Summary
A state-wide symposium enhanced family medicine resident research, leading to national presentations and publications. This initiative successfully integrated scholarly activity into residency training programs.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Family Medicine Research
- Scholarly Activity
Background:
- Limited literature exists on integrating research curricula into family medicine residency.
- Developing and assessing resident research programs is crucial for training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of a state-wide resident scholarship symposium.
- To provide a platform for family medicine residents to present scholarly work.
Main Methods:
- Established an annual resident scholarship symposium in 2003.
- Residents submitted abstracts in case presentation, quality improvement, or clinical research categories.
- Presentations were evaluated by a panel, with awards given.
Main Results:
- 238 residents presented 176 research projects.
- 15 projects presented at the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) conference.
- 9 projects published in peer-reviewed journals; resident evaluations were positive.
Conclusions:
- The symposium provided a platform for residents to present scholarly work to a larger audience.
- Resident projects presented and published nationally demonstrate the symposium's success.
- This model effectively supports the integration of research into family medicine training.

04:49Robbers Cave
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension could be...

Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

01:26National Nursing Organizations I
Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...
01:18Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

01:26Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...
