A ordem dos fatores altera o produto. Reflexões sobre educação médica e cuidados paliativos

“To heal sometimes, to relieve frequently, to comfort always.” This classic statement, summarising the doctor's role, is presented in a sequence that leads to an important educational error. What can be expected when the recommended order for the doctor's role is to cure, relieve and, ultimately, comfort? The logic is to think that we move from the main issue to the lesser one, to the details. When healing is not possible it can at least be relieved, and if it cannot be relieved, providing comfort still remains. To proceed in this sequence inevitably presents relief and comfort as a consolation prize to the doctor who was faced with an incurable, painful, and terminal disease. The resulting product of this process misconception ‐the physician‐ has important deficiencies. The author makes an extensive reflection on human and technical aspects of medical education. The reflection starts with the warnings coming from the patient, the doctor's mistakes, and enters into the necessary land of suffering and death, those scenarios that doctors should learn in their training, as they will be part of their professional activities. To assume the correct posture in this scenario requires a practical medical anthropology, imbued with philosophical values, and permeated by ethics. The reflection then leads to medicine as a science and art that also leads to the practice of palliative care with the required competence. As a conclusion the author proposes a Hippocratic‐Copernican shift in medical education, to avoid this misconception that yields important training deficiencies. While comfort is something that should always be given due to its high prevalence, the cure has a much lower prevalence. The medical education process should include this ratio to produce better doctors. Doctors must always know how to comfort and, depending on the circumstances and the diseases with which they encounter, they also should heal when cure is possible. That means, the order of the factors changes the product. The introduction of Palliative Care in the medical curriculum could facilitate change in the order of these factors.     

Trends in employer postings for epidemiology jobs: an analysis of PublicHealthJobs.net data from 2003 to 2016

PurposeTo analyze public health job posting data to help objectively inform epidemiology faculty and students about skills sought by employers.MethodsRaw data from PublicHealthJobs.net database (January 2003–October 2016) was data-mined and analyzed (n = 25,308 job postings). There were 3985 jobs that were classified with an epidemiology designation, either as the only designation or co-occurring with another designation. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for job type, industry, location, degree requirements, CPH credential, and specialized skills.ResultsThe majority of recent postings (January 2014–October 2016) were for full-time positions (60.8%). The highest proportion of recent job industries was education/academic/research (44.3%), state government (17.5%), and nonprofit/NGO (16.3%). A masters-level degree was listed in 71.4% of postings, frequently co-occurring with other degree levels. Epidemiology as the only job class was listed in 1765 postings (45.3%). Most characteristics of epidemiology job postings did not appreciably change over the time period, but there were some specialized skill differences.ConclusionsThis analysis illustrates how employment sites can be used to identify employer preferences in epidemiology hires. There may be some skills that are beneficial additions to public health curricula or that job-seeking future epidemiologists may wish to enhance during their training.     

The ESSO core curriculum committee update on surgical oncology

IntroductionSurgical oncology is a defined specialty within the European Board of Surgery within the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS). Variation in training and specialization still occurs across Europe. There is a need to align the core knowledge needed to fulfil the criteria across subspecialities in surgical oncology.Material and methodsThe core curriculum, established in 2013, was developed with contributions from expert advisors from within the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO), European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) and related subspeciality experts.ResultsThe current version reiterates and updates the core curriculum structure needed for current and future candidates who plans to train for and eventually sit the European fellowship exam for the European Board of Surgery in Surgical Oncology. The content included is not intended to be exhaustive but, rather to give the candidate an idea of expectations and areas for in depth study, in addition to the practical requirements. The five elements included are: Basic principles of oncology; Disease site specific oncology; Generic clinical skills; Training recommendations, and, lastly; Eligibility for the EBSQ exam in Surgical Oncology.ConclusionsAs evidence-based care for cancer patients evolves through research into basic science, translational research and clinical trials, the core curriculum will evolve, mature and adapt to deliver continual improvements in cancer outcomes for patients.     

Integrative pediatric pain management: Impact & implications of a novel interdisciplinary curriculum

ObjectivesObjectives of this paper are to: 1) Describe a novel interdisciplinary, integrative pain curriculum for pediatric residents. 2) Describe changes in residents’ understanding of pain epidemiology, physiology, and management; application of the biopsychosocial model in pain management; and understanding and application of non-pharmacologic approaches to pain management.Design, settingThis study was done in a pediatric residency program within an urban pediatric teaching hospital. It employed both anonymous, Likert-scale surveys administered via Qualtrics, as well as open-ended, free response questions.InterventionsWe provided a multidisciplinary pain education curriculum to pediatric residents with a focus on pain neuroscience, a history of pain management, the biopsychosocial model of care, and exposure to non-pharmacologic interventions to pain management over six hours of instruction conducted in two blocks of three hours each.Outcome measuresSelf-identified changes via survey measuring resident physician knowledge, comfort, approach, and management of pediatric pain through an interdisciplinary pain curriculum.ResultsPrior to this training, many residents were not confident in their understanding of pain neuroscience, the biopsychosocial model of care, and non-pharmacologic interventions. At completion of training, residents indicated positive changes in knowledge of, and comfort with, all of the domains taught. Ninety percent of residents indicated that the curriculum changed the way they conceptualized, approached, and/or managed pain, and reported thinking more holistically about pain management. Nearly all residents indicated they would like to have more training (98 %, N = 57) in integrative modalities.ConclusionsPediatric resident physicians are receptive to training in an interdisciplinary, integrative, pediatric pain management education intervention, and subsequently show positive changes in knowledge and comfort levels. There is a need and desire for additional pain education in resident training programs.

An Interactive Parents' Guide for Feeding Preschool-Aged Children: Pilot Studies for Improvement

There are few motivational materials to help families with limited resources develop optimal, practical feeding strategies for young children to reduce dietary risk for poor diet and weight status. Formative evaluation strategies consisting of both qualitative and quantitative data helped to refine the parent feeding guide Eat Healthy, Your Children are Watching, A Parent's Guide to Raising a Healthy Eater. An interdisciplinary planning team developed a five-topic, multimedia, interactive guide addressing the strategies most associated with improved diet quality and weight status of children aged 3 to 5 years. Research staff conducted iterative phases of field testing, reformatting, in-depth interviews, and materials testing with Head Start or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program–Education caregivers (N=38) of children aged 3 to 5 years during 2011 and 2012. Convergence of feedback from caregivers' interviews and each booklet's attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction subscale scores were used to determine and affirm areas for improvement. Lower than desired attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction scores (optimal score=5) in 2011 and too much text resulted in revisions and reformatting that improved scores from 3.8 to 4.9 in 2012. The revision of materials to reflect less text, additional white space, checklists of mealtime behaviors, and learning activities for preschool-aged children resulted in dramatically improved materials and greater acceptance by parents, as shown by both quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Formative evaluation procedures involving the use of data-based decision making allowed for the development of intervention materials that met the unique needs of the population served.
