Speech problems affect about 66% of children with classic galactosemia (CG), but little is known about early motor and sensory motor development in this at-risk population (Rubio-Gozalbo et al., 2019). Research has been focused on speech and language development leaving a paucity of data on motor and sensory differences.

This study assesses the extent to which accredited pharmacy colleges in the United States cover pharmacoeconomics content within the didactic curriculum of their Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs. (2) Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the websites of accredited professional-degree programs in pharmacy schools located in the United States to identify pertinent content related to pharmacoeconomics.

- The study aimed to evaluate a telemedicine intervention that helps identify unmet needs and cancer-related distress (CRD) in rural cancer survivors after their treatment ends, focusing on its effects on referral patterns for supportive care.
- A quasi-experimental design compared a group receiving the telemedicine intervention with a control group; findings revealed beneficiaries were 13 times more likely to receive referrals for post-treatment care, yet only 28.6% accepted these psychosocial referrals.
- Conclusions highlighted the effectiveness of nursing telemedicine in identifying distress but pointed out the low acceptance rates for referrals, suggesting barriers like distance and stigma; further research is needed to enhance referral uptake, especially for rural survivors facing higher CRD risks.
Purpose: Rural cancer survivors have worse quality of life than their urban counterparts. Telemedicine is a potential solution to connecting rural residents with specialized cancer providers during the survivorship period, but limitations in broadband may stifle the impact. Using data from a feasibility study evaluating a telemedicine intervention aimed at connecting rural Virginia cancer survivors with their care team located at a cancer center associated with an academic medical center, we sought to evaluate the ability of rural survivors to access the intervention and suggest strategies for improving access to rural cancer survivorship care.
