Developing a Comprehensive Perioperative Education Curriculum for Internal Medicine Residency Training
The Journal of Education in Perioperative Medicine : JEPM
|March 31, 2018
Summary
This study details adapting a perioperative curriculum to meet new Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)/American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) requirements for complex surgical patients. The new curriculum ensures educational and clinical needs are met.
Area of Science:
- Internal Medicine
- Medical Education
- Surgical Care
Background:
- Increasing complexity of surgical patients necessitates enhanced perioperative care by internists.
- Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) now require specialized education in perioperative medicine.
- Growing involvement of internists in perioperative management highlights a critical educational gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the adaptation of a perioperative curriculum at an institution.
- To address the educational needs for internists involved in perioperative care.
- To align curriculum with ACGME/ABIM requirements.
Main Methods:
- Perioperative education is integrated into the General Internal Medicine Consult Service rotation.
- This inpatient rotation offers comprehensive perioperative training.
- The curriculum includes inpatient consultations and outpatient preoperative evaluations.
Main Results:
- The implemented curriculum successfully meets ACGME/ABIM requirements.
- Both educational and clinical needs of the institution are addressed.
- The program provides essential perioperative expertise to surgical teams.
Conclusions:
- Developing new medical curricula can be challenging.
- This explanation offers a model for institutions creating perioperative curricula.
- The described approach aids in establishing effective perioperative educational programs.

02:00Internal Energy
36.9K
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

01:29Internal Energy
7.1K
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules or entities in the system. The kinetic energy of an individual molecule includes contributions due to its rotation and vibration, as well as its translational energy. The potential energy is associated only with the interactions between one molecule and the other molecules of the system. Neither the system's location nor its motion is of any consequence as far as the internal...

Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

According to statistical moment theory, mean residence time (MRT) is an important measure in pharmacokinetics. MRT can be defined as the expected mean of a probability density function distribution. It provides valuable insights into drug disposition in the body.
After the administration of a drug through intravenous bolus injection, the drug molecules are distributed throughout the body and remain there for varying periods. The MRT represents the average time these drug molecules stay in the...

The International System of Units, known as the SI system, is a universally accepted measurement system recognized and used worldwide. The SI system is based on a set of three base units considered absolute, and their values do not change with location. These base units are meters, kilograms, and seconds.
Prefixes are used to define both larger and smaller quantities in the SI system. For example, milli, micro, and nano define smaller quantities, while kilo, mega, and giga are used to define...

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.
