PrEP-aring stylists: Development of a stylist educational workshop to increase PrEP awareness and knowledge among Black women in the US south .

Background: Black cis-gender women are disparately affected by HIV and require prioritization in prevention efforts, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Preparing trusted community leaders such as salon stylists as health-based opinion leaders may be promising to increasing awareness, knowledge, and uptake of PrEP among Black women.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is 99% effective at preventing HIV. Still, Black women's uptake remains at 2% due to multiple documented barriers, including lack of awareness and knowledge, mistrust, stigma, and low perceived risk.

The purpose of this study was to determine the rate and type of MRPs attributed to rehospitalization within 30 days of discharge from a general internal medicine hospitalists' service at a nonacademic medical center. A retrospective cohort study was conducted evaluating consecutive patients readmitted within 30-days after discharge to home from an internal medicine hospitalist service.

Vertically integrated educational collaboration between a college of veterinary medicine and a non-profit animal shelter.

The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS) at Texas A&M University (TAMU) has developed a multifaceted program in partnership with the Brazos Animal Shelter to provide teaching opportunities with shelter animals during all four years of the professional curriculum. In the first three semesters of the professional program, students working in small groups spend two hours per semester at the shelter performing physical examinations, administering vaccinations and anthelmintics, completing heartworm or FeLV/FIV testing, and performing simple medical treatments. In an expanded fourth-year program, groups of six students spend 16 contact hours at the shelter during two-week rotations, completing similar tasks.
