From the proper treatment of children who eat insect repellents to the outcomes of prescribed sleeping pills in elderly patients, the research presented at the 6th Annual Campbell University Resident Research and Education Symposium addresses a wide variety of issues faced by more than 158 resident doctors. covered the issues. Program in Osteopathic Medicine.
A total of approximately 300 residents, faculty and fellows participated in the largest community resident research competition ever sponsored by Campbell University. Projects were grouped to focus on seven healthcare quality improvement areas recognized by CMS. mortality, readmission, safety of care, patient experience, effectiveness of care, timeliness of care, efficient use of medical imaging and testing, and new medicines and diagnostics. and academic medicine.
“This is a very important component of our education for training future physicians as medical scientists who are looking for new ways to treat patients and improve care in their communities,” said DIO Associate. said Dr. Matthew Huff, Post Director at -Graduate Affairs, Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine.
Of the 158 posters, only 12 were selected as category winners and 3 as overall project winners.
A large classroom of attendees who stayed at the top of the overall project and ultimately for the final presentation, chosen by the jury, by Dr. Malcolm Vaught, Audrey Petteruti, Antonios Anagnostopoulus, and Campbell School of Medicine graduate Laila Hussain are all residents of Cape Fear Valley Health in Fayetteville. Dr. Samuel Fleishman served as faculty advisor.
“This is a fairly common problem in hospital systems, where patients often cannot sleep while they are there,” said Vaught (pictured above, left) in the final presentation. “Our goal was to ensure that the drugs we were providing to the elderly patient population were [over 65] may have actually benefited them or caused harm or adverse effects. ”
Other project winners were “Readability at Discharge: Comparing Reading Levels for Patients and Caregivers,” from a UNC Health Southeastern resident, and “Inpatient Readability with EMR Refresh,” from a Conway Medical Center resident. improved outcomes in sepsis”. The UNC Health Southeastern team was composed of Ph.D. Gregory Griffin, Ashley Keene, Amrissa Jacob, Michael Harris, and Dr. Elizabeth Gignac are faculty advisors.

“No candy?” Child Repellent Ingestion, by Dr. Stephen O’Neill of UNC Health Southeastern, was named the “Most Influential” presentation of the evening. Dr. Jillian Merica was the faculty advisor.
Huff said that in evaluating the presentations and posters, the reviewers evaluated quality improvement and medical practice, quality of the study and study design, evidence of the conclusions reached, and quality of the posters and presentations by the lead authors. rice field.
“This event will decentralize Campbell University-sponsored residency and fellowship programs so that they can work together to meet ACGME’s requirements to create an environment for academic research,” said Hough. . “Furthermore, this gathering will enable resident physicians and faculty to meet, share knowledge, and collaborate with other Campbell residents, fellows, and faculty in an academic environment that fosters problem- and systems-based learning using the latest evidence. It provides an opportunity to build relationships.”
All works at the symposium are eligible for publication through peer-reviewed journals and may incorporate feedback by faculty mentors and jurors at the symposium to enhance their work before submission for publication. .
According to Associate Dean of Graduate Relations, Robin King Schiele, Ph.D., Campbell College of Medicine partners with 12 regional hospitals in North and South Carolina to provide clinical residency experiences for students and to support six hospitals. We partner with the system to offer graduate medical education and training programs.
Campbell continues to serve as a sponsoring agency for 23 ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs today, with more than 351 residents and fellows trained in six hospital systems and Campbell University. Campbell has 424 approved residency positions and two pending program applications in progress. The program includes 13 specialties across six hospital systems, of which 195 resident physicians work in the primary care areas of family and internal medicine. There are an additional 149 positions in areas identified as needing to be included, including 68 in emergency medicine, 38 in psychiatry, and 43 in surgery.
“Our expansion of medical student and resident training will prepare and educate the next generation of physicians to meet the needs of rural and underserved North Carolina, the Southeastern United States, and countries. It’s essential to fulfilling the mission of the school,” Dean said. Dr. Brian Kessler.
