Health professionals need preparation and support to work in collaborative practice teams, a requirement brought about by an aging population increases chronic complex diseases. Therefore, health professions education has seen the introduction of interprofessional (IPE) competency frameworks provide common lens through which disciplines can understand, describe, implement team-based practices. Whilst admirable aim, often this resulted more confusion with varying definitions similar...
Regulatory frameworks around the world mandate that health and social care professional education programs graduate practitioners who have competence capability to practice effectively in interprofessional collaborative teams. Academic institutions are responding by offering (IPE); however, there is as yet no consensus regarding optimal strategies for assessment of learning (IPL). The Program Committee 17th Ottawa Conference Perth, Australia March, 2016, invited IPE champions debate discuss...
The value of routine aspiration the hip joint before revision a arthroplasty remains controversial. We reviewed results such aspirations in an attempt to determine clinical or laboratory factors that could help surgeon identify hips are infected and should be aspirated preoperatively. One hundred fifty consecutive total arthroplasties were performed by one us. Preoperative was not data excluded for eight hips; no fluid obtained from these (0.7 percent 150). Of remaining 142 hips, 128 had...
This study aims at establishing the scope of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) health in Australian New Zealand medical curricula.We sent school curriculum administrators an online cross-sectional survey.The response rate was 15 schools (71%): 14 1 school. Respondents included program directors (n = 5; 33%), course coordinators 4; 27%), Heads School 2; 13%), one Dean (7%), three others (20%). Most 9; 60%) reported 0-5 hours dedicated to teaching LGBTQI content...
This AMEE guide discusses theoretical principles and practical strategies for health professions educators to promote impactful mentoring relationships. Traditional definitions are challenged, distinctions made between roles such as mentor, advisor, coach sponsor. As educational environments change options professional development expand, we argue that the traditional dyadic format of alone will not help mentees maximise their growth. Newer formats discussed in detail advantages...
Social factors associated with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) were identified among gay men attending high HIV caseload general practices in Sydney and Adelaide. Men who visited four participating invited to self‐complete a survey. A self‐screening tool (PHQ‐9), based on the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, version (DSM‐IV), was used measure depressive disorders. The rate MDD (PHQ‐9 score 10 or above) 195 HIV‐positive significantly higher than that 314 non‐HIV‐positive...
Objective To examine the relationship between depressive disorders and unprotected anal intercourse with casual partners, among homosexually active men attending for primary care. Methods The first 460 enrolling in an Australian integrated care programme were screened current using Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME‐MD) completed questionnaires on their sexual behaviour prior 6 months. One hundred sixty‐two (35%) HIV positive, 283 (62%) negative 15 (3%) untested. Results...
Extended and immersive gamified pharmacy simulation has been demonstrated to provide transformative learning in education, preparing graduates for real-world practice. An international consortium of universities implemented local adaptations the Pharmacy Game into their curricula. From early 2020, academics modified delivery response COVID-19 pandemic, while still aiming deliver important outcomes enhanced communication, collaboration, confidence competence. Australian went full lockdown...
Many commencing junior doctors worldwide feel ill-prepared to deal with their new responsibilities, particularly prescribing. Simulation has been widely utilised in medical education, but the use of extended multi-method simulation emulate doctor experience rarely reported.A randomised controlled trial compared students who underwent two, week-long, simulations, several months apart (Intervention), attended related workshops and seminars alone (Control), for a range outcome...
Facial lipoatrophy can stigmatize and reduce quality of life, self esteem, antiretroviral adherence. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) injections seem safe effective, but no randomized study has included objective endpoints.HIV-positive adults with moderate/severe facial were to 4 open-label PLA treatments administered every 2 weeks from week 0 (immediate group, n = 51) or after 24 (deferred 50). The primary endpoint was mean change in soft tissue volume (FSTV), as assessed by spiral computed...
Assessment of affective learning (AL) is difficult but important, particularly for health professional students, where it intimately linked to the development values. This study originally aimed determine whether an emotionally impactive, extended, multimethod, interprofessional simulation experience enhanced AL senior medical compared conventional seminars and workshops alone. necessitated a method assess presence quality AL.We developed "double hermeneutic" method, derived from Smith's...
Treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 with thymidine-analogue nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (tNRTIs) causes lipoatrophy, mitochondrial toxicity, and lower adipose tissue expression peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma [PPARG gene]). Rosiglitazone (RSG), a PPARgamma agonist, improves congenital lipoatrophy but not HIV lipoatrophy.Serial fat biopsies were taken from HIV-infected, lipoatrophic men randomized to receive RSG or placebo for 48...
