One Model Of Collaborative Learning For Medical And Law Students At The University Of Baltimore And Johns Hopkins University, Gregory Dolin, Natalie Ram

All Faculty Scholarship

Medicine, like law, is sometimes referred to as a “conservative” profession, as both can change slowly, stifling innovation. While the art of medicine has produced important advances, there is at least one part of medicine that has not changed much in more than 100 years. Nearly all American medical schools have followed much the same educational model since Abraham Flexner published his famous report on the state of American medical education in 1910. The educational model promoted by that report emphasizes teaching students the science of medicine, but it is not well equipped for teaching students about the practicalities of …

Optimizing Electrocardiogram Interpretation And Catheterization Laboratory Activation In St-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarct, Alexander E. Sullivan, Mortada Shams, Marco A. Mercader, Jacob Varghese, Abudureyimu Shajidan, Bassel Hassouna, Vimala V. Jayanthi

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020

Background: To achieve the 90-minute reperfusion goal in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care, providers must diagnose STEMIs from electrocardiograms (ECGs) obtained upon emergency room arrival and appropriately activate the catheterization lab. To enhance early STEMI care, we sought to improve medical student STEMI recognition and diagnostic accuracy with a teaching module we designed and developed.

Methods: Through a literature review, we identified evidenced-based criteria for classic STEMI patterns, STEMI-equivalents with non-classic STEMI patterns including hyperacute T-waves, STEMI with existing left bundle branch block (LBBB) and Wellens’ syndrome and non-ischemic STEMI-mimics such as known LBBB, pericarditis, ventricular aneurysm, …

Teaching Internal Medicine Residents About Genetics: One Topic At A Time - Breast Cancer, Maria Henry, Andrew Nance, Charles Macri

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020

Background: Currently, the field of medicine is experiencing rapid changes in genetics and genomics information. While medical school curricula all include some genetics education, the content may vary from one school to another, leaving Internal Medicine (IM) residents with different skills and knowledge. In an IM residency where residents come from different medical schools, presenting an organized genetics curriculum may have value. Patients expect their physicians to be knowledgeable and current about their specific disease, including the genetic components and expect that they can inform them about terminology, inheritance, diagnostic testing, risks and benefits of testing. Physicians will need …

Clinical Public Health Integration In Medical School Curriculum: Transitioning Medical Student Training From Medical Problems To Health Solutions, Ashtin Jeney, Bridget C. Huysman, Jamie Majdi, Kent Aje, Madeline Taskier, David K. Popiel, Lawrence R. Deyton, Karla Bartholomew

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020

The current chronic disease burden, growing health disparities, and evolution of our healthcare system require that medical students be equipped with basic public health education to effectively manage patients, navigate the healthcare system, and advocate for health(1,2,3,4,5,6). The Institute of Medicine and the AAMC emphasize the need for physicians to be trained in public health(1,8). The inaugural year of the revised curriculum at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences (GW SMHS) represented a first step at the institution to integrate clinical public health into medical education. As part of this process, the Clinical Public Health (CLiPH) …

Otolaryngology For Internal Medicine: Increasing Exposure To Otolaryngology Using Computer Assisted Instruction, Arielle Thal, Philip Zapanta

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020

It has been well identified in previous literature that there is a lack of otolaryngology teaching for general practitioners. There is not currently a standardized curriculum for otolaryngology in undergraduate medical education or during residency for those pursuing a general field such as Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics or Family Medicine. While the need for more exposure to otolaryngology within these fields has been well documented, as 25% of primary care complaints are otolaryngology related, little has been done to identify the best method for educational intervention. Important topics for inclusion in such a curriculum have been identified and methods …

Medical Student Competency In Wound Care Guidelines, Sophia Akhiyat, Sean Mcnish, Kara S. Couch, Victoria K. Shanmugam

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020

Chronic wounds that have failed to heal after 3 months of appropriate wound care affect approximately 6.5 million people in the US with a prevalence of 1% and costs estimated at $25 billion per year. Medical students currently receive limited wound care training, yet to effectively manage chronic wounds, providers must both understand the biology of healing, and also remain up-to-date with wound care guidelines published by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The purpose of this student-led project was to investigate medical students' knowledge and comfort with wound care guidelines.

Comparing Emergency Department Resident And Patient Perspectives On Costs In Emergency Care, Stefanie Gilbert, Leana S. Wen, Jesse M. Pines

GW Research Days 2016 - 2020

Objectives: Costs of care are increasingly important in healthcare policy and, more recently, clinical care in the Emergency Department (ED). We compare ED resident and patient perceptions surrounding the costs of emergency care, compliance, communication, and education.

Methods: We conducted a mixed methods study using surveys and qualitative interviews in a single, urban academic ED. The first study population was a convenience sample of adult patients (>17 years of age), and the second was ED residents training at the same institution. Participants answered open- and closed-ended questions on costs, cost-related compliance, and communication. Residents answered additional questions …
