Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups

Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and...

Background:

Over 25% of the U.S. population has a disability, creating a demand for physicians knowledgeable in disability care.
Current medical training may not adequately prepare physicians to meet the needs of patients with disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess medical students' exposure to and preparedness for caring for patients with disabilities.
To evaluate the effectiveness of Special Olympics online modules in improving medical student training for disability care.

Main Methods:

Three Qualtrics survey studies were conducted.
Investigated clinical rotation exposure, nationwide perceived preparedness, and module effectiveness.

Main Results:

Medical students generally reported feeling unprepared to care for patients with disabilities.
Special Olympics online modules significantly enhanced student physicians' training and preparedness.

Conclusions:

There is a critical need to improve medical education regarding disability.
Special Olympics online modules represent a viable educational tool for medical school curricula.
