The Impact Of Medication Therapy Management Services On Pediatric Patients With Medical Complexities, Charisma Osuagwu, Erica Wong, Savion Carswell, Sophia Jenkins, Xinyu Wang, Yujin Kim

Research Day

Introduction

Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a service provided by healthcare providers to ensure the best medical outcomes, particularly for those with multiple chronic conditions. It is often provided for senior populations supported under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Studies show that patients provided with MTM services have higher medication adherence rates and experience fewer complications. However, there are few studies on MTM counseling in pediatric populations. In this literature review study, we investigated the potential impact of MTM services for underserved pediatric populations with chronic conditions or disabilities who are likely to benefit from MTM services.

2000-2020 Nhis Studies: Factors Affecting Medication Adherence Rate In The Pediatric Population With Medical Complexity, Janice Tong, Savion Carswell, Erica Wong, Xinyu Wang, Yujin Kim

Research Day

Introduction

Children with medical complexity belong to a vulnerable patient population group that is defined by the interplay of chronic health conditions, high healthcare utilization, and severe limitations in cognitive and/or physical functioning. Members of this patient population often require a complex management and/or treatment regimen with the use of more than one medication. Pediatric nonadherence in medication can lead to increases in microbial resistance, adverse drug reactions, morbidity, and mortality. The consequences of this medication nonadherence may also cause slower recovery times, increased number of emergency department visits, and hospitalizations, which subsequently substantiates higher medical costs for families along …

Research Day

Introduction: Securing clinical training sites remains a challenge for medical educators who often resort to paying preceptors or searching for new clinical training sites which haven’t traditionally taken students. We describe a unique partnership between the Boy Scouts of America and PCOM, providing a clinical training opportunity for OMS4 students at PCOM: Outdoor Clinical rotation the Summit Bechtel Family National Boy Scout Reserve in rural West Virginia at the National Scout jamboree, serving 35,000 scouts.

Methods and Curricular Design: By the end of the rotation, each PCOM student was able to (1) provide urgent care for common outdoor injuries: …

Endovascular Intervention And Management Of Pediatric Mandibular Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report, Craig Schreiber, Hamza Shaikh

Research Day

Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible are a rare and potentially life threatening entity. Exsanguination from these lesions is a well documented event. Management of these lesions is unfortunately unclear and unstandardized due to their rare occurrence. Their presentation is wide and varied ranging from complaints of a loose tooth to acute hemorrhage and shock. Currently a multidisciplinary approach that typically involves input from oral maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS), otolaryngologists, and endovascular neurointerventionalists is required to manage these lesions. Often these lesions require both endovascular intervention and surgical resection. Due to the lesions high rate of recurrence and proximity to vital structures, …
