Easy And Accurate Transition Between Common Beta Blockers: A Qi Project, Sam Short, Amalia Kane UVM

Easy And Accurate Transition Between Common Beta Blockers: A Qi Project, Sam Short, Amalia Kane

Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects

Hypertension is a common condition that often worsens with disease progression and/or age alone. The management of hypertension often requires multiple drug therapy. Beta blockers can be useful for this, and are often prescribed for other comorbid conditions such as angina or heart failure. Yet, not all beta blockers have the same effect on blood pressure and it can be advantageous to transition patients to non-selective agents such as carvedilol. However, dose conversions are not 1:1 and inappropriate transition can be dangerous. No readily accessible resources are available to aid the clinical management of this problem. This project aims to …

Evidence-Based Best Practice For Discharge Planning: A Policy Review, Marissa Lewis University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences

Evidence-Based Best Practice For Discharge Planning: A Policy Review, Marissa Lewis

Student Scholarly Projects

Ineffective discharge planning produces poor patient healthcare outcomes, potential adverse events, and medical errors. A primary deterrent to successful discharge planning is communication, either within the interdisciplinary team or during handoff to the receiving transition of care facilities of home health, skilled nursing, or acute rehabilitation.

The purpose of the evaluation project was to determine if current policies, communication tools, and workflows of three healthcare organizations were based on evidence and make recommendations for policy revisions. The Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals Model (JHNEBP) was used with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Policy Process (POLARIS) …

Induced Lactation, Katherine M. Evans University of Vermont

Induced Lactation, Katherine M. Evans

Family Medicine Scholarly Works

Induced lactation refers to the production of breast milk in a woman who has never been pregnant. While induced lactation has been practiced developing nations for centuries, it has only recently been introduced to the United States. Induced lactation allows a woman to provide both nutrition and nurture an emotional bond with an infant in cases of adoption, surrogacy, same-sex couples, maternal-infant separation, and emergencies/natural disasters. Many protocols for inducing lactation have been described, though all vary widely in methodology and effectiveness. The current review summarizes the physiology of human lactation, psychosocial factors involved with inducing lactation, non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic …

A Match Made In Antitrust Heaven? A Liberalistic Exploration Of The Medical Match's Antitrust Exemption, Washington University in St. Louis

A Match Made In Antitrust Heaven? A Liberalistic Exploration Of The Medical Match's Antitrust Exemption

Washington University Jurisprudence Review

In the 2004 case Jung v. Association of American Medical Colleges, a group of resident physicians brought a class action suit challenging the legality of the National Residency Matching Program, a system that controls essentially all appointments to medical residency programs. The plaintiffs claimed the Match artificially depressed wages and created an anticompetitive labor market. The lawsuit was met with a swift end by the codification of an antitrust exemption to the Match. Although the Jung case is over, medical residents continue to face unreasonable restraints on their liberty. This note begins with an overview of medical education and the …

Mental Health And Experiences Of Pregnancy Among Black Women And Birthing People With Type 1 Diabetes (T1d), Madeleine E. Marcus 2023 University of San Francisco

Mental Health And Experiences Of Pregnancy Among Black Women And Birthing People With Type 1 Diabetes (T1d), Madeleine E. Marcus

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation explored the potential effects of intersections of oppression (i.e., anti-Black racism, diabetes discrimination, and sexism) on mental health and pregnancy experiences among Black women and birthing people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Previous studies about pregnancy and T1D have included mainly white, cisgender women. Three participants qualified for inclusion in the present study and participated in semi-structured interviews, which the researcher analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) framework. Participants described feeling uncertain about whether aspects of their pregnancy experiences were related to obstetric and/or medical racism. Similarly, participants sometimes seemed uncertain about how racism may affect their …

Ambivalence At 10 000 Feet, Marc Perlman 2023 Albany Medical College

Ambivalence At 10 000 Feet, Marc Perlman

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

The transition from medical neophyte to seasoned physician is a gradual process spanning the course of many years. However, there are various milestones throughout the experience that capture increases in decision-making capacity and responsibility, such as the switch from pre-clinical to clinical medical education. Medical students in their clinical years are endowed with an abundance of knowledge from their pre-clinical years and are just beginning to synthesize and apply that information to patient care. “Ambivalence at 10 000 Feet” captures a reflection of a third-year medical student on the theoretical decision to provide emergency medical care in the absence of …

Strategies To Facilitate Professional Student Collaboration Focused On An Interprofessional Understanding, Nicole Trupiano, Tommy Lau, Kelsey Dods, Olivia S. Anderson

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: Newer studies have suggested that interprofessional education (IPE) initiatives led by students can be successful in engaging their peers in IPE. Despite this, few studies exist that examine the student response to student-led IPE activities. The objective of this paper is to describe a student-led IPE program where health professional students learn from each other or from practicing health professionals through a seminar series. Method: Three seminars were arranged with presenters representing dentistry, dietetics, and occupational therapy. Student attendees completed a pre- and post-survey to analyze their interest, knowledge, and likelihood to collaborate with the profession featured in each …

Examination Of The Aggregate Scoring Method In A Judgment Concordance Test, Marie-France Deschênes, Éric Dionne, Michelle Dorion, Julie Grondin

Practical Assessment, Research, and Evaluation

The use of the aggregate scoring method for scoring concordance tests requires the weighting of test items to be derived from the performance of a group of experts who take the test under the same conditions as the examinees. However, the average score of experts constituting the reference panel remains a critical issue in the use of these tests. This study aims to examine the distribution of panelists’ scores on the judgment concordance test (JCT) using the aggregate scoring method. A test composed of 32 items was developed and completed by 14 experts. The mean scores of the experts were …
