This is kind of my little space here. And what I can say is probably the most challenging part of what I do now is not the medicine part, but the running a business part. So, that has been a little bit of a learning curve, but I am super proud of myself for figuring it out and having people around me to help me along the way. But just a little bit about what I do in more detail. I do have a primary care practice now, and the one thing that I felt like was missing from hospital’s medicine was the personal relationships. Not that I didn’t get to know my patients, but my patients now, some of them I’ve known for almost five years. And so we grow together, we celebrate together, we cry together, and it’s really like having So I do have a wonderful practice here. I see six years and up, so I do have some kiddos as well. But the other side of my practice, you saw some of my equipment, and that’s also a lot of fun. My Emsella chair strengthens the pelvic floor. The EXOMIND does transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain, which is phenomenal for depression and anxiety and sleep and brain fog and all those kind of things, a non-invasive way to treat that. I have the Emsculpt Neo for core strengthening and contouring. The EMFACE does the same thing for the face and I do a little bit of microneedling. So I’ve been able to broaden my horizons and not just practice medicine but also do some other fun things on the side. And it’s been quite a journey. I have to say that I’m doing exactly what I wanted to be doing. I had a very fulfilling career spending 13 years in the hospital. I learned so much. I took care of very challenging patients. I learned from specialists and I really enjoyed the excitement and the challenge of hospital medicine. But private practice has its own set of challenges. And I am constantly surprised at the complexity of the patients that I see in this type of setting as well. So it’s very different, but I do feel like my hospital foundation just makes me a better doctor here in the office. And I get to be on the preventative side. I say let’s be proactive instead of reactive. and I really love being here in Naples because it’s a very healthy population. Even though there are a lot of folks here that are retired, they’re very healthy. They’re conscious of just being well and enjoying their retirement. And so they come and they actually listen to what I say. And I have a very successful practice of very healthy patients. So I do love what I do. but I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the FSU College of Medicine. So thank you for everything. Thank you to my friends, my family, the staff, everybody who had a hand in this. It’s been an incredible journey.

I would like to welcome everybody here to the FSU College of Medicine real-life video. My name is Lorna Fedelem, and I will be taking you on a journey through four years of medical school from the students perspective.
Being in medical school is such an honor, and even being in the inaugural class at Florida State University is even more of an honor. So, it’s something that you have to get used to. But now that the fall semester has started, I feel a lot more at home. I’ve adjusted to being in medical school and realized that this is the place that I need to be.
So far, I’m enjoying it. It’s been a lot of fun. My 29 classmates are really wonderful, and we’ve gotten extremely close. I couldn’t ask for a greater set of classmates. We really push each other and lift each other up when we need it, and study together. I know I’ve made some lifelong friends already. I’ll just be reporting back periodically to update you on what it’s like to be in medical school.
Hello, FSU College of Medicine. This is Dr. Lorna, and welcome to my 20th reunion video diary update. I am sitting here in Naples, Florida, outside of my office, and I would love to tell you all a little bit about what’s happened over the last 20 years.
First of all, I would like to thank the College of Medicine and all of my classmates for the wonderful memories, for the amazing education. None of this would have been possible without your support, without your guidance, without your friendship, without your love.
First of all, I am family medicine board-certified, and I’m obesity medicine board-certified. I spent the first 10 years of my career in Tallahassee as a hospitalist at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. That’s where both of my children were born. I have two boys. They’re 12 and 14.
In 2017, I decided to move to Orlando to be a little closer to family in Naples. I practiced at OMC and managed a 16-bed critical care step-down unit there. After three years, I had some life changes that occurred that brought me back to Naples to be closer to my family, which has been absolutely amazing.
I decided to step out of hospital medicine and into private practice, and now I own my own practice. I’m a boss. I have two employees, and I have a successful primary care practice and do a little bit of aesthetics on the side.
I do love what I do, but I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the FSU College of Medicine. So thank you for everything. Thank you to my friends, my family, the staff, everybody who had a hand in this. It’s been an incredible journey.
