PLoS Med
September 2024
Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has proved ineffective in treating patients hospitalised with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), but uncertainty remains over its safety and efficacy in chemoprevention. Previous chemoprevention randomised controlled trials (RCTs) did not individually show benefit of HCQ against COVID-19 and, although meta-analysis did suggest clinical benefit, guidelines recommend against its use.
Methods And Findings: Healthy adult participants from the healthcare setting, and later from the community, were enrolled in 26 centres in 11 countries to a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised trial of COVID-19 chemoprevention.
Preparing Our Future Physicians: "We Will Reap What We Sow".
Cureus
May 2024
Department of Medicine, Wellington Regional Medical Center, Wellington, USA.
As Designated Institutional Officer (LMB) and Program Director (EM) in a community teaching hospital, we are intimately involved with all aspects of Graduate Medical Education (GME) and find the rewarding part to consist of contributing towards the teaching of our future physicians, as well as the challenges imposed by the continuously evolving training requirements as set forth by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). While we are very aware of the standard training requisites that are put in place without exception for all accredited GME residency programs, whether they are part of a major (University) or minor (Community) teaching medical center, in this manuscript we are hoping to perhaps initiate a dialogue among clinical educators as to the future of graduate medical training, and how we as a medical community can commit to providing the best education experience for our residents, while preparing them to be the physicians our patients expect and deserve.
