The purpose of this study is to find out if an online learning module can be just as effective as in-person training for teaching anesthesia residents how to use a defibrillator. A defibrillator is a machine that helps restart a person's heart when it stops beating. The study will look at how well the residents can perform important tasks, like using the defibrillator to deliver a shock to the heart, both right after they learn and four months later. The goal is to see if the online training works as well as traditional hands-on training and if the residents prefer one method over the other.
The purpose of the study is to collect information on the training done on Telehealth and Primary Care in Medical School. This information will be collected from Internal Medicine Residents. This will then inform training curriculum and clinical experiences for Telehealth for the Residents and future medical students.
The University of North Carolina Age-Based Genomic Screening program is an innovative paradigm that aims to provide targeted and highly actionable genetic information to parents via their child's routine wellness visits. The final stage of the program involves a pilot study that will expand pediatric genetic screening in well-child care across the states. In preparation for this final stage, we will conduct interviews with parents or caregiver of children in North Carolina to inform an implementation plan, educational and training materials, and evaluation plan for the pilot study. The interviews will consist of questions aimed at assessing barriers and facilitators to the implementation of ABGS, including parents' and children's healthcare and genetic screening experiences (such as blood and saliva collection), perceptions and interest in the ABGS program, expectations and experiences with healthcare providers, and the information needed for participation decisions.
Comparing discomfort experience by patients during deep throat swab when using a flavored tongue blade vs no tongue blade.
This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of Long COVID following SARS-COV-2 infection through survey responses to better understand the condition.
We are doing a research study to understand how being treated rudely affects the decisions of anesthesiology residents. We want to see if being treated badly makes it harder for them to make good decisions during their training. This is important because it can help us make the work environment better and improve patient care.
The purpose of this study is to collect feedback and guidance from parents, healthcare providers, and therapists in the development of a pediatric feeding clinic for autistic patients. The goal is to create feeding services that are responsive to the unique needs of this populaiton.
Aim 2 is to develop a set of evidence-based cannabis warnings and identify which warning characteristics increase perceived warning effectiveness. Aim 3 is to experimentally determine if large cannabis warnings with characteristics found to be promising in Aim 2 increase risk perceptions. This research is conducted so that states can implement the findings into their cannabis warning regulations.
Purpose: Implementation of 2002 ACGME Competencies added significant burden of required documentation thus increasing the administrative time required of Dermatology Residency Program Directors (RPDs) and associative Program Directors (APDs) and impeding on faculty member's personal and family lives as a result. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the implementation of the ACGME competencies dissuaded the children of these faculty members from pursuing a career in medicine.
The purpose of the registry/repository is to provide a mechanism to store data and images to help facilitate the development of a deep learning framework for automatic, objective, fast, and accurate image quality assessment (IQA) of structural MRI data. IQA is typically performed via visual inspection by MRI technologists and can be time-consuming, subjective, and error prone. Our method will complete IQA in milliseconds with high sensitivity and specificity.
