Expectations of the Competencies of Entering Family Medicine Residents: Do Members of the Family Agree?
Clerkship directors identify several skill sets as being more important for graduating medical students to possess compared with program directors. Program directors seem to value more personal characteristics as important for entering residents to possess rather than skills. Future implications may include a focus from family medicine clerkships on skills that are valued by program directors but not rated as commonly seen among incoming residents.
Pilot data from this real-world study suggest that even after medication treatment has been optimized, a longer course of adjunctive CBT may offer some additional benefits over a shorter course of PE alone for the maintenance treatment of BD. Larger randomized controlled trials with equal treatment lengths are indicated.
