Team-Based Learning Module for Undergraduate Medical Education: a Module Focused on the Human Papilloma Virus to Increase Willingness to Vaccinate
AbstractHuman papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination rates lag behind other vaccines, primarily because of weak provider recommendations, and are associated with nearly 30,000 new cancer diagnoses a year. Educating medical students about HPV using active, team-centered learning may increase assimilation of information and may increase vaccination rates. A team-based learning (TBL) module focused on HPV for first-year medical students about HPV will better increase knowledge and likeliness to vaccinate than traditional education methods. Baseline HPV knowledge in medical students across Texas was assessed by surveying all 4-year...

Project ECHO for Cancer Care: a Scoping Review of Provider Outcome Evaluations
AbstractThe Project ECHO model of telementoring has been used for the past 10  years to expand access to specialized cancer care. This scoping review identifies evidence for the model’s ability to improve provider outcomes, synthesizing findings from existing studies within Moore et al.’s (2009) framework for continuing medical education outcomes. We search two large res earch databases and a collection maintained by Project ECHO staff for articles that focus on cancer ECHO programs, involve primary data collection, and were published between December 1, 2016, and November 30, 2021. We identified 25 articles for inclu...

Comparison of quality metrics in an education-centered medical home with local and national benchmarks
Med Educ Online. 2022 Dec;27(1):2073806. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2022.2073806.ABSTRACTThe Education-Centered Medical Home (ECMH) is a longitudinal clerkship where students provide care to patients at one clinic site for the entirety of medical school. Studies have demonstrated that ECMHs have higher completion rates of preventative measures than traditional student-run free clinics (SRFCs). However, data comparing ECMHs with licensed primary care provider clinics are limited. We performed a prospective chart review that examined vaccination and cancer screening rates of patients in an ECMH and those seen by primary care phys...

Impact of medical education on knowledge and attitudes regarding the human papilloma virus and vaccination: Comparison before and 6 years after the introduction of the vaccines.
CONCLUSION: The facts that vaccination programs are regarded as being important, and that knowledge on HPV increased, do not automatically result in an increase in participation in HPV vaccination programs. To increase participation, information must be provided with arguments that cannot be misinterpreted. PMID: 24161571 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cuba Has Made At Least 3 Major Medical Innovations That We Need
By most measures, the United States' business-friendly environment has proven to be fertile for medical innovation. Compared to other countries, America has filed the most patents in the life sciences, is conducting most of the world's clinical trials and has published the most biomedical research. That's what makes the medical prominence of Cuba all the more surprising to those who view a free market as an essential driver of scientific discovery. Cuba is very poor, and yet the country has some of the healthiest, most long-lived residents in the world -- as well as a medical invention or two that could run circl...

Human papillomavirus vaccine trials and tribulations
Human papillomavirus (HPV) affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is associated with both benign and malignant neoplasms in men and women. It is a double-stranded DNA virus with an icosahedral capsid. Forty HPV types are known to infect mucosal keratinocytes. If not cured by the immune system, the infection can lead to genital warts, mucosal dysplasia, or cancer. The most common oncogenic types are 16 and 18. The vaccine to prevent HPV and its associated morbidity and mortality has existed since 2006.

Dermatologic care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons face important health issues relevant to dermatologists. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at higher risk of certain infectious diseases, including HIV, syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, and invasive meningococcal disease, and might be at higher risk of non-infectious conditions, including skin cancer. Recommendations for preventive health care, including screening for HIV and other STDs, sexual health-related vaccinations, and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, differ for MSM compared with non-MSM.

Abstract A52: An evaluation of the "Con Amor Aprendemos" cervical cancer education intervention for Latino couples in El Salvador
This study highlights results of the adaptation and implementation of the "Con Amor Aprendemos" (CAA) education intervention in El Salvador, illustrating how the CAA program effectively increased participants' knowledge and modified behavior.Cervical cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rates of all cancers affecting Salvadoran women. The associated morbidity and mortality is disconcerting since the majority of cervical cancer cases could be prevented through an organized screening program and use of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Educational interventions targeting community leaders, women, and their ma...

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Education and Knowledge Among Medical and Dental Trainees
The objectives of this study were to (1) assess medical and dental trainees’ baseline knowledge regarding HPV and HPV vaccine, (2) determine the willingness to recommend the HPV vaccine to patients, and (3) evaluate the i mpact of an online intervention on HPV-related knowledge. Medical and dental trainees from two large academic centers in the USA were asked to fill out an online pre-intervention questionnaire, followed by a 10-min HPV educational intervention based on the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (C DC) resources, and then a post-intervention questionnaire. There were 75 participants (67.4% females; med...

Recommendations for cervical cancer prevention and control in Ghana: public education and human papillomavirus vaccination.
Authors: Nartey Y, Hill P, Amo-Antwi K, Asmah R, Nyarko K, Yarney J, Damale N, Cox B Abstract Globally, cervical cancer is a major public health issue causing increasing morbidity and mortality especially in low- and middle-income countries where preventive and control measures are lacking. In Ghana, it is the most common cancer among women. Approaches to reduce the incidence and mortality of the disease in Ghana have had little success due to lack of accurate data on the disease among other factors, to inform policies on prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, the lack of clear commitme...

Effect of Education on Awareness, Knowledge, and Willingness to Be Vaccinated in Females of Western India
AbstractCervical Cancer is the second most leading cause of death among Indian women. Infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the major causes of cervical cancer. Two prophylactic HPV vaccines approved and recommended for adolescents and young women in India. However, due to lack of appropriate knowledge, education, resources, and proper communication, these tools have little impact on disease burden. It is important to understand attitude, knowledge, and beliefs of females about HPV, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccine. Hence, the present study aimed to check awareness, educate females about cervical cancer and HPV...
