Improving Response To Non-Traumatic Dental Pain In The Ed Through A Novel Task Trainer For Dental Blocks, Dylan Selbst, Alanna O'Connell, Tracy Brader Feb 2021

Improving Response To Non-Traumatic Dental Pain In The Ed Through A Novel Task Trainer For Dental Blocks, Dylan Selbst, Alanna O'Connell, Tracy Brader

Phase 1

Purpose:

Dental nerve blocks are a vital skill for physicians to have when treating non-traumatic dental pain; however, there is yet to be a simple, practical, and effective way to educate residents in performing this task. The purpose of this project is to explore the efficacy of a low-fidelity dental model task-trainer in teaching emergency medicine residents to perform dental blocks.

Methods:

In this study, 29 EM residents at TJUH were surveyed regarding their knowledge and attitudes regarding performing dental blocks using a brief Likert-scale questionnaire. Next, they were given 15 minutes to practice performing dental blocks on a low-fidelity …

Exploration And Confirmation Of The Latent Variable Structure Of The Jefferson Scale Of Empathy., Mohammadreza Hojat, Marianna Lanoue Apr 2014

Exploration And Confirmation Of The Latent Variable Structure Of The Jefferson Scale Of Empathy., Mohammadreza Hojat, Marianna Lanoue

Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Faculty Papers

OBJECTIVE: To reaffirm the underlying components of the JSE by using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and to confirm its latent variable structure by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

METHODS: Research participants included 2,612 medical students who entered Jefferson Medical College between 2002 and 2012. This sample was divided into two groups: Matriculants between 2002 and 2007 (n=1,380) and be-tween 2008 and 2012 (n=1,232). Data for 2002-2007 matriculants were subjected to EFA (principal component factor extraction), and data for matriculants of 2008-2012 were used for CFA (structural equation modeling, and root mean square error for approximation.

RESULTS: The EFA resulted in …


Assessments Of Empathy In Medical School Admissions: What Additional Evidence Is Needed?, Mohammadreza Hojat Jan 2014

Assessments Of Empathy In Medical School Admissions: What Additional Evidence Is Needed?, Mohammadreza Hojat

Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Faculty Papers

The Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME) sponsored a symposium on the theme of Examin-ing the Evidence with Regard to Character, Personality and Values in Medical School Selection which was held on October 14, 2013 at the University of Sheffield Medical School in the United Kingdom. I was invited to speak about credibility issues related to personality assessments in health profession educations. To my pleasant surprise, I found the European audience receptive (more than their counterparts in the United States) to the idea of using personality assess-ments in admission decisions. There seems to be a hesita-tion among leaders …

Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Faculty Papers

PURPOSE: This longitudinal study was designed to examine changes in medical students' empathy during medical school and to determine when the most significant changes occur.

METHOD: Four hundred fifty-six students who entered Jefferson Medical College in 2002 (n = 227) and 2004 (n = 229) completed the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy at five different times: at entry into medical school on orientation day and subsequently at the end of each academic year. Statistical analyses were performed for the entire cohort, as well as for the "matched" cohort (participants who identified themselves at all five test administrations) and the "unmatched" …
