Background: There is limited data on the effectiveness of training interventions to improve the delivery of bad news.
Methods: This preliminary research included pre-post assessments and an open-ended survey to evaluate the effectiveness and perceived value of training on delivering bad news for 26 first- and second-year fellows from five adult and pediatric fellowship programs.
Results: There was a significant increase in faculty assessment scores (34.
Background: Critical care trainees were integral in the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic response. Several perspective pieces have provided insight into the pandemic's impact on critical care training. Surveys of program directors and critical care trainees have focused on curricular impact.

Objective: To pilot the combination of a novel, real-time provider teaching intervention delivered by subspecialists to Internal Medicine trainees with a traditional patient education and medication reconciliation (PEMR) intervention and to assess the impact of these interventions on provider knowledge regarding COPD and patient care.
Methods: This was a single-center, nonrandomized, quality-improvement study.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined different management strategies for patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) due to Covid-19, focusing on prolonged observation versus early invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV).
- Among 632 patients analyzed, early IMV had a 24% mortality rate, while prolonged observation had a 28% mortality rate, with prolonged observation showing lower mortality at lower modified sequential organ failure assessment (mSOFA) scores.
- The findings suggest that prolonged observation may reduce mortality in patients with lower mSOFA scores, but carries increased risks for those with higher scores compared to early IMV.
