Professional medical associations (PMAs) play an essential role in defining and advancing health care standards. Their conferences, continuing education courses, practice guidelines, definitions of ethical norms, public advocacy positions carry great weight with physicians the public. Because many PMAs receive extensive funding from pharmaceutical device companies, it is crucial that their guidelines manage both real perceived conflict interests. Any threat to integrity must be thoroughly...

Abstract The timely delivery of the most up‐to‐date medicines and drug products is essential for patients throughout world. Successful scaling bioreactors used within biopharmaceutical industry plays a large part in quality time to market these products. Scale topology differences between vessels add degree complication uncertainty process. Currently, this approach primarily achieved through extensive experimentation facile empirical correlations, which can be costly consuming while...

In the present study, influence of particle shape on suspension prismatic α crystals and needle-like β within l-glutamic acid polymorphic system was analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Numerical modeling a stirred tank performed Fluent 6.3.26. The RNG k−ε turbulence model Eulerian multiphase were used to simulate solid phase. A novel user-defined function (UDF) employed calculate drag induced by particles. simulation suspensions performed. simulated solids heights successfully...

We report the findings of a detailed assessment various options for computational two-fluid RANS simulations an aerated agitated 2-L bioreactor equipped with single baffle and several dip tubes. The were carried out by using commercial flow solver ANSYS/Fluent. Our focus was on (1) outlet condition at liquid's surface (i.e., including air head space in simulation yes or no); (2) choice between steady-state Multiple Reference Frames (MRF) approach modelling impeller rotation dynamic Sliding...

Ratings of videotaped interviews with simulated patients were compared four other measures commonly used to evaluate medical students during their psychiatry clerkship. Intercorrelations among self-reported attitude change, written examination grade, and student rating satisfaction the clerkship suggest that each different processes. Low but significant correlations between preceptor ratings interaction skills data-gathering process content scores based on an end-of-course interview method...

From 1969 to 1979 senior medical students from the University of Colorado School Medicine entered psychiatric residencies at an average rate 3.8%. The university gradually instituted a series changes in its undergraduate education program for students, and class 1980 was first be exposed all changes. In 1980-1982 7.7% seniors went into residencies. authors describe curriculum speculate that more attention quality students' level enhances recruitment

The American College of Psychiatrists conducted research to validate the content outline Psychiatry Resident In-Training Examination (PRITE) and assess what residency training directors think about examination.A mail survey was sent 218 psychiatry who subscribe PRITE.The response rate 70%. A majority respondents indicated agreement with relative emphasis given each area in PRITE (range = 52%-80% agreement). Eighty-one percent were strongly favor continuing practice releasing examination...

A major focus of state-university collaboration programs in psychiatry has been providing services and manpower from the university to public mental health system, which turns provides valuable educational experiences university. The Program for Public Psychiatry, a program Colorado, was founded on 25-year relationship between department at University Colorado Health Sciences Center Division Mental Health. enabled Colorado's two state hospitals most its urban community centers almost...

When he laid the groundwork for modern standards of training psychiatrists, Freud (1937) asked, "Where and how is poor wretch to acquire ideal qualifications which will need in his profession? The answer is, an analysis himself" (p. 248). Fromm-Reichmann (1950), equally important influence on psychiatric education, echoed this sentiment when she professed that "any attempt at intensive psychotherapy fraught with danger, hence unacceptable, where not preceded by future psychiatrist's personal...

This report describes the integration of an electrochemical micro-interface immiscible fluids in a hollow microneedle. The purpose such novel sensor platform is to detect concentration drugs bodily fluids. Although use liquid interfaces known electrochemistry, this first time that its was attempted at microneedle platform. benefits are ability without need extraction physiological fluid, and contrary standard techniques, capacity ionic species aren't susceptible redox processes. able drug...

A hospice program (HP) was established on the medical service at Denver Veterans Administration Medical Center (DVAMC) for care of terminally ill cancer patients and to integrate such into house staff training. two-bed inpatient unit managed by an intern, a resident, attending physician with aid multidisciplinary team. During program's first year, 29 were cared average stay 26 days. Twenty-nine out possible 33 officers returned questionnaires evaluating their experience. Twenty-eight...

The purpose of this study was to track the progress a cohort graduates psychiatry residency training programs in achieving certification by American Board Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). These data provide detailed picture how recent perform on ABPN's examinations.The subjects for were 739 new candidates who sat part I examination fall 1994. cohort's performance II examinations analyzed, as relationship between two examinations.Approximately 8 years after their first attempt at examination,...
