The "July Effect" is here again! This phenomenon points to the increase in medical errors and complications with the influx of newly graduated medical students starting their residencies in teaching hospitals each July. While research results vary, patient safety remains a crucial concern during this transition period. The importance of robust training, supervision, and standardized protocols is emphasized to ensure new residents deliver high-quality care from day one. Addressing the July effect is key to improving patient outcomes and instilling confidence in healthcare systems. Although this concept may be new to some, systematic literature reviews have delved into its details. While evidence on its benefits or drawbacks is inconclusive, its impact on medical data quality, patient outcomes, and treatment patterns cannot be overlooked. Share your thoughts in the comments below. Have you encountered the July effect before? Let's discuss! #julyeffect #medicalschool #scientificwriting

“Paging all medical students, professionals, and those in the #healthcare field or aligned professions! Our new workshop, Art, Well-Being, and Medicine, explores the #visualarts as a valuable tool for elevating awareness in many areas related to healthcare practice and delivery. Participants interested in learning more about the intersection of #medicine and #humanities will consider how engaging with works of art can strengthen perception and make us better listeners, observers, and communicators.”

"Including PROMs in medical education can provide an opportunity for future physicians to develop a measurable, patient-centered approach from the onset, giving them the skills to deliver personalized care that aligns with patients’ values and goals," write Samuel Florentino & Judy Baumhauer in a letter about Robin Whitebird et al.'s study in #CORR.

Academic medical centers provide patient care as well as education for healthcare providers. Most U.S. states have just a few of these specialized hospitals, but New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania stand apart with 17 each. If you're targeting providers with experience at AMCs, check out our recent Healthcare Insight to see which states made the top 10—and which states have no academic medical centers at all.

As my MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice ramps up with dissertation time, I have decided to explore paramedics and pre hospital medical providers skills in recognition of critically ill patients. In particular, I am interested in clinical intuition, gestalt, and essentially the use of 'system one' Vs 'system two' in quickly assessing a critical patient, bypassing all the various tools such as NEWS scores etc, which require time in obtain vitals etc. Guts feeling......intuition.....feeling....how do we quantify it? Can we teach it? What is your experience? #MSc #advancedclinicalpractice #ACP #paramedic

Very good article for education, learning and improving patient care. It is good guide for me also to add valuable learning information/tools to the Internal Medicine Residents teaching Palliative Care-Hospice Principles. ABC of good patient oriented communication.

The countdown to the Europe Patient Centricity & Engagement Conference in Amsterdam has begun. On November 13th Victoria Harvey-Jones PhD will present the need to embed patient into education. She'll be discussing: 📣 Where are we today with integrating the patient perspective into healthcare and HCP-patient/caregiver communication? Why is change needed? ⏰ Why the time is now to integrate lived experience into medical education for HCPs  🌎 How medical education for HCPs can evolve, including patient integration, to provide a comprehensive holistic approach that has impact and supports advancing patient outcomes Don’t miss this chance to learn about how this approach can transform the future of healthcare. For more information, please contact Victoria Harvey-Jones PhD. #PatientIntegration #MedEd

Transform your CPD approach with Antonio Pilotto! Topic: Barriers and enablers in implementing competency-based CPD activities in healthcare: A scoping review and application to osteopathic settings. Most CPD curricula in healthcare worldwide are content-based. However, recent evidence from several medical institutions supports a shift to a competency-based framework as the most effective way to foster competence in health professionals. Antonio Pilotto, with his MSc in Medical Education, will take you through the barriers and enablers influencing this shift. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and apply them to your osteopathic practice! 👉 Full program: https://lnkd.in/gQgJyfsm #OsteopathyAustralia #CPD #MedicalEducation #Osteopathy #HealthcareInnovation #CompetencyBasedLearning
