Hi. My name is Hannah Manem. I'm an assistant professor of medicine in the department of pulmonary and critical care medicine at UVA. And my really clinical niche and specialty that I have true passion for is lung transplant. I really love the field because it involves acute critical care needs combined with longitudinal care throughout the patient's life after their lung transplant, so you really get to develop a strong relationship with the patient over time. But they are also very complicated sick patients that you really can make a true, life changing experience for by giving them a lung transplant, and helping to guide them through that process is really something that I enjoy doing. When a new patient comes to lung transplant clinic, it's usually for a pre-evaluation, meaning they have some kind of underlying, endstage lung disease that may shorten their life or gives them a poor quality of life. And they come to see us in transplant clinic to assess whether they'd be a transplant candidate. So the first appointment is usually quite lengthy where we just get a full comprehensive story from them about their medical course. We learn a lot about their social needs, their mental health needs, and their medical needs all together. They also see a bunch of other specialists at the same time, including nutritionist, social work, physical therapy. We like to get an overall sense of the patient as a person and also a sense of their true medical condition and the severity of it. I really love working with people and I love combining the science and biology with the personalities and arts of medicine. That combination together is something that I think is special and I love to be a part of.
