Background: Most postgraduate medical education tracks are faculty-led and emphasise teaching skills. A peer-to-peer medical education track focused on curriculum development and scholarship is notably underrepresented in the literature, especially within graduate medical education. To address these gaps, a 2-year Distinction in Medical Education (DIME) track was developed.

- Filter clotting significantly affects continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), with previous underexplored implications of treatment modality on filter longevity.* -
- A study at the University of Iowa evaluated filter life in critically ill patients, finding that filters used in pre-filter continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) lasted approximately 79% as long as those in continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD), averaging 21.8 hours compared to 26.6 hours.* -
- The results indicated that a higher percentage of filters in the CVVHD group remained functional beyond 72 hours and experienced less clotting, highlighting the need for further investigation into the impact of CKRT modalities on patient care
Background: Despite significant teaching responsibilities and national accreditation standards, most residents do not receive adequate instruction in teaching methods. Published reports of residents-as-teachers programs vary from brief one-time exposures to curricula delivered over several months. A majority of interventions described are one or two-day workshops with no clear follow-up or reinforcement of skills.

Method: We performed content analyses on Case Observation and Assessments (COAs) written by third-year medical students about ethical and professional issues encountered during their internal medicine and paediatrics clinical clerkships.
Results: A cohort of 141 third-year medical students wrote 272 COAs.
Objective: This case report describes a novel outpatient behavioral treatment intervention for chronic polydipsia. The program was used in an effort to reduce excessive fluid intake in a woman with chronic paranoid-type schizophrenia who also had a diagnosis of diabetes insipidus.
Methods: The 12-session individual behavioral intervention incorporated self-monitoring, stimulus control, coping skills training, and reinforcement components.
