Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Continuing Care

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Coronary Artery Disease V: Interprofessional Care

Coronary Artery Disease V: Interprofessional Care

Interprofessional care for coronary artery disease includes pharmacological therapy and revascularization procedures.Pharmacological therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) aims to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve patient outcomes through various classes of medications:Antiplatelet Agents:Aspirin and Clopidogrel: These medications inhibit platelet aggregation, preventing blood clots, which is crucial for avoiding heart attacks and strokes. Doctors often prescribe these...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Cardiomyopathy V: Interprofessional Care

Cardiomyopathy V: Interprofessional Care

Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Palliative Care
Internal Medicine Training

Background:

Managing end-of-life care and palliative skills are crucial for internal medicine trainees.
Simulation offers a holistic approach to medical training and assessment.
There is a need to enhance palliative care training for generalist physicians.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a palliative medicine simulation training package for internal medicine trainees.
To enable internal medicine trainees to practice assessment and management of patients with life-limiting illnesses.
To provide palliative medicine trainees with teaching and management opportunities.

Main Methods:

Palliative medicine trainees received training in simulation and debriefing techniques.
Nominal and focus group methods were used to design the simulation training package.
Learning outcomes were aligned with internal medicine curriculum descriptors.

Main Results:

The Palliative Simulation for Internal Medicine Trainees (PALL-SIM-IMT) package meets curriculum requirements.
Regional pilot studies confirmed the feasibility of delivery by palliative medicine trainees.
Trainees reported increased confidence across all curriculum descriptors after the training.

Conclusions:

PALL-SIM-IMT facilitates competency achievement in generalist palliative care for internal medicine trainees.
The program fosters reciprocal development of leadership and teaching skills in palliative medicine trainees.
National implementation and evaluation of the PALL-SIM-IMT program are currently underway.
