Ep. 277 - Lindsey Hjelm, DPM, FACFAS - The Power of Positive Psychology!
Dean's Chat hosts, Dr. Jensen and Richey, welcome Dr. Lindsey Hjelm from St. Cloud Minneapolis. Join us as we discuss all things podiatric medicine, including the importance of positive psychology and the importance and power of mentorship. Dr. Hjelm graduated in the top of her class with a Bachelors of Arts in Biology and a Minor in Studio Art and Religious Studies at Gustave Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota. Join us, as we discuss liberal arts education and non-traditional paths. We cover how being a student athlete helps with resiliency and grit as well as develop skills like time management. This episode is sponsored by Bako Diagnostics! She went on to complete her Doctorate of Podiatric Medical Degree with Des Moines University followed by a three year surgical residency program with Franciscan Foot and Ankle Institute in Federal Way, Washington. She completed her fellowship under the direction of Dr. Byron Hutchinson with Advanced Foot and Ankle Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship. Listen how Dr. Hjelm's career was shaped after she suffered an injury as an athlete and how having a female surgeon inspired her at a young age. We dive into how setbacks can help us become the best versions of ourselves and give us better perspectives, both as we treat patients, but also how we show up and lead others. Finally, we transition into leadership by highlighting how small the profession is and the value of relationships. We discuss the networking and connections that have shaped all of our lives and how having the courage to reach out to others who you admire can lead to opportunities you never thought may happen. Mentorship can happen organically and she discusses how mentors can be found in many places and platforms. We hope you enjoy this inspiring episode. Enjoy!
