Evaluation of Knowledge Acquisition with a Practice Management Course for Anesthesiology Residents: A Pilot Study
The Journal of Education in Perioperative Medicine : JEPM
|August 13, 2019
Summary
A new practice management course significantly improved anesthesiology residents' knowledge of essential nontechnical skills. This training is feasible and effective for senior residents, enhancing leadership and financial acumen.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Anesthesiology
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Physicians require nontechnical skills like leadership and financial management for patient care.
- Attending anesthesiologists are expected to manage practices efficiently.
- Current anesthesiology residency programs lack uniform training in practice management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a novel practice management course for anesthesiology residents.
- To assess the effectiveness of a specialized rotation in developing nontechnical skills.
Main Methods:
- A 1-month Ambulatory Anesthesiology-Practice Management Rotation was implemented for senior residents.
- The rotation included roles like operating room manager, online modules, readings, and billing exercises.
- Knowledge acquisition was measured using pre- and post-rotation tests.
Main Results:
- Twelve of 14 residents completed the course and tests (86%).
- Post-course exam scores (61.49%) were significantly higher than pre-test scores (42.7%) (P < .004).
- The curriculum demonstrated a significant improvement in resident knowledge.
Conclusions:
- A practice management curriculum is feasible for anesthesiology residents.
- The 1-month rotation effectively improved essential practice management knowledge.
- This training supports the development of physician anesthesiologists as effective clinical leaders.

01:21Pilot and Numeric Relaying
482
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

530
Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

01:28Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management
338
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

01:05Noncompartmental Analysis: Mean Residence Time
585
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...

02:16Light Acquisition
9.4K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

01:16Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
835
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...
