Clinical Elective Highlight ✨ ⚕️

#PAStudent: Devany Morales Deleon, Class of 2026
Elective: Robotic Gynecology Surgery

"I chose this elective because I've always enjoyed procedures and I wanted to gain more insight into the role of a surgical PA. I would like to thank the amazing Robotic Gynecology Surgery APP team who made me feel like I was truly part of the team: Patricie Stephens, PA-C, Melissa Livermore, PA-C, Anju Patel, PA-C, and Gai Casenas, NP. I am also thankful for Latisha Bryson, RN, scrub nurse, and Victoria Starnes, M.D., resident in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, who greatly contributed to my learning."

Clinical Elective Highlight ✨ ⚕️

#PAStudent: Lexus Wilson, Class of 2026
Elective: Pediatric Cardiology - Children's Medical Center Dallas

"I chose pediatric cardiology as my elective because of my passion for working with kids and my interest in the heart. I spent two weeks with the cardiovascular thoracic surgery team where I had the chance to scrub into septal defect repairs, aortic arch repairs, arterial switches, and more. I spent one week working with the CVICU, assisting with rounds on critical patients including patients who had received heart transplants. I also spent a week with the Acute Cardiology Care Unit (ACCU) for a week, a step-down floor from the CVICU, preparing kids and families for discharge."

💐 Special thank you to all my preceptors for their guidance and support during this rotation:
⚕️Marlee Ashton, APRN, PNP-AC
⚕️Rebekah Chesney, APRN, PNP-AC/PC
⚕️Allissa Bowman, PA-C
⚕️Stephany Herchman, PA-C
⚕️Sydnee Mitchell, PA-C
⚕️Alan O’Donnell, PA-C
⚕️Jessica Wright, PA-C

Having balanced meals made with whole foods is helpful for managing type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

In another post from our amazing United To Serve Clinical Nutrition volunteers, here’s a simple medium carb dish that is high in fiber and protein:

Lean Beef Tacos
Serves 4

12 Whole corn tortillas
1 lb lean ground beef, 95% lean/5% fat
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1.5 tsp cumin powder
1.5 tsp oregano, dried
1.5 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp chipotle powder
2 roma tomatoes, diced small
1/2 cup white onion, diced finely
1/2 cup cilantro, minced

Salad:
8 cups lettuce of your choice (a serving is 2 cups)
4 tbsp olive oil
2 limes, cut into wedges
2 limes, cut into halves to squeeze over lettuce

Directions:
1. Set oven to 350 degrees
2. Heat pan to medium-high heat
3. Add olive oil, add spices and oregano, sauté for 1 minute
4. Add ground beef, break up with your spatula and keep sauteing for 7-10 minutes
5. On a baking sheet, layout 3-6 corn tortillas, and heat for 7-10 minutes
6. Assemble each taco with 1/4 cup of ground beef, 1/4 cup of tomatoes, and 1 tbsp of onion and cilantro.
7. Serve with lettuce drizzled with olive oil and freshly squeezed lime.
8. Don’t forget to drink 2 cups of water with your meals.

Buen provecho!

#hispanicheritagemonth #wholegrainsmonth #wholegrains #mealprep

This delicious and satisfying meal is high in fiber, protein, saturated fat, and iron.

It has a medium source of carbs, sodium, calcium, and potassium.

Reading food labels can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be.

The % Daily Value (DV) is a guide based on a 2,000 calorie/day diet.

When you see:
20% DV or more = High source
10-19% = Medium “good” source
Less than 5% = Low source

There’s no food that is good or bad. Just all it like it is, high protein, high fiber, or high saturated fat. That tells you more information about the food than calling it “good” or “bad”.

Some meals may have more saturated fat that others, and that is okay. What is important is it’s all about your long-term eating patterns and your overall health goals.

Game day started with a special delivery! ⚽️🙌

Puranjay Shori, a second-year @utswmedschool student, and Ella Chaisson, a @utsw_shp Prosthetics and Orthotics student, represented UT Southwestern during the game ball delivery for @dallastrinityfc.

We love seeing our students take the field! A person in a blue shirt and another in a white soccer uniform are on a large soccer field in an open, empty stadium. The person in white has a foot on a soccer ball. They appear to be exchanging a friendly gesture. by @utsw_shp

Happy Whole Grains Month from our UT Southwestern United to Serve volunteer registered-dietitians-to-be!

They put together a board to teach us what whole grains are that have some samples. Swipe to learn about the whole grain, samples, and how to quickly find them at the store.

Stay tuned for an easy whole grains recipe for next week!

¡Feliz Mes de los Granos Integrales de parte de nuestros estudiantes voluntarios de UT Southwestern que se están preparando para ser dietistas registrados!

¡Mantente al pendiente de una receta fácil con granos integrales que compartiremos la próxima semana!

Whole grains have three parts (from outside to inside):
1. Germ - the smallest part → the seed
2. Endosperm - the largest part → the food for the seed
3. Bran - outer layer → the shield that protects the seed’s food.
For example, whole grain corn tortillas, whole wheat tortillas, or whole wheat bread are made with the entire grain. But, flour tortillas or white bread are only made with the endosperm.

Los granos integrales tienen tres partes (de afuera hacia adentro):
1. Germen - la parte más pequeña → la semilla.
2. Endospermo - la parte más grande → el alimento para la semilla.
3. Salvado - la capa exterior → el escudo que protege el alimento de la semilla.
Por ejemplo, las tortillas de maíz integral, las tortillas de trigo integral y el pan de trigo integral están hechos con el grano completo. En cambio, las tortillas de harina refinada y el pan blanco están hechos principalmente con el endospermo.

The benefits of whole grains:
1. They are packed with vitamins and minerals that help our bodies work properly.
2. They have more fiber than non-whole grai by @utsw_shp

Clinical Elective Highlight ✨ ⚕️

#PAStudent: Sabrina Ng, Class of 2026
Elective: Blue Ribbon Dermatology

"I selected this elective because I wanted to observe dermatology from a provider's perspective and to get a more hands-on experience in procedures. In my time at Blue Ribbon Dermatology, I’ve seen a spectrum of interesting rashes and “spots,” assisted in surgical excisions, performed shave/punch biopsies, and removed sutures. I am thankful to my preceptor, Dr. Aboul-Fettouh, for being a great teacher and an intelligently talented individual."
