Veterinary oncologist Craig Clifford loves clinical trials. Why? Because they give him early access to some of the newest treatments and therapies, and provide cutting-edge care to patients at a decreased cost - or even completely free. Dr. Clifford goes over how to find clinical trials and how to evaluate if a particular trial is the right fit for you, from covered expenses to how placebos are used and how many follow-up visits will be needed. The information and results gathered from clinical studies help to get treatments and medications fully approved, making them accessible to more of our beloved dogs.

As our listeners already know by now, to be licensed to practice medicine, physicians in most states must complete a minimum of three years of postgraduate medical education, called residency training. Each specialty offers its own residency program, but all must follow specific, standardized criteria created by the ACGME—the American College of Graduate Medical Education. If programs fail to meet these criteria, they will not be credentialed by the ACGME, and graduates will not be licensed to practice medicine. Recently, the ACGME announced revisions to residency training for Family Physicians, and I'm privileged to be joined today by two family physicians to discuss the proposed changes. Dr. Mark Huntington is the director of the Center for Family Medicine at the South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine, and Dr. Rishi Patel is a family physician and a relatively recent graduate of residency training.

"If I had $100 for every time I walked into a patient’s room, introduced myself as the doctor, and was immediately asked, 'Hey, how old are you?' I might be able to retire right now — at the age of 28. Of course, I am exaggerating, and yet this question echoes for my baby-faced colleagues and me constantly. Whether it’s simple curiosity or blatant reverse-ageism, I find this question erodes trust before it is built. I haven’t yet found an agreeable way to bypass it. I usually just state my age before quickly moving on. Rarely, some congratulate me on my accomplishments given 'such a young age.' But these felicitations are like writing in the sand, which quickly wash away in the waves of emotions I begin to feel the moment they ask me that question." Sneha Shah is an internal medicine chief resident who blogs at Insights on Residency Training, a part of NEJM Journal Watch. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Does your doctor’s age matter?" (https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/09/does-your-doctors-age-matter.html)
Like many parts of life during the COVID-19 pandemic, medical education has had to adjust to necessary restrictions on in-person training, meetings and classes. While patient safety comes first, training the next generation of medical professionals needed to continue during the ongoing pandemic.

In this episode of the GW Integrative Medicine podcast, we talk about a nutrition education collaboration between the Department of Physician Assistant Studies and the Integrative Medicine Programs here at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In the studio, we have Susan LeLacheur, DrPH, MPH, PA-C, a professor in the Department of Physician Assistant Studies at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Dr. LeLacheur has more than 35 years of clinical experience in primary care, HIV/AIDS, and infectious disease. She is the section director for the GW PA Program's Foundations of Medicine Gastroenterology Section, and the driving force behind PA nutrition week. Dr. LeLacheur and Dr. Leigh Frame developed this nutrition curricula. As the authors of a JAMA opinion piece recently put it, "Nutrition education in medical school is rudimentary, at best, and limited for the duration of graduate medical education for many specialties." Doctors and PAs are educated the same way and suffer the same educational deficit. The goal of the PA nutrition week curriculum is to give PAs in training the knowledge, skills, and confidence that studies say prevent health care professionals from counseling their patients about nutrition. ◘ Related content GW Department of Physician Assistant Studies https://smhs.gwu.edu/physician-assistant/ Physician Assistants Ideal for Patient Nutrition Education https://www.physicianspractice.com/blog/physician-assistants-ideal-patient-nutrition-education Food Deserts in D.C. | NPR | Let's Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQeorPkPLmU Nutrition Education in Medical School, Residency Training, and Practice https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2729245 PA Experts Respond to Pressing Nutrition Questions https://www.aapa.org/news-central/2019/03/pas-ask-experts-pressing-nutrition-questions/ Nutrition in Medical Education: A Systematic Review https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(19)30171-8/fulltext ◘ Transcript https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/transcript-nutrition-education-answering-call-gw-office-of/ ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

