CMDA National Convention Program 2017 by Christian Medical & Dental Associations

Transforming Lives AT THE PREMIER CONVENTION FOR CHRISTIAN HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

WELCOME TO TRANSFORM Dear friends, Welcome! I’m excited about this year’s National Convention, and I hope you are too. I’m looking forward to great fellowship, worshiping together, being challenged and growing in my faith. Our theme this year is TRANSFORMing Lives. To do that better, I know I must be re-energized, re-equipped and persistently passionate about grasping every opportunity to touch the lives of other people. The good news is that God gives us that type of opportunity constantly with patients, neighbors and even strangers.

general

Transforming lives is not an event; it is a lifestyle integrated into the fabric of who we are. It is accomplished through letting people know of our relationship with God and how He has transformed our lives. It happens through letting the Holy Spirit permeate our lives like water fills a sponge. When that happens, we exude love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and faithfulness. I know people who do just that, and they have been God’s instruments to convict, inspire and grow me into what God designed me to be in service to Him. Those kinds of people are both magnetic and contagious. They draw me! I want to be around them. I want to become more like them by letting the Lord saturate my being until I overflow into other people’s lives. The messages from our speakers this weekend will “infect” you. Conversations with old and new friends around the dinner table will inspire you. Stories you will hear will stir you to action. Training will prepare you to serve others better. I remember my dad saying to me many times, “David, the only thing you will take to heaven with you is other people. Invest your life in others!” So welcome to our meeting full of advice on how to invest in others and transform lives. I pray it will pay rich dividends in your life for the kingdom! I’m glad you came! Blessings,

David Stevens, MD, MA (Ethics) James R. Hines, MD Chief Executive Officer President

Guest Speaker George Duffin NCF, Charitable Gift Annuity Program Manager

My Transformation Story “I am finding it hard to put into words what this trip meant for my spiritual walk with Jesus. From the moment we arrived I was being pushed outside my comfort zone. But if putting my comfortable life on hold and becoming uncomfortable means getting to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, then I will choose uncomfortable every time. The most impactful experience came from when I went on a home visit to a family who appeared to have nothing except a rudimentary dirt floor home. The father of the house was almost blind and, after giving him the strongest pair of glasses I had, tears started flowing and the biggest smile appeared on his face. ‘I feel like a new man,’ the translator conveyed to me. After talking with the man a while longer, I realized my first impressions were wrong: this man had everything. He talked about his relationship with Jesus and his family like nothing else mattered and it was then that I realized how often I desire more than Jesus. As I tried to process what I had just seen, I decided to get baptized the next day as a public declaration that my relationship with Jesus was enough to satisfy every desire of my life. Although I have been a Christian for the last eight years, I had put off being baptized for various reasons, but that night I felt God calling me to declare publicly that He alone satisfies my life and nothing else matters.” —A participant on a Global Health Outreach trip to Nicaragua

Session Information THE HIDDEN POWER OF GOD We live in two worlds simultaneously. Two realities, one visible, the other invisible, completely linked. If we take a step in one, we take a step in the other. Every word we speak in our material world echoes in the spiritual world. For God’s part, this is necessarily the season of hiddenness, and that means, for our part, it is necessarily the season of faith. What kind of infinite capacity does God have stockpiled on the other side of the veil? Does He ever share it with us? Is our faith truly “the certainty of what we do not see?” Since the essence of reality is non-material, it is important we anchor ourselves correctly.

Morning Devotions Notes with Rev. Bert Jones Be Transformed through Surrender As leaders, we are often looking for ways to conquer and control our circumstances in life to gain success. However, the Bible teaches a simple principle for power and transformation that is radically different than the plan of the world. In this Bible study, we will look at the freedom that comes through surrender.

Ellie’s husband Frank is the CEO of Prison Fellowship International, and they have three children.

Session Information BEING AN OVERCOMER - JOSHUA 3 We all want to get where we are going. But life presents detours and derailments. Maybe you have stood in a difficult place for a long time. Maybe you’ve grown a bit numb. Maybe you’ve started to doubt. Maybe you’re wondering if God has forgotten you—or worse—that He sees your pain and refuses to respond. Come and be encouraged as we explore the Lord’s promises and learn practical ways to overcome obstacles, hurdles and the stuff in our way. You will learn four steps toward: • being an overcomer (rather than being overcome); • being a victor (instead of a victim); and • being faithful (versus fearful).

NOTES

Friday

My Transformation Story “CMDA has been nothing less than a blessing for me the past year. Entering dental school I was fearful for the stresses associated with a vigorous educational program and began to pray for fellow believers to encourage me along the way. The Lord kindly answered that prayer generously through the community I have with CMDA. Both students and professionals have impacted me in a special way. I am encouraged daily on how to better equip myself to share the love of Christ in school and my future practice. Seeing students, faculty and professionals serve our chapter despite the time school and work requires has been wonderful.” —A CMDA student member

Friday

Leadership Fundamentals for Healthcare Professionals 1 Hour CME/CDE John Mellinger, MD Vice Chair Department of Surgery, Professor and Chair General Surgery, J. Roland Folse Endowed Chair in Surgery, Residency Program Director; Springfield, Illinois Modern medical and dental practice involves many challenges, including increasing financial, administrative bureaucratic and cultural pressures. In such settings, leadership skills are increasingly critical for the efficient delivery of care delivered with quality and compassion. Most healthcare workers have had limited, if any, focused leadership training in their professional journey. This presentation will give a broad overview of some critical leadership competencies, as well as explore how they may be developed by practicing professionals to expand the value they add to the lives of their patients, colleagues and organizations. At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: • Outline effective leadership practices. • Discuss essential skills for optimizing interpersonal and team function, including conflict management. • Describe elements of an effective time management strategies for busy professionals.

