Review: liquid nicotine toxicity
2.5 out of 5 stars Liquid Nicotine Toxicity. Kim JW, Baum CR. Pediatr Emer Care 2015;31:517-524. Abstract This review of liquid nicotine toxicity is part of the continuing medical education series in Pediatric Emergency Care. While there are a few good clinical nuggets buried in this review, they are surrounded by so many distracting and unnecessary epidemiological facts that the whole paper — though relatively short — is a chore to read. In addition, some of the “facts” are wrong. For example:: A study found that the proportion of calls that poison control centers received regarding e-cigarettes and cigare...

Looking at Graduate Medical Education Through a Different Lens: A Health Care System’s Perspective
In the era of the accountable care organization, U.S. models of physician practice are shifting from the solo, independent practitioner to the physician who is part of a multispecialty group practice or is employed by a health care institution, and from paper-based small offices to practice settings that emphasize technology-enabled, team-based systems of care. In this light, Kaiser Permanente’s (KP’s) long experience as an integrated, population-based health care delivery system makes it an increasingly relevant model in which to consider how graduate medical education (GME) can best prepare physicians for 21st-centur...

Imperfect practice makes perfect: error management training improves transfer of learning