Dr. Roochi Arora, a medical oncology fellow at the Juravinski Cancer Center at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario discusses the promise and challenges of competency-based medical education, which has been widely adopted across Canada. Educators believe this new paradigm in medical education will improve the quality of clinicians despite potential challenges. Transcript ASCO Daily News: Welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Geraldine Carroll. In today's episode, we're discussing a new paradigm in medical education. It's called Competency Based Medical Education, also known as CBME. CBME has been widely adopted in medical oncology residency training programs across Canada and beyond. And educators believe this new learning and assessment approach will improve the quality of clinicians, despite potential challenges. Joining me to discuss the promise and challenges of competency based medical education is Dr. Roochi Arora, a medical oncology fellow at Juravinski Cancer Center at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Dr. Arora reports no conflicts of interests relevant to this podcast, and full disclosures relating to all Daily News podcasts can be found on the episode pages. Dr. Arora, welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. Dr. Roochi Arora: Thanks so much for having me, Geraldine. ASCO Daily News: Research presented at ASCO's annual meeting last year suggests that CBME improves trainee’s confidence and abilities. So, Dr. Arora, is this not happening in the traditional, time-based medical education model? Dr. Roochi Arora: Well, I would say that the traditional, time-based model has been used for a number of years with very good success. And our Canadian medical education system has produced some excellent physicians over the years. However, there's definitely room for improvement. And given that our profession as physicians, we're a self-regulating body, CBME gives the opportunity for more accountability and more transparency when it comes to our postgraduate training. The purpose of it is really to improve the confidence we have in our trainees, our medical educators, and the public at large in the abilities of the physicians that are being trained in our system. ASCO Daily News: Can you give me an example of how the tools and process of CBME had a positive outcome for both a trainee and the patient that he or she served? Dr. Roochi Arora: Oh, definitely. I have a really good example of this, actually. So very recently a resident in our program was working in the clinic, and at the same time she was providing coverage for the chemotherapy suite. So, while she was working in clinic, she was actually called to the chemotherapy suite to assess a patient because they had a reaction. So, the resident went upstairs, but the physician actually also went with her. And he watched the resident manage the reaction, and in real time the physician was then able to give her immediate feedback based on everything he'd observed and how she handled the entire encounter. So, it was wonderful for her, the resident, not just for learning in the moment, but actually later as well. Because the physician later wrote her a reference letter and was able to comment on her excellent leadership and collaborative skills. And he actually described the example of when he watched her managing that reaction in the chemo suite. And, of course, the patient benefited as well, because they had the resident managing them with direct oversight of that physician. And then the resident is now much more confident moving forward in her ability to manage future reactions that patients may have in the chemotherapy suite. And then this, in turn, increases the confidence that patients have in the abilities of the physicians that are being trained in our system. ASCO Daily News: OK, so you're saying CBME is making both the trainee and the evaluator much more accountable in real time. Having more transparency is excellent, but this process does take more time. So, what do you say to those who are concerned about the extra time required for everyone involved in CBME and the extra cost involved? Dr. Roochi Arora: Yeah. That's definitely a great point that you raise, and I think it's certainly something we can't ignore. CBME is definitely going to require some more resources, at the very least in the beginning as we get it off the ground. So, faculty members are going to need to be available to do direct observation and provide trainees with immediate feedback, and postgraduate programs will need to have academic coaches as well as a competency committee. And all of this, of course, is added on top of their existing clinical, administrative, research, and personal obligations. So, I think CBME poses a lot of possible benefits and merits to trainees and to the public at large, but we do need to remember that we're still in the very early stages of acquiring evidence to support CBME as a better educational model compared to our traditional, classic time-based educational model. So, for that reason, I think it's very important for us to continue to study CBME moving forward to make sure that all of our efforts in launching it are fruitful, and that we're also troubleshooting along the way. ASCO Daily News: So, looking ahead then, what lies ahead for CBME in Canada and elsewhere? Dr. Roochi Arora: Well, I would say definitely in Canada, educators seem very hopeful that CBME is going to improve the quality of clinicians that are produced in our system, despite the potential challenges along the way. And the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada is very supportive of further efforts to study the merits of CBME, as well as ways to better incorporate it into our educational system. The Royal College has done a number of things, such as offering educational research grants and funding to support further study and evidence development on CBME. ASCO Daily News: Well, we'll be watching to see how CBME develops further in Canada and beyond. So, Dr. Arora, I want to thank you for joining me today on the ASCO Daily News Podcast. Dr. Roochi Arora: Oh, well, thank you so much for having me. ASCO Daily News: And thank you to our listeners for joining us for this episode of the Daily News Podcast.