Ethics Track - Johnson Spring 4 Is the Right of Conscience Obsolete? 1 Hour CME/CDE Christopher Hook, MD Associate Professor of Medicine & Chair, Mayo Enterprise Ethics Education Committee, Mayo Clinic; Rochester, Minnesota The right of conscience is under severe attack throughout Western civilization. Nowhere is this more evident than the assault by governmental and professional bodies against the rights of healthcare professionals who oppose the expanding culture of death, as well as the perversion of medicine required by “progressive” political agendas and demands. This session will describe in detail elements of the war on healthcare right of conscience, with a focus on the issue of medical killing (physicianassisted suicide and euthanasia) and, particularly, recent developments in Canada, which are likely harbingers for similar proposals in the United States.

Friday

What do outsiders see when they look through the stained glass windows at us inside? Increasingly so, believers have segregated themselves from the non-believing world. Doing so keeps us from being salt and light. How can we share Christ with them if we don’t event know what they think about us? This lecture is being taught by someone who grew up on the other side, in an effort to help us bridge the divide.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS 2:45 - 6 p.m. Johnson Spring 2 The Christian Mind John Patrick, MD President, Augustine College; Spencerville, Ontario, Canada

Friday

The Christian Mind: In the World For the first half of the afternoon session, Dr. Patrick will discuss why the world we inhabit is post-Christian and reductionist. It is dominated by feelings and is therefore not logical. In preparation for engaging the world, he encourages us to meditate on John 16:7-15, but especially verses 8-11. The Christian Mind: In the Profession For the remainder of the afternoon, Dr. Patrick will help us prepare for hard times in our profession by encouraging us to decide now those areas where we will not yield. He will explain why transcendence matters, why medicine is an amoral activity, why the commitment to not kill is vital and why conscience rights matter.

Jim Henry Auditorium Spiritual Interventions in Clinical Practice: An Evidence-based Appraisal 3 Hours CME/CDE Walt Larimore, MD Family Physician, Adjunct Clinical Faculty, In His Image Family Medicine Residency Program; Colorado Springs, Colorado In this workshop, you will learn why spiritual interventions, particularly a spiritual assessment, are now considered part and parcel of quality clinical healthcare.

Session Information WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE ABUNDANT LIFE? - JOHN 10:10 Jesus’ promise for our life is so hopeful, but if we’re honest, some of us experience something more like “the hollow life” or “the halfway life.” We’ve been faithful and have tried to live according to His will, but for all the tidy sincerity, our spiritual life often seems dull and empty. The antidote? We will have a spiritual heart checkup (based on Moses in Hebrews 11), and note five traits of a healthy Christian. It’s time to get well!

NOTES

Saturday

My Transformation Story “Our CMDA community has been afforded so many wonderful opportunities to enter peoples’ lives and minister to them through healthcare. We have cared for the downtrodden, those cast aside by society and those who have endured unthinkable hardship. If Jesus were here in the flesh today, I believe these are precisely the ones whose company He would seek. They each have a face, a name, a personality, a story and inestimable value that the world often overlooks. I wish I could convey to each one how precious they are to the Lord! It begins with showing them compassion, respect and caring for them as a whole person. There are some patients that move and break my heart so that I can never forget them. While the world dismissively labels them as ‘homeless’ or ‘stripper,’ I have come to know them by their names and recognize that they are far more than that. They are broken people who still reflect the image of their Creator. I pray we may continue to learn to see people as Christ sees them and strive to see them healed.” —A CMDA member serving the homeless in the local community

Cross-Cultural Graduate Medical Education 1 Hour CME Keir Thelander, MD Chief Medical Officer, Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons; Strongsville, Ohio Cross-cultural graduate medical education is becoming more prevalent as a means of engaging and investing in developing countries. In spite of good intentions, information transmission and education by the teacher is often hindered by assumptions and a lack of understanding of the learner culture. Presenting examples of challenges faced and victories seen with a backdrop of surgical education in Africa, this talk will provide a framework for implementing Western-style education. Resident evaluation and program perspectives will also be discussed. At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: • Utilize new skills in culturally appropriate educational styles in a typical sub-Saharan Africa setting. • Identify methods to evaluate learners that will encourage better performance.

2:45 - 3:45 p.m. Emergency Tropical Medicine Cases 1 Hour CME Christo Philip, MD Emergency Medicine Physician, UT Southwestern Medical Center; Dallas, Texas This session will cover a series of emergency tropical medicine cases, including the emergency presentations of tropical diseases, diagnosis and treatment. These cases were all collected from the Indian subcontinent in a rural mission hospital setting. Cases include common tropical diseases like tuberculosis, different types of parasitic infections and more rare diseases like scrub typhus, rabies, tetanus and leptospirosis. Other topics that will be covered include neurotoxic envenomations and ingestions of common toxic plants and pesticides seen in the tropics. There will also be a discussion of management of medical problems in a resource-limited setting, including removal of esophageal foreign bodies, pericardiocentesis and bedside burr hole placement. Videos and case-based presentations will be used to highlight important clinical findings.

