Multiyear Outcomes of a Population-Oriented Care Redesign in an Internal Medicine Residency Continuity Clinic.

The cornerstone of ambulatory care training for internal medicine residents is the continuity clinic, which often serves medically and psychosocially complex patients. We conducted and evaluated a population-oriented redesign to improve care for "high-needs" patients and the resident experience at a hospital-based safety net primary care internal medicine practice in the Southeastern U.S.

Clinician-Educator Training and Its Impact on Career Success: a Mixed Methods Study.

Background: Clinician-educator (CE) careers in academic medicine are heterogeneous. Expectations for CEs have grown, along with a need to better prepare CEs for these roles.

Objective: To assess whether advanced education training is associated with productivity and success.

Evidence-based risk communication: a systematic review.

Background: Effective communication of risks and benefits to patients is critical for shared decision making.

Purpose: To review the comparative effectiveness of methods of communicating probabilistic information to patients that maximize their cognitive and behavioral outcomes.

Data Sources: PubMed (1966 to March 2014) and CINAHL, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (1966 to December 2011) using several keywords and structured terms.

Evidence-based medicine and primary care: keeping up is hard to do.

Primary-care physicians feel pressure to be knowledgeable, efficient, comprehensive, and compassionate while delivering evidence-based medical care. Incorporating evidence-based medicine into practice requires training in the skills of finding and applying good evidence to patients, and, increasingly, infrastructure that supports the incorporation of evidence into electronic health records. Physicians cite many barriers to the use of evidence-based medicine in practice.
