Departmental Metrics to Guide Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for Academic Family Medicine Departments
Fam Med. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.22454/FamMed.2024.865619. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPROBLEM: Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) efforts have accelerated over the past several years, without a traditional guidebook that other missions often have. To evaluate progress over time, departments of family medicine are seeking ways to measure their current EDI state. Across the specialty, unity regarding which EDI metrics are meaningful is absent, and discordance even exists about what should be measured.APPROACH: This paper provides a general metrics framework, including a wide array of possibilities to consider measuring, ...

Climate Change Curricula in Family Medicine Residency Programs: Program Directors' Perspectives From a CERA Survey
CONCLUSIONS: While climate change is an emerging topic affecting health and the provision of health care worldwide, our study suggests that many family medicine residency programs do not teach about it. Family medicine trainees may not always receive sufficient education about the risks posed to their patients by climate change, which could lead to them having limited knowledge and skills when discussing this topic with their patients in the future.PMID:38652853 | DOI:10.22454/FamMed.2024.548752 (Source: Famly Medicine)

Postresidency Practice Setting and Clinical Care Features According to 3 Versus 4 Years of Training in Family Medicine: A Length of Training Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS: Training length did not affect practice setting or practice features for graduates of LoTP programs. Future LoTP analyses will examine how length of training affects scope of practice and clinical preparedness, which may elucidate other elements associated with practice choice.PMID:38652847 | DOI:10.22454/FamMed.2024.699625 (Source: Famly Medicine)

Use of Signaling in Family Medicine Residency Interviewing
CONCLUSIONS: Signals may play an important role in the residency application process for family medicine in 2023-2024. While signals are not anticipated to decrease application workload or stress, a signal may be an important mechanism for a specific applicant to distinguish themselves with a program.PMID:38652846 | DOI:10.22454/FamMed.2024.678799 (Source: Famly Medicine)

Patient Experience With Resident Versus Staff Physicians: Results From a Cross-Sectional Patient Survey From Canadian Family Medicine Residencies
CONCLUSIONS: In our setting, patients who reported usually seeing resident physicians had worse continuity of care and timeliness for nonurgent care than patients who reported usually seeing staff physicians despite resident patients being older, sicker, and having a lower socioeconomic position. Postgraduate training programs need to test models to support access and continuity for resident patient panels.PMID:38652844 | DOI:10.22454/FamMed.2024.729822 (Source: Famly Medicine)

Effect of Menstrual Cycle Phase and Hormonal Contraceptives on Resting Metabolic Rate and Body Composition
Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab. 2024 Apr 23:1-11. doi: 10.1123/ijsnem.2023-0193. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe cyclical changes in sex hormones across the menstrual cycle (MC) are associated with various biological changes that may alter resting metabolic rate (RMR) and body composition estimates. Hormonal contraceptive (HC) use must also be considered given their impact on endogenous sex hormone concentrations and synchronous exogenous profiles. The purpose of this study was to determine if RMR and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry body composition estimates change across the MC and differ compared with HC users. This wa...

Survey of Ventilator Waveform Interpretation Among ICU Professionals
CONCLUSIONS: Slightly over half respondents correctly identified ≥ 60% of waveforms demonstrating patient-ventilator discordance. High performance was associated with ≥ 10 years of ICU working experience, RT profession, graduate degree, working in a teaching hospital, and prior ventilator waveforms training. Some discordances were poorly recognized across all groups of surveyed professionals.PMID:38653558 | DOI:10.4187/respcare.11677 (Source: Respiratory Care)