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: • Describe the classic presentations of common tropical infections, including tuberculosis, malaria, dengue and leptospirosis. • Evaluate the different treatment modalities available for treatment of ingested foreign bodies, pericardial tamponade and subdural hemorrhage in a resource-limited setting. • Identify common clinical conditions with rare presentations due to delay in treatment or diagnosis, which are often seen in resource-limited settings.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS Medical Track - Johnson Spring 3 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. The Healthcare Professional and Human Trafficking 1 Hour CME/CDE Gloria Halverson, MD Professor Emeritus, Medical College of Wisconsin Department OB/Gyn; Brookfield, Wisconsin It is now estimated that more than 45 million people worldwide are being trafficked. This session will explore how healthcare is a very important issue in dealing with this population, both to identify the victims and to appropriately treat them and make referrals. Some suggestions for this will come both from the literature, personal experience and video testimony of trafficked victims.

My Transformation Story “I don’t think that in my whole life I have been able to talk about Jesus so much to seeking people. One student said he had never met someone with such a spirit, which I told him was obviously him seeing Jesus’ Spirit in me. Christian women students told me it was such a wonderful thing to get to watch a Christian marriage in action. Their hearts to live out the gospel, invite their friends to the conference and reach others with their newfound faith in a country where most of their friends grew up in atheism was profoundly beautiful.” —A participant on a Medical Education International trip to Albania

2017 CMDA National Convention │ 31

Saturday

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: • Identify signs and symptoms that may indicate a person has been trafficked. • Discuss appropriate principles for interviewing victims. • Identify specific medical issues which should be evaluated in this population.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS The Robert Orr Lecture Series in Bioethics Ethics Track - Johnson Spring 4

1:30 - 2:20 p.m.

Saturday

Rights of Conscience and the Stormans Case 50 Minutes CME/CDE Dennis Sullivan, MD Director, Center for Bioethics School of Pharmacy, Cedarville University; Cedarville, Ohio Recently enacted Board of Pharmacy rules in the state of Washington require that pharmacies in the state stock and dispense all contraceptive agents, including Plan B One-Step, regardless of their mechanism of action and despite any pro-life ethical views held by pharmacists. Despite a lawsuit by the Stormans family, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the state board’s regulation, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case. The State Board of Pharmacy in California also recently issued similar rules to those in Washington. This presentation will address the rights of conscience of Christian pharmacists as well as the implications for physicians. At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: • Describe the competing ethical duties that inform claims of conscience. • Assess how legal constraints play a role in these conflicts. • Extrapolate from this case key principles that undergird other healthcare claims of conscience.

2:30 - 3:20 p.m. Navigating between the Scylla of Steadfastness and the Charybdis of Acquiescence 50 Minutes CME/CDE William P. Cheshire, Jr., MD, MA (Ethics) Neurologist; Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida One of the most challenging personal ethical decisions concerns when and under what circumstances one must hold unwaveringly to principle, even at the risk of being criticized, ostracized, misunderstood or penalized, versus when one should acquiesce with a requirement that is fashionable or mandated, even if it is harmful or unjust. At stake are one’s integrity, one’s ability to continue in one’s profession and one’s standing before God. These are questions of conscience. The speaker will examine this question from a perspective of Christian ethics. At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: • Evaluate the sometimes competing moral categories of principlism and pragmatism. • Discuss examples of biblical wisdom that can provide guidance in situations of potential ethical compromise.

Conscientious healthcare professionals whose medical ethics and/or spiritual beliefs do not permit them to assist in abortion, sterilization, assisted suicide or similar procedures face many professional and legal challenges. This session will discuss the legal means of protection available to such practitioners in federal and state constitutional and statutory law.

4:30 - 5:20 p.m. Panel Discussion: Cases and Questions of Healthcare Conscience in the Real World 30 Minutes CME/CDE Moderator: William P. Cheshire, Jr., MD, MA (Ethics) Panelists: C. Christopher Hook, MD; Dennis M. Sullivan, MD, MA; William P. Cheshire, Jr., MD, MA; Steve Aden, JD The right of conscience is the right of an individual to refuse to do something requested by another on the basis of a deeply-held moral belief. Conscience is at the heart of the healthcare professional’s commitment to honesty, compassion and responsibility to prevent harm. The faculty will discuss cases and address questions from the audience concerning situations where rights of conscience were at issue. At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: • Identify the relevant ethical principles at issue for each of the cases discussed. • Define what does and what does not constitute a legitimate right of conscience. • Discuss examples of biblical wisdom that can provide guidance in situations when conscience is in opposition to public policy.

Saturday

This session will discuss parenting as Christians during your child(ren)’s early developmental stages through grade school.

LIFE SKILLS INSTITUTE Jim Henry Auditorium 1:30 - 2:20 p.m. The Anti-Fleece Method: Decision-making God’s Way Glenn Pearson, FACHE Principal; Marietta, Georgia Making major life decisions often immobilizes us for fear of missing God’s will. This session considers some of Jesus’ teachings on planning and offers clear, practical insights into how we can boldly make decisions and confidently move forward even if subsequent events disappoint. And, no, it does not encourage “laying out a fleece” as Gideon did. In fact, it encourages just the opposite.

