Diary of Anna Gross, MD
Klinikum Klagenfurt/Woerthersee, Austria
14.01.-19.01.2018
14 January, Sunday evening. My colleague Barbara and I arrived from Klagenfurt in the evening. The
travel was quite comfortable, because Salzburg is just 2,5 hours away from my hometown Klagenfurt.
I was really impressed by the location of the Seminar - Schloss Arenberg. It is beautiful with lots of
greenery around, very quiet, but also close to the city center of Salzburg. After the welcome reception
we enjoyed a very tasty and typical Austrian dinner: “Wiener Schnitzel”. The atmosphere in Schloss
Arenberg was very friendly and calm. The best part of the first evening was meeting many new people
from foreign countries. We enjoyed some delicious Austrian red wine at the lobby together, talking
about differences of work and life in our countries.
15 January, Monday. I woke up at 7a.m., got ready for a quick breakfast and took my really strong
coffee up to the seminar room. All participants of the seminar and faculty members gave short
information about themselves. Afterwards we had to do the pre-seminar-test. I did not find it very
easy. The questions covered a broad spectrum of topics. I did not know much about the GYN topics,
because at a second year resident in our clinic, we are mainly working in obstetrics. Anyway, we are
all here to learn, so the test should hopefully be better and easier on Friday. The first lecture by Dr.
Frank Chervanak was a really good start into the week. He talked about the reduction of professional
liability. Although it was shocking to hear how many treatment mistakes happen in hospitals, it is sad
reality. However individuals do not cause most of the mistakes, they are caused by a bad system the
people are working in. Afterwards he talked about some examples of the Weill Cornell Hospital and
how they tried to reduce such mistakes. On the first day, I liked the lecture about Congenital Infections
by Dr. Shari Gelber best. It was a good summary to remember everything that is important regarding
congenital infections. Dr. Shari Gelber is a very good speaker and makes clear explanations. I learned
a lot as well and will implement it in my daily practice at the outpatient department for pregnant
women.
After lunch break there was a lecture about Contraception held by Dr. Yelena Havryliuk. It was very
interesting to hear about the most common contraceptives in the US and how they decide which
contraceptive is the best for their patients. Unfortunately the workshop “How to present a case” and
the case presentations by the Faculty members did not take place. It would have been really interesting
to hear what they recommend for a good case presentation.After dinner, the day ended at the Armenian Lounge of Schloss Arenberg, playing an international tournament of table football, listening to music from different countries of the world, laughing and having cheerful conversations. Before going to sleep, I reviewed my case presentation one last time and tried to prepare for the next day. 16 January, Tuesday. Wake up, breakfast, coffee… The lectures started at 8 a.m. again, a bit too early for me, but fortunately they serve strong coffee here. On the second day, I liked the lecture about “Diabetes in Pregnancy” by Dr. Shari Gelber best. It is just a very important topic and it was interesting to learn how they manage their gestational diabetes patients in the US. I am confronted with gestational diabetes a lot in my daily clinical practice and it seems like we are treating our patients in Austria quite similar like they do in the US. Dr. Frank Chervenak held also a very impressive presentation about “Ultrasound and Fetal Anomalies”. He focused on the anomalies that are quite easy to detect on ultrasound, the ones you really should not miss. It was really educational for me, especially because I would like to specialize in prenatal ultrasound. Lunch… In the afternoon we started with case presentations. I enjoyed it to hear about lots of interesting cases and how they manage them in different countries of the world. I also held my case presentation: “Ventricular septal defect in Pregnancy”. I was nervous, but I think it went quite well and I am happy that I could answer all the questions my colleagues asked at the end of the presentation. After dinner my new friends from Mexico, Slovakia, Czeck Republic, Tanzania, Kazakhstan and me decided to go out into the city center of Salzburg. We went for a beer into a big brewery called “Augustiner Brauhaus”. Afterwards we found a really nice place where we could dance Salsa. Definitely, a night with awesome people I will remember for the rest of my life. 17 January, Wednesday. I did not sleep very much, so getting up on Wednesday was really hard. The strong coffee helped again a lot to stay awake, as well as the interesting lectures. I really loved the lecture about “Menopause” by Dr. Margaret Polaneczky. It is just a topic I really did not deal a lot with in my daily practice, so I learned a lot. She pointed out very clearly how and when they use hormone replacement therapy and when not, and how to decide what is the best for each individual patient. After lunch my colleague Barbara and I enjoyed our free afternoon. First we rested a bit in our rooms, afterwards we drove to the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet to do some shopping. Our evening ended at the Armenian Lounge on the 5th floor of the Schloss Arenberg, listening to music and chatting with our new friends. Even Prof. Christian Dadak came by and told us some stories about his time as a resident and how different working was back then. 18 January, Thursday. Everyday routine: getting up early, quick breakfast, lectures starting at 8 a.m. This was the first day of lectures of Austrian doctors from the faculty. I really enjoyed it because they talked about the standards we use in our country. Therefore, everything they talked about was really important for my daily practice in the hospital in Klagenfurt. I liked the lecture about “Vaginal Infections and Preterm Delivery” by Dr. Alex Farr best. The second afternoon of case reports was very interesting as well. I liked the case report about “Cerebral Malaria” best. It is a rare but really interesting differential diagnosis for Pre-Eclampsia/Eclampsia in pregnancy. Afterwards we visited the Hangar-7 and the Stiegl Brewery. In the evening we all attended the chamber music concert – the two musicians were really outstanding and it was great to listen to their virtuosic performance. Afterwards there was a reception at the lobby, where we could take some nice pictures with the professors. We decided to spend our last evening doing some karaoke at a pub in Salzburg. It was so much fun again and I was really happy that lots of people from our seminar came to celebrate our last evening together.
