Medical History Memorialized: The Origins and First Decade of the Canadian Bulletin of Medical History / Bulletin canadien d'histoire de la médecine (1979-94).

This chapter explores doctors’ white coats and the White Coat Ceremony (W.C.C.) in the context of North American medical history and teaching professionalism in the undergraduate medical curriculum at Memorial University of Newfoundland (M.U.N.), Canada. The first W.C.C. was held at Columbia University’s medical school in New York City in 1993 and was quickly adopted by almost every medical school in the United States and Canada, and in almost 20 other countries worldwide. At M.U.N., the W.C.C. has evolved from being a low-key event to a gala social affair reminiscent of convocation exercises. What distinguishes the W.C.C. at M.U.N. educationally is the author’s role as a historian of medicine who in classes with first-year medical students explores the social and political context of the oath they are required to take, explicates the public symbolism of the event, and examines students’ experiences through reflective essays that they write. Contrarily, and perhaps ironically given the intent of this book, Connor eschews any bioethical agenda. The author uses the W.C.C. at M.U.N. and his pedagogy surrounding it here as a case study to illustrate that while students may be carefully taught, perhaps more importantly students need to carefully think (pace Rodgers & Hammerstein).

To the Editor: A recently identified novel missense variant of TSP-4, A389P (29926 G>C) was correlated with premature myocardial infarction (MI) by an exploratory genetic association study on 184 MI patients from the American population.1 In this study, the TSP-4 387P allele showed the strongest association, with an adjusted odds ratio for MI of 1.89 ( P =0.002 adjusted for covariates) for individuals carrying the 387P allele. This was replicated by the same group using a larger number of patients.2 An in vitro functional study of the TSP-4 A387P substitution provided further evidence in support of a proatherogenic effect. The TSP-4 A387P substitution was shown to have a gain of function effect leading to suppression of endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation.3 The TSP-4 A387P variant also shows ethnic distribution differences. The TSP-4 387P allele showed a dramatically lower prevalence in Asian Chinese populations compared with whites (3.8% versus 19.6 to 23.2%) and failed to associate with coronary artery disease (CAD) or MI in the studied populations.4–5 Interestingly, in a more recent investigation, the TSP-4 variant 387P allele was significantly associated with reduced risk, rather than increased risk, for premature MI (OR=0.43, 0.22 to 0.85) in Netherlands whites.6 Therefore, the true effect of TSP-4 A387P in MI remains unknown. We believe that the contradictory results may be caused by either population genetic mixture or the effects of different modifiers for the TSP-4387P allele among the different ethnic populations. We examined the TSP-4 A387P variant as part of our study to explore potential gene variants as risk factors for MI and the effect of interaction between different variants on MI. …

Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) established its medical school in 1967 to meet the growing demand for physicians and alleviate the reliance on other Canadian and international medical schools for physicians. However, it is unclear how many of the graduates remained to practise in Canada and in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). We conducted this study to identify the characteristics and predictors of MUN medical graduates working in Canada and NL after residency training. We linked data from class lists, and alumni and postgraduate databases with data from the Southam Medical Database to determine 2004 practice locations for MUN graduates from 1973 to 1998. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors for working in Canada and in NL. Of the 1322 MUN graduates in our study, 1147 (86.8%) were working in Canada and 406 (30.7%) in NL in 2004. Predictors of physicians working in Canada included female sex (odds ratio [OR] 1.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-2.04), being from Canada (OR 3.71, 95% CI 1.15-2.21), graduating in the 1980s (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.02-2.24) and 1990s (OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.31-3.09) and having done some or all residency training at MUN (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.53-9.01). Predictors of physicians working in NL included having a rural background (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.04-1.81), being from NL (OR 9.23, 95% CI 5.52-15.44) and having done some or all residency training at MUN (OR 5.28, 95% CI 3.80-7.34). The MUN medical school has made a substantial contribution to the local physician supply, producing over half the physicians working in the province in 2004. Initiatives to increase national and provincial retention of medical graduates include attracting rural students to medical careers, increasing admission of local students and providing incentives for graduates to complete their residency training in the province.

