This year, she is advising six pediatric residents on their academic progress and mentoring other residents on the administrative aspects of research.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, she serves on the university\u2019s admissions committee, wellness committee and committees for women and minorities as well as a committee overseeing the annual San Antonio Express-News Book and Author Luncheon which benefits the Phase I Clinical Research Program at the Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center.<\/p>\n<p>Admitting to having a \u201cheart for service,\u201d Dr. Tom joined fellow UT Health physicians on a global health trip in November with Peru Mission, a non-governmental agency, to Peru where she helped set up clinics for community health screenings. Earlier this year, Dr. Tom traveled with the university\u2019s Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics to Ethiopia to treat 200 school children and a women\u2019s literacy group suffering from skin conditions. Last year, she travelled to Vietnam with the Southeast Asia Pediatric Hematology\/Oncology Group to teach physicians how to provide pain management and sedation to children undergoing cancer therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Back home, she periodically volunteers at a migrant resource center. \u201cEven if it\u2019s two hours a month, I like to give back in some way,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>How can she do all this in a mere 24 hours a day? Dr. Tom subscribes to a philosophy of time management and work-life balance but quickly adds that learning to be intentional about time wasn\u2019t automatic. With a husband and two small children, early in her career she experienced what she describes as a feeling of drowning, explaining that her \u201clife was a disaster. I could never keep up with anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then she attended a conference for hospitalists with a session on time management. \u201cIt spoke to me,\u201d she says, afterward diving headlong into books, videos and online tutorials to discover tools and tips for taking control of her days. Now, she leads seminars for staff, faculty and students and speaks at conferences about her methods. \u201cYou identify what your life would look like if there were balance. It\u2019s different for everybody. You recognize the people and the commitments we have in our daily lives make up who we are, but they also make up our time,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1700\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1700\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1700\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/12\/Future2019_Heart_Service_image2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Dina Tom (center), associate director of pediatric selectives\/electives, teaches fourth-year medical students Zach Coates (left) and Amanda Wedelich who are preparing to apply for pediatric residencies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A book about time management is in the works\u2013when she has time. Dr. Tom also is moving into a pediatric advocacy role, particularly about the need for childhood vaccines. Also when time permits, she hopes to return to earlier research about shared decision making between physicians and patients regarding medical options and care for a patient or a child.<\/p>\n<p>A first-generation college graduate, Dr. Tom always thought she would be a teacher and is happy to educate students and patients. As busy as she is, she does not hesitate to share her time, citing two role models, Joe and Teresa Long. In 2006, the couple selected her as a Long Presidential Scholar to fully fund her medical education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was very blessed to be chosen,\u201d Dr. Tom says. \u201cIt was a full scholarship for all of medical school. My husband and I had just gotten married, and we say it was our wedding present.\u201d She has lunch annually with the Longs, whom she calls \u201cincredible people\u201d who view the Long Scholars as their children. \u201cI think about them all the time. The campus and medical school are named after them, and they always preached paying it forward. They put a lot of faith into the Long Scholars and believe we will go out and make a difference,\u201d Dr. Tom says.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if she\u2019s making a difference, Dr. Tom answers, \u201cI do in small ways.\u201d She credits her nine colleagues in the Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine with making a difference. \u201cWe model every day what it should be like to be a doctor to a patient, whether they are uninsured or the patient is confused or scared. Not every medical student (in a pediatric rotation) will become a pediatrician, but they see us get down on our knees and look our patients in the eye and hold their hand when they are scared. We are creating compassionate physicians. I can\u2019t imagine another job that I would love as much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dina Tom, M.D. Class of 2010, teaches medical students, cares for pediatric patients, and volunteers locally and abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":1701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,11],"magazine":[22],"issue-year":[44],"featured-story":[],"class_list":["post-1628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","category-patient-care","magazine-future","issue-year-44"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
