iPadxtravaganza: The Great PNR iPad Collaborative Learning Project
The iPad, a tablet computer produced by Apple, in the few years since its introduction to the market in 2010 has become not only an incredibly popular device generally, but has also become established within the medical community. Providers use iPads for charting, to share information with patients and medical librarians use iPads while rounding with teams to perform literature searches. With this information in mind (not to mention the utility of carrying an iPad to conferences and meetings!) the NN/LM PNR would like to provide a cohort of network members with iPads to integrate the device into their professional work...

Unintended Consequences: Abortion Training in the Years After Roe v Wade.
Abstract
The US Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v Wade decision had clear implications for American women's reproductive rights and physician ability to carry out patient choices. Its effect on physician abortion training was less apparent. In an effort to increase patient access to abortions after Roe, provision shifted from hospitals to nonhospital clinics. However, these procedures and patients were taken out of the medical education realm, and physicians became vulnerable to intimidation. The consequent provider shortage created an unexpected barrier to abortion access. Medical Students for Choice was founded in 1993...

Why do adult dogs (Canis familiaris) commit the A-not-B search error?
It has been recently reported that adult domestic dogs, like human infants, tend to commit perseverative search errors; that is, they select the previously rewarded empty location in Piagetian A-not-B search task because of the experimenter’s ostensive communicative cues. There is, however, an ongoing debate over whether these findings reveal that dogs can use the human ostensive referential communication as a source of information or the phenomenon can be accounted for by “more simple” explanations like insufficient attention and learning based on local enhancement. In 2 experiments the authors systematically manipu...

Development of a residency program in radiation oncology physics: an inverse planning approach.
In this report, we identify and discuss the implementation of, and the essential components of, a radia-tion oncology physics residency designed to produce knowledgeable and effective clinical physicists for today's safety-conscious and collaborative work environment. Our approach is that of inverse planning, by now familiar to all radiation oncology physicists, in which objectives and constraints are identified prior to the design of the program. Our inverse planning objectives not only include those associated with traditional residencies (i.e., clinical physics knowledge and critical clinical skills), but also encompass...

Factors affecting quitting success in patients attending a smoking cessation program
Conclusions: In our smoking cessation program higher nicotine addiction and depression levels had a negative effect in smoking cessation success. These patients are likely to need more intensive and multidisciplinary support in order to succeed in their attempts to quit.

The dawn of consumer ‐directed testing
As the public's interest in genetics and genomics has increased, there has been corresponding and unprecedented growth in direct‐to‐consumer genetic testing (DTC‐GT). Although regulatory concerns have limited true DTC‐GT available without a physician order, the paradigm has shifted to a model of consumer‐directed genetic testing (CD‐GT) in which patients are researching testing options and requesting specific genetic testing from their health‐care providers. However, many nongenetics health‐care providers do not have the background, education, interest, or time to order and/or interpret typical clinical gen...

Description and Early Outcomes of a Comprehensive Curriculum Redesign at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
In 2012, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine launched a redesigned curriculum addressing the four primary recommendations in the 2010 Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching report on reforming medical education. This new curriculum provides a more standardized evaluation of students’ competency achievement through a robust portfolio review process coupled with standard evaluations of medical knowledge and clinical skills. It individualizes learning processes through curriculum flexibility, enabling students to take electives earlier and complete clerkships in their preferred order. The ne...

Documentation of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) in medically admitted patients in Connolly Hospital Dublin. Fiona ODriscoll, Shahzad Ahmed, Waheed Shah, Professor John Faul, Connolly Hospital Dublin, Dublin.
Conclusion: we hypothesize that patients don’t consider e cigarettes use as smoking. It’s important to have standardized documentation of e cigarettes to facilitate smoking cessation advice and discussions regarding potential health hazards and nicotine dependence. Good documentation in medical notes may help in surveillance and research into potential health hazards caused by electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)

The Messages Presented in Electronic Cigarette –Related Social Media Promotions and Discussion: Scoping Review
Conclusions: The social media landscape is dominated by pro-vaping messages disseminated by the vaping industry and vaping proponents. The uncertainty surrounding e-cigarette regulation expressed within the public health field appears not to be reflected in ongoing social media dialogues and highlights the need for public health professionals to interact with the public to actively influence social media conversations and create a more balanced discussion. With the vaping industry changing so rapidly, real-time monitoring and surveillance of how these devices are discussed, promoted, and used on social media is necessary i...

One Small Step for Step 1
Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a multiple-choice exam primarily measuring knowledge about foundational sciences and organ systems. The test was psychometrically designed as pass/fail for licensing boards to decide whether physician candidates meet minimum standards they deem necessary to obtain the medical licensure necessary to practice. With an increasing number of applicants to review, Step 1 scores are commonly used by residency program directors to screen applicants, even though the exam was not intended for this purpose. Elsewhere in this issue, Chen and colleagues describe the ...

The Need for Nationwide Electronic Cigarette Smoking Cessation Curricula Across the Healthcare Spectrum
Am J Pharm Educ. 2021 Nov;85(10):8212. doi: 10.5688/ajpe8212. Epub 2021 Mar 12.ABSTRACTUsing electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) has become a stepping stone for smokers in their cessation of tobacco use. Students within Doctor of Pharmacy and other health care programs have expressed varying responses as to how likely they are to recommend ENDS based on their knowledge of these devices. Because the amount of education on these products provided by PharmD programs varies, one study shows student pharmacists were less likely to recommend the use of ENDS to current cigarette smokers. This commentary suggests why some ...
