Alcoholism training in a family medicine residency

Article

Authors: Confusione, Michael Leonard, Kevin Jaffe, Arnold S.

Source: Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment (1988)

The literature in alcoholism education for the health professions reveals that despite some strides in the development of training programs, both medical students and practicing physicians exhibit negative attitudes toward alcoholics that may adversely affect the care offered to these patients. This paper presents a program of alcoholism identification and management training for family practice residents which has been developed to supplement an existing drug abuse treatment program. Residents spend four half-day sessions engaged in seminars, outpatient experiences, and inpatient rotations under the direction of a clinical psychologist specializing in substance abuse and under the direction of the medical staff of a voluntary hospital well-known as a center of alcoholism treatment. Training activities include participation in group therapy sessions with alcoholic patients, interviewing patients in the early stages of rehabilitation, participation in an adolescent alcoholism treatment program and attendance in seminars on the prevention, identification, and treatment of alcoholism. Residents' evaluations of the experience reveal overall satisfaction with the program and their roles in its conduct, but they indicate a need for more active roles in the hands-on management of emergency cases. © 1988.

This document contains the text of a 1987 Recommendation of the Commission of the European Communities on vocational training for women. Article 1 recommends that Member States adopt a policy to encourage participation of women in training schemes, especially those relevant to occupations of the future and in areas where women are under-represented. Article 2 recommends that Member States: 1) integrate training for women within a broad framework of cooperation between all parties involved; 2) staff such services with personnel trained to deal with the specific problems faced by women; 3) promote outreach activities on the part of such services; 4) provide more decentralized and widely distributed educational and training facilities; 5) promote images of women engaged in nontraditional activities; 6) encourage female participation in higher education, especially in technological areas; 7) encourage female participation in nontraditional apprenticeships; 8) encourage female entrepreneurs by offering appropriate training; 9) develop measures to promote participation of women in continuous training activities; 10) provide underprivileged women and women returning to work with specific courses designed to meet their needs; 11) provide flexible child care arrangements and financial incentives for women to participate in training activities; 12) recognize skills acquired in running a household and looking after a family; and 13) monitor the progress of women taking part in training schemes. Member States are to inform the Commission of their activities in these areas within three years to enable the Commission to create a report on such measures.

The implementation of postgraduate training programs through state and local resources

Article Open Access

Authors: Davidson, Philip W. Calkins, Carl F. Griggs, Peter A. Sulkes, Stephen B. Burns, Christine M. Chandler, Cristine L. Bennett, Francis

Source: Research in Developmental Disabilities (1987)

A profile of implementation strategies for funding postgraduate training programs using local or state resources is described. The need for those implementation strategies as well as basic principles for successful implementation is documented. Two programs are briefly described-a University Affiliated Program (UAP) in western New York and a UAP in Missouri-as the basis for generating implementation strategies. Finally a discussion is provided reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of these strategies. © 1987.

Practice preferences of primary medical care and traditional internal medicine house officers

Article Open Access

Authors: Palchik, Nancy S. Dielman, Ted E. Woolliscroft, James O. Stross, Jeoffrey K.

Source: Medical Education (1987)

Summary. In an academic medical centre between 1980 and 1985, the attitudes, preferences and career goals of house officers in a primary medical care residency training programme were assessed at entry and at the end of each house officer year. Primary care trainees who went on to practise in a general medicine setting were compared to primary care trainees who subsequently received subspecialty training and also to traditional internal medicine trainees. House officers in the primary care programme generally maintained attitudes and preferences central to the practice of primary care, and scored significantly higher than traditional track house officers on attitudes and preferences compatible with the practice of medicine in a primary care setting. However, primary care house officers who later went into subspecialty training received scores similar to those of traditional track house officers on practice preferences relating to specialty care. There were no significant differences between primary care and traditional track house officers on standard measures of knowledge and clinical skill. 1987 Blackwell Publishing

Medical school effect on student selection of physical medicine and rehabilitation as a specialty

Article

Authors: Bender, Leonard F. Dijkers, Marcel P.J.M.

Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (1986)

Of the several roads that lead to practice in the specialty of physical medcine and rehabilitation (PM&R), the most common is from a US medical school to a PM&R residency to specialty practice. To reduce the predicted shortage of PM&R physicians, more medical students must be attracted to the specialty. Past studies have failed to show success of various mechanisms, designed to expose students to the field, to attract to the residency programs. The current study was designed to further explore the medical school factors contributing to choice of the PM&R residency. The number of PM&R residents produced by each of the US medical schools was related to various characteristics of these schools: size, presence of a PM&R department, presence of a PM&R residency program. Only school size was found to explain the sizable observed variation in number of residents. Additional research incorporating quality and quantity of curricular exposure to PM&R is suggested. © 1986.

Fieldwork Supervision: Roles, Tasks and Responsibilities

Article

Authors: Barker, Joanna

Source: Australian Occupational Therapy Journal (1986)

Fieldwork constitutes approximately thirty‐five per cent of occupational therapy undergraduate programme of study. It is of concern to occupational therapy educators that the fieldwork portion of the curriculum be planned and implemented to provide educationally sound learning experiences. Whatever the level of training and experience of fieldwork supervisors, implementation of a fieldwork training programme which will provide the necessary levels of learning, is dependent on the supervisor's understanding and use of methods of supervision. These include a knowledge of learning theories, skill in directing, supervising and guiding students in the performance of desired action. This paper will focus on effective and ineffective supervisors and how an understanding of student learning styles can increase the supervisor's ability to provide quality learning experience. 1986 Occupational Therapy Australia Limited

Paramedicals' Clinical Accuracy: In 102 Cases Referred to a Provincial Hospital

Article

Authors: Pust, Ronald E. Burrell, J. Michael

Source: Tropical Doctor (1986)

A random sample of 102 cases referred in 1983 by paramedicals to the Southern Highlands Provincial Hospital, Papua New Guinea, was analysed for agreement with the final hospital diagnosis and with standardized primary care therapies. Health centre diagnosis was judged accurate in 45% of cases; inaccuracies in a further 17% had no projected health consequences. However, resulting serious sequelae could be projected in half of the incorrect diagnoses. Diagnosis of surgical cases was more often accurate (P<0.05) than in medical cases. Treatment which was adequate or standard for the diagnosis made at the health centre had been given there in 80% of cases. However, there were serious diagnostic inaccuracies in 38% of all referral cases; this study suggests a need for problem-based paramedical education in diagnosis, especially in non-surgical problems. Visits by doctors to health centres could reinforce this diagnostic teaching and better evaluate paramedicals' clinical accuracy in the health centre. © 1986, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