19 January, Friday. I had to hand in my diary on Thursday evening. So I can just tell what the schedule
planned for the last day. In the morning the last 4 lectures took place. Afterwards we had to do the
post-seminar test. Sadly Barbara and me had to leave for home already on Friday afternoon, so we
missed the Farewell Reception and the Graduation Dinner on the last evening.
To sum up, I will always remember this great week, learning a lot of expertise from great doctors from
Austria and America. Even more important, I really made lovely new friends and met awesome people
from all over the world. I am sure some of the friendships will last for a lifetime. So I am really sad to
leave. Hopefully we all will meet again sometime.
Anna Gross, MD (Austria)SEMINAR DIARY FROM FELLOW
Diary of Dinara Makhadiyeva, MD
Ecomed Clinic, Kazakhstan
14.01.-19.01.2018
14 January, Sunday evening. It was an amazing start of the Salzburg seminar. I immediately found
myself welcome and right at home when I arrived at the Schloss Arenberg. I had a chance to introduce
myself to many interesting people who were doctors working in obstetrics and gynecology and
essentially colleagues from around the world. We became all so close right from the beginning when
we met at the dinner that evening. I was thrilled to explore medicine from a different point of clinical
view.
15 January, Monday. The first lecture of the day delivered by Prof. Chervenak made me think about
the importance of continuous improvement of one’s clinical setting and acknowledgment of weak links
requiring to be changed. Patient’s safety would always remain a priority. By the end of the lecture, I
had noted down a list of ideas I had previously been planning to implement into my daily practice such
as introducing checklists for all stages of IVF cycle treatment at the clinic and reviewing patient’s
prescription of IVF medication during ovarian stimulation to minimize the risk of untimely
administration of it. Nobody is perfect but perfection is what we should always strive for. The evening
with new friends was a great fun. We went out to visit main sights in Salzburg. One day felt as a month
worth of amazing memories.
16 January, Tuesday. Being a doctor is a demanding but rewarding profession. We have to always
improve our skills and stay up to date with the latest evidence based medicine to deliver the best
quality clinical practice. Today’s lectures had repeatedly emphasized a new approach in the
management of patients that involved personalization of an intended treatment plan. The clinical
decisions should not be just based on patient’s isolated signs and symptoms of a certain disease but
rather on a person as a whole. Physician’s autonomy that was briefly touched on during the lectures
remains one of the crucial aspects of our daily practice as it warrants effective personalization of
patient’s management. We should never blindly follow existing clinical guidelines because medicine is
a fast changing science in the modern world.
17 January, Wednesday. Every day brought a new reason for me to reflect on my clinical practice at
the Salzburg seminar. It had opened my eyes to things I had not been probably paying enough
attention. I greatly enjoyed the lecture on menopause, which covered many challenges that we face
in decision making in regards to the treatment of women complaining of symptoms associated with
menopause. The lecture was simple but very informative and absorbing. Apart from formal teachingat the seminar there was a form of informal teaching as well. It involved interaction with colleagues
from other countries. We would share our experience and knowledge or debate on various clinical
questions. That was my favorite part of the seminar as it challenged and made me want to be proactive
in changing medicine back home to the better.
18 January, Thursday. I should say that today was the most memorable day of the week. It started
with excellent lectures on obstetrical issues, which were common in daily clinical practice. That gave a
good revision on topics I had not been practicing for some time. Then there were fellow's presentations
in the afternoon including my own clinical case presentation. I did not expect air to be so inspiring and
shocking in a good way. The more information you receive the more questions you get. Today's
teaching left me craving for further knowledge and desire to share it with colleagues back home.
