Women with unilateral breast carcinoma are at increased risk for developing contralateral (CBC). The authors sought to identify predictors of malignant or moderate high-risk histologic findings in prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) specimens, and determine the efficacy CPM.The performed a retrospective review 239 patients early-stage who underwent CPM. number CBCs expected if had been left intact was calculated based on CBC rates observed Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database...
Abstract Background Boarding patients in the emergency department (ED) potentially affects resident education. Program director (PD) perceptions of impact boarding on their trainees have not been previously described. Methods We surveyed a cross‐sectional convenience sample medicine PDs using mixed‐methods approach to explore how has affected residents' training. Descriptive data were reported as percentages and differences calculated Pearson's chi‐square test, with p < 0.05 considered...
Mentorship is vital to foster personal and professional growth. Speed mentoring a newer model of mentorship that introduces trainees several potential mentors. The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) hosts speed event at its annual meeting. During the COVID-19 pandemic, meeting transitioned virtual format. This study compares participants' attitudes towards in-person mentoring. Medical students, residents, faculty mentors completed biographical sheet inform pairings facilitate...
Introduction: In 2012 the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) introduced Next System (NAS), which implemented milestones to assess competency of residents and fellows. While attending evaluation feedback is crucial resident development, perhaps equally important a resident's self-assessment. If does not accurately self-assess, clinical professional progress may be compromised. The objective our study was compare emergency medicine (EM) milestone by EM faculty with...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency medicine (EM) residency programs have transitioned from traditional in-person to virtual synchronous didactics comply with social distancing guidelines. This study explores perceptions of EM residents and faculty regarding this new format.
The two most recent National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Match cycles saw a high number of initially unfilled emergency medicine (EM) residency positions. We sought to identify the risk EM program characteristics including accreditation duration, primary clinical site ownership status, and geography pertaining not filling all performed repeated cross-sectional observational study programs participating in 2022 2023 NRMP used publicly available data from NRMP, Accreditation Council for...
<ns5:p>Background At the conclusion of residency candidate interview days, faculty interviewers commonly meet as a group to reach conclusions about evaluations based on shared information. These ultimately translate into rank list position for The Residency Match. primary objective is determine if post-interview discussion influences final scores assigned by each interviewer, and investigate whether interviewer characteristics are significantly associated with likelihood changing their...
Physician assistants (PA) are an important part of emergency department healthcare delivery and increasingly seeking specialty-specific postgraduate training. Our goal was to pilot the implementation a PA program within existing physician residency produce medicine-PA (EM-PA) graduates comparable skill their counterparts who have received equivalent length EM training date (evaluated at end first year training).The curriculum based on Society for Emergency Medicine Assistants (SEMPA)...
There are sparse data on the career pathways of graduates emergency ultrasound fellowships. The authors sought to define characteristics and their reported paths after training through this survey study.A 26-question anonymous was emailed 597 70 fellowships over a 4-week period. No incentives were provided for completion questionnaire. Descriptive statistics reported. For qualitative data, open- axial-coding methods used.A total 336 participants completed study response rate 56%. average age...
In 2012 the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education implemented trainee milestones as tools clinical competency committees to use evaluation, feedback, remediation, and promotion purposes. Prior this innovation, there has not been an adequate method capture, organize, graphically illustrate evaluations by attendings in a simple, fast organized fashion.We created novel, web-based, mobile-friendly evaluation tool help fill identified gap. The survey-based program creates...
As the role of resident-as-teacher grows, some residents are inspired to develop themselves early as leaders in education while training. We describe successful implementation a resident liaison (RL) medical students emergency medicine (EM) way education.
Following resident requests, we created a public metrics dashboard to inform residents of their daily productivity. Our goal was iteratively improve the based on feedback and measure impact reviewing aggregate data self-perceived productivity.A 10-question anonymous survey completed by our postgraduate year 1-3 residents. Residents answered questions rated own productivity before after peer-comparison data. Using Wilcoxon signed-rank test calculated summary statistics for compared...
<ns3:p>Background Medical educational societies have emphasized the inclusion of marginalized populations, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) population, in curricula. Lack can contribute to health inequality mistreatment due unconscious bias. Little didactic time is spent on care LGBTQ+ individuals emergency medicine (EM) Simulation based medical education be a helpful pedagogy teaching cross-cultural communication skills. In this study, we sought determine...
Introduction: The focus of residency training is to ensure that graduates attain a minimum level skills and knowledge in order be able practice independently. While there are multiple formal methods evaluate resident, paucity literature describes whether programs have residents perform individual self-assessment (ISA) with the development individualized learning plans (ILP) better themselves. We sought investigate current state emergency medicine (EM) using ISA determine these assessments...
Abstract No single historical, physical, laboratory, or imaging finding is both sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Cervical motion tenderness (CMT), when present, classically found on bimanual examination cervix uterus. CMT often associated with PID but can be present in other entities. We a case report patient who was ultimately diagnosed acute PID. The evaluating physician performed trans-vaginal bedside ultrasound, operator appreciated...
Abstract Background Challenging clinical environments faced by emergency departments (EDs) have led to operational changes including implementation of vertical care units and fast‐track units. Little is known regarding the impact such on resident physician education. Methods A retrospective, observational study was performed at an urban quaternary ED evaluating effect opening a unit with triage directing lower acuity patients be seen associates (PAs)/advanced practice registered nurses...