Carol Bernstein, M.D. is a Board Certified psychiatrist who is Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Vice Chair for Education in Psychiatry and Director of Residency Training in Psychiatry at the NYU School of Medicine. She is also a Past-President of the American Psychiatric Association and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the Board of Regents of the American College of Psychiatrists. Dr. Carol engages in a deep conversation with Elizabeth about the differences between burnout and depression, the loss of connection among caregivers, the loneliness and isolation — all these factors that are causing the highest suicide rate ever recorded in the healthcare system. According to Dr. Carol, some of the reasons for this suicide escalation can be found in the quality of our current leaders, and the hope lays on the features of the future leaders who could introduce the changes we want to see in this field. Key Takeaways: [:33] Dr. Carol Bernstein career briefing. [1:16] How did Dr. Carol get interested in the mental area? [4:07] Suicidal increment in health care. [6:21] The emphasis on making money is compromising the quality of patient care. [6:54] Loss of connection, loneliness, and isolation among caregivers. [7:45] Burnout is not depression. [10:40] How do we talk about burnout? [14:23] Is language perpetuating the problem? [15:38] Fear Of Missing Out (FOMA) [19:30] This is an anxious generation. [23:11] People are living longer with chronic illness so the experience of the illness is as important as the illness. [27:02] The healthcare system is in need of the right leaders.

Today, I'm broadcasting the second interview I recorded live at the Physical Therapy NEXT Exposition & Conference back in June. I want to thank the APTA for arranging this great interview on what's a very important topic for the profession. Each year at the convention, the John H.P. Maley Lecture Award is presented to an APTA member who has demonstrated clinical expertise and a significant contribution to the physical therapy profession. The lecture is considered to be one of the highlights at the APTA's NEXT Conference & Exposition. This year's lecture was awarded to Dr. Tara Jo Manal. It's titled Strike While the Iron is Hot. I really love that topic. Dr. Manal was a Founding Co-Chair of APTA's PT Now initiative, is Director of Clinical Services and Residency Training at the University of Delaware's Physical Therapy Department, as well as an associate professor at the DPT program at the University of Delaware. She is board certified in orthopedics as well as sports physical therapy. Her focus is translating the evidence and how it could be implemented into clinical practice. I spoke to Dr. Manal about the importance of standardized practice and how we can prevent the unwanted variation, which can be such a challenge when there's so much information and a variety of treatments available to us today. This is an important topic whether you're a clinician, an administrator or a patient. Settle in and take a listen and of course make sure to share it with your friends and family on social media.

Session 31 Dr. Kristen Sahler is a community-based Neurologist who specializes in headache medicine. She has been practicing for four years outside of her fellowship and she shares with us what drew her to it and her advice if you're interested in it. [01:28] Her Path to Headache Medicine Kristen knew she was going to be a neurologist when she was fourteen years old having been motivated by having a family member with Tourette's syndrome so very early on, she was learning about it and about the brain and got fascinated by all of it. She then hyper-focused on that pathway and never gave up on it. As for getting into headache medicine, it wasn't on her radar until her third or fourth year of medical school on her neurology rotation where she was sent to see a headache consult. She became fascinated by the patient's story and thought her interesting visual aura was cool and learned about migraine. By the end of medical school, Kristen has already carved out that headache was the field for her which was confirmed as she went through residency every step of the way. What she likes about the field is how interesting it is having all these strange phenomenon and visual disturbances. But essentially, she has always been interested in the central nervous system and in neurotransmitter systems which hearkens back to his brother with Tourette's syndrome. With migraine, it's predominantly common with the serotonergic system which she's interested in. "I like that there were so many treatment options and that we could really turn the course of someone's life around." Additionally, she was interested in Parkinson's disease being a neurotransmitter-based disease but she didn't feel as much excitement seeing the inevitable decline of patients experiencing it since you can't change the course of their disease. Whereas a lot of the other primary headache disorders have disorders that can change people's lives taking them from being completely disabled an in pain everyday to nearly pain-free. [04:37] Traits that Lead to Being a Good Headache Specialist Kristen cites patience as the one skill she uses the most day-to-day considering how headache patients don't give the greatest history. You don't always know how to describe they're feeling so you need to guide them through it to get the information out of them that you need. Another trait is liking the detective work