• National Institutes of Health Loan Repayment Programs

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposes to rescind the current regulations governing two of its eight loan repayment programs and issue in their place a new consolidated set of regulations governing all of the NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs). There are currently eight programs, including three for researchers employed by the NIH (Intramural LRPs) and five for non-NIH scientists (Extramural LRPs). The Intramural LRPs include the Loan Repayment Program for Research with Respect to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (or AIDS Research LRP); Loan Repayment Program for General Research (or General Research LRP), which includes a program for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Fellows; and Loan Repayment Program for Clinical Researchers from Disadvanta...

• Dr. Garthwaite Gets Candid About King/Drew

The data shows that last year in LA County about 675 people died of preventable deaths in hospitals. Even if the things in the paper about King/Drew were preventable, which I would argue were not, but even if they were you're still missing 670 that haven't reported. To be clear, that haven't. I'm not excusing any lapses of care or anything that's happened. The things that have happened we've been very straightforward, and honest about things that shouldn't have happened and here's what we're doing to keep it from happening. That's our complete focus. I'm only saying that the number of articles and the degree are unusually great. [Thomas Garthwaite]: I think I've seen significant changes. I see it when I talk to staff. The hospital has a new board chair and board. They're clearly a diffe...

• Probation Concerns Addressed ; Med School Cites Improvements.

Organizational changes already made within the University of Missouri's health system should resolve accreditation problems that put the School of Medicine on probation last month. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education put the School of Medicine -- as the sponsoring institution -- on probation for the administrative component of its resident education program. The probationary status did not affect individual residency or fellowship programs, nor was it associated with undergraduate medical education, which is accredited through a separate agency.

• Innovative Scientist Builds Models of Human Organs

[Carla Pugh], an African-American surgeon, created the "vaginal vault" in 1998. It was made of a cardboard toilet paper roll, Play-Doh and a badminton shuttlecock (fashioned as a makeshift cervix). She has also constructed a scrotum using two wooden balls linked by a rubber band and suspended in an extra large condom, filled with oil and peanut butter. In medical schools, students become doctors never having learned the nuances of checking for cancerous lumps in other than perky-breasted dummies (non-human), such as smaller, flatter, fuller or elongated breasts. So, Pugh has designed imitation breasts in her lab from everyday off-the-shelf items. It turns out that lima beans simulate tumor tissue very well. With her award-winning successes she's developing models of the throat, lungs an...

• Mu Medical School Program Probation to Be Re-Evaluated

The agency that put the University of Missouri School of Medicine's resident education program on probation earlier this year will be in town next week to review changes. Officials from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education will visit campus Tuesday, roughly six months after the council notified the university that the program's administrative component wasn't up to par. The probationary status was the result of ACGME's visit to campus in February 2008. The probation did not affect individual residency or fellowship programs, nor was it associated with undergraduate medical education, which is accredited through a different agency.
