Background: While emphasis has been placed on practice management curricula in residency, studies indicate that residents are not adequately prepared. To assess the effectiveness of current practice management skills training in residency, we examined the confidence levels of family medicine residents and recent graduates in practice management skills.
Methods: A survey was sent to family medicine residency programs within South Carolina. Participants ranked their confidence level in 13 practice management skills on a 5-point Likert scale. Analysis of covariance compared confidence levels in their skills while controlling for program, gender, and age. Residency directors of these programs were also surveyed about the content of their practice management programs.
Results: Residents and graduates rated their confidence in all areas moderately high. Graduates rated themselves significantly more confident than residents did in seven practice management skills.
Conclusions: Family medicine practice management curricula appear to be effective in establishing confidence regarding practice management skills in residents and recent graduates.

Sleep disorders are relatively common among patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) and have a substantial impact on their quality of life. Although patients frequently recognize poor sleep as an important component of their disease, dyssomnias remain often underdiagnosed and untreated in routine clinical practice. This narrative review examines the prevalence, mechanism, risk factors and management of dyssomnias in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

This review assessed the effect of strategies designed to sustain the delivery of evidenced based interventions (EBIs) which target behavioural risk factors linked to leading causes of chronic disease in clinical and community settings. Seven electronic databases were searched for randomised controlled studies published from earliest record to November 2022. Studies were included if they tested a strategy to sustain the delivery of an EBI within clinical or community settings.
