Building and Supporting Interprofessional Teams to Support Population Health.

High-functioning teams can positively impact health care delivery and support population health. The authors discuss enabling and interfering factors that impact team-based care delivery and how the AHEC system can promote inter-professional education and practice across North Carolina.

Learning with digital recording and video review of delivery room resuscitation.

Digital recording and video review of delivery room resuscitations is a proven useful tool to evaluate neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) technical and non-technical skills. It is also valuable for research, quality improvement, and individual and group learning. Digital recording and video review programs are growing in number, and planning and implementation of digital recording requires careful thought.

Cotard and Capgras Syndrome in a Patient with Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia.

The presentation of both Cotard and Capgras syndromes is uncommon in schizophrenia. We present a case of a 23-year-old male with the diagnosis of schizophrenia with Cotard syndrome who later developed Capgras syndrome. By persisting significant symptoms despite the use of two antipsychotics, he was given the diagnosis of treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and his symptoms improved with clozapine.

Teamwork, communication and resident leadership at resident-attended, neonatal delivery room resuscitations.

Objective: Determine if a NICU resident delivery room (DR) skills educational curriculum is associated with changes in neonatal resuscitation team characteristics, including teamwork, communication and leadership.

Study Design: This prospective, observational study of resident-attended neonatal resuscitations utilized team questionnaire, video assessment and chart review. Each resident NICU block included a curriculum consisting of two educational programs focusing on NRP knowledge and skills with additional emphasis on teamwork and communication strategies.

Reflections of an Integrated Maternal-Child Health Medical Student Assignment.

Introduction: Clinical experiences expose learners to the patient perspective, which can have a lasting impact on students' professional identity. However, in busy clinical settings where opportunities for reflection may be limited, listening to patients' stories is often neglected. We used a reflection assignment to augment a new maternal-child health integrated curriculum.
