I’m writing a piece for Medscape’s MedLife section about physicians who’ve successfully “managed upward”—in other words, junior or early-career doctors who took initiative in ways that improved their working relationships with senior colleagues or supervisors, particularly in clinical or hospital settings. I’m looking to speak with: Younger doctors (residents, fellows, or early-career attendings) who’ve found smart, medically grounded ways to collaborate more effectively with senior physicians—whether that involved diplomatically introducing updated guidelines, helping improve team communication during rounds, or streamlining clinical processes that made life easier for everyone. Managers/senior physicians who’ve been positively impacted by a junior colleague doing something unique or thoughtful to “manage up.” All examples should be specific to medical practice, not general workplace dynamics. If you or someone you know has a great story to share, I’d love to connect.

Seeking U.S.-based experts in pulmonology to comment on innovations in COPD and asthma care I am working on a Medscape article about new approaches to managing COPD and asthma that go beyond standard inhaler therapy. I am seeking U.S.-based pulmonologists, researchers, or physicians with experience in pulmonary medicine to share insights on emerging strategies in clinical practice and research. Questions: What innovations in COPD and asthma care are you seeing beyond pharmacotherapy (e.g., breathing techniques, pulmonary rehab, personalized approaches)? Are you using or researching personalized oxygen protocols? If so, how do they compare with standard oxygen therapy? What role do biologic or precision-medicine therapies play in COPD and asthma management today? What barriers exist in implementing these newer approaches (cost, access, adherence)? How can primary care providers best incorporate or refer for these innovations? Looking ahead, what developments are most promising for improving COPD and asthma outcomes over the next 5 years? Consent Note: By responding, you consent to being quoted in a Medscape article with attribution. Quotes may be lightly edited for clarity, style, and flow. Please disclose any potential conflicts of interest (such as financial relationships with relevant companies or organizations).
