Rural Model Dedicated Education Unit: Partnership Between College and Hospital.
This article describes the pilot project development of a rural model Dedicated Education Unit (DEU) by a rural college nursing program and a rural hospital to increase student nurses' confidence and proficiency and improve recruitment of prepared rural staff nurses. Traditionally, for economies of scale, most student clinical rotations occurred in urban settings with the number of students per clinical instructor allowed by the state board of nursing. College budget constraints negated the placement of fewer than this mandated maximum number of students in a rural hospital with a clinical instructor; moreover, rural hospi...

Prescribe to Prevent: Overdose Prevention and Naloxone Rescue Kits for Prescribers and Pharmacists
In March of 2015, the United States Department of Health and Human Services identified 3 priority areas to reduce opioid use disorders and overdose, which are as follows: opioid-prescribing practices; expanded use and distribution of naloxone; and expansion of medication-assisted treatment. In this narrative review of overdose prevention and the role of prescribers and pharmacists in distributing naloxone, we address these priority areas and present a clinical scenario within the review involving a pharmacist, a patient with chronic pain and anxiety, and a primary care physician. We also discuss current laws related to nal...

Bipolar Risk Calculator Developed for At-Risk Youth
In a studypublished last week inJAMA Psychiatry, researchers reported the development of a calculator to predict the onset of a bipolar spectrum disorder (BPSD) in at-risk youth.BPSD was defined underDSM-IV criteria as bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymic disorder, or bipolar not otherwise specified.The BPSD risk calculator was found to be approximately 76% accurate, which is on par with a recently developed risk calculator fornew-onset psychosis as well as risk calculators used in other areas of medicine.“We recognize that replication of these findings is warranted before the risk calculator can be confidently used for cl...

Looking Back to Move Forward: First-Year Medical Students’ Meta-Reflections on Their Narrative Portfolio Writings
This article focuses on the rationale, content, and early analysis of the reflective space created by the narrative medicine-centered portfolio at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. In January 2015, the authors investigated learning outcomes derived from students’ “Signature Reflections,” end-of-semester meta-reflections on their previous portfolio work. The authors analyzed the Signature Reflections of 97 (of 132) first-year medical students using a constant comparative process. This iterative approach allowed researchers to identify themes within students’ writings and interpret t...

Technological advances for the detection of melanoma
Managing the balance between accurately identifying early stage melanomas while avoiding obtaining biopsy specimens of benign lesions (ie, overbiopsy) is the major challenge of melanoma detection. Decision making can be especially difficult in patients with extensive atypical nevi. Recognizing that the primary screening modality for melanoma is subjective examination, studies have shown a tendency toward overbiopsy. Even low-risk routine surgical procedures are associated with morbidity, mounting health care costs, and patient anxiety.

To assess dermatologists ’ awareness of and screening practices for rosacea comorbidities, we developed a survey that was distributed to attendings and residents across four academic dermatology departments in Massachusetts. A total of 73 dermatologists with varying experience participated in the study. Findings demonstra ted significant knowledge and practice gaps among academic ...

The Effect of COVID-19 on Education
Pediatr Clin North Am. 2021 Oct;68(5):1071-1079. doi: 10.1016/j.pcl.2021.05.009. Epub 2021 May 19.ABSTRACTCOVID-19 has changed education for learners of all ages. Preliminary data project educational losses at many levels and verify the increased anxiety and depression associated with the changes, but there are not yet data on long-term outcomes. Guidance from oversight organizations regarding the safety and efficacy of new delivery modalities for education have been quickly forged. It is no surprise that the socioeconomic gaps and gaps for special learners have widened. The medical profession and other professions that te...