because there are so many things that can cause a headache and not each one is a migraine or whatnot so you need to be able to fuss out what the underlying causes are. Lastly, you need to okay with psychiatry because there's a lot of overlap between headache disorders and psychiatric disorders. In particular, migraine is comorbid with anxiety, depression, and bipolar so she sees a lot of people with psychiatric co-morbidities which she's not managing but she needs to be able to be patient with them ad help them cope through these things. "If you're somebody who does not like to deal with psychiatry, it's probably not a good field for you." Alternatively, if you're really interested in psychiatry, you could choose to manage both issues. In neurology, they study a good amount of psychiatry so you could choose to be a headache specialist and also manage their anxiety or depression and just choose to do both. Kristen though doesn't like to manage the psychiatric issues because she feels she's not up-to-date on the management side of it but she's comfortable seeing patients with those diseases. Kristen says she never thought of any other specialty pulling her from her path to neurology. Although she was interested in some fields but she never once thought they were the right field for her. She thought psychiatry was interesting but when she looked to the day-to day of what a psychiatrist does, she knew it wasn't for her. She thought internal medicine is the best field because for her the most impressive people went into internal medicine. She practically thought of them as rock stars but she knew still that it wasn't the field for her. She wanted to be that person who was going to dig her hole really dip and narrow and just do headache but do it really, really well. [08:03] A Typical Day in the Life of a Headache Specialist Kristen is doing outpatient for majority of the day. She takes some calls at a local community hospital but not very often. She's usually in the office for seven hours seeing office patients, new consults, or follow-up visits for patients she's already seen. She predominantly does headache so she is a 75% headache specialist and the other 25% is being a general neurologist dealing with a variety of issues including dementia, epilepsy, Parkinson's multiple sclerosis. The reason being is that she's in a multi-specialty group so her referral days is a group of primary doctors, OB/GYN's, pediatricians who want to have somebody with general neurology skills. She also likes to have a little bit of general neurology since some days, she feels like she's seen so many really complicated headache patients back-to-back which can be emotionally and cognitively exhausting so having someone coming in with, say, a carpal tunnel syndrome is nice break for her. If you're in a headache specialty center as a headache specialist and you're only doing headache and you're not going to be doing any general neurology at all. But her typical day is just seeing patients in the office, managing callbacks, medications, and emails that may come in. Patients may call in complaining about a bad migraine so she spends about an hour everyday speaking with them on the phone and helping them through it. [09:55] Types of Procedures She does procedures for patients too. This is another trait she wants to point out if you want to be a good headache specialist is that you should like procedures. Kristen does simple procedures such as nerve blocks, trigger point injections (focused on muscles, neck, head, and shoulders) as well as another type of nerve block called the sphenopalatine ganglion block which is a catheter that goes up through the nose to block the nerve cluster behind the sinuses and she also does Botox for chronic migraines They're all relatively simple procedures which you can do in the office. They are quick and easy and they relieve pain very effectively and they're pretty lucrative, relatively speaking for the amount of time it takes to do them. "It's a nice supplement to the day-to day of being a headache doctor since you're not just sitting and talking all the time because sometimes you're doing things with your hands." Not to mention, these are very low-risk procedures and the complication rates are pretty much next to nothing. They're very low-stressed procedures but they can help the patients a lot. Another procedure she does are lumbar punctures but if you don't want to do them, you're going to need to refer them out to get them done somewhere else. [11:38] Taking Calls and Work/Life Balance Kristen works at a stroke center and they don't have any other support. They have a neuro hospitalist who's in the hospital from 9-5 Mon-Fri so she's never torn away to the hospital and she can just focus on her office these times. But every once every two weeks, she will have a shift from 5pm - 9am where she's on call for any hospital issues. Generally, they get an acute stroke code around every other day so it all comes down to luck. For example, she got a stroke code at midnight and had to get out of bed, go to the hospital to see the patient, give them TPA, admit to ICU, and go back to bed. That is unfortunately the reality of taking call at a stroke hospital but most headache doctors don't do the stroke call coverage. Again, this is because Kristen still does a bit of neurology so she's involved in a general neurology coverage group that she's doing these calls. "Most headache specialty centers don't have the kind of call that would require you