Dr. Robert Schrier Delivers Inaugural
Barry M. Brenner Lecture
By Susan Holman
In December Your Medicine Online featured an interview with Dr. Barry Brenner, one of the world’s leading nephrologists, former Chief of Nephrology at BWH, and loyal Porsche owner. In April, the BWH Renal Division established the Barry M. Brenner Lectureship, which Dr. Joseph Bonventre, Brenner’s successor as Chief of Nephrology, lauded as “a celebration of Barry’s achievement and accomplishments.” As the Brenner Lecture inaugural speaker, the Department of Medicine was delighted to welcome another world-renowned nephrologist, Dr. Robert Schrier, Professor and former Chair of Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Schrier joins other notables in the Medical Grand Rounds series on “Leaders in American Medicine,” Drs. Eugene Braunwald, Jeffrey Drazen, Howard Hiatt, David Nathan, Samuel Thier and Elliot Kieff. Read More |

Great Teachers in Our Midst
Showing Stories: An Interview with Dr. Barbara Gottlieb |
Who are the great teachers in our midst and what makes them so exceptional? Your Medicine Online continues its series exploring the lives of some of the Department of Medicine’s greatest and most influential teachers. This month we focus on Barbara Gottlieb, MD, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Staff Physician at Brookside Community Health Center in Jamaica Plain.
“Doctors always show slides, but I always show stories.”
This is how Dr. Barbara “Bobbie” Gottlieb, a primary care physician and former Medical Director at the Brookside Community Health Center in Jamaica Plain, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, describes her teaching style. Indeed, Dr. Gottlieb has many stories to tell. Since 1981, when she chose to live in the predominantly Latino and Caribbean community near those she serves, Dr. Gottlieb’s patients are also her neighbors. Unlike most doctors, she sees them all the time: on her daily jogs, at the grocery store and sometimes at her favorite place to get ice cream—the original JP Licks. And this vision for true community-based medicine bubbles over in her teaching. “No matter what I’m talking about, there is a story; it brings a bit of my reality and also a little bit of my commitment and enthusiasm. Being in the community so long, I have taken care of two to three generations of patients. Extended family and those who know each other from their countries of origin meet in our waiting room. My 24-year experience is unique and powerful. There are things that I’ve learned that others can learn from.”
Those who have learned from Dr. Gottlieb include her co-teachers. Nancy Kahn, M.D., Clinical Instructor in Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School who teaches the Patient-Doctor 1 course for first year Harvard medical students with Dr. Gottlieb, considers Dr. Gottlieb a compassionate and committed physician who is also a brilliant teacher, mentor and role model: “We first met when Bobbie was the Medical Director at Brookside. It didn’t take long for me to realize that she was the type of role model many female physicians need. She was a successful woman, dedicated to her family and committed to serving the under-privileged. She is engaging, and her mission to live and serve in the community is absolutely contagious. I came to Brookside only because of her, and I probably continue to stay here because of her. I think she is one of the great thinkers at Brookside and the source of much inspiration for the internists and pediatricians to keep standards of care at their highest. We look up to her as a role model, to set the tone of what’s to be expected of a physician, educator and a mother.”
And Melissa Coleman, a first year medical student at Harvard Medical School who is one of Dr. Gottlieb’s Patient-Doctor 1 students, admires Dr. Gottlieb for her patience. “She waits for everyone to give their contribution before she steps in to offer her insight. It’s amazing to learn from someone who has so many years of experience and is able to communicate effectively on a student level. I attribute this to her unique ability to understand how it feels to be starting out as a first year student.” Melissa, too, points to Dr. Gottlieb’s stories: “She is always sharing stories about being in the community and building relationships with patients. It shows that she cares deeply for her patients’ health, their lives, families, jobs, cultures and the community in which they live. I am always impressed by how open and comfortable she is with her patients and how much they trust her.”
In a recent visit to the Brookside Community Health Center, Your Medicine Online observed Dr. Gottlieb in her element. She has a soft and quiet demeanor that makes her easily approachable. Throughout the interview, she enthusiastically expresses her passion for the community, dedication to providing her patients with the same excellent care as they would receive at any large medical institution, and her lifelong commitment to digging roots and building relationships.