2:30 - 3:20 p.m.

This session will provide a brief introduction to the global and national problem of human trafficking followed by a discussion of what healthcare trainees can do to get involved in the anti-trafficking movement, even during their training years. Finally, the session will explore the keys to recognizing and referring potential victims of human trafficking in the healthcare setting for assistance.

3:30 - 4:20 p.m. Demystifying Evangelism Glenn Pearson, FACHE Principal; Marietta, Georgia One thing that unites both Christians and non-Christians is that both groups hate evangelism. Christians sometimes share their faith out of a sense of obligation or avoid doing it altogether. This session sheds light on some common sense perspectives and ideas for telling others about Jesus a much more natural—and even enjoyable—part of our lives.

4:30 p.m. - 5:20 p.m. Students and Residents/Fellows Panel Discussion Come prepared to ask questions of a panel of experts made up of individuals that have “been there – done that.” They will share their wealth of knowledge obtained over the years and especially the pitfalls to avoid while in medical school and residency.

“This conference renewed my hunger for the Word. It has renewed my trust in God and broken down some of the insecurities that had slowly built up in me. It has reminded me of that passion I had when I first accepted Christ, and taught me how to keep it going. I hadn’t realized how much I had limited God’s power in my mind and thus limited how much He could do through me. This conference has helped me see that and started me in the right direction toward change.” —A participant at the CMDA Northeast Regional Winter Conference

VIE POSTER 1 Evaluating Resident Perspectives on International Humanitarian Missions as Educationally and Professionally Beneficial Asantey K, Chetta M Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine; Rochester, Michigan Background

VIE Posters

Opportunities for international missions are highly sought after by medical students, residents, and attending plastic surgeons. The educational benefits and ethical considerations of trainees’ participation in these ventures have been extensively debated. Despite the increasing interest, the perceived benefit of international work has not yet been well studied. We seek to evaluate residents’ perspectives on the personal and educational benefits of international mission work.

Methods A 24-item online questionnaire was designed to measure residents’ perspectives on humanitarian missions. Residents’ perceptions on how participation in these missions may have influenced their career path were also evaluated. This questionnaire was disseminated to the plastic surgery residents in ACGME accredited programs in the United States during the 2015-2016 academic year.

Results Of the 123 responses collected, 49 (40%) indicated they had participated in international mission work prior to beginning residency, while 74 (60%) had not. Twenty-nine (24%) participated in one or more missions during residency. The most common type of mission work focused on cleft lip/palate repairs (n=24) followed by non-surgical medical relief (n=18) and general plastics/combined (n=6). Most respondents reported trips lasting 6-8 days (n=29, 48%), though several reported trips lasting 9-10 days (n=6, 10%) and 11 days or more (n=16, 27%). When asked about the volume of cases performed, 32 (65%) reported participating in more than 15 cases, with 15 (31%) residents reporting participation in 26 cases or more. When asked to evaluate the educational benefits in light of the six core competencies from the ACGME, there was an overwhelmingly positive response.

Conclusions Residents perceive international mission experiences to be valuable for professional development as well as an effective tool for surgical education, particularly in the setting of competency-based education goals. An appropriately planned mission experience can impact the professional and educational development of the trainee.

VIE POSTER 2 The Bad “COP” is the One You Don’t Diagnose Bates, Ruth Mayo Clinic; Rochester, Minnesota Introduction Cough and malaise in the context of immunocompromise are common symptoms, but early recognition of “red flags” for unusual causes of these symptoms can improve patient outcomes.

Case

Discussion Cough and malaise in the context of immunocompromise are common symptoms encountered by medical providers. Previously known as bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia (BOOP), organizing pneumonia (OP) is a rare but important cause of acute or subacute fever, dyspnea, dry cough and malaise. While the exact pathogenesis is unknown, organizing pneumonia is characterized by proliferation of granulation tissue creating intraluminal alveolar plugs without severe distortion of the underlying lung architecture. Patients are typically in their fifth and sixth decades of life. While most cases are cryptogenic, organizing pneumonia can be associated with connective tissue diseases, drug exposures (amiodarone, cocaine), mycoplasma, pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP) and chronic aspiration.

Conclusion Prompt recognition, evaluation and treatment of organizing pneumonia can preempt patient decompensation, reducing associated patient morbidity and mortality.

The patient was a 65 year old gentleman with psoriatic arthritis (previously controlled on etanercept, but switched to infliximab and methotrexate five months prior due to insurance coverage) who presented with a 5 week history of progressive cough, malaise, and weight loss, despite a course of Levofloxacin. On admission, he was saturating 93% on 2 L/min supplemental oxygen and tachycardic to 110. Blood work showed leukocytosis of 15.8 and CRP was elevated at 92. CT Chest showed extensive patchy bilateral opacities predominantly in mid-lower lung fields. Rheumatologic evaluation showed positive ANA (4.1), SS-A (>8.0), and RNP (1.0). Rheumatoid factor and ANCA panel were negative. He was started empirically on broad spectrum antibiotics and underwent bronchoscopy. Cultures from the alveolar lavage were negative, but transbronchial biopsies showed organizing pneumonia. After initiation of high-dose oral prednisone, the patient improved rapidly with improved cough, oxygen requirement, and generalized weakness.

