Evaluation Of Shortened Irinotecan Infusion Times And Adverse Effects Incidence For Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology Patients, Rachel N. Ochs, Daniel J. Donovan, Neha A. Betrabet, Wendy M. Covert

Advances in Cancer Education and Quality Improvement

Background: Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, is commonly used to treat gastrointestinal cancers. The infusion time of irinotecan is usually over 90 minutes; however, studies support the safety and feasibility of 30-minute infusions. A shortened infusion duration may improve patient quality of life, optimize infusion chair utilization, and reduce wait times. Faster infusion rates may increase the risk of acute cholinergic side effects, reported in up to 50% of patients (all grades). Current institutional practice in the gastrointestinal medical oncology (GIMO) clinic involves administering irinotecan over 90 minutes and using atropine as needed for reversing cholinergic symptoms. For patients who …

Unlocking Faculty Potential: A Quasi-Experimental Study Of Coaching And Academic Performance In Health Care Settings, Amanda Woods Herron, Katelyn J. Cavanaugh, Michelle Figliuolo Deveau, Courtney L. Holladay

Advances in Cancer Education and Quality Improvement

As faculty in academic medicine face mounting demands to excel in clinical care, research, teaching, and administrative responsibilities, interventions that support professional sustainability are increasingly critical. Coaching has emerged as a promising developmental strategy within health care leadership, yet its impact on research and clinical outcomes in academic medical centers remains underexplored. This quasi-experimental study evaluated the effectiveness of a coaching program using intentional change theory (ICT) as a conceptual framework. ICT emphasizes sustainable personal transformation through alignment between the ideal self and professional goals. We examined a sample of 189 coached clinical faculty and 200 matched peers who had …

Beyond Screening In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Domain-Standardized, Measure-Flexible Framework For Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessment, Etiane Navarro

Archives of Assessment Psychology

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multisystem neurodegenerative disorder in which cognitive, behavioral, language, and social-cognitive changes may occur across clinical phenotypes, including the ALS-frontotemporal spectrum. Neuropsychological assessment is important for characterizing nonmotor manifestations and identifying changes relevant to autonomy, everyday functioning, and clinical management. This systematic review examined literature identified through APA PsycINFO, PubMed, Google Scholar, and supplementary searching to characterize neuropsychological domains, measures, phenotype-related findings, and disease-specific limitations relevant to comprehensive assessment. Two hundred records underwent title and abstract screening, 150 reports were reviewed in full text, and 61 resources were retained for synthesis. ALS-specific screening instruments, including …

Teaching Medical Students To Identify Social Determinants Of Health Through Observation And Reflection, Bridget Croniger Ockunzzi, Kathleen Liu Young, Jennifer Mendez, Rima Charara

Internal Medicine Faculty Publications

Purpose: Social determinants of health (SDOH) impact 80-90% of health outcomes in the United States. To address SDOH, innovative teaching of future healthcare professionals is needed. At one large urban medical school in an area with a high population of underserved individuals, first-year medical students participated in a Service Learning curriculum, assessing community needs in local ZIP Code areas. This single-institution descriptive program evaluation describes the implementation and feasibility of this educational activity and reports students' identified community priorities and self-reported engagement.

Participants and Methods: During the 2022-2023 academic year, forty-one groups of 6--8 first-year medical students conducted neighborhood observations, …
