Opportunities and ethical challenges for the practice of medicine in the digital era
Abstract
Technological advances have been a driving force in the practice of medicine. From the discovery of x-rays’ medical applications to the utilization of dialysis and surgical transplantation of organs, technology has presented new opportunities, and at times, ethical challenges for physicians. In recent years, the increased proliferation of social media tools has had a significant impact on how people engage with one another, and how they want to engage with their healthcare providers. Medical schools have begun to examine some of the issues surrounding use of social media in the context of professionalis...

EPAs and Competencies: Placing UME Family Medicine in a Competency Based Framework (Ryan Palmer EdD)
Competency based education (CBE) is quickly becoming the new norm in undergraduate medical education as exemplified by the AAMC's Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for Entering Residency initiative (https://www.mededportal.org/icollaborative/resource/887) as well as the numerous medical institutions that are implementing new competencybased medical education curricula. As so many medical schools are moving towards a CBE approach, it is prudent for Family Medicine (FM) clerkships to consider what an FM competencybased program can look like within the context of their own institutions so they ...

Striving for Gender Equity in Academic Medicine Careers: A Call to Action
Women represent approximately half of students entering medical schools and more than half of those entering PhD programs. When advancing through the academic and professional fields, however, women continually face barriers that men do not. In this Commentary, the authors offer ideas for coordinating the efforts of organizations, academic institutions, and leaders throughout the scientific and medical professions to reduce barriers that result in inequities and, instead, strive for gender parity. Specific areas of focus outlined by the authors include facilitating women’s access to formal and informal professional netwo...

A Call to Action to Develop Integrated Curricula in Cardiorenal Medicine.
Authors: Ronco C, Ronco F, McCullough PA
Abstract
With the adoption of the new definition and classification of cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) and its relevant subtypes, much attention has been placed on elucidating the mechanisms of heart and kidney interactions. The pathophysiologic pathways are of great interest by which acute heart failure may result in acute kidney injury (AKI; type 1), chronic heart failure accelerates the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD; type 2), AKI provokes cardiac events (type 3), and CKD increases the risk and severity of cardiovascular disease (type 4). A remarkable interest has ...

Restorative Justice as the Rx for Mistreatment in Academic Medicine: Applications to Consider for Learners, Faculty, and Staff
The mistreatment of learners is an ongoing issue at U.S. medical schools. According to responses to the 2017 Association of American Medical Colleges Graduation Questionnaire, 39.3% of medical students nationally reported being mistreated. Many articles have been published on the topic of mistreatment at medical schools over the last 20 years. These articles have focused primarily on the definition of mistreatment, the impact of mistreatment, and initiatives put into place to help mitigate the problem. To date, very little attention has been paid to repairing the harm caused by mistreatment and rebuilding community trust. ...

Women in Podiatry and Medicine
The role of female physicians has advanced among western medicine. Women now constitute a majority within medical schools, and the number of women in podiatric medicine and surgery has increased over the last 5 decades. Conversely, female physicians continue to face barriers to closing the gender gap. They have lower academic standings and fewer publications, receive less awards/grants, are underrepresented in leadership positions, have a lower incidence pursuing surgical specialties, and receive lower compensation. Women experience an increased rate of burnout, gender discrimination, and sexual harassment. Increasing awar...

Dental students' knowledge of and attitudes towards complementary and alternative medicine in Australia - An exploratory study.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite approximately three out of four of dental students in this study having little to no knowledge on CAM, attitudes towards CAM therapies, and the need to integrate them into the dental curriculum, were generally positive. Future research into identifying specific knowledge gaps could help to redesign improved dental curricula.

Importance of Mentoring on Workplace Engagement of Emergency Medicine Faculty: A Multi-institutional Study
Introduction: Mentoring in emergency medicine (EM) has not been well studied despite a larger body of literature that has described the value of mentoring in academic medicine on career satisfaction and scholarly output. Over half of all EM faculty nationally are of junior faculty ranks. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency and types of mentoring in EM, how types of mentoring in EM differ by gender, and how mentoring correlates with workplace satisfaction for EM faculty.Methods: Using descriptive statistics and chi-squared analysis, we analyzed data from a cohort of medical schools participating in the Assoc...
