Welcome to the Ja nua r y issue of MD News. I hope•you had a fantastic holiday season and a great start to•the new year. We pride ourselves on shar- ing the•most•inspiring and informational stories that highlight the good work being done in our local healthcare community. This issue o-ers an overview of innovative treat- ments and techniques as well as research advances, local industry updates and upcoming events. Advances in medicine are happening every day, and this month's cover story is another example of why Minnesota health care is second to none. We spoke with physicians with Children's Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota and the Midwest Fetal Care Center about new collaborative treatments of advanced prenatal health concerns being provided through the Open Fetal Surgery program. Read more about the primary goals of open fetal surgery, what type of patients could benefit from it, and why it is so important to have this option available locally. Also in this issue, we speak with Laurie Drill-Mellum, MD, MPH, Chief Medical O‹cer at MMIC, about understanding and preventing physician burnout. A high percentage of physicians reach the point of burnout — a state of career exhaustion that e-ects productivity and patient care. Dr. Drill-Mellum articulates the details of this issue, what is being done and what we can do to help physicians. I think you'll appreciate the great, practical information on a real issue a-ecting many of you. Here is a preview of some of the subjects that we will be covering in upcoming editions. Give us a call to be involved. February: Cardiology March: Mental Health April: Men's Health May: Women's Health June: Neurology July: Radiology Tha n ks for reading in 2016. I look for wa rd to hea ring from you in 2017! Troy Anderson
