2][3][4] In the 1990s, prevalence of both obesity and diabetes nearly doubled, demonstrating significance each as a major public health issue. 5ata on interrelationship between BMI physical activity risk are limited.7][8] There few observational studies that directly evaluate joint relationship with in population healthy women. 9 clearer understanding combined effect is needed to stratify patients by turn target those at highest developing diabetes.Therefore, we investigated relation-ship...
Glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) therapy reduces clinical disease activity in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS).To study the effect of glatiramer on neuropsychologic function as part a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial.Two hundred forty-eight patients with MS and mild to moderate disability (Expanded Disability Status Scale score, <5.0) were tested before 12 24 months after randomization administration acetate, 20 mg/d, or matching placebo. Neuropsychologic tests...
Background: Fatigue is common in multiple sclerosis (MS), but difficulty quantifying fatigue severity has impeded studies of its characteristics, mechanisms, and therapeutics. Motor can be objectively measured as the decline strength occurring during sustained contractio ns. A nalogous declines cognitive performance occur tasks requiring attentio n. Objective: To measure a tests Design/Methods: Patients with clinically stable MS (n=20) healthy controls (n=21) comparable age, gender,...
<h3>Background</h3> Physical activity and body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height meters squared) independently alter the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD); however, their combined effect on CHD is not established. Our objective was to study association physical CHD. <h3>Methods</h3> Prospective cohort 38 987 women free cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes at baseline Women's Health Study, with 10.9 mean years follow-up. Weight, height, recreational...
ABSTRACT Background With a trend towards competency‐based assessment in medical education, there is need for increased direct observation, feedback and coaching of students during clinical rotations. Approach To increase observation provide more feedback, we designed model which faculty coach met with longitudinally the internal medicine clerkship. The first session included an observed history physical (H&P), student identified skill areas to focus on remaining sessions. All sessions...
Background. Despite obesity’s relevance and impact, curricula addressing obesity are underrepresented in clinical medical education. A novel pilot program to begin teaching students about care of the obese patient was developed student attitudes toward bariatric surgery were assessed. Methods.The authors paired third-year with patients undergoing surgery. Students established a longitudinal relationship, received faculty mentorship, kept reflections journal. An attitude assessment survey...
"Student-as-Teacher" (SaT) programs have been growing in number to prepare medical students for their teaching roles residency and beyond, but it remains unknown what content areas should be covered SaT curricula.To determine five ten "essential" inclusion curricula using expert opinion.Using a three-round Delphi process, moderators iteratively surveyed panel of 28 educators (25 academy directors three individuals identified as having expertise undergraduate education) representing 25...
The changing healthcare environment and movement toward team-based care are contemporary challenges confronting health professional education. primary workforce must be prepared with recent national interprofessional competencies to practice lead in this environment. From 2012 2014, the weekly Beth Israel Deaconess Crimson Care Collaborative Student-Faculty Practice collaborated Northeastern University develop, implement evaluate an innovative model that incorporated education into goal of...
Context.—There are few published examples of pathology instruction during the clinical years medical student training. This lack exposure to may lead poor understanding laboratory testing and role pathologists in patient care. Objective.—To design, implement, evaluate a curriculum integrated into longitudinal clerkship for third-year students. Design.—The includes an introductory session transition week course, pathologist participation case conferences, elective. The was evaluated by using...
Student-run clinics (SRCs) are prevalent in medical schools. Although these popular among students and provide ample learning opportunities, opportunities not well-characterized. SRCs poised to support schools' ability meet accreditation standards student growth learning, particularly areas missing from traditional curricula, such as social determinants of health, interprofessional education inequities.At the Crimson Care Collaborative (CCC), a network 7 Harvard Medical School affiliated...
Background Since 2020, virtual interviews have become the typical way in which applicants assess residency programs. It is unknown whether change from in-person to has been associated with changes perceptions of quality information gathered by prospective applicants. Objective To ascertain perspectives on satisfaction with, of, and accuracy internal medicine (IM) interviews. Methods Twenty-nine thousand, seven hundred seventy-six residents US Puerto Rico programs sitting for 2022 American...
Poorly designed healthcare systems increase costs and preventable medical errors. To address these issues, systems-based practice (SBP) education provides future physicians with the tools to identify systemic errors implement quality improvement (QI) initiatives enhance delivery of cost-effective, safe multi-disciplinary care. Although SBP is being implemented in residency programs mandated by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) as one its core competencies, it has...
In the current transformative health care landscape, it is imperative that clinician educators inspire future clinicians to practice primary in a dynamic environment. A focus on patient-centered, goal-oriented for patients with chronic conditions critical.In 2009, Harvard Medical School founded Crimson Care Collaborative, student-faculty collaborative (SFCP) network. With aim of expanding clinical and educational opportunities medical students improving patient control disease (i.e.,...
Although interprofessional relationships are ubiquitous in clinical practice, undergraduate medical students have limited opportunities to develop these the setting. A few student-faculty collaborative practice networks (SFCPNs) been working address this issue, but data exist examining nature and extent of practices. systematic survey at a Harvard-affiliated SFCPN is utilised evaluate quantity quality interactions, isolate improvements, identify challenges education (IPE). Our corroborate...
