Plume recently established an endowed scholarship* at the URochester\u2019s School of Medicine and Dentistry (SMD). The impetus for his gift? To give back to a school that played a formative role in his life and his approach to medicine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very appreciative of what I learned at Rochester,\u201d says Plume, who has spent most of his life in Vermont, just across the New Hampshire state line from Hanover, N.H. \u201cThe school and faculty members such as Dr. George Engel, who founded the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/medialibraries\/urmcmedia\/education\/md\/documents\/biopsychosocial-model-approach.pdf\">biopsychosocial approach<\/a> with Dr. John Romano, provided me with practical knowledge and insight that informed my entire career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plume had a particular affinity for Engel, who was his professor and mentor. \u201cThis scholarship pays homage to what he meant to me,\u201d he adds. \u201cIt\u2019s a way for me to honor his influence and, at the same, to support future generations of medical students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To make an immediate impact, Plume also established a current use fund to have resources available to name a scholarship recipient for the current 2021-2 academic year. Olanrewaju Akande, a first-year medical student, is the first Plume scholar. Recently, the two had the opportunity to meet over Zoom. \u201cOlanrewaju is a motivated young man with a great future ahead of him,\u201d he says. \u201cHe is deserving of a scholarship and I am glad to support him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout Dr. Plume\u2019s support, I truly do not envision myself sitting alongside my peers at the URochester today,&#8221; says Akande. &#8220;Because of his generosity, I am here, at the School of Medicine and Dentistry\u2014my top choice for medical school\u2014and I do not have the financial constraints that often limit others with comparable backgrounds. I will be forever grateful to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here, Plume elaborates on his time at the medical school and his reasons for giving back.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What was the catalyst for establishing this scholarship?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Although I\u2019ve always supported the Medical School through its annual fund, I came away from my 50th reunion a few years ago with a wish to do something more for the institution. I reconnected with friends I hadn\u2019t seen in decades and I walked through spaces that held significant meaning for me. All of this rekindled feelings of loyalty and affection and prompted me to reflect on what I learned during medical school and how important that time was in my life and career.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What do you wish for Olanrewaju and future Plume scholars?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>My wish for all medical students is to find honorable and satisfying careers in medicine. In addition to the benefits of the rigorous academic program at SMD, I\u2019m hopeful Olanrewaju and future beneficiaries of this scholarship become exposed to and take advantage of the hallmarks of a Rochester education. We\u2019ve all benefitted from our grounding in a humanistic interest in medicine, regardless of our areas of specialty. \u00a0I\u2019m proud to be associated with Rochester.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you think the biopsychosocial model transformed clinical care? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At first, some people thought it was too \u201csoft\u201d and wanted to \u201cget back to the real stuff,\u201d \u00a0not yet recognizing that described diseases are not the same as experienced illnesses. It became a big part of our medical education. For me, it comes down to this: illness is an individual experience that manifests differently in each one of us. It\u2019s personal. We can learn about named diseases in textbooks, but we do not understand an illness until we connect with the person, in the context of that person\u2019s life, goals, and distinct environment. This approach has carried over to other aspects of my life, influencing how I interact with colleagues, institutional leaders, family, and friends.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How did Dr. Engel mentor you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When I was a student, we were required to ask someone to serve as our clinical advisor during our third and fourth years. I asked Dr. Engel to be mine. At first, he seemed a bit taken aback\u2014I\u2019m not sure he had been asked before. But, he agreed and took me on along with another classmate, Ivy Bock Boyle \u201969M (MD), who spent her career in child and adolescent psychiatry. We became a triumvirate of sorts. We would practice a particular pattern that put the biopsychosocial model into the clinical environment.<\/p>\n<p>It went like this: one week, Dr. Engel would interview a patient and Ivy and I would just listen. The next week, we would go through a tape of that interview and deconstruct it. He\u2019d ask us things like \u201cWhat just happened? What did we hear? What didn\u2019t we hear? Why do we think he asked a certain question?\u201d The third week, Ivy or I would interview patients and we\u2019d begin the cycle again. That intense analysis, coaching, and modeling of patient and clinical interaction stuck with me forever. Those detailed, careful listening experiences influenced, I hope, all my clinical interactions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why choose SMD for medical school? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I had a good, honest conversation with the admissions officer during my medical school interview. I had ridden the bus all night from Cambridge, Mass., with an evolving wisdom tooth extraction infection. Despite that distraction, the chemistry was there. I felt good about the place and knew it was right for me.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Advice for prospective medical students?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I do a lot of admissions interviewing for Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. I advise prospective students not to over-intellectualize their decision. I encourage them to learn what they can about the schools they are considering, and then to ask themselves, \u201cWill I like and trust the people I\u2019ve met?\u201d I remind them that the people shaping their values, whether explicitly or through what has been called \u201cthe hidden curriculum\u201d of medical school, are at least as important as the subjects studied. Getting my medical education among those I trust and respect was one of the best decisions of my life.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do you have counsel for those who may be considering a gift to the school?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I encourage other alumni to reflect on what their medical school experience has meant to them over the course of their careers. Then, if they are thinking about making a gift, do what feels right to help nurture the traditional values and expertise that are synonymous with the school.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#e7e7e7&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Make a difference<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Contact <a href=\"mailto:melissa.head@rochester.edu\">Melissa Head<\/a>, executive director for URMC Academic Programs, to learn more about how you can make a difference in the lives of our medical students, faculty, and patients.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]* The Stephen K.
