NBC Story on Teleos' Medical School Partner: Doctors with Emotional Intelligence Make House Calls

February 09, 2012

  Teleos has had the great privilege of supporting the emergence of a new medical education model for up-and-coming physicians. This new program, SELECT, is a collaboration between University of South Frorida College of Medicine and Lehigh Valley Health Network, in PA to create physician leaders and change agents into the world of US healthcare. Teleos has brought our leadership, curriculum design and emotional intelligence expertise to the core of the program, beginning with Behavioral Event Interviews that assess emotional intelligence in applicants, to the key EI experiential immersion sessions for each cohort, and the building lock on development of EI skills, such as empathy, social awareness, collaboration, coaching.

"I get to hear things I would not be able to crunch in to a 5-10 minute visit in a doctor's office," says first year medical student Chris Pothering. Pothering is in the "Select" Program at the University of South Florida. Not only did he have to pass the MCAT to get in, he had to pass an emotional intelligence test commonly taken by CEO candidates. "We want to make sure that these students exhibit not only the qualities that will make them outstanding physicians, outstanding clinicians, but also leaders," explains Dr. Alicia Monroe, Vice Dean of Educational Affairs at USF's College of Medicine. The heart of the program is making sure doctors have a heart. There's a strong emphasis on teaching the students to see things from a patient's perspective, to get to know them and learn how their job, family and social life affect the decisions they make about their health. That's why Pothering is taking the time to get to know patient Emma Donahue in her home environment." Watch the NBC video

Teleos Client Spotlight: Creative Commons on a Shared Culture

January 31, 2012

We have had the incredible pleasure of working closely with the Board of Directors and leadership at Creative Commons, an organization with the following mission:

Our vision is nothing less than realizing the full potential of the Internet — universal access to research and education, full participation in culture — to drive a new era of development, growth, and productivity.

Teleos is committed to the mission and vision of Creative Commons and we would like to invite you to get connected and share your best ideas through Creative Commons licensing options. For a brief overview of Creative Commons, check out their new video. From Creative Commons website: "Our 2008 fundraising campaign, Creative Commons has released “A Shared Culture,” a short video by renowned filmmaker Jesse Dylan. Known for helming a variety of films, music videos, and the Emmy Award-winning “Yes We Can” Barack Obama campaign video collaboration with rapper will.i.am, Dylan created “A Shared Culture” to help spread the word about the Creative Commons mission. In the video, some of the leading thinkers behind Creative Commons describe how the organization is helping “save the world from failed sharing” through free tools that enable creators to easily make their work available to the public for legal sharing and remix. Dylan puts the Creative Commons system into action by punctuating the interview footage with dozens of photos that have been offered to the public for use under CC licenses. Similarly, he used two CC-licensed instrumental pieces by Nine Inch Nails as the video’s soundtrack music. These tracks, “17 Ghosts II” and “21 Ghosts III,” come from the Nine Inch Nails album Ghosts I-IV, which was released earlier this year under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license."
