A & a Case Reports
|October 23, 2015
Summary
Anesthesiology residents at Penn State Hershey Medical Center now complete structured academic projects. This initiative has successfully increased resident academic productivity and manuscript publication rates.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Anesthesiology Research
Background:
- Academic productivity in residency programs is crucial for professional development.
- Structured mentorship and project support can enhance resident scholarly output.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the implementation of a structured academic project requirement for anesthesiology residents.
- To assess the impact of this program on resident academic productivity.
Main Methods:
- Instituted a mandatory academic project for anesthesiology residents starting with the class of 2010.
- Provided clear project timelines, research education, infrastructure, and ongoing support.
- Tracked project completion and manuscript publication quality.
Main Results:
- Successful implementation of the structured academic project curriculum.
- Demonstrated increase in academic productivity among anesthesia residents.
- Production of manuscripts of publishable quality by residents.
Conclusions:
- A structured approach to resident academic projects enhances scholarly output in anesthesiology.
- Clear guidelines, education, and support are key to successful implementation.
- This model can serve as a template for other residency programs seeking to boost academic productivity.

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

2.5K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

01:03Radical Formation: Overview
2.7K
A bond can be broken either by heterolytic bond cleavage to form ions or homolytic bond cleavage to yield radicals. A fishhook arrow is used to represent the motion of a single electron in homolytic bond cleavage. There are two main sources from which radicals can be formed:
Radicals from spin-paired molecules:
Radicals can be obtained from spin-paired molecules either by homolysis or electron transfer. While two radicals are formed in the former, an electron is added in the...