to go in after hours." Kristen says she has a fantastic work/life balance which is partly her own choosing because she had chosen to only schedule patients 32 hours a week. She split her days up, some days longer while others shorter but she only schedules patients for 32 hours a week, doing an extra hour a day doing phone calls and messages which adds up to about 36 hours a week of clinical work which she thinks is a perfect number for her considering she has two young kids so she still has to take care of family and she wants to have the time to do this with them and not rush the time. With headache, you have that freedom over your schedule. If you're at a surgical center, you can just set your office hours and decide what works for you. [14:25] Residency Training and Competitiveness The road to residency training includes doing an intern preliminary year although Kristen thinks you can't do a transitional year for neurology. it has to be a preliminary year then do a neurology residency for three years and then one year in headache fellowship. "There's more and more headache fellowship positions every year. It's really an expanding field." Kristen did her fellowship at St. Luke's Roosevelt in New York City. After finishing your headache fellowship, you have to take the board certification for headache medicine. If you didn't take the boards, you could still call yourself a headache specialist, just without that additional board certification. Also, you have to do the neurology board certification after your neurology residency. Kristen thinks Headache Fellowship was competitive when she applied for it only because there were fewer headache fellowship spots. But now, the number of spots available in the last four or five years has nearly double so it has become less competitive now than before. Because it's becoming a popular field and people are knowing more about it, more schools are now starting their headache fellowships. She adds that if you want to be a headache specialist, you will be able to get into that position and find that role. Additionally, Kristen says a lot of neurologists get really turned off by headaches since they feel like patients are demanding and crazy although she feels otherwise seeing that her patients are in a lot of pain, are suffering, and they have some anxiety and depression who are the patients that need the most help. So she never got turned off by it. Alternatively, the majority of neurologists pursue neuromuscular. Kristen says that more often than not, you're going to end up being the only person in your class of neurology residency that wants to do headache. "The diagnosis for primary headaches disorders are made by clinical criteria, no blood tests, no nerve tests, no MRI, nothing. So you need to be confident in your ability to look at a pattern and identify that as being a certain diagnosis." [17:50] How to be Competitive for Headache Fellowship Kristen recommends getting involved in either headache research or in the Move Against Migraine Campaign by the American Migraine Foundation which is a political campaign and also a social awareness campaign. "13% of the country has migraine. !8% are women and 6% are men." The campaign seeks to educate people on how common it is and how debilitating it is and help getting more research money to go to migraines so they can get more treatments for people. Kristen is involved in helping spread the word for such campaign. And if you just start offering your help, this would be very impressive to anybody in the headache world. [19:13] DO's, Subspecialty, Primary Care, and Other Specialties Kristen doesn't see any negative bias towards DO and nobody couldn't even tell who was a DO in their residency because nobody cared. Moreover, Kristen explains there are no further subspecialty within headache. But she has colleagues that focus more on one type of headache which is easier to do for migraine. There are some headache specialists known as the "migraine guru" as well as those known for being the go-to specialist if you need in-patient management. So you can essentially carve out a niche for yourself. In terms of working with primary care providers, she would want them or anyone referring any patients to her to not give them any opioids or any Butalbital medications. A lot of patients come to headache specialists who have been managed by primary care for a period of time and they're given Butalbital-caffeine combination medicine, for example, just to help them get to the neurologist and help their pain until they see a neurologist. Unfortunately, those types of medications worsen migraines and a lot of headaches. Not to mention, that they can develop dependency on them. Kristen recommends that if you're worried the patient has to wait a certain amount of time and you worry about their pain, don't give them a pain pill. She prefers for them to call her and talk to her to ask to get them in sooner rather than have to see them in three to four weeks and have to not only manage their headaches but help them detoxify from such medications since headache specialists don't use those kinds of medicines in headache. Nevertheless, Kristen welcomes any type of headache issue primary care providers would send in her way. Aside from primary care, other specialties she works the closest with include internal medicine, OB/GYN, pediatricians, psychologists, and psychiatrists for co-morbidities. [23:25] What She Wished She Knew About Headache Medicine Kristen would have wanted to