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 …

Defining Quality In Medical Practice, Nicholas E. Boggs

Clinical Research in Practice: The Journal of Team Hippocrates

We need physicians who are willing to participate in creating the standard of care, and to hold insurance companies accountable for real evidence-based quality markers. Only then will patients receive adequate care and we as educators in medicine be able to adequately teach the next generation of physicians.
