Resident training to optimize patient-focused menopause management: a multispecialty menopause curriculum to enhance knowledge and preparedness.

Objective: Surveys of residents in obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, and family medicine have demonstrated low levels of knowledge and comfort in treating patients with menopausal symptoms, suggesting a need for improved training during residency. To address this problem, we used a flipped classroom design to deliver a novel menopause curriculum for medical residents. The curriculum included six podcast episodes followed by an interactive case-based classroom session.

Patient Interest in Receiving Assistance with Self-Reported Social Risks.

Objectives: This study evaluated how often patients who reported social risk factors requested assistance with these risks in an integrated health system.

Methods: We examined how self-reports of risk related to stated desire for help with that risk reported during social risk screenings at Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW). We examined how patient characteristics were associated with desire for help with each social risk domain using logistic regression.
