Becker's Hospital Review
Research from Kansas City-based University of Kansas suggests cultural and structural attitudes to primary care in medical training may contribute to the nation's shortage of primary care physicians.
Published in the Annals of Family Medicine, the study is based on 52 oral histories from the National Library of Medicine. Using qualitative analysis and constant comparative methods, the study found 63.5 percent of the histories studied indicated discouragement or disparagement of primary care at some point during their medical training.

Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences via Medical Xpress
For the first time, scientists at the M.M. Shemyakin and Yu. A. Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences have successfully used computer-generated simulations to study the TRPV1-receptor temperature activation phenomenon for higher organisms. The results of the experiment were published in Scientific Reports. Belonging to the TRP-receptor protein group, TRPV1 participates in the body's temperature regulation system.

Johns Hopkins Medicine via ScienceDaily
Using the results from a computerized mathematical model, Johns Hopkins researchers investigated whether they could improve heart and lung transplantation procedures by transferring patients from low-volume to high-volume transplant centers. Investigators have long observed a positive relationship between a high operative volume and improved patient outcomes across a variety of surgical procedures, meaning that the more times a medical center does a particular surgery, the better its patients do overall.

About 100 family physicians gathered in a cold, convention center meeting room lined up at two microphones, shifting from foot to foot, waiting impatiently for a turn to testify: they were all feeling the pain -- pain caused by burnout and frustration about the lack of initiatives to prevent it.
The family physicians here were testifying about two proposals asking the American Academy of Family Physicians for an immediate course correction to address burnout.

The Wichita Eagle
“Victoria” is a talking, sometimes “bleeding,” baby-delivering mannequin.
She is a $100,000 centerpiece in the HealthSim United laboratory at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, where health-professions students from the Wichita region get realistic training. The nonprofit simulation program began several years ago as a collaborative effort among health-professions schools and hospital systems across the state.

Becker's Spine Review
BMC Medical Education published the first paper demonstrating the value of neurosurgery residents using Conquer Mobile's PeriopSim simulation training platform. The study tested the impact of PeriopSim instruments training and burr hole surgery training on residents' knowledge and recognition on instruments. The study compared residents learning through just the surgical module versus learning with the surgical module and instrumentation module.

A new public opinion poll is reaffirming studies that show medical residents who work extensive shifts are putting both patients’ safety and their own safety at risk.
The poll, commissioned by Public Citizen, a national nonprofit organization, questioned 500 likely voters of various demographics and political parties about whether long work shifts for medical residents would increase risk and whether medical residents should be limited to the number of hours they can consecutively work.

 Well, this is rich, isn't it? Jonathon Bush of athenahealth says EHRs "slow doctors down and distract them from meaningful face time caring for patients." One of the nation's most-well known CEOs of an electronic health record company, Bush wrote this in an op-ed for STAT, citing the results of a new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine. While the research findings are not surprising, Bush's response is. First, let's dig into the results of the study a bit.

The Columbus Disptach
In any one of the 60 minutes of a regulation hockey game, a variety of bad things can happen on the ice. So, as the NHL season approaches, Blue Jackets players aren’t the only ones in Columbus, Ohio, training.
Recently, the team’s medical and athletic-training staff joined more than 30 Columbus Division of Fire paramedics and six emergency physicians from OhioHealth on the rink at Nationwide Arena to prepare for the worst.
