Australian General Practice Training Program: National Report On The 2016 Registrar Satisfaction Survey, Ali Radloff, Daniel Edwards, Darren Matthews

Higher education research

The AGPT Registrar Satisfaction Survey was an annual, national survey of GP registrars currently training in the AGPT program that collects information about registrar satisfaction, experience and future career plans. The survey undertaken in November and December 2016 was part of the Department of Health’s monitoring and quality improvement activities and the information used to assure the quality of training provision, enable continuous improvement and allow results to be benchmarked nationally. It also collected information on registrars’ demographics, training contexts, career plans and other aspects of their training experience.

Can The Humanities Humanize Health Care?, Julet Baltonado, Tyler Cymet

Osteopathic Medicine Student Publications

Science can exist without context just as medicine can exist without patients, but should it? Data supporting a need for medical students to learn literature, philosophy, language, religion, art, and music are limited, but study findings indicate that the humanities can enhance empathy in medical students.

Educational And Practice Standard Differences Between Third World Physiotherapy And First World Physical Therapy, Elizabeth Egan

Honors Senior Capstone Projects

In the medical field, physical therapists or physiotherapists as many countries outside the United States refer to the profession as, are “highly-educated, licensed health care professionals who can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility...” Physical therapists/physiotherapists are responsible for teaching patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits. Physical therapists/physiotherapists do this by examining each individual and developing a plan, using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before …

Anatomical Knowledge Retention In Changing Curricula, Alexa Lean, Juliet Lee, Ellen Goldman, Gisela Butera, Kirsten Brown, Rosalyn Jurjus

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020

Traditionally anatomy is one of the first subjects taught in medical school. Practicing physicians have commented on medical students’ poor anatomical knowledge in surgically oriented clerkships. Literature also shows that correlating clinical and anatomical sciences throughout early medical education may improve anatomical knowledge retention. With major medical school curricular changes happening across the nation, more quantitative data confirming this correlation is needed.

The medical curriculum at the George Washington University School of Medicine recently underwent reorganization, transforming an earlier discipline-based curriculum to that of an integrated system-based one. In order to determine whether reorganization has an effect on anatomical knowledge …

Nutrition In Medical Education: Where Do We Stand And What Needs To Be Explored?, Rachel Flint, Kathleen Kline, Zhiyong Han, Mark S. Elliott, Natalie Nicolas, Rosalyn Jurjus

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020

Introduction:

Dietary interventions and nutrition care improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Despite status as a necessary topic in medical school education, many U.S. medical schools do not adequately prepare future physicians for everyday nutritional challenges in clinical practice. There is immense research behind the necessity of nutrition education but little concerning the methods of implementing this change. The purpose of this work was to review the current innovations of nutrition curriculum in the literature and discuss future directions for our medical school.

Method:

A systematic search of scientific literature databases was performed to examine existing literature about the …

Health Literacy Skills Of Aging Populations And Its Impact On The Prevention Of Cardiovascular Disease, Peter Gorman

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a threat to both the economic and social well being of Switzerland. Cardiovascular disease is easily a preventable disease, yet continues to take over the world. One’s ability to read and comprehend health information from medical professionals is a vital component of maintaining and improving an individuals’ overall health. Health literacy can have an impact on the effectiveness of preventive interventions in health behaviors and the success of health outcomes. Studies have shown that well-educated and financially improved persons have a higher health competence than lower educated persons.1 Given that cardiovascular disease is the number one …

Promotion Of Independent Crna Practice In Rural Areas, Kenneth Hinkle

Promotion of Independent CRNA Practice in Rural Areas

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) provide the majority of anesthesia care in rural areas across the United States (Seibert, Alexander, & Lupien 2004). No federal mandate exists which states CRNAs must be supervised, yet some facilities require CRNAs to be supervised by anesthesiologists. CRNAs are equally safe in providing anesthesia care as physician anesthesiologists (Dulisse & Cromwell, 2010). Yet many policy makers and hospital administrators are unaware that regulations permit the safe, cost effective care of CRNAs. Indeed, many facilities are facing pressure to allow anesthesiologists to oversee practice, even in many …

Emerging Technologies And The Measurement Of Consciousness, Kristin Corona

Community of Scholars Day—Posters

With significant advancements in science and technology, along with increased focus on neuroplasticity, new ways to measure consciousness and changes in consciousness are emerging. Advanced neuroimaging technologies are being succeeded by more holistic methods of gathering data with the use of electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring. The implications are better tools for the scientific community to assess medical conditions and cognitive states as well as higher awareness and integration of consciousness into our everyday lives.

Patient Perceptions Of Clinician's Empathy: Measurement And Psychometrics., Mohammadreza Hojat, Jennifer Desantis, Joseph S. Gonnella

Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Faculty Papers

The prominence of reciprocal understanding in patient–doctor empathic engagement implies that patient perception of clinician’s empathy has an important role in the assessment of the patient–clinician relationship. In response to a need for an assessment tool to measure patient’s views of clinician empathy, we developed a brief (5-item) instrument, the Jefferson Scale of Patient Perceptions of Physician Empathy (JSPPPE). This review article reports evidence in support of the validity and reliability of the JSPPPE.
