Peripartum management of patient with long QT3 after successful implantable cardioverter defibrillator device discharge resulting in device failure: a case report.

Background: Long QT3 syndrome type 3 (LQT3) is a gain of function mutation of the SCN5A gene that is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Long QT3 syndrome type 3 results in an increase in arrhythmic events during rest, sleep, and bradycardia by extending the QT interval and inducing Torsades de pointes and sudden cardiac death. Attempting to block the sodium channel with Class I anti-arrhythmics or blocking adrenergic tone with beta-blockers especially in women has shown to be beneficial.

Effectiveness of the Ophthalmological Training Component of the STOMP (Simulation Training for Operational Medical Providers) Curriculum.

Introduction: Simulation has been used in medicine to train clinicians to manage a variety of clinical scenarios. A key adaptation of the use of simulation in military healthcare occurred in 2015 with the development of the STOMP (Simulation Training for Operational Medical Providers) curriculum, a specific curriculum designed for the intern (PGY-1) trained physicians being sent into the military to practice primary care. Despite showing the curriculum's influence on self-perceived comfort scores, no study has determined whether simulation is an effective means of improving general medical officer (GMO) physicians' skills compared to other traditional styles of education.

Simulation Training for Operational Medicine Providers (STOMP): Impact of a Comprehensive Skills-Based Curriculum for Military General Medical Officers.

Introduction: A standardized training curriculum designed for general medical officers (GMO) titled Simulation Training for Operational Medicine Providers (STOMP) was recently developed to educate and improve GMOs' procedural skills through directed feedback prior to assuming duties in an operational environment. This study aimed to determine the impact this novel curriculum had on GMOs'confidence levels in 21 core privileges covering eight different subspecialties while stationed at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP).

Materials And Methods: A cohort study from 2015 to 2017 was designed to address our specific aim to examine if the implementation of the STOMP curriculum increased GMOs' confidence levels.
