Two successful models for preparing competent critical care nurses. The Parkland Health and Hospital System Critical Care and Trauma Nurse Internship and Critical Care Residency.

Part of the mission statement of Parkland Health and Hospital System involves participating in educational programs dedicated to the art and science of caring for the sick and injured, the promotion of wellness, and the delivery of health services. The concept of the Nurse Internship and Nurse Residency fits well in the framework of this hospital. The continued support of these programs from the PHHS administration is visible evidence of the institution's commitment to excellence. Together these programs provide a continual supply of competent critical care practitioners to meet the never-ending demand in this large county facility as well as opportunities for new graduates to begin the exciting and rewarding journey into critical care nursing.

Practice patterns of family physicians with 2-year residency v. 1-year internship training: do both roads lead to Rome?

Are there differences in patterns of practice between actively practising physicians who have been certified after a 2-year family practice residency and matched physicians without certification who have completed the standard 1-year internship? With the use of billing files prepared by the British Columbia Medical Association a group of 65 family practice certificants in active practice in British Columbia was compared with a control group of 130 internship trainees matched by year and school of graduation, category of billing (i.e., solo or group) and region. A wide range of practice features was assessed for the fiscal years 1984-85, 1985-86 and 1986-87. No differences were detected between the groups in 1986-87 for the following practice variables: number of patients (1888 and 1842 respectively), number of personal services billed for (7265 and 7173), number of personal services per patient (3.9), amount of funding for personal services ($140,192 and $140,100) and amount per patient for personal services ($77 and $79). Age-adjusted costs for male and female patients were similar in the two groups. Of six services thought to be influenced by type of training, only maternity care generated a significantly higher number of billings in the study group (341 v. 249). These results suggest that there is no demonstrable effect of training on patterns of practice. However, the question of the effect of training on quality of care and whether the 2-year residency may have a longer effect on practice patterns should be the focus of future research.

The contribution of MD-PhD training to academic orthopaedic faculties.

UNLABELLED: Little is known about the distribution of research-trained physicians across the various specialties. To document the extent to which MD-PhD programs are a source of research-trained faculty for orthopaedic departments, this study examined the specialty choices of graduates of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) from 1964 to 1994. The MSTP, a combined MD-PhD program supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, (NIGMS), produces roughly 25% of all MD-PhDs in the US. METHODS: Copies of the appendices from training grant applications containing information on MSTP graduates were obtained from the NIGMS. Also, a questionnaire was mailed to 116 university-affiliated orthopaedic surgery departments asking how many faculty were MD's, PhDs or MD-PhDs. RESULTS: Records were obtained for all MST programs. Information on postdoctoral training and/or a current position was reported for 1615 graduates who earned both MD and PhD. Of these graduates, 277 chose non-clinical paths. The other 1338 entered a residency or internship. Of these, 593 were still in residency training, 566 were academic faculty members and 130 were in private practice. In the records, 12 (0.9%) were listed as orthopaedic surgical residents (6) or faculty (6). At this time, all 12 have completed training, and 11 are in academic practice. Eighty-three departments replied to the questionnaire. In that sample of 1761 faculty positions, 1478 were MDs, 217 were PhDs and 36 (2.0%) were MD-PhDs. CONCLUSION: Despite robust support of MD-PhD programs, the number of dual degree recipients on orthopaedic faculties is small when compared to the relative size of the specialty. Other sources of research-trained staff should perhaps be developed.

A three-year follow-up study of the elimination of the internship. A comparative study of internship- and noninternship-trained residents in a psychiatric outpatient setting.

The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology eliminated the internship as a requirement for certification in psychiatry in 1970. Preliminary study on a psychiatric inpatient service of internship-trained first-year residents with that of a matched group of residents who entered the same program without the internship disclosed differences in patient care practices. The same group of residents in their subsequent years of training in a psychiatric outpatient service were compared. A chart review comparison disclosed differences in areas of management in psychiatric outpatient treatment, referral patterns, and use of medication. Supervisory ratings of the residents were found to differ substantially in nine of the 15 measured categories.

Psychiatric resident dismissal: a national survey of training programs.

The authors report on a nationwide survey of psychiatric residency training directors who responded to a questionnaire designed to elicit information on the magnitude of the problem of unacceptable performance by residents. One hundred six program directors reported on 5,591 internship or residency positions from 1981 to 1985. A total of 184 residents (3.3%) were prematurely terminated or persuaded to resign; departmental deliberations were held on an additional 139 residents (2.5%). Reasons for dismissal and indications during the selection process that a trainee might prove problematic are discussed. A provocative finding was that 37% of terminated residents were accepted into other psychiatry training programs.