learn early on how to cope with failure. As a headache specialist, she is often the third neurologist they've seen or the third headache specialist they've seen and they've already tried everything in her toolbox but you can't cure all people. This was hard for her when she first started. "When you're a young physician of any kind, you put your heart and soul into every day and you really invest yourself in it and if someone doesn't get better and you feel like you failed, that's tough." It took Kristen a little bit of time to process that and learn how to not take it as a personal failure but to learn how to conceptualize it and move past it although this might be one of the skills that you just have to learn as you go. [24:35] Most and Least Liked Things About Headache Medicine Kristen likes the ability to help to people and seeing that huge impact they can have in someone's life, helping them get back to work, get them functioning, and be a better mother or spouse, and basically get them back to their lives and feel good about their themselves. What she likes the least is the failure part since you're going to see the toughest cases so you're not going to always have those wins. She really dislikes the stroke call she takes but again, for most headache specialists, it's not going to be part of the deal. She also would have hated the different psychiatric co-morbidities if she was asked four years ago, but she has now adapted to it and understands it so much better now alongside her skill sets that have already expanded. [26:15] The Future of Headache Medicine Kristen mentions a new and exciting class of drugs coming into the market soon called the CGRP antagonists which are monoclonal antibodies targeting the one of the main neuropeptides that transmits migraine pain signals which is probably going to hit the market in 2018 to early 2019. This is the first preventative medication for migraine specifically targeted just for migraine which she sees as a very exciting new treatment and revolutionary in terms of migraine management. She thinks this is going to spur a lot of new research since they will definitely expand off of this and look at other pain neuropeptides and develop other monoclonal antibodies to them. "The field is going to grow bigger and we will have more tools in our toolbox to be able to treat migraines." [27:15] Last Words of Wisdom If she had to do it all over again, she would have chosen the same being a very big fan of headache medicine. She thinks it's one of the most interesting parts of neurology and one of the most rewarding parts. On the flip side, it could also be one of the most difficult parts but she likes the combination. Finally, Kristen's advice to those interested in this field is to make sure you're interested in the information. Make sure you like reading about the central nervous system or neurotransmitters and that you don't hate psychiatry and that you can find the passion in the information since you're going to need to really delve nitty-gritty into these systems and if you hate all that stuff then that's telling you something. So make sure you like what you're reading or the process of learning about the brain and just go from there.

Many creative access countries are among the poorest and most needy in the world, yet Christian witness is limited. Effective primary care is an essential component of all health systems. Locally trained Family Medicine specialists can provide excellent primary care in limited resource settings. With some constraints doctors from “the West” are welcome in creative access countries to develop residency training in Family Medicine. The lessons learned from eight years of Family Medicine training in Afghanistan will be discussed with particular attention to those lessons that are applicable to other creative access countries.
Is it possible to do true academic style residency training at mission hospitals in developing countries? Does the lack of resources and scarcity of mentors result in inferior training and therefore inadequately trained graduates? What governmental or regulatory bodies are involved in non-university based training programs in the developing world? Do short term visiting faculty really make a difference? How can spiritual discipleship be woven into medical and surgical residency training? During this breakout session, Dr. Carol Spears (missionary surgeon and Assistant Program Director at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya) and Dr. Agneta Odera (Kenyan physician in her third year of General Surgery Residency Training at Tenwek) will share their experiences in starting and developing a General Surgery Training Program in partnership with the Pan African Academy of Christian Surgeons. They will share their own stories of challenges, mistakes, areas of ongoing deficiency, as well as helpful hints, blessings, and personal stories. The goal of this session is to provide a minimal set of requirements needed for a successful residency training program and to provide information on resources available to assist new programs. The approach of training others to then go and train others models the example Jesus established in his ministry on earth.
Like many parts of life during the COVID-19 pandemic, medical education has had to adjust to necessary restrictions on in-person training, meetings and classes. While patient safety comes first, training the next generation of medical professionals needed to continue during the ongoing pandemic.
