Addressing the Vaccine-Hesitant with Dr. Gretchen LaSalle

43min | 05/04/2020

Description

Gretchen LaSalle, MD FAAFP is a board-certified family physician with a passion for preventative care, from which vaccine advocacy is a natural extension. She is an active writer and public speaker on the topic and, in October 2019, published a book with Wolters Kluwer Press titled Let’s Talk Vaccines: A Clinician’s Guide to Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy and Saving Lives. In a growing climate of vaccine hesitancy, her primary mission is to keep patients from falling victim to vaccine misinformation and to decrease the frustrations, while increasing the successes, that clinicians have in getting patients vaccinated.

We discuss how to have the most fruitful discussion with the vaccine hesitant. She has a system for addressing these patients and parents and no surprise, it starts with listening. The hesitation comes with all sorts of concerns, from stories they have heard, to potential side-effects, to simply indecision and she has a well thought out discussion for all of these. We get into the cognitive biases that may be at play and end on her experiences on social media with the vaccine averse, who are the vocal majority, but really the minority vs. someone who is simply hesitant.

She completed her medical school training at the Tulane University School of Medicine and her residency at the Oregon Health and Science University. She has practiced at MultiCare Rockwood Clinic in Spokane, Washington for the last 13 years and serves as a Clinical Associate Professor for the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.

About Succeed in Medicine

Was your training enough to handle everything physician life demands? From lawsuits to leadership, career decisions to challenging conversations, balancing the personal with the professional — not enough was addressed in medical school, residency or fellowship. This show fills those gaps so you can live up to the expectations that come with the white coat — not just in the exam room, but in all the places your MD follows you. Your host, Dr. Bradley Block, a private practice ENT, is right there with you — navigating the same challenges and bringing in world-class guests to teach, as he puts it, “everything we should have been learning while we were memorizing Kreb’s cycle.” With nearly 500 episodes and close to half a million downloads, Brad has built a trusted space where physicians come for brass-tacks, immediately-applicable advice. You don’t need another certification. You need a podcast that covers personal finance, private practice, side-gigs, main-gigs, reacting to bad reviews, misinformation, social media, charting, parenting, communicating, negotiating, leading, managing, teaching, learning and what to do when someone yells, “Is there a doctor on board?”
