Do residents need end-of-life care training?
This study explores the association between physician knowledge, training status, and level of comfort with hospice care referral of terminally ill patients. Method: In 2011, anonymous surveys were distributed to physicians in postgraduate years 1, 2, and 3; fellows; hospital attending physicians; specialists; and other healthcare professionals in five hospitals of a large health system in New York. Demographic comparisons were performed using χ2 and Fisher's exact tests. Spearman correlations were calculated to determine if professional status and experience were associated with comfort and knowledge discussing end-of-li...

Confronting Scandalous Physician Behavior: The Annals Of Internal Medicine Takes The First Step
This post first appeared on Better Health. If you have not read the latest essay and editorial about scandalous physician behavior published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (AIM), you must do so now. They describe horrific racist and sexist remarks made about patients by senior male physicians in front of their young peers. The physicians-in-training are scarred by the experience, partially because the behavior itself was so disgusting, but also because they felt powerless to stop it. It is important for the medical community to come together over the sad reality that there are still some physicians and surgeons out the...

Addressing the primary care workforce crisis.
Abstract Our nation's primary care system is in crisis. As medical homes and accountable care organizations increasingly rely on a strong primary care workforce, the shortage of primary care physicians now calls for more policy attention and urgency. In the spirit of the 2014 Institute of Medicine recommendations on graduate medical education (GME) funding, we propose that CMS explicitly reward teaching hospitals if a certain share of their graduates (we propose 30%) remain in primary care 3 years after residency, either through additional payments or release of a withhold. Such a policy could allow hospitals to r...

Team-based care: an expanded medical assistant role - enhanced rooming and visit assistance.
Authors: Harper PG, Van Riper K, Ramer T, Slattengren A, Adam P, Smithson A, Wicks C, Martin C, Wootten M, Carlson S, Miller E, Fallert C Abstract Primary care practices face significant challenges as they pursue the Quadruple Aim. Redistributing care across the interprofessional primary care team by expanding the role of the medical assistant (MA) is a potential strategy to address these challenges. Two sequential, linked processes to expand the role of the MA, called Enhanced Rooming and Visit Assistance, were implemented in four family medicine residency clinics in Minnesota. In Enhanced Rooming, MAs addressed p...

Knowledge and Self-Efficacy Assessment of Residents and Fellows Following Palliative Care Unit Rotation: A Pilot Study.
CONCLUSION:: An improved PCK and PCSE were observed in physicians who rotated through an SPC unit; this resulted in an increased tangibility of local palliative care and hospice services. The questionnaire was comprehensible, relevant in terms of content, and adequate in length for a prospective multicenter survey. PMID: 30621437 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Meet the Academic Medicine Editorial Board: What experience has had the biggest impact on your career?
We asked the members of the Academic Medicine editorial board about the experience that has had the biggest impact on their career. This is what they said. Colin P. West, MD, PhD, Mayo Clinic I don’t know that I can pick out one single experience. Instead, I think the general principle that has served me well is to ensure that every project I work on offers intentional value: I am passionate about it directly, or it is a conduit to other projects I care about deeply, or I will gain a new skill set by participating. John P. Sánchez, MD, MPH, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School The one experience that had the biggest impac...

Improving Pathways to Eliminate Underrepresentation in the Pediatric Surgery Workforce: A Call to Action
Despite progress, diversity and minority representation within the pediatric surgery workforce still does not match the expansive backgrounds of the patients we treat. The problem stems from underrepresentation of minority populations at every step along the pediatric surgery training pathway. Strategies aimed at improving diversity and representation in medical school, general surgery residencies, and ultimately pediatric surgery fellowship are necessary to assemble a more diverse pool of pediatric surgeons.

Improving training in pediatric otolaryngology: Simulating airway surgery
The successful management of a pediatric airway case in the operating room (OR) relies on many qualities of the intervening team members. The ENT specialist should have medical knowledge and the ability to grasp the clinical picture, psychomotor dexterity for the manipulation of the instruments and familiarity with the assembly of the equipment, as well as team working and leadership aptitudes. The anesthetist has to deal with a non secured and often problematic airway, that is being manipulated. The nurse can be required to quickly assemble and provide composite instruments. Acquiring that expertise during residency has s...

A Family Medicine Residency Programs Response to an Impending COVID-19 Surge
The University of Colorado family medicine residency watched along with the rest of the nation as the first cases of COVID-19 were being reported in the United States in March 2020. Concern grew as epidemiological models began to predict alarming hospital bed shortages for the state. Massive scheduling adjustments were needed as faculty and residents found themselves in groups at high risk for severe COVID-19 and residents found themselves dismissed from nonessential learning experiences in an effort to conserve personal protective equipment and limit exposures. A dedicated surge team was formed to tackle these issues whil...

As a physician, I have chosen a company that truly values compassionate care
Medical students typically experience extended hours and stressful working conditions during their residency, but when you have a passion to help patients that doesn ’t matter. This was true for me. I always wanted to be a physician and knew that primary care was an area I could make an impact. However, when I learned about CenterWell Senior Primary Care I was intrigued by the care team approach and how this can benefit patients while providing physicians with a work-life balance. At CenterWell,…

Development of an International Elective in an Emergency Medicine Residency
There is a continued interest in global emergency medicine (EM) training, research, and clinical program development. There are many opportunities for “voluntourism” in medicine, but many of these experiences do not have standard goals and objectives.
