Reading is an essential complement to your clerkship learning experience. This will enable you to accomplish many of the behaviors listed above, and also prepare for the final examination. You are responsible for learning about each of the content areas in Gynecology and Obstetrics listed in this section. In order to get an "honors" in the clerkship, students will need to learn about every topic listed under the textbook section. Students may read about the topic from any source.
The basic texts are furnished to WWAMI sites at no cost. In addition, other reference books are available at each site. All students are responsible for using provided books with care and consideration. All books MUST be returned to their proper location BEFORE leaving the site, including materials personally loaned to you by faculty at the site. Failure to return books is considered non-professional behavior and results in an Incomplete for the course until missing books are returned or replaced. Grades will also be reported as Incomplete if students leave outstanding bills (phone, etc) at the site without making payment arrangements with the appropriate site person.
The mission of NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue School of Radiologic Technology is to prepare, educate and train a diverse population of students for entry into the profession of radiologic imaging. Graduates of the school will be able to support all other health care professionals, serve a diverse community of patients, equitably provide patient care, radiation protection, and imaging expertise with the highest quality in an atmosphere of diversity, with dignity and respect to the patient.
4. The students will demonstrate responsible professional and compassionate behavior in their interaction with patients as they seek to and improve patient experiences
Student Learning Outcomes:
Credentialing Examination: The number of students who pass, on the first attempt, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination, or an unrestricted state licensing examination, compared with the number of graduates who take the examination within six months of graduation. The five-year average benchmark established by the JRCERT is 75%.
Tyndall could not be reached for comment, but he defended his exams as medically appropriate in an interview with the Los Angeles Times last week. He was placed on administrative leave in 2016 and later reached a separation agreement with the university, according to USC officials.
Although radiology is not one of the major subjects in medical school, it is increasingly being integrated into everyday clinical practice and hence it is imperative for medical students to be cognizant with the basics of radiology. Also after the introduction of the NEET entrance exam, radiology has assumed more importance in the entrance exams. These are a few books that medical students can read for learning the basics of radiology and help them with these exams as well.
Following the exam, a psychometric analysis of the questions is conducted and items that do not meet psychometric standards are removed from the exam and the exam is rescored without those items. In addition, any items that have been flagged during the exam administration are reviewed and if these items are deemed to be defective for any reason they are removed from the exam.
We recognize exams are a stressful experience and that we are in unprecedented times. The Royal College is committed to communicating with you in a respectful, professional and civil manner. Similarly, we ask the same courtesy is provided to our employees. Thank you!
The physical examination revealed a calm and cooperative pre-pubertal girl with normal vital signs (BP: 110/60, heart rate (HR): 91 bpm, Temp: 36.8C, respiratory rate (RR): 20, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2): 97%) and a soft, non-tender abdomen with normal bowel sounds. On an inspection of the vagina, a brownish discharge with an offensive odor was found in scant amount. A pelvic examination by a gynecologist revealed a large, necrotic-appearing mass protruding from the introitus.
The prevalence of a vaginal foreign body is found to be 4% in outpatient visits in girls under 13 years of age in outpatient visits [4]. Of note, the most common intra-vaginal foreign object recovered in pediatric patients remains small wads of toilet tissue (up to 80%) [3]. Other objects described are hairpins, parts of a toy, tips of plastic markers, crayons, and gravel [1-2]. They are most commonly found in children between three and nine years of age [3] and are often due to age-appropriate curiosity and tendencies of self-exploration or introduction by playmates or siblings in up to 25% cases or, less commonly, as a result of sexual abuse [3]. The latter must be ruled out by thorough history-taking, a physical exam, diagnostic tests for sexually transmitted infections, and the involvement of an experienced social worker, as was done for our patient. Girls with developmental delays and behavioral disorders are at a higher risk of having retained vaginal foreign objects [2,5].
A foreign body may or may not be readily visualized on physical examination. In some, knee-chest positioning may reveal small objects like a small toy or a coin. In others, vaginal swabbing under anesthesia led to the diagnosis [2]. In one case series (n=35), in about one-third of children, the foreign body was found on inspection or vaginal/rectal exam [6]. Plain radiography is limited by the fact that some of these foreign objects are not radio-opaque [2]. A pelvic computed tomogram is fraught with the risk of radiation exposure and that of adverse reaction from intravenous contrast. Ultrasound, which is safe and well-tolerated by children, can show nonspecific echogenic changes and indentation of the posterior bladder wall [10] but is confounded by inter-observer variation. Pelvic MRI is probably the most superior and accurate imaging for a vaginal mass/foreign body [3]. However, MRI is limited by a lack of availability in emergency, time, cost, and need for sedation in toddlers and younger children. In rare circumstances, even a combination of all three modalities of imaging may fail to yield an accurate diagnosis, as was seen in our patient.
