Identifying Gender-Related Differences in Graduate Medical Education with the Use of a Web-Based Professionalism Monitoring Tool.

Objectives: Medical education is required to ensure a healthy training and learning environment for resident physicians. Trainees are expected to demonstrate professionalism with patients, faculty, and staff. West Virginia University Graduate Medical Education (GME) initiated a Web-based professionalism and mistreatment form ("button") on our Web site for reporting professionalism breaches, mistreatment, and exemplary behavior events.

Hospital Spiritual Care Can Complement Graduate Medical Trainee Well-Being.

Background: Burnout and depression among physician trainees is increasing at an alarming rate. Promoting well-being is of utmost importance for graduate medical education. The primary objective was to determine if spiritual care staff/chaplaincy can assist in building emotional well-being and resiliency within medical residency education.

Knowledge and Attitudes of Health Care Providers Toward Transgender Patients Within a Rural Tertiary Care Center.

Members of the transgender community face significant health disparities within our society, especially within the state of West Virginia, which is primarily rural. We sought to examine and compare existing attitudes and knowledge of resident and faculty physician medical professionals at our institution about treating transgender individuals within a rural tertiary care center. The Medical Practitioner Attitudes Towards Transgender Patients (MP-ATTS) survey and the Medical Practitioner Beliefs and Knowledge about Treating Transgender Patients (MP-BKTTP) survey were sent to all faculty and resident physicians at West Virginia University Hospitals.