VIE POSTER 3 Motivating Factors for Underserved Practice: A Quantitative Look at One Faith-Based Family Medicine Residency Program’s Experience Crider J, Jones B, Kpandeyenge T, Oh J, Wozny M Resurrection Health Family Medicine Residency; Memphis, Tennessee Background

VIE Posters

Previous research suggests that highly spiritual/religious physicians provide care to the underserved at a higher rate, however there is scarce data in the medical literature about the relative importance spiritual/religious (S/R) factors and non-S/R factors play in decisions to serve the underserved. Our faith-based family medicine residency focuses specifically on producing graduates who will work among the underserved, and we hope to elucidate the relative importance of various factors leading to a commitment to this population.

Methods An online survey was distributed to all 17 program graduates. Inclusion criteria included practicing primary care in a Health Professional Shortage Area. The survey included ranking 21 predetermined factors influencing underserved practice, demographics, and a question about the time period in which the physician committed to underserved care.

Results Fifteen of 17 graduates responded (88%), with 10 respondents meeting inclusion criteria. The top 3 overall factors were 1) God’s concern for the underserved, from a Christian perspective, 2) a calling from God, from a Christian perspective, and 3) non-family influential persons. The top three non-S/R factors were 1) Non-family influential persons, 2) Medically underserved urban experience, and 3) Living in an underserved neighborhood. The top 3 S/R factors were 1) God’s concern for the underserved, from a Christian perspective, 2) a calling from God, from a Christian perspective, and 3) overseas mission trips.

Conclusion We found that S/R factors were the primary overall motivating factors among this group and elucidated the relative impact of non-S/R factors. Previous studies demonstrated that physicians who strongly agree that their religious beliefs influence their practice are more likely to serve the underserved, making this group suitable for further studies regarding increasing exposure to these common motivators, e.g. non-family influential persons, overseas mission trips, and urban medical experiences.

VIE POSTER 4 Stories and Experiences of College Students Living with Food Allergies Delamerced, Anna Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University; Providence, Rhode Island Background Food allergies can have a major impact on daily living, emotional and social wellbeing of students on college campuses (1, 2). For first-year students with allergies, most of them are away from their families for the first time. They may not know how to manage their allergies as best as they did when under the guidance of their parents or guardians back home (3). Potentially fatal anaphylactic reactions on campuses have occurred and may continue if there is a lack of resources and a lack of awareness (4). Objective is to explore and better understand the experiences and daily challenges of students living with food allergies at a university in New England, and to raise awareness of allergies and anaphylaxis on a college campus.

This qualitative study included 15 students at a university in New England who identified as having food allergies. Semi-structured interviews were used. Based on the information gathered, multimedia videos were created to record and share their stories with the broader community. The students interviewed were also filmed as part of these educational videos.

Results Several themes emerged from the interviews: students expressed a lack of resources for navigating the dining halls at the university; cited the challenges of cross-contamination in the cafes and cafeterias; encouraged the value of having social support (â&#x20AC;&#x153;other students are our best resourceâ&#x20AC;?); emphasized not being ashamed of their health conditions; and urged the importance of spreading awareness. From these insights, multimedia films were created to seek to raise awareness of allergies and anaphylaxis on a college campus.

Conclusions This project illuminated the experiences of college students living with food allergies, and spurred the creation of multimedia films that raise awareness of the challenges associated with allergies and anaphylaxis. More needs to be done to propel policy change among campuses.

VIE POSTER 5 Bringing Together All the Voices: Formation of an Anti-human Trafficking Interprofessional Coalition to Address Training Needs of Vermont Health Professional Students and Providers. DiSanto, Rachel University of Vermont College of Medicine; Burlington, Vermont

VIE Posters

Background Human trafficking is a global and local epidemic. Vermont has had documented cases of labor and sex trafficking and has been both a sending and receiving state. It is widely recognized that up to 80% of trafficking victims encounter health care personnel while being trafficked, but are not identified. The University of Vermont is the major academic medical training center for the state and thus is ideally situated to facilitate training of Vermont’s healthcare personnel in identification of potential trafficking victims.

Methods In 2014, a number of health care providers, educators, anti-human trafficking advocates, community health workers, and survivors formed a working group to design a comprehensive curriculum to teach Vermont students and practicing graduates in health care professions how to recognize potential victims of trafficking.

Results A curriculum has been developed with the following components: • speaker bureau of practicing clinicians, advocates, and survivors for presentations at various educational conferences and grand rounds for both students and graduates • media interviews, articles, and blogs to educate the public about human trafficking in Vermont • model cases of labor and sex trafficking based on real events that are used to teach students how to identify potential victims of trafficking using the college of medicine’s clinical simulation lab and standardized patients

Conclusion This is a poster presenting a novel curriculum designed to educate students and graduates in health care professions to recognize the signs of medical and psychological trauma associated with trafficking. The curriculum incorporates the use of standardized patients in our clinical simulation lab to teach appropriate interview and intervention techniques. To our knowledge, it is the first such curriculum in the country. The goal of the UVM COM working group is to employ the clinical simulation model throughout the state and to expand its applications in other academic settings in the US.

