Today is October 17th, 2020. Please confirm for the record that you are aware that this is being recorded and that you are giving your permission to do this interview.\n\nMegan Haughton: Yes, you have my permission. I am aware this is being recorded.\n\nCrystal Bauer: All right. Would you please give your name in full?\n\nMegan Haughton: My name is Megan Claire Haughton.\n\nCrystal Bauer: And where are you currently attending school?\n\nMegan Haughton: I go to Pacific Northwest University in Yakima, Washington.\n\nCrystal Bauer: And what are your plans after you graduate?\n\nMegan Haughton: I'm a fourth year, and right now, probably after this meeting, I'm going to hit the submit button on my residency application. My plans for after is to attend at least a three-year residency in family medicine. Depending on how things go I might try to do a year of fellowship in OB, but we'll see. I might be ready to be done by then. So we'll see.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Sounds good. Can you speak about your current schedule? What do you do on a daily basis?\n\nMegan Haughton: Okay. So right now I'm in the middle of the application season as a fourth year. I just finished four weeks of an audition rotation here in Washington, and then I'm actually later today headed off to Idaho, from Olympia to spend two months in Idaho doing two more sets of four weeks of audition rotations over there.\n\nSo basically it depends on what my schedule is. The past four weeks it was a lot of, in the morning I would work with a resident. Depending on the year of the resident I would see anywhere from two, three, four patients a morning or an afternoon. Go in and see the patient myself. Come out, talk with the resident about my plan, what I would think we need to be doing. The resident comes in with me and then we talk about our plan together. Then we'd go precept with the attending doctor. I'd go and present them what I think, what we decided, and then they come and say hello to the patient and then the patient visit's over. That was really fun. I did a lot of that, as well as mix in with pharmacy and behavioral health. So pretty neat.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Great. Yeah. That's great. So what unique challenges... What are the barriers and obstacles you have come across this year?\n\nMegan Haughton: Yeah, so that's a very good question. Right now I appreciate that everything's kind of gotten back to normal, more or less. I was on online classes for 17 weeks from end of March to end of July. My school did a really good job of responding to us all being taken out of rotations and had online options in whatever we were on. I was on pediatrics and surgery. But it's definitely not the same. My surgery class, we would give each other presentations and YouTube videos. That's not exactly ideal.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Right.\n\nMegan Haughton: So as a fourth year med student. You know, I'm going to be a doctor hopefully in less than a year. And it just felt weird to not get that hands-on patient experience, but with COVID-19 obviously training everything like that. I definitely think that since being [inaudible], I don't take it for granted, you don't see patients anymore. I'm very grateful for any experience I get. And I think everyone's a little bit more prepared for how to incorporate the students into helping take care of patients. And then just in general, I know everybody's worried about this at fourth year med students and as residency program, all of our interviews are going to be virtual this year, which is going to be a lot more people applying to programs because they don't have to travel to go for an interview, but we're all learning together. So I know it's not just the students that are worried about it. I know the residency programs also have some anxiety about it as well.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Did that impact how many residencies you applied for, the fact that you didn't have to travel, was that an impact for you?\n\nMegan Haughton: Oh, thank you. For me, no not totally. Mainly cause I'm from the Pacific Northwest and I kind of would like to stay in this area and also applying to some programs in Colorado, because I went to undergrad in Colorado and I really like it. And luckily for family medicine, there's a lot of options for good residency programs. So, but I know that for some of my colleagues going into other specialties, like emergency medicine and the anesthesia that definitely impacted how many they're going to apply to.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Sure. Could you describe how COVID-19 has impacted your current educational institution?\n\nMegan Haughton: Yeah. My school, I think has done a really good job on responding to it, having the classes online. I know that for first and second year medical students, they kind of have a hybrid model of classes. My first two years, we had classes all day, every day online or in person. And now I think most of it, it's online for like labs, anatomy labs and for osteopathical for medicine labs, for clinical skill labs, [inaudible] in groups of about 20. So there's not too much at once. So I think there's been a lot of really good creative... Figuring out how to make this work for everybody, to make it safe.