The Master Adaptive Clinician Educator: A Framework for Future Educational Leaders in Academic Medicine.

Medical education continues to evolve with technologic advances, cultural changes, and progress in the application of learning theories. One example is Cutrer's concept of the Master Adaptive Learner (MAL), where the trainee self-directs learning and innovates to maintain a level of expertise in a domain. We suggest that this concept can be applied alongside ideas of adaptive and teacher expertise to represent the medical educator of the future-the Master Adaptive Clinician Educator (MACE).

Polysubstance-Induced Hepatotoxicity and the Role of Supportive Management.

With the continued rise of polysubstance use throughout the country, it has been shown to affect a multitude of organ systems. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has been widely documented in its association with salicylates or acetaminophen and the utility of using N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for its hepatoprotective effects. However, DILI caused by illicit drug use and guideline-directed management has had little research.

New ACGME Clinician Educator Milestones as a Roadmap for Faculty Development: a Position Paper from the Society of General Internal Medicine Education Committee.

Traditionally, clinician educators are tasked with the responsibility of training future physician workforce. However, there is limited identification of skills required to fulfill this responsibility and a lack of consensus on effective faculty development for career growth as a clinician educator. The newly released Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Clinician Educator (CE) Milestones framework outlines important skills for clinician educators and provides the opportunity to create robust faculty development.

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) in Diabetes Mellitus: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder of the peripheral nerves which can lead to gradually increasing motor and sensory loss. It can be a difficult entity to diagnose, particularly in elderly patients with a history of Diabetes Mellitus due to their overlapping neuropathic syndromes. Reported is a case of CIDP in an elderly female who manifested multiple sensory, motor, and autonomic complaints.

Twelve tips for mindful teaching.

Medical educators' stressors continue to increase, and they increasingly find themselves removed from their learners. This distance is thought to contribute to the disenchantment many educators feel. The challenge for educators is to reengage with their learners and restore their satisfaction in teaching.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) sepsis complicated by warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia secondary to antimicrobial therapy.

A 61-year-old Caucasian woman presented to the emergency room complaining of left-sided chest pain and altered mentation for 3 days. Her medical history included liver cirrhosis and coronary artery disease. On admission, she was found to have methicillin-resistant (MRSA) bacteraemia.
