Vascular In-Person For Students In The Match Trial: An Investigation Of Postinterview Site Visits To Address The Limitations Of Virtual Interviews, David Rigberg, Brigitte K. Smith, Ting Sun, Benjamin Pearce, Misty Humphries, Malachi Sheahan, Dawn Coleman, Jason Lee

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

PURPOSE: The graduate medical education community implemented virtual residency interviews in response to travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this approach has persisted. Although many residency applicants wish to visit in-person prospective training sites, such opportunities could bias programs toward those who are able to meet this financial burden, exacerbating equity concerns. One proposed solution is to offer applicants the opportunity to visit only after a program's rank list is "locked," avoiding favoritism to applicants who visit, but allowing applicants to experience some of the camaraderie, geography, and local effects of an in-person visit. As debate about the optimal …

American Association For Anatomy Recommendations For The Management Of Legacy Anatomical Collections, Jon Cornwall, Thomas H. Champney, Carlina De La Cova, Dominic Hall, Sabine Hildebrandt, Jason C. Mussell, Andreas Winkelmann, Valerie B. Deleon

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Collections of human remains in scientific and private institutions have a long tradition, though throughout history there has often been variable regard for the respect and dignity that these tissues demand. Recent public scandals around the use of human remains, coupled with an increasing community awareness around accountability in such instances, forces scholars to confront the ethical and moral concerns associated with these collections. This includes specific focus on the acquisition, storage, use, and disposition of these remains, which were often collected with no consent and with little knowledge, or concern, about the individual or their respective culture and practices …

Comparison Of In-Person Versus Virtual Ultrasound Instruction For Pediatric Residents, Jason T. Gillon, E. Liang Liu, Valerie Dutreuil, Stephanie G. Cohen, Lekha A. Shah

An Exploratory Investigation Of Longitudinal Interprofessional Education Attitudes At The Team Level, Tina Patel Gunaldo, Colette Baudoin, Sharon Duffy, Harun Mazumder, Scott Edwards

Center for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Papers

Introduction: Although interprofessional education (IPE) experiences inherently include students from different academic programs working together, most quantitative IPE longitudinal research is analyzed at the all-student level or academic program level. There is a need to assess IPE outcomes at the team level.

Methods: Pre-licensure students participating in a two-year IPE curriculum were randomly assigned to 60 teams. Each student completed the Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education Revised instrument, version 2 (SPICE-R2) using a retrospective pre/post-test design at the end of the first and second year. Boxplots of score changes for each of the teams were constructed. Differences in SPICE-R2 …

Lower Double-Wall Puncture Rate During Ultrasound-Guided Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation Using Sharper, Narrower-Gauge, And/Or Length-Optimized Needles: A 6-Year Quality Improvement Clinical Series In Adult Patients, James M. Riopelle, Valeriy V. Kozmenko, Melville Q. Wyche, Marion L. Yapuncich, Eddie J. Pitre

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Background; During internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation, needle tip injury to vulnerable subjacent cervical anatomic structures can be prevented if the cannulating needle tip is not permitted, even momentarily, to penetrate the deep portion of the IJV wall, an event known as double-wall puncture (DWP), also called posterior wall puncture. Methods; We conducted a 6-year ultrasound-guided IJV cannulation quality improvement project, seeking to minimize the occur-rence of DWP in 228 adult patients using needles of different gauge and tip sharpness. Most needles were length-optimized to the distance between the skin puncture site and the IJV mid-lumen for a selected angle …

Understanding The Factors Associated With Us Dermatology Resident Trainees’ Diagnostic Confidence And Skill For Skin Of Color Pathology, Alissa Jeanfreau, Kaylin Beiter, Deborah Hilton

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Background: Inequities in dermatologic health outcomes translate to worsened clinical outcomes for minority groups. For example, despite a lower incidence of skin cancer overall, African Americans are diagnosed at later stages with greater degrees of lymph node involvement. This has been shown to lead to disproportionate mortality when compared to lighter skinned individuals. Medical education materials contain a significantly lower percentage of skin of color (SOC) images than of lighter skin and research has indicated lower diagnostic accuracy of dermatologic conditions in darker skin by U.S. medical students. The objective of this study was to explore U.S. resident dermatologists’ ability …

Developing A Management And Finance Training For Future Public Health Leaders, Kristy T. Hayes, Harry J. Heiman, Peggy A. Honoré

School of Public Health Faculty Publications

Public health leaders are increasingly being asked to address adaptive challenges in the context of finite and often limited resources. Budgets and their associated resources create the financial framework within which public health agencies and organizations must operate. Yet, many public health professionals expected to undertake roles requiring this foundational knowledge and skills are not trained in the fundamentals of public finance and are ill-equipped for managing and monitoring funds. Graduate courses in schools of public health most often are focused on health care management and finance or private sector finance. To meet the needs of future public health leaders, …
