Critical examination of “health disparities” is gaining consideration in medical schools across the United States, often as elective curricula that supplement required education. However, there disconnect between discussions race and disparities these core science courses. Specifically, preclinical lecturers operationalize a biological concept, framing racialized inherent bodies. A three- five-month sampling lecture slides at authors’ school demonstrated was almost always presented risk...
Enhanced patient outcomes and accreditation criteria have led schools to integrate interprofessional education (IPE). While several studies describe IPE curricula at individual institutions, few examine practices across multiple institutions. To the integration different institutions determine gaps where there is potential for improvement. In this mixed methods study, we obtained survey results from 16 U.S. medical schools, 14 of which reported activities. The most common collaboration was...
While electronic health record (EHR) use is becoming state-of-the-art, deliberate teaching of care information technology (HCIT) competencies not keeping pace with burgeoning use. Medical students require training to become skilled users HCIT, but formal pedagogy within undergraduate medical education (UME) sparse. How can educators best meet the needs learners while integrating EHRs into and practice? they help preserve foster effective communication skills computerized setting? In general,...
In nowadays state of the art VR environments, displayed in CAVEs or HMDs, navigation technics may frequently induce cybersickness VR-Induced Symptoms and Effects (VRISE), drastically limiting friendly use environments with no limitations. two distinct experiments, we investigated acceleration VRISE thresholds for longitudinal rotational motions compared 3 different systems: 2 a HMD (Oculus Rift DK2). We found that occur more often strongly case major difference between HMD. Based on obtained...
There is a growing body of literature illustrating the negative impact racial bias on clinical care. Despite evidence, medical schools have been slow to make necessary curricular changes. Most attempts educate health disparities focus transferring knowledge and do not foster development skills understand one's own or address racism in setting. To this, we developed small-group, case-based curriculum for rising third-year students.This session was designed be delivered concurrently run,...
To examine medical student attitudes toward cost-conscious care and whether regional health intensity is associated with reported exposure to physician role-modeling behaviors related care. Students at 10 U.S. schools were surveyed in 2015. Thirty-five items assessed toward, perceived barriers consequences of, observed (using scales for potentially wasteful behaviors; Cronbach alphas of 0.82 0.81, respectively). Regional was measured using Dartmouth Atlas End-of-Life Chronic Illness Care...
Background: The incorporation of technology into medical education is critical for learners. Little known about the effect integrating iPad undergraduate education.Aims: We introduced iPads first-year curriculum in 2011–2012. aimed to evaluate students' use of, and attitudes toward, iPad.Methods: administered two surveys students during 2011–2012 academic year. Additionally, we conducted focus groups further effectiveness integration curriculum.Results: Survey data reflect mixed toward...
Background: Students from health professional schools participated in a half-day interprofessional education workshop centered on substance use disorder training. One component was patient panel featuring individuals with history of opioid who described the impact addiction their lives and road to recovery using varied treatment options. We hypothesized that interacting early training would elicit more humanistic perspectives decrease bias stigma future care professionals. Methods: After...
Medical students represent a primary target for tobacco cessation training. This study assessed the prevalence of medical students' use, attitudes, clinical skills, and tobacco-related curricula in two countries, US Italy, with known baseline disparities hopes identifying potential corrective interventions. From September to December 2013, enrolled at University Bologna Brown were recruited via email answer survey questions assessing attitudes skills related patients' smoking, elements...
The current opioid epidemic requires new approaches to increasing access treatment for patients with use disorders and improve availability of medication assisted treatment. We propose a model where medical students complete the necessary training be eligible waiver prescribe medications treat these by time school graduation. This plan would increase number Drug Abuse Treatment Act 2000 (DATA 2000) waivered physicians who could gain additional experience in treating substance during...
The success of initiatives intended to increase the value health care depends, in part, on degree which cost-conscious is endorsed by current and future physicians. This study aimed first analyze attitudes U.S. physicians age then compare medical students. A paper survey was mailed mid-2012 3897 practicing randomly selected from American Medical Association Masterfile. An electronic sent early 2015 all 5,992 students at 10 schools. Survey items measured toward perceived responsibility for...

For decades, the medical community has been dealing with a shortage of child psychiatrists in United States. A study published Pediatrics November 2019 demonstrated that although number increased last 10 years, there are still not enough to meet demand, and counties States lower levels income education particularly struggle demand.1 Thirty-six states have fewer than per 100 000 children, only 3.3 most extreme case.1 This imbalance translates into wait times over 11 months for an appointment...
Abstract Objective We aimed to investigate medical students’ attitudes about Clinical Informatics (CI) training and careers. Materials Methods distributed a web-based survey students at four US allopathic schools. Results Five hundred fifty-seven responded. Interest in CI opportunities (medical school electives, residency or academic fellowships) surpassed respondents’ prior awareness of these opportunities. Thirty percent student respondents expressed least some interest CI-related career,...
Background and Objectives: Pass/fail preclinical grading is associated with improved student well-being. Studies do not demonstrate differences in United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores after adopting pass/fail grading, but were conducted at unrepresentative, highly selective institutions, average increased overall during the study periods. We investigated effect of on USMLE across 96 US medical schools. Methods: Preclinical systems identified 2017 Association American...
Abstract: The use of multiple academic indicators to identify students at risk experiencing difficulty completing licensure requirements provides an opportunity increase support services prior high-stakes examinations, including the United States Medical Licensure Examination (USMLE) Step 2 clinical knowledge (CK). CK is becoming increasingly important in decision-making by residency directors because increasing undergraduate medical enrollment and limited available vacancies. We created...
<h3>Introduction:</h3> As the opioid epidemic progresses, a better understanding of those at elevated risk overdose is needed, particularly for populations whose growing may be overlooked. Medicare recipients under age 65 (Medicare-disability beneficiaries [MDBs]) are one such population. We sought to analyze characteristics opioid-overdose hospitalizations among MDBs and quantify contribution this population overall. <h3>Methods:</h3> This retrospective cohort study included patients...
Phenomenon: Because of its importance in residency selection, the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 occupies a critical position medical education, stimulating national debate about appropriate score use, equitable selection criteria, and goals undergraduate education. Yet, student perspectives on these issues their implications for engagement with health systems science-related curricular content are relatively underexplored. Approach: We conducted an online survey students...
