Continuous Education For Prite A “For Residents”, “By Residents” Approach, David Andrade, Dominique Price

HSC Education Days

The Psychiatry Resident-In-Training Examination (PRITE®) is an annual examination designed as a point of reference to track competency for psychiatric residents and training programs. PRITE® scores have historically shown significant correlation with board results, however the preparation for PRITE® has become increasingly problematic. Due to limitations of didactic time and faculty as well as escalating clinical responsibilities for residents, exam preparation has been de-prioritized and disorganized. Self- study blocks led to suboptimal review lacking in structure with unclear goals and inadequate follow up. Residents wanted relevant, accessible, and continuous preparation for the PRITE®. In the winter of 2021, “Continuous education …

Heterogeneous Grouping And Reciprocal Peer Teaching In Anatomy Medical Education, Julia A. Jordon, Rebecca S. Hartley

HSC Education Days

To improve student performance in anatomy, we introduced two teaching interventions: competence-based heterogeneous (CBH) group formation and reciprocal peer teaching (RPT) to two successive medical school cohorts. Independently, CBH and RPT elevate outcomes of lower-performing students without negatively impacting higher-performing students (Donovan, 2018 & Pizzimenti, 2016). Clinical Morphology is a classroom and lab-based active-learning block designed around small groups that were historically formed by random assignment. In this study, entering medical students were administered a pre-quiz to stratify them into quartiles, after which CBH groups of six to eight students were formed. Groups were divided into two to four lab …

HSC Education Days

The LGBT community experiences unique health needs that many healthcare providers do not possess adequate training to address. This critical barrier to promoting the health of the LGBT population contributes to health disparities and discrimination, especially the transgender population who experience high rates of discrimination and difficulty accessing gender affirming care. This session will address strategies for creating and implementing curricula that addresses LGBT specific health needs.

Development Of Clinical Pharmacy Rotation In Japan, Mikiko Takeda, Tracy Hunter, Joe Anderson, Barry Bleske, Donald Godwin

HSC Education Days

The International clinical pharmacy rotation as a part of Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) courses is designed to provide pharmacy students experience, knowledge, and skills in several healthcare settings in Nagasaki, Japan. Nagasaki is located in the southern part of Japan and is known as its unique history, including the nuclear attack during the World War II with the bomb that was created and tested in New Mexico. Although Nagasaki is surrounded by the ocean and New Mexico is in the high desert, the two areas share a similar problem with limited access to healthcare in rural areas. Pharmacists have …

In doing so, we delved into understanding key events in the history of United States disability policy and started a discussion on implementable solutions to these barriers with engagement from a panel of individuals living with disabilities. Methods: We developed a series of four mandatory 1-hour lectures for our physical medicine and rehabilitation residents (PM&R), which included traditional lectures, discussions, and a panel of people with disabilities. The …

The Influence Of Institutional Trust On The Academic Decisions Of Medical Students, Payton Sandoval-Belt, Hannah Howse, Promise Bood, Patrick Rendon, Tom Markle

HSC Education Days

Intro Have you ever been disappointed after reading an end-of-course evaluation? Teachers put forth substantial effort but learners are disappointed with the course. What can explain this paradox? We surmised that trust affected learner perceptions of courses at the UNM School of Medicine. We investigated students’ perceptions of trust, and how that trust shapes their interactions with the curriculum. Background Research into medical education trust dynamics focuses on the instructor’s trust in the students to gradually perform tasks in the workplace. Yet, no relationship is unilateral in nature; therefore, we must also infer that a student develops a certain level …

The Serial Effect, Kat Albrecht, Kaitlyn Filip

New Mexico Law Review

The “CSI Effect” theorizes that criminal juries can be unduly influenced by fictional crime dramas such that they demand a higher standard of forensic evidence than is available, or even possible to provide, in most criminal cases. The CSI Effect has a strong presence in the courtroom despite its narrow focus on forensic evidence and basis in fiction. This article explores a new media-induced effect that may prove to affect American juries even more insidiously: The Serial Effect. This article explores the rise of true crime podcasts and the legal cases featured within them through focus on Syed v. Maryland …

Independent Analysis And Interpretation Of The New Mexico Constitution: If Not Now, When?, The Honorable Linda M. Vanzi, Mark T. Baker

New Mexico Law Review

This article posits that the mode of analysis of state constitutional issues adopted by the New Mexico Supreme Court in State v. Gomez, as it has been applied in the civil context, has neither “promote[d] the development of a sound body of state constitutional jurisprudence” nor led to “consistent, predictable, and reasonable state court decision-making,” as some envisioned in 1998. Instead, it has often led to essentially automatic deference to federal precedent interpreting comparable provisions of the Federal Constitution and very limited, if any, consideration of protections afforded under our state constitution. In addition, the inconsistent application of the Gomez …

New Mexico’S Public Trust Is Ineffective: However, There Is Hope And This Excites You., Cody Barnes

New Mexico Law Review

Every state has a public trust doctrine that protects commonly owned natural resources. Under the doctrine, the state has a fiduciary duty to maintain the resources and ensure the public can use them. Generally, if the state breaches its fiduciary duty, the public can sue. Yet, New Mexico has trust issues. In Sanders-Reed v. Martinez, the New Mexico Court of Appeals expanded the resources within New Mexico’s public trust but made it inept in the same breath. The court extended the trust to encompass air, water, and all other natural resources. However, it then severely limited the state’s protection of …

Negligent Commercial Transactions: Does New Mexico Face A Slippery Slope After Morris?, Annika Cleveland