VIE POSTER 6 Fighting the Opioid Epidemic Through Training Others in the Use of Nasal Naloxone Falkenheimer S, Crane A, Shieh D, Cope K, Cope S, Beyer M, Nkansah M, Asher S Albany Medical College; Albany, New York Background The opioid epidemic causes many unnecessary overdose deaths, which could be prevented by timely administration of Naloxone (Narcan). New York State has a program to train lay people to give nasal Naloxone and to equip them with a treatment kit to use should they suspect opioid overdose.

Methods

Results This effort (1) provided greatly needed training which is in great demand, (2) increased the number of people trained and equipped to use nasal Naloxone, (3) demonstrated the CMDA’s concern for those addicted to opioids, and (4) increased the visibility of the group among faculty and peers.

Conclusions This effort models a way to provide genuine and valued service and role modeling to those trained. It may stimulate other CMDA groups to explore and undertake similar efforts to help address important, health-related issues. The project models the love of Christ by actively demonstrating concern for a needy and an often marginalized group and by taking action toward preventing overdose deaths. It helps address both physical and medical needs. Like Jesus’s ministry, it has a multiplicative effect, as those trained train others. It increased awareness of and engagement with the campus CMDA group. It is a non-threatening medical activity in which people of different faiths can interact and serve with CMDA members, which may improve peers’ and faculty’s image of Christians.

A family physician and CMDA member certified by New York State to train others to use nasal Naloxone trained the CMDA faculty advisor and medical students of the Albany Medical College CMDA group to use the drug. Under his supervision, they in turn trained others, primarily medical, PA and pharmacy student peers. The 87 who completed the training received kits containing nasal Naloxone for use in suspected opioid intoxication.

VIE POSTER 7 The Heterogeneity in School Re-entry Programs for Children Returning to School After First Treatment for Cancer Hastings C, Gowans K Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine; Rochester, Michigan Background

VIE Posters

For children with cancer, transitioning back to school during and after treatment can be challenging. Literature supports the need for school re-entry programs to aid in this transition. However, these programs vary widely among pediatric cancer institutions with little data addressing and comparing their program components. Data from this study will provide information and comparison on current school re-entry programs among pediatric cancer institutions.

Methods All pediatric institutions in the United States with membership in the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oncology Group will be offered enrollment in this study. A member of each institution will participate in a phone interview consisting of 11-22 questions based upon a phone algorithm established by the research team. This person will be someone who is closely associated with the institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school re-entry program if one exists. Each interview is expected to take 5-10 minutes, and will query institution demographics and resources, as well as the components of each re-entry program (for example who participates, types of available resources). The interviewee will have the opportunity to comment on perceived benefits of the program, potential improvements, and whether the program is formally funded. Analysis of the interview transcripts will be performed using grounded theory and other appropriate quantitative methods.

Results It is hypothesized that institution size and geographic location will correspond positively with presence of a formal school re-entry program, with larger institutions in larger cities benefiting from more robust services. Preliminary data collection has begun to show trends, including the need for additional staff as an improvement to a program.

Conclusion The results of this study will identify the structure of school re-entry programs across the United States and aid pediatric cancer institutions in assessing and improving their programs. Ultimately, this will represent a first step to improving school re-entry outcomes for children and adolescents with cancer.

VIE POSTER 8 STEMI in an Adolescent Kailash, Priyanka Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine; Lillington, North Carolina Background Myocardial infarction (MI) is a cardiac emergency. Two main etiologies of MI are atherosclerotic and embolic. The embolic form, the least common and least discussed, will be discussed in this case study.

Case

Conclusion MI due to an emboli is an uncommon, but distinct clinical entity. Only 4-7% of all cases of MI are due to a nonatherosclerotic etiology. Patients less than 35 years have a 4 times increased occurrence of non-atherosclerotic MI’s. Underlying pathologies that predisposes to embolism are: atrial fibrillation3, tissue or mechanical valve replacement4, or a large atrial septal defect (ASD). Other non-atherosclerotic causes of coronary emboli include drug abuse, coronary spasm, paradoxical embolism and rupture of sub-angiographic plaque. The patient’s ASA and PFO both played a role in the embolic MI.

17-year-old white male with no past medical history presents with chest pain. The pain is substernal, severe in intensity, and radiates to the left arm and neck. Pain is 9/10. Social history is non-contributory. Family history is negative for premature coronary artery disease, familial hyperlipidemia, or coagulopathies. Vital signs upon admission: BP 130/70 mmHg, HR 70 bpm, 18 RR, O2 98% room air (RA). His physical exam is benign. Electrocardiogram (EKG): ST-segment elevations in anterior leads, focal ST segment depressions in inferior leads. Initial troponins: 0.661 ng/ ml. Cardiac catherization demonstrates 100% stenosis in the distal Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery. Left circumflex and Right coronary artery were free of disease. TTE post-catherization shows atrial septal aneurysm (ASA), and a patent foramen ovale (PFO).

VIE POSTER 9 The Effect of Refugee Home Visit on Clinic Follow Up Klint A, Ross A, Davies T Resurrection Health Family Medicine Residency; Memphis, Tennessee Background

VIE Posters

The US serves as a destination for refugees from around the world. Memphis, Tennessee, resettles ~200 refugees annually. Christ Community Health Services (CCHS) provides initial healthcare services for these refugees. Their services include an immigration screen and a recommended follow-up to complete vaccinations. However, many refugees fail to establish primary care and remain a vulnerable population with limited access to health care. Would incorporating a home visit after the mandatory screening help refugees establish primary care?

