Healthcare provider and medical cannabis patient communication regarding referral and medication substitution: the Canadian context
CONCLUSION: Most of the surveyed Canadian medical cannabis patients considered their PCPs knowledgeable about cannabis and were confident in their PCPs' ability to integrate cannabis into treatment plans. However, many surveyed patients substituted cannabis for other medications without consulting their PCPs. These results suggest a lack of integration between mainstream healthcare and medical cannabis that may be improved through physician education and clinical experience.PMID:35698183 | PMC:PMC9195481 | DOI:10.1186/s42238-022-00141-0

Medical students who previously attended community college more likely to serve in poor communities
IMPACT
The community college system represents a potential source of student diversity for medical schools and physicians who will serve poor communities; however, there are significant challenges to enhancing the pipeline from community colleges to four-year universities to medical schools. The authors recommend that medical school and four-year university recruitment, outreach and admissions practices be more inclusive of community college students.
FINDINGS
Researchers from UCLA, UC San Francisco and San Jose City College found that, among students who apply to and attend medical school, those from underrepresented mino...

Nurses could help cut smoking rates in China, according to UCLA-led study
China has a big smoking problem. Three-hundred-fifty million Chinese people smoke and 1 million deaths a year in China are attributed to smoking-related illnesses. By 2050, smoking deaths are expected to triple to 3 million a year.
Smoking is such an accepted part of the culture that even 23 percent of physicians smoke. However, the smoking rate among the largely female population of nurses is very low, mirroring the general female population. Could nurses be the solution to getting Chinese smokers to quit?
In a two-part study, published online in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, an international team of investigators led ...

Leadership Mindset with an Emphasis in EMS, Part Three
Conclusion
“Half of what is taught in medical school is wrong, but nobody knows which half. –
Lucy Hornstein, MD.”15 The same could be said about leadership as well. Many leadership fads have been developed over time and may have had their place, but as times and trends change, so does leadership. As leaders in EMS, it’s crucial to adapt to the new generations of employees and identifying the best ways to work for and with them. The story of the blind men and the elephant is a good story to remember as leaders to say not all things that appear to be true necessarily are.

In smokers who lapse during nicotine patch treatment, continued patch use increases the likelihood of recovering abstinence
Commentary on Ferguson SG, Gitchell JG, Shiffman S. Continuing to wear nicotine patches after smoking lapses promotes recovery of abstinence. Addiction 2012;107:1349–53. Implications for practice and research Quitting smokers who use nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) are often advised to stop using this if they restart smoking; quitters often discontinue NRT after brief smoking lapses. Quitters who continue using NRT during brief lapses may be more likely to return to abstinence. Treating lapses with NRT probably encourages short-term cessation; research should investigate this further and test the impact on smokers...
