care efforts at Penn Medicine Princeton Health, and what struck me most wasn’t just his clinical expertise, it was how honestly he talked about the field. About the mentors who built geriatric oncology and palliative care before those specialties even had names. About losing touch with why he went into medicine in the first place, and finding his way back. About why ‘work-life balance’ might be the wrong goal entirely, and why ‘job crafting’ is a better one.

Then, true to Double Blind form, we put him through the paces: a Hall of Fame draft of the field’s visionaries, a blind ranking of five landmark trials, a conference bracket, and a $10 budget draft for his dream research team (Peppa Pig made the cut – you’ll have to watch to understand).

Quoting Cancer Network:

“New episode of Double Blind!
This week’s guest is Ramy Sedhom from Penn Medicine Princeton Health

Hosts Ariana Pelosci and Pat Pastore put Dr. Sedhom through Double Blind’s signature games – a Hall of Fame draft of the visionaries behind geriatric and palliative oncology, a blind ranking of five landmark trials (GAP70+, STEP Palliative Care, the Basch PRO study, GAIN-S, and ENABLE), a conference bracket, and a $10 budget draft for his dream research team.

Along the way: honest talk on work-life balance, job crafting, and the advice he’d give trainees just starting out -‘focus on meaning, not milestones.’ ”