New Mexico Law Review

In its July 2021 decision, Morris v. Giant Four Corners, the New Mexico Supreme Court held that the doctrine of negligent entrustment includes liability for someone who supplies gasoline to a person they knew or should have known was intoxicated. While the Morris court’s decision is novel in New Mexico, courts will likely interpret the inclusion narrowly, restricting the duty to circumstances where a commercial transaction enabled a DWI. By reviewing the decisions of other jurisdictions to include certain commercial transactions under negligent entrustment claims and the impact those decisions had on subsequent litigation, this article argues that Morris will …

New Mexico’S Just Deserts: How The State’S Sentencing Policies Have Negatively Affected Criminal Justice, Oliver M. Stephanz

New Mexico Law Review

This Article takes an empirical, data-driven approach to evaluate New Mexico’s sentencing program against those used throughout the nation. In so doing, it uses three primary factors to weigh the “success” of the state’s sentencing policies: (1) incarceration rates, (2) crime rates, and (3) recidivism. These factors are used because data from the last 40 years show that each one is affected by the type of sentencing system used in a given jurisdiction. Studies further indicate that specific types of sentencing systems are strongly correlated with lower crime, lower numbers of incarcerated individuals, and less recidivism among convicted offenders. This …

Policing The Unhoused, Ernesto Longa

New Mexico Law Review

[A]n Albuquerque police officer ordered Joleen Nez, a 37- year-old, unhoused, American Indian woman, “to pick up her litter [from the street] and of the consequences if she did not.” Joleen refused, stating, “It’s not my trash.” The consequences were that Joleen was summoned to appear in court for littering, booked into the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center (“MDC”) when she failed to appear and declared an in-custody death the next day.These stories and others like them prompted a series of questions. Why are non-violent petty criminal offenders being murdered by police and dying in county jails? What does the …

Humanized Patient-Derived Xenograft Models Of Disseminated Ovarian Cancer Recapitulate Key Aspects Of The Tumor Immune Environment Within The Peritoneal Cavity, Mara P. Steinkamp, Irina Lagutina, Kathryn J. Brayer, Fred Schultz, Danielle Burke, Vernon S. Pankratz, Sarah F. Adams, Laurie G. Hudson, Scott A. Ness, Angela Wandinger-Ness

Pathology Research and Scholarship

UNLABELLED: The importance of the immune microenvironment in ovarian cancer progression, metastasis, and response to therapies has become increasingly clear, especially with the new emphasis on immunotherapies. To leverage the power of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models within a humanized immune microenvironment, three ovarian cancer PDXs were grown in humanized NBSGW (huNBSGW) mice engrafted with human CD34

SIGNIFICANCE: huPDX models are ideal preclinical models for testing novel therapies. They reflect the genetic heterogeneity of the patient population, enhance human myeloid differentiation, and recruit immune cells to the tumor microenvironment.

State V. Gutierrez Abolishing The Spousal Communications Privilege: An Opinion Raising Profound Questions About The Future Of Evidentiary Privileges In The United States, Edward J. Imwinkelried

New Mexico Law Review

Part I of this article is a detailed description of the original Gutierrez decision, the dissents as well as the majority opinion. Part II then critically evaluates the majority’s analysis of the application of the instrumental theory to the spousal communications privilege. Part II argues that the majority correctly concluded that the instrumental case for the spousal privilege is weak. The majority rigorously applied the instrumental criteria to the privilege and came to the honest, realistic conclusion that, in most cases, spouses would consult and confide even if there were no spousal privilege. However, Part II points out that the …

Homeschool Educators’ Perspectives About Student Needs Within Occupational Therapy Scope Of Practice: A Pilot Study, Susan L. Iliff, Mary T. Hill, Rose White, Aubrey Alexander

Pediatrics Research and Scholarship

Homeschool educators (n = 31) were recruited to complete an electronic survey describing their perspectives. Findings indicated that many students had medical/academic needs, and accessed additional services such as occupational therapy (OT). Data analysis of open-ended questions revealed common categories: (a) curricula met or did not meet student needs (b) participants had experience-based, general or no knowledge of OT and (c) most felt homeschooling was a positive experience and expressed that limited resources were available. Further research is warranted to investigate available resources, specific needs, and how to best support students who homeschool.

Behavioral Strategies Of Social Relationship Formation And Competition Among Adolescent And Adult Male Chimpanzees At Kanyawara, Kibale National Park, Uganda, Drew K. Enigk

Anthropology ETDs

Adolescence is a unique life stage in which individuals are reproductively mature but have not yet attained their full adult body size. In chimpanzees, which live in multimale-multifemale groups, this age period presents a challenge for males. Namely, adolescent males lack the physical strength to compete effectively with adult males for mating opportunities. In the following chapters, we seek to answer whether adolescent male chimpanzees exhibit behavior typical of highly competitive adults but with less success, or whether they pursue alternative behavioral tactics to largely avoid competition until they are fully grown. We utilize both long-term data spanning over two …

The Human Gut Microbiome, Tammy J. Ladue

InterProfessional Education Research and Scholarship

Although the gut microbiome has been known for many years, it wasn’t until the mid-1970’s that a relationship was hypothesized in medical journals. With the advent of the Human Genome Project in 2001 (Adak & Khan, 2019) further investigation into the types and relationship of the microbes in the GI tract were seriously studied.

Utilizing DNA & RNA tracking and culture techniques found during the Genome Project, more information was found on the Gut Microbiome. It was as of 2017 that the knowledge on the Microbiome began to show promise. It has been speculated that the GI tract has approximately …