Methods This is a prospective cohort study. The control group included 39 patients who had an initial health screening between 08-01-14 and 09-30-14. From 10-01-14 to 01-01-15, we counted the patients that followed up after that initial visit. The experimental group included 24 refugees with their initial health screening from 12-01-14 to 01-31-15. From 01-12-15 to 02-08-15, these 24 refugees were contacted but only 7 were successfully visited. From 02-09-15 to 0509-15, refugee follow-up after the home visit was evaluated. The follow-up at three months was used as a surrogate marker for establishing primary care.

Results In the control group, 19 of 39 patients (48.7%) followed up. In the experimental group, 7 were visited (5 adults and 2 children.) One adult followed up before the home visit. The remaining 6 refugees that were visited followed up within 1 month. Of the remaining 17 in the experimental group, 9 followed up within 1 month. Using an intention-totreat analysis, 66.7% followed up.

Conclusion This study was limited by the number of successful home visits. However, the realization of barriers to home visits was impressive. Further studies should include improved methodology for home visits before making any conclusions on the efficacy of home visits as an intervention to improve refugee primary care.

VIE POSTER 10 Isolated Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Secondary to Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung: A Rare Entity in Clinical Practice MacInnis C, Kleinjan N, Heberer M University of North Dakota; Grand Forks, North Dakota

2017 CMDA National Convention â&#x201D;&#x201A; 89

VIE Posters

Isolated peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) secondary to squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is an exceedingly rare entity in clinical practice. A retrospective, multicenter cohort study by Glehen et al found that PC was most frequently related to colorectal cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei, gastric cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma, and appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Within the Glehen et al study, there were no cases of PC secondary to any histologic variation of lung cancer. Furthermore, Satoh et al performed a retrospective analysis of patients with lung cancer, and found that only 1.2% developed peritoneal carcinomatosis during the course of the disease. This background sets the stage for a unique case in which a 78 year old male, with a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, presented with signs and symptoms of small bowel obstruction. During surgical treatment, pathologic specimens were collected, which lead to the diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis secondary to squamous cell lung carcinoma. This is rare, given the less common squamous cell histology of the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary tumor. Even more unusual, our patient developed isolated peritoneal carcinomatosis without any other identifiable sites of metastasis. As treatment modalities continue to improve for lung cancer patients, it seems reasonable to conclude that there could be an increased incidence of such occurrences over time. If identified early, and before becoming acutely symptomatic, patients similar to the one which was presented in this case could potentially benefit from appropriate systemic therapy and local cytoreductive surgery with or without perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

VIE POSTER 11 Enhanced Angiogenesis by Growth Factor Gene Delivery through Porous Hydrogels in a Mouse Wound Healing Model Moon D, Segura T, Scumpia P David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA; Los Angeles, California

VIE Posters

Background In chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, poor revascularization was shown to impair wound healing. The use of a porous hydrogel to deliver angiogenic factors to the ischemic site represents a promising strategy to improve wound healing by providing a scaffold for vascular cell infiltration. Recently, the Segura lab has shown that an engineered microporous and enzyme-degradable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel could be used to deliver genes expressing Vascular Endothelial and Platelet-Derived growth factors (VEGF and PDGF respectively), promoting significant wound healing when compared to a nonporous hydrogel or no hydrogel. Using the mouse excisional wound splinting model, this study aims at determining whether porous HA hydrogels could be used to successfully transfect cells with genes expressing VEGF and PDGF, significantly enhance angiogenesis, and improve wound closure.

Methods Six adult female mice were subjected to full-thickness skin wounds and immediately transplanted with matrix metalloproteinase-sensitive hydrogels loaded with plasmids containing GFP-VEGF and mCherry-PDGF genes to visualize cell transfection through immunofluorescence at day 7.

Results Preliminary findings show that the simultaneous delivery of VEGF and PDGF genes via the transplantation of a porous hydrogel enhanced angiogenesis, accelerated wound closure, and transfected cells.

Conclusion Overall, these findings represent a promising direction for the use of porous hydrogels to promote tissue regeneration in chronic wounds.

VIE POSTER 12 A Student’s Reflection of Experience Gained at a Christian Health Center

Randolph, Christina Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine; Athens, Ohio Background Caring for the whole person includes addressing spiritual health. However, traditional medical school curricula do not tend to focus on spiritual needs. The curriculum in my own medical school has a strong emphasis on physical health, while also encouraging the consideration of social factors. Yet, little emphasis is placed directly on spiritual care. Christian-based health facilities exist throughout the country, where they provide physical, mental, and spiritual care for patients and communities. Therefore, Christian-based facilities can serve as learning resources for medical students interested in learning how to integrate spiritual care into clinical practice.

I spent four weeks at an inner-city Christian-based health center. I was scheduled time with various providers at the organization’s site locations. Most clinical days were scheduled with family medicine providers.

Results The four weeks at the health center helped shape my career goals. I felt encouraged to integrate spiritual care into my future practice. This experience taught me various principles through observing daily operations and working with a number of providers. These takeaways include: Christ as the central mission, operating in a spirit of excellence, Christ-like service, resilience, compassion, and community.