Abstract
 Objectives: The prevalence of student food insecurity at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) is relatively high (58.0%) compared to the national population (12.7%). We explored the relationship between food security status, perceived health, and student experience among MUN students.
 Methods: Through an online survey of returning MUN students at the St. John’s campus, we assessed food security using Statistics Canada’s Canadian Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM), and self-reported physical health, mental health, and stress. We used logistic regression to compare health and stress ratings between students of different food security levels. We thematically coded open-ended responses to describe students’ experiences related to food insecurity.
 Results: Among the 967 study eligible students, 39.9% were considered food insecure, 28.2% were moderately food insecure, and 11.7% were severely food insecure. After controlling for significant predictors, students who were moderately or severely food insecure were 1.72 [95% CI:(1.20,2.48)] and 2.81 [95% CI:(1.79,4.42)] times as likely to rate their physical health as ‘fair’ or ‘poor’ than food secure students, and 1.66 [95% CI:( 1.22,2.27)] and 4.23 [95% CI: (2.71-6.60] times as likely to rate their mental health as ‘fair’ or ‘poor’ than food secure students, respectively.
 Conclusion: Food security level experienced by MUN students was closely related to their perceived physical and mental health. As food security level worsened among participants, their self-reported physical and mental health also worsened. Health professionals working with university student populations should screen for food security and consider its relationship to students’ health.

Part of the mandate for social accountability of medical schools is to address physician needs at the local, regional and national levels. We determined the work locations in 2014 of medical graduates of Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) and identified the characteristics and predictors of working in urban and rural areas of Canada and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). We linked data from class lists, and alumni and postgraduate databases with data from the Scott's Medical Database to determine work locations in 2014 of MUN medical graduates from 1973 to 2008. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of working in urban and rural areas of Canada and NL. Of the 1864 graduates in our study, 1642 (88.1%) were working in Canada, 638 (34.2%) in NL, 217 (11.6%) in rural Canada and 92 (4.9%) in rural NL in 2014. Predictors of physicians working in Canada included having a rural background, being from NL and graduating in the 1980s, 1990s or 2000s. Predictors of physicians working in NL included having a rural background, being from NL, graduating in the 2000s and having done some or all of their residency training at MUN. Having a rural background and being a family physician were predictors of working in rural Canada. Having a rural background, being from NL, having done some or all residency training at MUN and being a family physician were predictors of working in rural NL. Most MUN graduates were working in Canada in 2014, with about one-third remaining in NL and much smaller percentages working in rural communities, especially in rural NL. These findings have implications for the physician supply in NL.

We linked the Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) postgraduate database with Scott's Medical Database to determine 2004 work locations of physicians who started residency training at MUN by 1998 to assess whether international medical graduates (IMGs) are as likely as MUN and other Canadian medical graduates (CMGs) to work in Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). In 2004, 66.8% of the residents were in Canada (87.8% MUN graduates, 47.3% IMGs, 67.3% CMGs) and 18.8% were in NL (43.2% MUN graduates, 7.9% IMGs, 4.8% CMGs). Compared to MUN medical graduates, IMGs and CMGs were less likely to work in Canada and NL.

With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, health decision-makers needed trustworthy evidence to help answer many questions, and they needed it quickly. During 2020, the Cochrane community worked with partners to find ways to respond to this situation and meet the needs of evidence users. This Supplement to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews collects initiatives involving Cochrane groups, in the form of short reports.The Full Text of this article is available as a PDF.

One of the most significant community development initiatives in Canadian history was sponsored by Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) from 1960 to 1982. Fieldworkers employed by MUN Extension worked across the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, engaging in strategies of community change that included social action, citizen participation, public advocacy, local services development, and popular education. The fieldworkers were guided by a philosophy of community development that positioned their work as politically neutral, non-directive, and educational in nature. In the latter 1970s, this philosophy—along with the community development practices it supported—was challenged by institutional changes that required fieldworkers to engage in externally directive projects oriented towards natural resource development. This historical case study of the evolution of community development philosophy and practice in Canada has important implications for contemporary scholars and practitioners elsewhere. Those implications include the importance of understanding both the institutional politics of organizations through which community development work occurs and the socio-political realities of the communities served by those organizations. Readers of this article will appreciate its nuanced account of a major community development initiative and will be inspired to reflect upon the institutional and socio-political context of their own work.

THE ARCHIVE OF THE Maritime History Group contains materials indispensable to the study of Newfoundland, the North Atlantic fisheries, and the merchant shipping of the British Empire. The archive is also a rich treasure for labour historians. British merchant shipping legislation, reflecting the concern of the British state to maintain a healthy merchant marine, required unusually thorough documentary accounts of the industry and its labour force. After 1867 the Dominion of Canada continued to apply most of this legislation. For no other industry in British or Canadian history do we possess such complete information on the labour force and the workplace during the transition from pre-industrial craft to large-scale capitalist production. Most of the records for this industry are contained, either in the original or on microfilm, in the archive which Keith Matthews and his colleagues assembled at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
