Faculty can also request that the Library purchase apps that might be useful for …

Designing Curriculum With The Affective Context Learning Theory: Using Stories To Explore Fact And Feeling In Geriatric Psychiatry, Wayles Haynes, Jeremy Miller, Christopher Abbott

HSC Education Days

Geriatric psychiatry requires physicians to treat psychiatrically, medically, and ethically complex patients while navigating limited resources, ageism, and complex emotions. The number of geriatric psychiatry fellows is declining while the target patient demographic grows. One proposal to address the mismatch is to provide residents with earlier, quality exposure to geriatric psychiatry. To shift perspectives and spark interest, curriculum was created using the affective context theory of learning and push pull learning design model targeting both cognitive and affective learning. This model addresses learner specific concerns, provides resources for motivated learners, and employs storytelling to create emotionally impactful experiences. The eight-class …

Empowering Student Wellness: Our Approach At The Health Sciences Library, Varina Kosovich, Kristin Proctor

HSC Education Days

Health sciences students experience mental health issues, demoralization, and burnout at greater rates compared to other students and often do not report these issues for fear of marginalization. Additionally, many neurodiverse students struggle in higher education due to environments that are not accessible. Considering these information points, authors surveyed space in the library to determine an appropriate area to create and pilot the Wellness Room. Funding was established through an internal grant and a study room was approved for use in the pilot. Resources were provided with autonomous space, feminist ethics of care, and trauma informed care tenets.

What's Right With You? Using Strength-Based Approaches To Empower Patients, Communities, And Learners, Luke Sanchez, Derek Lin, Anthony Fleg

HSC Education Days

A deficits model is the cornerstone for the health professions education, practice and scholarship. With a focus on diseases, deficits, addictions, social risk factors, this approach has a risk of disempowering patients, communities, and learners. A strength-based approach instead focuses on what people and communities do well – resources, skills, strengths, resilience, etc. – with intention of building upon these to improve health. Strength-based approaches are critical for decolonization and for undoing racism. This session, led by HSC students, presents a mixture of data and personal experience to elucidate the importance of strength-based approaches to health, with guidance on how …

Role Of Mentorship In Recruiting Community College Students Into Health Professions Programs, Annslee Lowe, Amy Clithero-Eridon, Cameron Crandall, Marlene P. Ballejos

HSC Education Days

BACKGROUND:

The social mission of health professional schools is generally to ensure a diverse cadre of providers is trained to care for populations, with particular attention paid to the delivery of primary care in underserved areas. Students who attend community college (CC) before matriculating to a health professional program typically bring diversity and concordance with local population demographics. However, CC students face more challenges than traditional students in obtaining proper resources and support to prepare for graduate programs, including mentorship. This study aimed to identify challenges faced by CC students, such as financial status, cultural backgrounds, and fear of medical …

Creation Of A Novel Near-Peer Mentorship Program For And By Combined Ba-Md Program Students, Corrina Klein, Alexus Trujillo, Samantha Dewees, Marlene Ballejos

HSC Education Days

Now more than ever, medical schools must strengthen the tools they provide for historically underrepresented students to foster a diverse physician workforce. Near-peer mentorship is a powerful tool that promotes resilience, reduces stress, increases academic accountability, and eases the transition into medical school, with students historically underrepresented in medicine benefiting most. We created a near-peer mentorship program matching matriculating first-year Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree (BA/MD) program students with rising second- and third-year BA/MD medical students. We surveyed students about their interests, goals, and backgrounds to create matches, and held a mentorship training outlining expectations for discussing sensitive topics, accountability, and relationship …

The Effectiveness Of Various Online Continuing Education Formats For Improving Knowledge Of Clinical Documentation, Sara L. Nottingham

HSC Education Days

Context: Clinical documentation is a professional responsibility of healthcare providers, including athletic trainers (ATs). Previous research has identified that ATs desire continuing education (CE) opportunities specific to documentation. We investigated the effectiveness of different online CE formats to improve ATs’ knowledge of clinical documentation.

Methods: We used a sequential explanatory mixed-methods randomized controlled trial design. After recruiting 18,981 practicing ATs, interested participants were randomly enrolled into a group: online personalized learning platform that included videos, presentations, case studies, documents, and knowledge checks (PLP, n=39), passive online reading list (PAS, n=44), or control without resources (CON, n=77)]. Baseline and follow-up knowledge …

Teaching What Matters: Addressing Social Determinants Of Health In Clinical Practice, N Marian Salas, Suman Pal

