Recovery is the process of rebuilding your life after a period of illness, addiction, burnout, trauma, or major disruption. It’s not just about “getting back to normal.” It’s about creating a life that actually works for who you are now.
Objective: In the United States, few elementary schools offer puberty education, leaving teaching girls about puberty-related body changes and hygiene practices to other sources. When school-based puberty education programs are taught, they often are inconsistently implemented and occur too late to help prepare girls before menarche. Rigorous evaluation of puberty…
Objectives: Nonpowder firearms (NPFs) have become increasingly popular. We sought to analyze the epidemiology of NPF injuries. Methods: A search was conducted through the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System for data from 2012 to 2021 to analyze NPF-related injuries. Results: Between 2012 and 2022, the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System…
Objectives: Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is a popular natural-language processor that is able to analyze and respond to a variety of prompts, providing eloquent answers based on a collection of Internet data. ChatGPT has been considered an avenue for the education of resident physicians in the form of board…
Internal Medicine faculty at Saint Peter’s University Hospital received hands-on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training, provided by SMA, and that included a series of live demonstrations, case-based simulations, and didactic lectures.
In this podcast, Ms. Heather Martin and Drs. Darlene Traffanstedt and Sue Feldman discuss their external curricula content analysis used to help identify curriculum content for the Alabama Health Professions Opioid Education Project.
Objectives: Competency-based public communication skills are not systematically taught in most medical curricula, reflecting a gap between medical knowledge and holistic patient care as trainees transition into clinicians. We sought to investigate the efficacy of technology, entertainment, and design (TED) talks in postgraduate year (PGY) training programs. Methods: The authors…
Objectives: Radiology education is essential in medical school; however, developing an integrated and comprehensive curriculum remains a challenge. Many novel methods have been implemented with varying outcomes. In this study, the authors sought to examine published pedagogical methods of radiology instruction and query US academic faculty members on their current…
Objectives: The concept of “historical alternans” (HA), a teaching folklore term referring to different descriptions of patient histories to trainees versus attending clinicians, can cause disjointed care and be a source of frustration for the trainee. Increased focus on the proper evaluation and treatment of pain in the emergency department…
Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess parent acceptance of firearms education delivered by clinical providers, determine whether parents engage in firearms safety dialog with their children, and evaluate reasons for ownership and storage behaviors. Methods: The parents of children ages 0 to 18 years completed surveys while…
Objectives: The number of deaths from gun violence continues to increase in the United States. Despite multiple studies demonstrating that counseling patients leads to safer gun storage, it is not routinely practiced by physicians. There are multiple barriers to discussing firearms with patients. A barrier in Florida, until recently, was…
Objectives: Our hypothesis was that pediatric residents and medical students who participated in a structured forensic evidence collection course would have improved knowledge of prepubertal evidence collection practices and pubertal genital anatomy.Methods: The course curriculum included a forensic evidence collection video created by the sexual assault nurse examiner directors. After…
Objectives: Historically, physicians have always been viewed as leaders in the healthcare field. Whether they embrace this role, physicians often find themselves in a leadership role, from the clinical setting to an institutional setting. In most cases, this leadership role is taken on without prior training on even the most…
Objectives: The pressures for generating revenue from clinical activities dissuade clinician-educators from teaching; taking the steps to develop an educational value system is a way to recognize and perhaps support education. We compared the perceived educational value of diverse pedagogical activities during clinical training from students, residents, and faculty in…
Case-based learning is a staple of clinical ethics education in medicine. The sources for medical educators generally are lengthy case books or single, often rare, case analyses in the literature. Busy clinicians may not have the time or inclination to sift through case books to find suitable teaching material, and…
Objectives: Asthma affects 1 in 10 children in the United States, with higher prevalence among children living in poverty. Organizations in San Antonio, Texas, partnered to design and implement a uniform, citywide asthma action plan to improve asthma management capacity in schools. Methods: The asthma action plan template was modified…
Objectives: Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education guidelines require internal medicine residents to develop skills in the interpretation of medical literature and to understand the principles of research. A necessary component is the ability to understand the statistical methods used and their results, material that is not an in-depth focus…
Objectives: In July 2011 the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education implemented new resident duty-hour regulations in an effort to improve resident well-being, clinical performance, and patient care. These regulations have the potential, however, to reduce the number of new patient encounters handled by trainees and thereby could be detrimental…
Objectives: Residents of rural communities, especially in the Southeast, have decreased access to health care. Ensuring medical students receive adequate exposure to their issues is complicated by the urban location of most schools. We describe health fairs conducted in rural communities to suggest how having medical students use screening tools…
Abstract:This document discusses training for hospital and healthcare chaplains in the light of different UK standards applied by various interested parties. It considers the different standards and concludes that there is no single applied standard for training for National Health Service (NHS) hospital chaplains across the UK. Those models that…