Conclusions A learning experience at a Christian-based health facility provides a unique opportunity for learning that may not be received in a traditional medical curriculum. It is an opportunity to learn how to care for the spiritual needs of patients in addition to their clinical needs. I encourage Christian medical students to seek similar opportunities.

VIE POSTER 13 A Case Report of Aortic Dissection with Concomitant ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Saint Croix, Garly Rushler University of Miami, Jackson Memorial Hospital; Miami, Florida Background Aortic dissection is a rare illness but the most life threatening condition of the aorta. If associated with myocardial infarction, the prognosis is even worse. We report a case of a 59-year-old male who presented to the ED with symptoms of myocardial infarction and was found to have concomitant aortic dissection.

VIE Posters

Case The patient is a 59-years-old male with no significant PMH who came to the ER one hour after he developed a sudden onset, substernal and pressure-like chest pain radiating to the left arm. On admission, vitals were BP 99/46, HR 65, RR 16, T 37.1. Physical exam was unremarkable. He suddenly became unresponsive and was intubated. An EKG showed ST Elevation in leads II, III, AVF. Troponin at that time was < 0.01 ng/ml. He was transferred to the catheterization lab where he underwent a coronary angiography that showed a type 1 aortic dissection with severe aortic insufficiency and a 95% occlusion of the right coronary artery. He immediately underwent an emergent repair of the AD with a composite biologic valve Hemashield conduit with a 25 mm Magna Ease Edwards valve and Hemashield graft and reconstruction of the RCA. His post-operative course was uneventful, he gradually improved and was discharged 12 days later.

Conclusion AD is the most common catastrophe of the aorta. The 2-week mortality rate is 75% in patients with undiagnosed ascending AD. Treatment of a MI with AD is very challenging. Cannesson found that anticoagulation and thrombolysis double hemorrhagic complications and mortality and can result in mortality ranges from 69% to 100%. In our case, no thrombolytics were given before the intervention. Therefore, a prompt diagnosis and management are fundamentals to survival since AD can be the etiology of a MI and anticoagulation or thrombolytic treatment can result in catastrophic consequences.

VIE POSTER 14 Methylene Blue in Severe Refractory Septic Shock: A Case Report Shen, Stephanie Mayo Clinic; Rochester, New York Background Sepsis is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients and is the most common cause of distributive shock in the intensive care unit (ICU). Treatment is directed at maintaining adequate mean arterial pressures using intravenous fluids and vasopressors. Methylene blue (MB) functions as selective inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, a mediator in nitric oxide vasodilation, and has been previously investigated as an alternative to catecholamine vasopressors in patients in refractory septic shock.

Case

Conclusion Observational studies evaluating treatment with methylene blue have revealed improved hemodynamics and oxygen delivery with use. However, randomized trials evaluating its impact on mortality and long-term safety are sparse. One study reported increased risk of serotonin syndrome with methylene blue and concomitant SSRI use. Further research on methylene blue would be beneficial in establishing its utility as a treatment option for septic shock as well as other shock etiologies in critically ill patients.

We describe a 68-year-old female who was in a previously good state of health who presented to the ICU with severe vasodilatory shock secondary to gram-negative urosepsis and acute renal failure requiring CRRT. On arrival she was progressively hypotensive down to 50s over 30s and tachycardic despite four liters of fluid resuscitation. She was initiated on broad spectrum antibiotics as well as norepinephrine infusion. Over the course of the day, she was requiring escalating doses of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and vasopressin with minimal effect on her blood pressure. Stress-dose steroids were administered for refractory shock with the patient remaining critically ill. Decision was made to start methylene blue. Two 50 mg boluses were given and then continuous infusion initiated at 0.5 mg/kg/hr with improvement in her hemodynamics and ability to wean catecholamine vasopressors.

VIE POSTER 1 5 Perspective on the Role of a Spiritual Curriculum in a PAACS General Surgery Residency Program Trinidad S, Owen R Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; New York, New York Background

VIE Posters

A primary motivation for pursuing medicine is a desire to serve. Current research shows that this idealism can be eroded throughout training, leading to burnout and depression. While significant research has demonstrated the importance of addressing patients’ spiritual needs, very little research has focused on the role of the physician’s spiritual beliefs on their professional career. The goal of this study was to observe the impact of a spiritual curriculum on residents at the Pan African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) Residency Program at Harpur Memorial Hospital in Egypt.

Methods A series of individual interviews and discussions with the three surgical residents and program director between 10/6/16 and 10/21/16. Participation in the weekly bible studies, discussions between residents and other staff and patient interactions.

Results The curriculum seemed to impact three areas: the resident’s sense of professional identity, well-being, and career goals. For professional identity, residents were encouraged to view each patient encounter as an opportunity to serve and viewed their profession as a calling. They were willing to address all aspects of patient care including their patients’ spiritual and emotional needs through prayer and counseling. In well-being, the program director took explicit interest in the residents’ entire well-being, including their marriage and family life. Residents were encouraged to participate in the local church and community with protected time available. Lastly, the residents expressed an interest in integrating their faith with their future careers and a desire to practice in underserved areas. All 40+ PAACS graduates currently practice in underserved areas and many specifically cite their calling as Christian physicians.

Conclusions An integrated spiritual curriculum during residency can impact resident’s sense of professional identity, well-being, and career goals. Future studies examining the curriculum’s impact across all PAACS programs and evaluating the careers of PAACS graduates would be valuable.
