Evaluating The Preclinical Curriculum For Women’S Health Content And Clinical Preparedness At Wayne State University School Of Medicine, Krishni Kumaresan, Annelise Gordon, Laura Benjamins

Medical Student Research Symposium

Introduction:

We evaluated the preclinical curriculum at WSU SOM to determine if there is sufficient coverage of women's health topics and its impact on students’ clinical preparedness. We hypothesized that students perceive inadequate coverage across multiple women’s health disciplines, leading to low clinical preparedness. Knowledge from this study can guide recommended changes to the curriculum.

Methods:

A Qualtrics survey was distributed to the classes of 2024, 2025, and 2026, collecting feedback on women’s health topic coverage, and self-rated comfort with addressing these topics clinically.

Results:

Students reported that HDF provided the most comprehensive coverage, except for preventive health, which was …

This is a survey study of HCPs offering prenatal and postpartum care, and pregnant patients. HCPs were given surveys …

The Role Of Churches In Enhancing Cancer Screening Adherence: A Focus On Faith-Based Health Literacy Among African American Women, Miranda I. Goodson, Genevieve Murray

Medical Student Research Symposium

Background: It is estimated that cancer is the second leading cause of death for African American women in the United States. One study revealed that Black women have a 1 in 3 chance of developing cancer with a 1 in 6 chance of mortality. Research has shown a lower breast cancer screening adherence among women in cultural minorities and faith-based communities. The importance of spirituality and religion as an influential factor on Black community members’ beliefs about health and medicine must be considered as churches are pillars of social support within Black American communities.

Methods: A search for studies about …

Medical Student Research Symposium

BACKGROUND: Surgery remains a male-dominated field, and mediating factors for this discrepancy remain ill-defined. Little research has explored the experience of female medical students in surgical clerkships, which can exert strong influence over career choice. This study investigates whether disparities in clerkship experiences contribute to this gender gap.

METHODS: US medical students were surveyed on a variety of measures, including clerkship experiences, via the 2022 and 2023 AAMC GQ surveys. Differences in response pattern between male and female students were analyzed with chi-squared tests.

RESULTS: In surgical clerkships, female students reported less physician oversight when performing histories (2022: 79.60% vs …

Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex: An Anatomical And Medical Illustration Study., Hallie Tiburzi, Carlos A G Machado, Massimo S D'Antoni, R Shane Tubbs

Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine Departmental Research

Recent advances in small-joint arthroscopy and cutting-edge magnetic resonance imaging systems have enabled orthopedic surgeons to perform more complex repairs of the wrist. Such repairs can include those of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) of the wrist that necessitates a reappraisal of its morphometry with special emphasis on the relationship between its articular disc (AD) and surrounding tissues. The TFCC AD is a fibrocartilaginous, biconcave structure located between the ulnar styloid process and the carpal bones of the wrist. We carefully dissected and measured the ADs of 58 wrists from 34 embalmed cadavers (20 females, 14 males) and fabricated three-dimensional …

Integrating Workplace Violence Prevention Into Nursing Curriculum: Preparing Future Nurses For Safer Practice ​, Noah Briere, Sarah Kegerreis, Molly Lasyone, Savannah Orris

SPARK Symposium Presentations

Nurses are under attack. 80% of nurses have experienced some form of workplace violence (WPV), which is seen as “part of the job.” Unfortunately, the agency responsible for protecting nurses, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), only offers voluntary guidelines. We have determined that nursing students are the best group to educate about WPV prevention in healthcare. Including this teaching to fit within their pre-clinical requirements, only needing one faculty to teach with an average salary of $80k, to further help set what should be foundational skills. By adding WPV de-escalation techniques and adequately preparing students prior to graduation. …

Exploring The Matriculation And Resource Utilization Of African American Students With Hidden Disabilities In The Health Sciences, Kimberly Houston

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

Introduction. Learning disabilities result from genetic and neurobiological factors that alter brain function, such that cognitive processes related to learning are affected. Hidden disabilities can be defined as a non-apparent chronic condition that interferes with a person’s activities of daily living. While learning disabilities may be hidden, there are non-learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, autism, depression, fibromyalgia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. While all races/ethnic groups have persons within their population who are disabled, African Americans are at a double disadvantage due to race and disability status. Therefore, the intersectionality of race and disability status among African American students in …
