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.

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.

vocational training in france and britain: The building trades

Article

Authors: Prais, S. J. Steedman, Hilary

Source: National Institute Economic Review (1986)

The emphasis placed in Germany on vocational training and education was explored in previous studies by the Institute. These drew attention to: the greater numbers with vocational qualifications there than in Britain; the generally broader scope of German training, leading to greater adaptability in the face of technological progress; more extensive preparation at school for subsequent training; and the consequences for productivity (see National Institute Economic Review, August 1983 and February and May 1985). This article presents the first of a series of similar comparisons for France and Britain, with particular attention to French full-time vocational secondary schools for 14-17 year olds. © 1986, Sage Publications.

Graphic literacy: Part ii. a recent study

Article Open Access

Authors: Sofo, Francesco

Source: Vocational Aspect of Education (1986)

The first part of the article (published in the December 1985 issue) reviewed the literaturè on graphic literacy particularly in relation to vocational education. In this second part of the article, a study conducted by Sofo (1984) on graphic literacy in the workplace is described. Although the area of graphic literacy remains relatively unexplored, Sofo's study demonstrated that adolescents with the poorest reading comprehension abilities benefited more from illustrations, tables, charts, figures and graphs than did the able readers. A major recommendation of the study is for further research to be conducted which would clarify how graphics materials assist comprehension and how they could be most beneficially utilized within vocational training courses. © 1986 The vocational Aspect of education Ltd.

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.
