Recently, the clinicians’ attention has been driven to metabolic syndrome (MS), due to increasing prevalence and adverse prognosis of MS. The goal of the treatment of any chronic disease is the achievement of adequate therapeutic compliance which, in turn, is determined by motivational status of both clinicians and patients. The associations between clinicians’ motivation for long-term treatment, their knowledge levels, and the readiness to apply this knowledge in practice, on one hand, and the achievement of chronic disease compensation in patients, on the other hand, deserve further investigation.Aim. To analyse the readiness of primary care clinicians for the treatment of MS patients. The specific objective was to assess the district therapeutists’ knowledge, skills, and readiness to implement them in clinical practice while treating MS patients.Material and methods. The study included district therapeutists working at Moscow City polyclinics. In 2011-2013, the participants took continuous medical education courses at the Therapy Department No. 2, Post-diploma Medical Education Faculty, Moscow State Medico-Stomatological University. The doctors’ knowledge and skills were assessed in a questionnaire survey.Conclusion. The results obtained demonstrate inadequate readiness of district therapeutists for the treatment of MS patients.

Abstract Context In the past decade, two changes have affected the pathology residency match. First, the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Match, which did not offer pathology residency, became accredited under a single graduate medical education (GME) system with the Main Residency Match (MRM), which offers pathology residency. Second, substantially fewer United States senior-year allopathic medical students (US MD seniors) matched into pathology residency. Objective To determine whether there were major changes in the number and percentage of osteopathic students and physicians (DOs) matching into pathology residency programs over the past decade. Methods Pathology match outcomes for DOs from 2011 to 2020 were obtained by reviewing AOA Match data from the National Matching Services and MRM data from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). The number of DOs that filled pathology positions in the MRM was divided by the total number of pathology positions filled in the MRM to calculate the percentage of pathology positions taken by DOs. Results Over the past decade, there was a 109% increase in the total number of DOs matching into pathology residency (34 in 2011 vs. 71 in 2020). During this time, there was a 23.3% increase in the total number of pathology positions filled in the MRM (476 in 2011 vs. 587 in 2020). Thus, the percentage of pathology residency positions filled by DOs increased from 7.1% in 2011 to 12.1% in 2020. The substantial increase of DOs in pathology occurred simultaneously with a 94.2% increase in the total number of DOs filling AOA/MRM “postgraduate year 1” (PGY-1) positions (3201 in 2011 vs. 6215 in 2020). Thus, the percentage of DOs choosing pathology residency has remained steady (1.06% in 2011 and 1.14% in 2020). In 2020, pathology had the third lowest percentage of filled PGY-1 residency positions taken by DOs, out of 15 major medical specialties. Conclusion The proportion of DOs choosing pathology residency was stable from 2011 to 2020 despite the move to a single GME accreditation system and the stark decline in US MD seniors choosing pathology. In 2020, a slightly higher percentage of DOs (1.14%) chose pathology residency than US MD seniors (1.13%). Overall, DOs more often choose other medical specialties, including primary care. Additional studies are needed to determine why fewer US MD seniors, but not fewer DOs, are choosing pathology residency.

During the past 30 years, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of ambulatory care training in medical education. The discrepancy between education and practice was pointed out in the General Professional Education Panel report that indicated training was based largely in hospital settings even though the vast majority of doctor-patient encounters do not result in hospitalization.1 Perkoff,2 noting changes in hospital care such as shorter lengths of stay, increased outpatient care, and the need for well-trained primary care physicians, stated that programs need to make a major effort to emphasize clinical teaching in outpatient settings. Recognizing the need for these changes, the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has increased dramatically the requirement in primary care specialties for clinical ambulatory training.3 For pediatrics, these requirements have progressed from the suggestion that clinical training should be obtained in outpatient clinics (1961) to requiring clinical training in primary care clinics weekly for 3 years (1985). The problems in providing good training in ambulatory settings have been well described.2-4 In comparison inpatient teaching, training students and residents in an outpatient clinic is inefficient and costly. One of the methods suggested to address these problems has been to move ambulatory training out of tertiary care centers to community sites.5-9 Many pediatric programs are now using community sites for at least a portion of resident education.10 Alpert et al10 and Greenberg et al,11 although encouraging the use of these sites to reduce the gap between pediatric education and the service delivery system, pointed out that there are no standards for use of community sites.
