Purpose To determine whether vicarious empathy (i.e., to have a visceral empathic response, versus role-playing empathy) decreases, and students choosing specialties with greater patient contact maintain better than do less contact. Method The Balanced Emotional Empathy Scale was administered at the beginning of each academic year University Arkansas for Medical Sciences four classes, 2001–2004. Students also reported their gender specialty choice. Specialty choice classified as core...

Data remain sparse on women's prodromal symptoms before acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study describes and AMI in women.

Research on faculty development has focused primarily individual participants and produced relatively little generalizable knowledge that can guide programs. In this article, the authors examine how current research in medical education be enriched by related fields such as teacher education, quality improvement, continuing workplace learning. As a result of analysis, revise old model for conceptualizing (preferably called professional development). This expanded calls educational process...

Today's doctoral programs continue to prepare students for a traditional academic career path despite the inadequate supply of research-focused faculty positions. We advocate broader curriculum that prepares trainees wide range science-related paths. In support this argument, we describe data from our survey in basic biomedical sciences at University California, San Francisco (UCSF). Midway through graduate training, UCSF are already considering broad options, with one-third intending pursue...

To determine the characteristics associated with having a mentor, association of mentoring self-efficacy, and content mentor-mentee interactions at University California, San Francisco (UCSF), we conducted baseline assessment prior to implementing comprehensive faculty program.We surveyed all prospective junior mentees UCSF. Mentees completed web-based, 38-item survey including an self-efficacy needs assessment. We used descriptive inferential statistics between mentor gender, ethnicity,...

Although medical schools espouse a commitment to the educational mission, faculty members often struggle develop and maintain their identities as teachers. Teacher identity is important because it can exert powerful influence on career choice, academic roles responsibilities, professional development opportunities. However, most initiatives focus knowledge skill acquisition rather than awakening or strengthening of identity. The goal this Perspective highlight importance members’ teachers,...

Falls in the aged may lead to increases health care utilization and declines functional status. The Longitudinal Study of Aging was analyzed test hypotheses that use system is greater elderly persons subsequent a fall preceding year than those who have not fallen fallers are more likely decline function nonfallers. One-time and, especially repeated fallers, (2 or falls year) were at risk hospitalization, nursing home admission, frequent physician contact nonfallers, after controlling for...

The authors performed a review of 30 Accelerating Change in Medical Education full grant submissions and an analysis the health systems science (HSS)-related curricula at 11 recipient schools to develop potential comprehensive HSS curricular framework with domains subcategories.In phase 1, identify domains, were analyzed coded using constant comparative analysis. In 2, detailed all existing planned syllabi curriculum documents grantee was performed, content core into subcategories. lead...

Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) can form the foundation of competency-based assessment in medical training, focused on performance discipline-specific core clinical activities.To identify EPAs for Internal Medicine (IM) Educational Milestones to operationalize residents using EPAs.We used a modified Delphi approach conduct 2-step cross-sectional survey IM educators at 3-hospital residency program; also completed survey. Participants rated importance and appropriate year training...

Introduction. Simulation-based interprofessional team training is important to ensure high-quality, safe patient care, but several barriers exist, including diverging learning needs and schedules as well limited available resources. Methods. The authors developed an in situ, simulation-based program around pediatric emergencies for physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists at their institution performed analysis of the program’s impact on self-efficacy resuscitation skills...

Among surgical trainees, burnout and distress are prevalent, but mindfulness has been shown to decrease the risk of depression, suicidal ideation, burnout, overwhelming stress. In other high-stress populations, formal training improve mental health, yet this approach not tried in surgery.To test feasibility acceptability modified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) during residency.A pilot randomized clinical trial MBSR vs an active control was conducted with 21 interns a residency...

This article describes the scholarly work that has addressed fifth recommendation of 1988 World Conference on Medical Education: 'Train teachers as educators, not content experts alone, and reward excellence in this field fully biomedical research or clinical practice'.Over past 30 years, scholars have defined preparation needed for teaching other educator roles, created faculty development delivery systems to train educators. To expanded definitions scholarship, roles criteria judging...

Context Clinical supervisors oversee trainees' performance while granting them increasing opportunities to work independently. Although the factors contributing supervisors' trust in their trainees conduct clinical have been identified, how development of is shaped by these remains less clear. Objectives This study was designed determine develop and experience resident (postgraduate years 2 3) workplace. Methods Internal medicine in-patient at two institutions were interviewed about meaning...

The authors describe a conceptual framework for implementation and dissemination science (IDS) propose competencies IDS training. Their is designed to facilitate the application of theories methods from distinct domains clinical disciplines (e.g., medicine, public health), population sciences biostatistics, epidemiology), translational social behavioral sciences, business administration education). They explore three principles that guided development their framework: Behavior change among...

Clinical competency committees (CCCs) are now required in graduate medical education. This study examined how residency programs understand and operationalize this mandate for resident performance review.In 2013, the investigators conducted semistructured interviews with 34 program directors at five public institutions California, asking about each institution's CCCs review processes. They used conventional content analysis to identify major themes from verbatim interview transcripts.The...

To examine medical students' perceptions of the fairness and accuracy core clerkship assessment, learning environment, contributors to achievement.Fourth-year students at 6 institutions completed a survey in 2018 assessing evaluation grading, environment including goal structures (mastery- or performance-oriented), racial/ethnic stereotype threat, student performance (honors earned). Factor analysis 5-point Likert items (1 = strongly disagree, 5 agree) provided scale scores perceptions....
