The Leader in Medicine (LIM) Program of the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, hosted its 7th Annual LIM Research Symposium on October 30, 2015 and participation grew once again, with a total of six oral and 99 posters presentations! Over 45 of our Faculty members also participated in the symposium. This year’s LIM Symposium theme was “Innovations in Medicine” and the invited guest speaker was our own Dr. Breanne Everett (MD/MBA). She completed her residency in plastic surgery at University of Calgary and holds both a medical degree and an MBA from the University of Calgary. In her inspiring talk, entitled “Marrying Business and Medicine: Toe-ing a Fine Line”, she described how she dealt with a clinical problem (diabetic foot ulcers), came up with an innovation that optimized patient care, started her own company and delivered her product to market to enhance the health of the community. She clearly illustrated how to complete the full circle, from identifying a clinical problem to developing and providing a solution that both enhances clinical care and patient health as well as reduces health care costs and hospital admissions. The research symposium was an outstanding success and the abstracts are included in companion article in CIM.

TOn October 30th, 2015, the Leaders in Medicine (LIM) program at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary hosted its 7th Annual Research Symposium. Dr. Breanne Everett, President and CEO of Orpyx Medical Technologies and holder both of medical and MBA degrees from the University of Calgary, presented a lecture entitled “Marrying Business and Medicine: Toe-ing a Fine Line”. The LIM symposium also provides a forum for both LIM and non-LIM medical students to present their research work in oral and poster presentation formats. This year over 100 students submitted their work and six oral presentations and 99 posters were presented. The oral presentations were as follows: Ryan Lewinson, Prediction of wedged insole-induced changes to knee joint moments during walkingLindsey Logan, Robotic measures provide insight on sensorimotor and cognitive impairments following traumatic brain injury Jackie Mann, What medication information do community doctors want to receive in discharge summaries for safer transfers? Ashley Jensen, Increased mortality associated with resident handoff periods at ten veterans administration medical centers Jason Bau, Keratinocyte growth factor protects against C. difficile-induced cell injury and death Michael Keough, A novel drug class promotes regeneration of central nervous system myelin by overcoming inhibitory scar molecules in vitro and in vivo For further details on the University of Calgary Leaders in Medicine Program see “A Prescription that Addresses the Decline of Basic Science Education in Medical School” (Clinical and Investigative Medicine. 2014;37(5):E29). The LIM Symposium has the following objectives: (1) to showcase the variety of projects undertaken by students in the LIM Program as well as University of Calgary medical students; (2) to encourage medical student participation in research and special projects; (3) to inform students and faculty about the diversity of opportunities available for research and special projects during medical school and beyond; and, (4) to enhance student and staff interactions, with the ultimate goal being to enhance translational medicine improve health.

Background  The University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine Annual Geriatrics Update: Clinical Pearls Course (Geriatrics Update) is a one-day, continuing medical education (CME) course designed to enhance geriatrics competency for family physicians (FPs), given increasing population age and complexity. We aimed to evaluate how the course meets FPs’ perceived learning needs and identify modifications that may better support FPs.  Methods  Descriptive data from 2018–2019 course evaluation surveys including demographic data, evaluations, and narrative feedback from participating FPs. Semi-structured phone and video-conferenced interviews with FPs were thematically analyzed each year.  Results  Evaluation surveys had high response rates of FPs (52 or 61% in 2018; 39 or 58% in 2019). Most FP respondents (84% in 2018 and 82% in 2019) intended to make practice changes. FPs were significantly (p=.001) more confident on course objectives after the course in both years. All interviewees (n=20) described fulfilled perceived and unperceived learning needs and planned to return. The Geriatrics Update course is the primary source of Geriatrics CME for 60% of interviewees.  Conclusions  Iterative evaluation of Geriatrics Update identified that the course is well received, and often FPs primary source of geriatric CME. Interviews provided additional context and descriptive feedback to improve course delivery and better meet FP learning needs.

There was not a white stiletto in sight at the Biochemical Society's meeting at the University of Essex. There were, however, plenty of incisive reports from the cutting edge of science. There were 119 presentations, 140 posters and three medal lectures, the Biochemical Society's Annual Symposium ‘Free Radicals: Enzymology Signalling and Disease’, one piper playing, a barbecue and free whisky.

Abstract Although gross anatomical instruction has always been considered a foundation for medical education and practice, curricular changes have altered the manner in which it is taught. The integration of basic biomedical sciences began with the case-western reserve curriculum. Under the leadership of Dr. Henry Mandin, the University of Calgary School of Medicine developed a program of medical instruction based on 120 clinical presentation schemes. The Paul L Foster School of Medicine is currently using this approach in teaching its first class of freshman medical students. Three-dimensional ultrasound and the other visual modalities—radiography, computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—have greatly increased our ability to visualize anatomical structures. Three-dimensional ultrasound has great potential for use in the curriculum at Paul L Foster School of Medicine. For example, it can help the student differentiate between the varieties of pelvic mass, which can be subdivided into ovarian, tubal, and uterine causes. This paper demonstrates the ways that Doppler threedimensional ultrasound can help the student differentiate between these anatomical diagnoses. Coupling ultrasound with the histopathologic study of various lesions can provide a powerful visual learning tool that mimics the use of these techniques in a clinical setting.