\n\nMegan Haughton: It's been hard for people to feel connected as all of us are when we're all online. So I know that's a little bit of an issue that we're all starting, trying to work with, but overall, I mean, I think there's some things it's made it more efficient, and I know that a third, fourth year student, your outline with clinicals and usually have didactics once a week and they're able to be online so you don't have to travel, which is nice. And so, there's certain things that have definitely made an actually better.\n\nCrystal Bauer: That's good. So, you've kind of talked a little bit about this already, but how do you see COVID-19 impacting the learning of students and residents and family medicine in general, and what changes do you think will be permanent and what do you think are temporary?\n\nMegan Haughton: That's a good question. For me, I think one thing I know I have appreciated as somebody applying to residency, is the virtual residency fairs. People have done a really good job of attending to that. Obviously be nicer to actually go to these residency programs in person, but it has been nice to be able to just hop on at the end of the day and talk to people and talk to programs that, I wouldn't be going to an in-person residency fair for Colorado school as somebody who's busy in Washington. So it's been nice to be able to buzz into that. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we have a hybrid of some in-person residency fairs, as well as virtual. I know that for learning and such, I mean, patient care, I definitely feel like some of those virtual visits that now where each of you... are pretty efficient, sometimes the technology isn't perfect, but I will admit that it is nice to be able to get on and get off.\n\nMegan Haughton: And I do hope... I'm a very extroverted, people person. I don't know how well I would've done as a med student in my first two years, without the connection of my classmates around me all the time. I'm really close with one of my professors back in Yakima. And she was telling me that, their first years are actually doing pretty well because they don't know any better [inaudible] education has been. But the second years it's just been a little bit harder, because they had their whole first year to kind of get set up the routine of how they're going to study, and what groups they're going to be in. And now they don't have that. So I think the adjustment is a little bit harder than people who are just like, Yeah, this is how med school's like apparently.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Yeah.\n\nMegan Haughton: I know that for me, I definitely thrived a lot off of my fellow peers, and I had tutors, and professors and just kind of being in the community was really helpful for me to do medical school. I hope we can go back to that.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Sure. So what skills do you think family doctors need to fight the pandemic, and how do you see medical and residency programs adapting to help their students in residence meet these demands?\n\nMegan Haughton: That's a great question. I guess I say that before every question. I think just being flexible, one reason why I'm going into family medicine is because I feel like in general, our specialty is a little bit more flexible in terms of trying to meet people where they're at or where society is, I know that I've already felt supported by family medicine as a specialty, since this all has happened, compared to the significant other is going to anesthesia, not to diss anesthesia, but it's just been a little bit different experiences we've had based on, I think being flexible and then just continuing educating people. I think there's a lot of fear and misinformation that people are getting about COVID-19.\n\nMegan Haughton: I think one of the biggest things we can do as student residents and physicians is just to remain a calm voice, with statistics and facts. And listen to our patients on the civil they're coming from and be empathetic towards them, but also give them that great information that we have and continuing to support them through this process, in more than just the physical ways also emotionally. I know that [inaudible] since this all started and so making sure we checked in with our patients to say that they're okay emotionally as well mentally, just to make sure everything is going as best as it can be given the circumstances.\n\nCrystal Bauer: So a whole person approach.\n\nMegan Haughton: Exactly! The whole person approach. Because... Yeah.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Yeah. What have you personally learned through this pandemic?\n\nMegan Haughton: I think what I have learned is, people where they're at, we all have a kind of a different opinion on how to approach this pandemic, based on personal experiences. Some people are really, really scared and don't want to go anywhere. Some people are totally doing what they're going to do anyway, and then everybody in between. So I think it's important to realize that, respect the fact that somebody might have a lot of anxiety and they might not want to hug you or be near you.\n\nMegan Haughton: And it's nothing personal, it's just maybe they have a family member who's immunocompromised, but just as they might not want to be close to you, you also have to respect people's decision who might want to be closer to people, or go do what they need to do in order to take care of their mental health. So, just continuing, learning from each other, asking questions with kindness and curiosity rather than judgment and realizing we're all trying our best through this time. It's been really helpful, then also I've just learned that, what are my anchors to help me through any process for family and friends, and taking time to exercise, call people, all that type of thing.