Outcomes for Hospitalized Men Noted to Have Problems Associated With Living Alone in the United States
More men live alone than ever before, and this increases their risk for mortality. In-hospital studies for men who have struggles associated with living alone have not been amply studied. We used the 2022 National Inpatient Sample to explore hospital outcomes among men with “problems living alone.” Using multivariable regression analyses, we examined in-hospital mortality, length of stay, total hospital charges, and post-discharge disposition. In…
Blind spots in medical education – International perspectives
BACKGROUND: All individuals and groups have blind spots that can create problems if unaddressed. The goal of this study was to examine blind spots in medical education from international perspectives. METHODS: From December 2022 to March 2023, we distributed an electronic survey through international networks of medical students, postgraduate trainees, and medical educators. Respondents named blind spots affecting their medical education system a…
Early childhood development strategy for the world’s children with disabilities
Early childhood is foundational for optimal and inclusive lifelong learning, health and well-being. Young children with disabilities face substantial risks of sub-optimal early childhood development (ECD), requiring targeted support to ensure equitable access to lifelong learning opportunities, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Although the Sustainable Development Goals, 2015–2030 (SDGs) emphasise inclusive education for children un…
Seeing with greater clarity
Background Although medical education is affected by numerous blind spots, there is limited evidence to determine which blind spots to prioritize.Methods In summer 2022, we surveyed stakeholders from U.S. medical education who had identified 9 domains and 72 subdomains of blind spots. Respondents used 4-point Likert-type scales to rate the extent and magnitude of problems caused for each domain and subdomain. Respondents also provided comments fo…
Cerebral palsy and developmental intellectual disability in children younger than 5 years
Objective: Children with developmental disabilities are associated with a high risk of poor school enrollment and educational attainment without timely and appropriate support. Epidemiological data on cerebral palsy and associated comorbidities required for policy intervention in global health are lacking. This paper set out to report the best available evidence on the global and regional prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) and developmental intell…
CLOSLER Reveals the Need to Create More Opportunities for Black Health Care Professionals to Share Their Perspectives
To the Editor: In 2018, our school’s Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence launched a free and open-access website called CLOSLER, 1 so named in hopes that the content would inspire us to move “Closer to Osler.” CLOSLER’s mission is to stimulate health care professionals to reflect about providing exceptional care to all patients. Every day, the site features a new article written by a health care stakeholder. Each piece has an engaging t…
How Visual Arts–Based Education Can Promote Clinical Excellence
A growing movement to integrate the arts and humanities into health professions education is afoot. While educators may easily conceive how arts-based teaching can improve clinically relevant skills such as observation and critical thinking, they may not realize it also has the potential to transform learners in myriad ways beyond sharpening these fundamental skills. In this article, the authors review how visual arts–based education can promote …
Developmental disabilities among children younger than 5 years in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2016
BACKGROUND: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mandate systematic monitoring of the health and wellbeing of all children to achieve optimal early childhood development. However, global epidemiological data on children with developmental disabilities are scarce. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 provides a comprehensive assessment of prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) for development disabili…
Patient Appreciation of Student Chaplain Visits During Their Hospitalization
Pilot study comparing patients’ valuation of health‐care services with Medicare’s relative value units
Background and aims Physician reimbursement for services and thus income are largely determined by the Medicare Resource‐Based Relative Value Scale. Patients’ assessment of the value of physician services has never been considered in the calculation. This study sought to compare patients’ valuation of health‐care services to Medicare’s relative value unit (RVU) assessments and to discover patients’ perceptions about the relative differences in in…
Association Between Funding and Quality of Published Medical Education Research
CONTEXT: Methodological shortcomings in medical education research are often attributed to insufficient funding, yet an association between funding and study quality has not been established. OBJECTIVES: To develop and evaluate an instrument for measuring the quality of education research studies and to assess the relationship between funding and study quality. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Internal consistency, interrater and intrarater rel…
