The State of Ambulatory Undergraduate Internal Medicine Medical Education: Results of the 2016 Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine Annual Survey
Ambulatory care is qualitatively different and valuable to the health system. Given the shifts in health care that prioritize ambulatory care, internal medicine educators see benefits to learning in this environment. Internal medicine education teaches the skills necessary for managing complex patients, including those with multiple illnesses, medications, and social needs, all of which are encountered in the practice of ambulatory internal medicine.1

Point-of-care Ultrasound (PoCUS) for the internist in Acute Medicine: a uniform curriculum.
Abstract The use of Point-of-care Ultrasound (PoCUS) is rapidly increasing in internal medicine as it is useful in the primary assessment of acutely ill internal medicine patients for enhanced diagnostics and resuscitation. PoCUS can be taught in a modular fashion including basic core applications and advanced applications which can be combined for a symptom-based approach. Several PoCUS curriculum guidelines, especially for emergency medicine, exist throughout the world but a clear Dutch guideline for internists has not been developed. In this review we propose 'core' ultrasound competencies for internists that m...

The role played by traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating COVID-19 in China
AbstractTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM), an ancient system of alternative medicine, played an active role in the prevention and control of COVID-19 in China. It improved the clinical symptoms of patients, reduced the mortality rate, improved the recovery rate, and effectively relieved the operating pressure on the national medical system during critical conditions. In light of the current global pandemic, TCM-related measures might open up a new channel in the control of COVID-19 in other countries and regions. Here, we summarize the TCM-related measures that were widely used in China, including TCM guidelines, the Wuch...

Clinical features and the traditional Chinese medicine therapeutic characteristics of 293 COVID-19 inpatient cases
We reported the clinical features and therapeutic characteristics of moderate COVID-19 cases in Wuhan that were treated via the integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine. We collected electronic medical record (EMR) data, which included the full clinical profiles of patients, from a designated TCM hospital in Wuhan. The structured data of symptoms and drugs from admission notes were obtained through an information extraction process. Other key clinical entities were also confirmed and normalized to obtain information on the diagnosis, clinical treatments, laboratory tests, and outcomes of the p...

Creating a Satisfying Continuity Clinic Experience for Primary Care Trainees
The considerable gap in the primary care workforce of the United States is anticipated to widen over the next 10 to 15 years.1 Numerous physician groups have called for increased focus on primary care training in medical education.2-4 In 2009, the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandated an increase for ambulatory training during internal medicine residency, requiring a minimum of 130 half-day clinics over three years. This increased requirement presupposes greater exposure will inevitably lead to more primary care physicians, but some have argued it is increased exposure to high-quality, high-f...

The sixth row on the left – A reflection on medicine grand rounds
The following is an essay about medicine grand rounds, a weekly conference that I facilitate. As I anticipate returning to live conferencing after our two-year hiatus utilizing a virtual venue, I have been thinking about the significance of this conference and how it reflects the local identity of practicing internists. Medicine grand rounds is a unique educational activity that crosses the specialties of internal medicine. I offer no practice outcome goals as might be expected from a review course on perioperative medicine or atrial fibrillation.

Of the latter, 11 were specialty registrars, six were academic clinical fellows and three held academic foundation year posts. Eight alumni were overseas, including five in North America. Most (95%) respondents considered that their academic career goals were facilitated by the programme. Sixty-eight ...

Prevalence of use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) by patients/consumers in the UK: systematic review of surveys.
Abstract This systematic review aimed to estimate the prevalence of use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the UK. Five databases were searched for English language, peer-reviewed surveys published between 1 January 2000 and 7 October 2011. In addition, relevant book chapters and files from our own departmental records were searched by hand. Eighty-nine surveys were included, with a total of 97,222 participants. Most studies were of poor methodological quality. Across surveys on CAM in general, the average one-year prevalence of use of CAM was 41.1% and the average lifetime prevalence was 51.8%. In...