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Good skills, good skills to have. Definitely. So if you could start this year over again and do things differently regarding COVID-19 care, what would you change?\n\nMegan Haughton: Good question. I don't know the answer to this. Personally as a medical student, I wish I could have been more helpful. I wish there could've been a way for me not to be on online classes for 17 weeks.\n\nMegan Haughton: I know I was on an ER rotation when we got pulled off, and the ER, I realized it was one of the most spots where you're most likely to get exposed. However, I felt really useful because I was at a small rural community hospital, and the doctor was actually doing a little bit COVID-19 research. And so just a lot of work to do. So I said, Hey, why don't you go see the patient come back report. I got to work on this report together. So, figure out a way to utilize students, whether it be, whatever it is you guys as students, for whatever medical knowledge we do have. And I think depending where you are, some people were able to do that. So that's good. But I know I felt a little bit like, I have some medical knowledge, I'm not a doctor yet, but I wouldn't... Sitting at home on online classes felt like not ideal.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Sure. During the pandemic, what do you feel you've done right and why?\n\nMegan Haughton: I think, like I said, just being hopefully a calm voice to family and friends, and in patients, I've gotten to see in terms of the pandemic and just learning how to... It's a big social experiment, I feel like as well as the medicine behind it, but also trying to educate people on how germs are related to each other, or how you can get germs from other people and respecting people's boundaries and just more public health in general. So like, washing your hands more often, I mean, that's something that seems really simple, but I feel like people are doing a lot better. I'll be interested to see what happens this season with the flu, if I had to predict it will be less flu, but as people are getting more social distancing, washing hands and doing things that we're doing for the Corona virus, but then also apply to the flu.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Great point. What do you feel that has gone wrong for you and why? Related to the pandemic.\n\nMegan Haughton: I just know I spent a lot of time being really frustrated about not being able to help, or really be able to out and doing things. And so I think if I could go back, if I still wasn't allowed to be on classes or doing things. Just also just being present in the moment and be like, it's okay that I'm not doing a whole lot and take advantage of this time. That would be good. And then, Oh, I wish I had studied harder. I took the boards at the end of the summer, my love level to this, and I wish I had done a better job of like staying on it, more regimen schedule to study. It was kind of hard to study when it was like, you just need to study everything for who knows how long amount of time. So just learning more again, just like how to make a schedule and stick to it. I think I could have better use my time for applying to residency and studying for boards, [inaudible]\n\nCrystal Bauer: Sure.. Are there any views on important issues in the specialty related to COVID-19 that we've not addressed here, and that you would like to share with us?\n\nMegan Haughton: Just that, I love family medicine and I think we have a really important role as students, and residents, and future... and physicians and family medicine, just to help take care of the whole patient and help people where they're at. I mean, it is amazing since I've been back in patient care, how much people have been like, this has been the worst year yet. And so, trying to learn... I'd like to learn more about motivational interviewing. And we only have so much time in our appointments, but people do need to come in and have a place to talk or give some good resources on how to get through kind of an uncontrolled anxiety provoking time.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Sure.\n\nMegan Haughton: That would be important.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Sure. Well, are there any last thoughts you'd like to add? This is your opportunity to share your thoughts with future generations, listening to this recording, or to set the record straight on anything you feel might be important to address.\n\nMegan Haughton: I would just say keep chugging. It's fun to be part of... it's kind of an honor and a privilege to be part of the medical community always, but especially when something like the coronavirus is happening and realizing that, your opinion means a lot to your peers and to your family and friends. And to try to be positive and understanding and a good role model as well, but take care of yourself because that's super important. You're patient number one. So you got to remember that.\n\nCrystal Bauer: Good advice. Well, thank you so much. This will conclude our interview and I'd like to thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview.\n\nMegan Haughton: Yeah. Well thank you so much, Crystal. I appreciate it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2334/collection_resources/103841/file/203888#t=0.0,1078.8"}]}]}]}
