The use of high-fidelity simulation in the admissions process: one nurse anesthesia program's experience.

Nurse anesthesia programs across the country are frequently in search of better selection criteria and more efficient evaluation systems. The goal is to select qualified applicants who will successfully complete the program and represent the profession of nurse anesthesia. The primary method of assessing the quality of candidates' noncognitive attributes at the Oakland University Beaumont Program of Nurse Anesthesia (Royal Oak, Michigan) was by face-to-face interviews.

Audit of the introduction of CT colonography for detection of colorectal carcinoma in a non-academic environment and its implications for the national bowel cancer screening programme.

Aim: To compare the sensitivity of double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) with computed tomography colonography (CTC) to determine whether CTC is superior for the detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) locally, and to compare the results to those of a national barium enema audit.

Materials And Methods: All patients undergoing diagnostic DCBE or CTC between January 2003 and December 2005 were identified from the picture archiving communication system (PACS). Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CRC were identified from the local cancer registry.