HSC Education Days

Social determinants of health (SD0H) account for 50-80% of healthcare outcomes. Despite this, many residents receive minimal training in how to address the negative social determinants of health in their patient populations. We developed a 1.5-hour workshop integrated into GME orientation for all the 167 incoming interns of our institution. We used case-based learning as a proven effective method for both improving knowledge gain and skills acquisition outcomes. Using the input of multiple subject matter experts, we developed four cases from different regions of the state that learners worked through in facilitated small groups supported by intermittent check-ins with the …

Internal Medicine Resident Outcomes After Initiation Of Block Scheduling, Annashia Shera, Michael Louie, Raymond G. Murphy

HSC Education Days

The height of the COVID pandemic took a considerable toll on all healthcare workers and heavily on resident physicians. The long work hours and subsequent effect on mental health required a change to the system not only for wellness but also education. This especially affected the quality of the resident outpatient experience due to the competing high demands of inpatient service. Feedback from residents propelled the decision to implement block scheduling at the University of New Mexico Internal Medicine Residency program in 2021. In this presentation, we share the outcomes of this change in terms of duty hours, wellness, and …

Comparison Of Vipassana Meditation With Other Mindfulness Traditions In The Response To Experimentally Induced Pain, Timothy Ian Vandiver

Psychology ETDs

This study compared various mindfulness meditators with a meditation-naïve control group on various measures of pain tolerance and response. My primary hypothesis was that meditators would show greater pain tolerance than non-meditators and that they would also show greater parasympathetic nervous system activation in response to experimentally induced pain. The results were mixed, with meditators showing no greater increase in pain tolerance post-baseline. Differences in nervous system function between the two groups were also difficult to interpret.

Another component of the study was to explore the phenomenological reports and to compare and contrast those of the meditators and non-meditators using …

A New Moment For Indian Water Rights Settlements, Max Clayton

Natural Resources Journal

Indian water rights settlements have been the primary mechanism to resolve water conflicts between tribal governments and state, municipal, and non-governmental parties. Although scholars have for decades roundly criticized settlements for their many shortcomings, this paper suggests that a combination of forces has altered the conditions for Indian water rights settlements. Settlement remains a difficult process, but a new moment for Indian water rights settlement may have arrived. This paper explains how political conditions have changed and makes a novel legal argument to supply a strategy for tribal governments to advance their bargaining position in settlement discussions.

Missing Middle Housing: Accelerating America’S Transition From Single-Family Zoning, Lena Zeebuyth, Mallory Moore

Natural Resources Journal

As housing unaffordability and climate change impose increasingly greater costs on American cities and towns, there is a growing sense that single-family residential zoning ordinances are partly to blame for these challenges. Many Americans remain unwilling to address these difficulties by welcoming large apartment buildings into their neighborhoods. Fortunately, policies designed to promote “middle housing” development––visually attractive duplexes and townhome projects––tend to be more politically feasible than policies that drive apartment development. Further, such policies do much to improve the affordability and environmental sustainability of residential neighborhoods. This Article describes how promoting greater middle housing development in the United States …

Distinct Interactions Stabilize Egfr Dimers And Higher-Order Oligomers In Cell Membranes, Krishna C. Mudumbi, Eric A. Burns, David J. Schodt, Zaritza O. Petrova, Anatoly Kiyatkin, Lucy W. Kim, Emma M. Mangiacapre, Irais Ortiz-Caraveo, Hector Rivera Ortiz, Chun Hu, Kumar D. Ashtekar, Keith A. Lidke, Diane S. Lidke, Mark A. Lemmon

Pathology Research and Scholarship

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase with important roles in many cellular processes as well as in cancer and other diseases. EGF binding promotes EGFR dimerization and autophosphorylation through interactions that are well understood structurally. How these dimers relate to higher-order EGFR oligomers seen in cell membranes, however, remains unclear. Here, we used single-particle tracking (SPT) and Förster resonance energy transfer imaging to examine how each domain of EGFR contributes to receptor oligomerization and the rate of receptor diffusion in the cell membrane. Although the extracellular region of EGFR is sufficient to drive receptor dimerization, …

Measuring Policy, Systems, And Environmental Changes At Elementary Schools Involved In Snap-Ed New Mexico Programming, 2018-2022, Camille Velarde, Erica Landrau-Cribbs, Mahtab Soleimani, Theresa H Cruz

Pediatrics Research and Scholarship

INTRODUCTION: In 2018, the New Mexico Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed NM) incorporated policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) strategies into the state plan to increase healthy eating and physical activity. Studies of multiple PSE strategies in elementary schools are lacking.

METHODS: We conducted assessments of physical activity and nutrition environments at 11 elementary schools in New Mexico before and after schools were given school-specific PSE recommendations and technical assistance. Baseline data were collected in 2018 by using the School Physical Activity and Nutrition Environment Tool (SPAN-ET), which measures policy, situational, and physical environments in elementary schools. PSE scores were calculated …
