Revised Bloom's taxonomy as a mentoring framework for successful promotion.

Introduction: Promotion is both a rewarding and challenging milestone in an academic career, and the process is enriched by intentional mentorship. Junior faculty often seek a stepwise mentorship approach that allows them to accurately self-reflect on their progress toward promotion, while more seasoned faculty may benefit from guidance on how to effectively mentor their colleagues through the process.

Perspective: Fortunately, the revised Bloom's taxonomy, the same tool commonly utilized to guide curricular development and assessment, serves both of these purposes very effectively.

Refining interprofessional, outpatient transitions of care services to reduce hospital readmissions.

Rationale, Aims And Objectives: Transitions of care between healthcare facilities are associated with increased risk of adverse events and hospital readmissions. Previous studies employing pharmacists in transitions of care showed reduced 30-day readmissions, however, many were without an active comparator. There is no standardized approach to pharmacist involvement in transitions of care services, making it difficult to ascertain where pharmacist expertise is most meaningful.

Clinic-Level Population Health Intervention by PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residents to Optimize Medication Management in a Self-Insured Employer Health Plan Population.

Background: Postgraduate year 2 ambulatory care pharmacy residents (PGY2 residents) may be able to improve healthcare quality by providing clinical pharmacy services provided to self-insured employer health plan patients. The objectives of this study are to describe this care delivery in a family medicine clinic, and to identify patients most likely to benefit from the service.

Methods: From October 1, 2014 till June 30, 2015, comprehensive medication review was completed by PGY2 residents for patients insured by CU Anthem at the University of Colorado Westminster Family Medicine.

Evaluation of Statin Prescribing for Secondary Prevention in Primary Care Following New Guideline Recommendations.

Background: The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol recommends high-intensity statin therapy for most patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) versus previously recommended low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets. The impact of the ACC/AHA guidelines on prescribing patterns in primary care is uncertain.

Objective: To describe the prescribing habits of statin therapy in primary care patients with ASCVD before and after the ACC/AHA guidelines were published.
