Training Fm Residents In Prep Is "Hiv Possible", M Ellis Jaruzel, Carlie Nikel

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) offers the promise of dramatically reducing the risk of HIV transmission. Institutions in public health believe that PrEP is key to ending the HIV epidemic and improving access is central to this program. Prior literature has suggested that discomfort discussing sexual behaviors and STIs inhibit prescribing PrEP in primary care settings. Given the anticipated need for competent prescription of PrEP in primary care settings as a future routine part of clinical practice, a large (10/10/10) midwestern family medicine residency program designed and implemented a sexual health and PrEP OSCE in consultation with experts from the state (Michigan) …

Residency As A Rite Of Passage: Assessing Liminality In Night Float And Improving Competency Evaluations, Lily Anderson-Chavarria, James Meza, Frank Mueller, Jianming Lau

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Purpose/Background: ACGME emphasizes competency-based evaluation of post-graduate education. However, written evaluations using averaged Likert Scales with minimal anchoring to real experiences is a sub-optimal method of evaluating resident competence. Through qualitative research, we explored resident’s own reflections on their transition into competent physicians and attempted to identify an alternative model for resident assessment. Based on informal observations, we predicted that night float rotations in the second-year curriculum are determinative for residents to achieve competence in clinical care. We further hypothesized that residents’ experiences mirror a Rite of Passage marked by rituals of separation, transition and reintegration, with night float serving …

Assessing The State Of Nutrition Education In Michigan Medical Schools, Sarah Bdeir, James Meza, Kareem Tayeb

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Despite the National Academy of Science recommending a minimum of 25 hours of nutrition education, U.S. medical schools dedicate an average of only 19 hours, and 75% lack mandatory clinical nutrition classes¹. Alarmingly, only 14% of current healthcare providers feel confident discussing nutrition with patients, despite its critical role in disease prevention and management². To address this gap, we surveyed medical students at five of seven Michigan medical schools about their schools' approaches to culinary medicine, self-perceived competence, and recommendations for improving nutrition education curricula. The survey was given to key representatives at each medical school, who distributed the survey …

The Use Of A Short And User-Friendly Questionnaire As A Screening Tool To Identify Potential Gaps In Nutrition Knowledge Of Adolescent Athletes, Roben Ohev Shalom, David Lick, Virginia E. Uhley

Posters

Nutrition knowledge in adolescent athletes is rarely formally assessed by physicians. Current popular nutrition questionnaires include the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBSS) and the Nutrition for Sport Knowledge Questionnaire (NSKQ). These questionnaires are long and are not optimal to assess nutrition knowledge in adolescent athletes at their preparticipation examinations. A systematic review conducted by Tam et al, showed that questionnaires would benefit from interactive and attractive features including images. A novel nutrition questionnaire was adapted from the NSKQ that was user friendly, short in length, electronic and included images. We hypothesized that through collecting physicians feedback on the questionnaire …

Near-Surface Dose Correlates With Moist Desquamation And Unplanned Reconstructive Surgery In Patients With Implant-Based Reconstruction Receiving Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy, Patrick Thrasher, Ronald Levitin, Bryan S.

Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) utilized as part of a breast cancer treatment regimen reduces the risk of disease recurrence in appropriately selected patients.1,2,3,4,5 However, PMRT increases risk of radiationrelated toxicities that can interfere with breast reconstruction post-mastectomy.6 Following mastectomy, implant-based reconstruction can increase patient satisfaction and quality of life7,8; complications induced by PMRT such as infection and tissue contracture, though, increase risk for implant loss and may ultimately require further surgeries for the patient.

PMRT is delivered based on treatment plans that are optimized to provide appropriate radiation dosages to tissues along the chest wall while simultaneously limiting exposure of …

Protecting Wellness And Boundaries While Navigating Leaves Of Absences: Case Studies For Approaching From An Ethical And Behavioral Health Lens, Jennifer Kowalkowski, Sawsan Edriss, Stephen Warnick

Website/Multimedia Contributions

The new ACGME guidelines for paid 6-week family and medical leave are a big step forward in helping our residents maintain their health and well-being. Previously noted for having one of the strictest leave allowances among medical specialties, family medicine programs may see future increases in leave requests due to policy changes extending allowable leave times and increased stress from both the Covid-19 pandemic and current mental health crisis facing our nation. Leaves that involve physical or mental health crises are certainly very difficult for the resident on leave but can significantly impact co-residents and program faculty as well. Our …

Effects Of State-Wide Mandatory Automated Prescribing System On Safe Medication Disposal, Helen E. Huetteman, Elie Mulhem

Posters

INTRODUCTION
In June 2018, Michigan lawmakers passed new legislation to restrict and monitor controlled substance prescriptions, leading to a significant decrease in the prescribing of opioids. This project aims to evaluate effects of this legislation on safe medication disposal trends throughout the state.

Google Translate "Schwartzfahrer" And The Exploration Of Racism And Belonging In A Different Culture, James P. Meza, Daniel Tanbakuchi, Robin Zehner, Andrea Daniel, Jianming Lau

Conference Presentation Abstracts

This project is based on the premise that observing a different culture enables a less politicized discussion of racism in the America. Using the short film "Schwartzfahrer" by Pepe Danquart, this project proposes convening focus groups to uncover layers of meaning and differing perspectives on topics that include race, identity, immigration, societal belonging-exclusion, and civic courage. The film is 12 minutes long. Participants will be asked to examine non-verbal and para-linguistic attributes portrayed. The second layer of meaning will be elicited by adding English subtitles and viewing the film again. The facilitator will elicit a list of overt racist utterances …

Does Losing 5-7% Of A Prediabetic’S Body Weight While Completing The Diabetes Prevention Program Decrease Ascvd Risk?, Molly Kucera, T Marchewka, A Craib

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Purpose: According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one-third of adults have prediabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes, a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) focuses on lifestyle modifications to help participants lose 5-7% of their body weight and prevent type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether successful completion of the DPP is associated with a decrease in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk.
Methods: One-site, prospective cohort study. The DPP was implemented on-site at Farmington Village Family Practice and virtually via Zoom from January 2020 …
