Understanding Internal Medicine Residents' Rheumatology Knowledge Base.

Rheumatology is one of the internal medicine subspecialties that residents train to become proficient in during their internal medicine training. Our study sought to understand how residents across all postgraduate year levels felt in terms of comfortability and exposure to rheumatology. We focused on the subjective measurement of resident knowledge and exposure rather than objective data. A five-question survey was distributed to all 75 residents of Lenox Hill Hospital's Internal Medicine categorical residency program, from PGY1 to PGY3. When asked if they get enough exposure or feel confident treating patients with rheumatology diseases, 96% of residents responded no. When asked about their confidence in boards, the average response was a 3/10. The residents at our program voiced a strong concern for lack of exposure and education. Other studies and institutions have shown this to be a problem that has also been seen with poor testperformance on the subject. We explore educational modalities to help improve this gap in education.

Sometimes I still do not see myself as a computer scientist: Negotiating a computer science identity as a Latina undergraduate and youth mentor

This study puts forth the counternarrative of the first author Gislaine, a first-generation undergraduate student, Latina, and computer science major. Gislaine participated in a research internship and STEM mentorship program led by the second author, Meredith. Through this program, Gislaine designed and taught CS lessons to predominantly low-income, African-American middle school students over an 8-day urban summer school program. By analyzing Gislaine’s written account of her journey to CS, as well as planning documents and written reflections on her daily experiences mentoring youth, we explore how Gislaine’s intersecting social identities shape her experiences both as a CS learner and as a mentor to youth. Gislaine’s counternarrative illuminates the systems of oppression present in schools and the CS field, while also highlighting Gislaine’s transformative approaches to mentoring students in CS. Gislaine’s narratives emphasize the importance of humanizing CS and leveraging students’ strengths to promote equitable access to CS education. Through her experiences, she underscores the significance of recognizing and addressing systemic barriers, while also advocating for inclusive and empowering educational practices.

Research impact assessment: Developing and applying a viable model for the social sciences

Abstract Prompted by research funding agencies and regulatory bodies, universities need to demonstrate and manage the impact of their research. Therefore, models for evaluating research impacts that can be applied quickly and at a reasonable cost are needed. However, the development of these models presents considerable challenges: research impact is multidimensional and can occur over time because of multiple interactions between different agents. Furthermore, impact assessment can demand substantial time and resources. Considering this challenging context, this study proposes a research impact assessment model capable of optimizing benefits and costs. The model was based on a multidimensional impact perspective and an application-oriented way of generating and transmitting knowledge. It was applied to a large teaching and research institution with a predominant role in the social sciences. The assessment involved a survey of the leaders of 133 research projects. The main findings of the application of the assessment model were as follows: first, knowledge production is transitioning from a traditional mode (aimed to impact science) to a new mode (aimed to impact multiple stakeholders); second, project leaders still perceive the prevalence of scientific impact over other types of impact; and third, the survey revealed how certain characteristics of the knowledge production mode relate to (perceived) impact. The viable research impact assessment model was demonstrated to be useful and cost-effective; thus, with adaptations and improvements, it may be used by other institutions, particularly those with internal research funding programs. This article also presents the model’s limitations, suggesting directions for future research.

Morbidity and Mortality Conferences in Internal Medicine Specialty Training in Japan: A Nationwide Cross-sectional Study.

Objective This study evaluated the implementation status of morbidity and mortality conferences in internal medicine specialty training programs in Japan. Methods This cross-sectional study surveyed hospitals in Japan with certified internal medicine specialty training programs. Program directors or equivalently responsible physicians managing certified internal medicine training programs were invited to participate in this study (n=619). Materials Data were collected using an online questionnaire that included questions about the number of morbidity and mortality conferences, types of cases covered, collaboration of the patient safety section and other health professions, and whether or not the conferences were conducted by a subspecialty department-led or program-based. Results Responses were received from 123 hospitals (19.8% response rate), of which 59 (48%) had some form of internal medicine morbidity and mortality conference in place. The average number per year was 9.63 (standard deviation: 18.12). Hospitals with morbidity and mortality conferences in subspecialty departments held significantly more conferences than X (please define X). Furthermore, the involvement of the patient safety department tended to be associated with holding more conferences. Autopsy rates were significantly higher in hospitals with program-based internal medicine morbidity and mortality conferences than subspecialty-led. Conclusion Internal medicine specialty training hospitals had more morbidity and mortality conferences than previously reported. Program-based morbidity and mortality conferences in internal medicine are associated with higher autopsy rates and may lead to an organizational reporting culture and lifelong learning attitudes that support patient safety. Collaboration with organizational management sections, such as patient safety, would be effective in implementing these conferences in internal medicine training programs.
