Competency Based

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has shifted to competency-based medical education. This educational framework requires the description of educational outcomes based on the knowledge, skills and behaviors expected of competent trainees. It also requires an assessment program to provide formative feedback to trainees as they progress to competency in each outcome. Critical to the success of a curriculum is its practical implementation. This article describes the development of model curricula for anesthesiology residency training in regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine (core and advanced) using a competency-based framework. We further describe how the curricula were distributed through a shared web-based platform and mobile application.

Scientific Databases

The objective of the present study is to characterize the global scientific production on medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic in seven scientific databases from January 2020 to April 2021. We worked with a universe of 248 articles of which bibliometric indicators were analyzed using Publish or Perish software v. 7.19 and the same analytical software for the chosen databases. The results indicate an average of 39.5 citations. 27.95, 0.87 and 17.90 citations per year, citations per article and citations per author respectively. Among the most cited articles in the Scopus and Microsoft academic databases, Maintaining High-Quality Multidisciplinary Scholarship Programs in Pain Medicine stands out: Part I: Innovations in Education, Research, Candidate Selection Process, Wellness, and Implementation from ACGME during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article is also the second most cited article in the Web of Science database. These results show that the production of scientific articles on educational medicine in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant development.

Abstract Objective We quantified the representation of female program directors (PDs) and assessed their respective demographics, academic metrics, and program-related characteristics in chronic pain and acute pain medicine fellowship programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Methods We identified chronic and acute pain PDs on the ACGME website on November 15, 2020. We abstracted data from public databases and performed comparisons of demographics, academic metrics, and program-related characteristics between female and male PDs. Results We identified 111 chronic pain programs and 35 acute pain programs. Overall, there were 35 (31.5%) chronic pain programs with a female PD and 76 (68.5%) chronic pain programs with a male PD. Female chronic pain PDs published fewer peer-reviewed articles (4.0 publications, interquartile range [IQR] = 2.0–12.0) compared with male chronic pain PDs (9.0 publications, IQR = 4.0–27.0; P = 0.050), although there was no difference in the H-index score (3.0 vs 4.0 publications, respectively; P = 0.062) or senior academic rank status (57.1% vs 50.0%, respectively; P = 0.543). There were 10 (28.6%) acute pain programs with a female PD and 25 (71.4%) acute pain programs with a male PD. Similar to the chronic pain cohort, there was no difference in senior academic rank status based on gender in acute pain PDs (50.0% vs 24.0%, respectively; P = 0.227). Conclusion Our study highlights gender differences in the PD role in ACGME-accredited chronic and acute pain fellowships. Female PDs remain underrepresented and have fewer peer-reviewed publications. Senior academic rank status was similar across genders, contradicting the current evidence in academic medicine.

Fellowship Training Program

Chronic pain is perceived by physicians and healthcare systems worldwide as a major challenge, costing US $650 billion per year, which is more than the costs of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes [1]. Despite major efforts to find cost-effective solutions, these efforts are heading in the wrong direction. Worldwide, chronic pain-associated knowledge and pain practices are dissociated, and approaches to diagnosis and treatment are mostly based on outdated knowledge and are highly reductionist. Research, medical education, legislation priorities, and directions are influenced by economic dominance, and chronic pain clinical practices, for a significant majority, are going against medical ethics, evidencebased medicine, and cost-effectiveness. In USA, chronic pain patients are misdiagnosed 40-80% of times according to research from John Hopkins Hospital physicians [2]. Over the past 30 years to date, a huge body of research evidence from the perspectives of conventional pain medicine, complementary/integrative pain medicine, and regenerative pain medicine has not been incorporated into chronic pain medical education/training. Therefore, an extensive and comprehensive 30-month clinical fellowship training program was created at McMaster University in Canada (2007–2010) to fill these gaps. Its main outcome is a major shift in pain management goals from extremely costly, unsafe pain relief to the cost-effective treatment or curing of most chronic pain syndromes and their underlying causes.
