Quality Improvement Educational Practices in Pediatric Residency Programs: Survey of Pediatric Program Directors
Conclusions: QI curricular practices vary greatly across pediatric residency programs. Although pediatric residency programs commit a fair number of resources to QI education and believe that resident involvement in QI is important, fundamental QI topics are overlooked in many programs, and evaluation of existing curricula is limited. Success as perceived by pediatric program directors appears to be related to the inclusion of a QI project and the availability of faculty mentors.

According to the study protocol, the primary hypothesis of the research addresses the safety of patients: that mortality under the increased residents' duty hours will not significantly exceed patient mortality under the current mandated standard for medical residents on duty. I argued that the study design is unethical based on what is known about sleep deprivation. The study's goal -- seeing whether m...

Benefits of an Informal Curriculum: Recruiting Medical Students Into Interventional Radiology
Recruitment into interventional radiology (IR) has failed to keep pace with the demand for interventional procedures [1]. The approval of a dual certificate in IR and diagnostic radiology by the ABR in 2012 will require that medical students commit to a career in IR during their fourth year of medical school instead of during residency. Consequently, there is an urgent need to prioritize medical student exposure to IR in order to sustain the specialty.
