Excellence in medical training: developing talent —not sorting it
AbstractMany medical schools have reconsidered or eliminated clerkship grades and honor society memberships. National testing organizations announced plans to eliminate numerical scoring for the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step  1 in favor of pass/fail results. These changes have led some faculty to wonder: “How will we recognize and reward excellence?” Excellence in undergraduate medical education has long been defined by high grades, top test scores, honor society memberships, and publication records. However, this model of learner excellence is misaligned with how students learn or what society valu...

Underprepared: influences of U.S. medical students' self-assessed confidence in immigrant and refugee health care
CONCLUSIONS: Most fourth-year U.S. medical students entering residency feel unprepared to deliver culturally sensitive care to immigrants and refugees. This may be mediated by increased exposure to didactic curricula class time and/or experiential clinical activities, as those factors are associated with improved student confidence.PMID:36594616 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2022.2161117

How Are the Arts and Humanities Used in Medical Education? Results of a Scoping Review
Conclusions This literature is characterized by brief, episodic installments, privileging a biomedical orientation and largely lacking a theoretical frame to weave the installments into a larger story that accumulates over time and across subfields. These findings should inform efforts to promote, integrate, and study uses of the arts and humanities in medical education.

An examination of the perceived impact of a continuing interprofessional education experience on opiate prescribing practices.
Authors: Cardarelli R, Elder W, Weatherford S, Roper KL, King D, Workman C, Stewart K, Kim C, Betz W Abstract Chronic pain is increasingly recognized as a public health problem. We assessed the effectiveness of a multi-modal, interprofessional educational approach aimed at empowering healthcare professionals to make deliberative changes, especially in opiate prescribing practices. Education activities included enduring webcasts, regional interprofessional roundtable events, and state-level conference presentations within targeted Kentucky and West Virginia regions of the United States. Over 1,000 participants acces...

The Medical Education Partnership Initiative: Strengthening Human Resources to End AIDS and Improve Health in Africa
Faced with a critical shortage of physicians in Africa, which hampered the efforts of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) was established in 2010 to increase the number of medical graduates, the quality of their education, and their retention in Africa. To summarize the accomplishments of the initiative, lessons learned, and remaining challenges, the authors conducted a narrative review of MEPI—from the perspectives of the U.S. government funding agencies and implementing agencies—by reviewing reports from grantee institutions and conductin...

Systemic Radiopharmaceutical Therapy of Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
Whereas benign pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are often successfully cured by surgical resection, treatment of metastatic disease can be challenging in terms of both disease control and symptom control. Fortunately, several options are available, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical debulking. Radiolabeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and somatostatin receptor imaging have laid the groundwork for use of these radiopharmaceuticals as theranostic agents. 131I-MIBG therapy of neuroendocrine tumors has a long history, and the recent approval of high-specific-activity 131I-MIBG for metastatic or inope...

Continuing Medical Education Pediatric Hypertension: An Update on the American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guidelines
Although it is well known that pediatric hypertension (HTN) may lead to early-onset cardiovascular disease, it is often underdiagnosed and treated (Writing Group Members et al., 2016). The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which tracks information on the health and nutritional status of adults and children, showed elevated blood pressure (BP) and HTN increased from 1988 to 2008 (Rosner et al., 2013). Previous United States (U.S.) guidelines were released in 2004, and updated clinical practice guidelines were issued in 2017 by the American Academy of Pediatrics (Flynn et al., 2017).

Scoping review of implementing a longitudinal curriculum in undergraduate medical education: The wake forest experience
ConclusionsThe results of the review and our institutional experience can help inform future educators interested in developing similar curricula in their undergraduate programs. Common standards, milestones and standardized competency-based assessments would be helpful in more widespread application of ultrasound in UGME curricula.

Patients and Guns: Florida Physicians Are Not Asking.
CONCLUSIONS: Faculty miss opportunities to prevent gun violence despite acknowledging that it is important to do so. More than 40% of the physicians who were surveyed do not counsel at-risk patients about gun safety, citing a lack of knowledge, a persisting belief that asking patients about guns in Florida is illegal, worry about negative patient reactions, and time limitations. Inaction persists despite increased awareness and activism by physicians regarding gun violence. A wider availability of continuing medical education opportunities to learn about firearms counseling should be considered. PMID: 31682739 [PubMed - in process]

Cultivating Agents of Change in Medical Students: Addressing the Overdose Epidemic in the United States Through Enhancing Knowledge of Multimodal Pain Medicine and Increasing Accessibility via Open-Access, Web-Based Medical Education and Technology
JMIR Med Educ. 2023 Jul 25;9:e46784. doi: 10.2196/46784.ABSTRACTMedical students of today will soon be physician leaders and teachers of tomorrow about important relevant topics including the overdose epidemic and its devastating impact on our society. In the United States, the overdose crisis, including drug opioid-related overdoses, the increasing prevalence of opioid use disorder along with the increasing number of patients with chronic pain are intensifying and call attention for nationwide action. A strong medical educational foundation of the understanding of the relationship between pain and substance use disorder, ...
