Introducing the focus filter! Focus areas or sub-specializations continue to emerge in pharmacy residency and fellowship post-graduate training. Examples include PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency with a focus in ambulatory care - or a PGY-2 Infectious Diseases Residency with a focus in pediatrics. At Unscripted Rx, we want to make the process of finding your ideal residency as smooth as possible so we've created a new focus filter to help students find what they want much more quickly. (P.S. Many residency programs asked for this feature too). Ready to try it out? Check it out at the directory today!

Excited to share a recent review of the book "Deciding with Children in Pediatrics," published by Elsevier's Academic Press! Edited by John Massie, Georgina Hall, and Lynn Gillam (The Royal Children's Hospital), this book offers a well-written and organized exploration of involving children and adolescents in healthcare decision-making. It thoroughly discusses ethical principles and developmental considerations, providing practical guidance for medical clinicians and bioethicists who work with children. According to reviewer Dr. Joseph Hageman, MD, from Evanston Hospital, this is a "superb, detailed, much-needed current book" that effectively addresses the process of making clinical decisions with young patients. Dr. Hageman emphasizes its importance for all clinicians involved in pediatric care, noting that it skillfully combines theory and practice to improve patient-centered decision-making. A must-have for healthcare professionals dedicated to ethical, collaborative, and developmentally appropriate care! #Pediatrics #MedicalEthics #ChildCenteredCare #HealthcareDecisions #PediatricMedicine #ClinicalPractice #MedicalEducation

Researchers from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago develop a national atlas which provides specific details of #pediatric acute care regions. Lead author of the study, Ken Michelson, MD, MPH, Attending Physician in the Division of Emergency Medicine at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Emergency Medicine) at Northwestern University - The Feinberg School of Medicine, explained that this new resource may serve as a basis for pediatric acute care #research, and guide policy and regional quality improvement efforts. https://lnkd.in/gnQkphYZ Patrick McMullen, PhD, Andrew Skol, PhD, Danielle Cory, MENG, Naveen Singamsetty #pediatricemergencymedicine #emergencymedicine #bioinformatics #acutecare #pediatricacutecare

I am truly honored and delighted to share my very first publication on pediatric home injuries, recently published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) MDPI : “Home Is Not Always Safe: Pediatric Unintentional Home Injuries in a Tertiary Emergency Department Setting.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d_qisZ9r This retrospective study analyzed all pediatric patients under 18 years diagnosed with unintentional home injuries (UHIs) in the Ankara University Pediatric Emergency Department—a tertiary university hospital—between January 2016 and November 2024. Among 852,090 emergency visits, 12,327 (1.4%) were identified as UHIs. Demographic characteristics, injury mechanisms, imaging findings, surgical interventions, hospitalizations and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admissions were comprehensively evaluated. Our findings emphasize the urgent need for preventive strategies focusing on early childhood safety, including maintaining secure home environments, proper chemical storage and increased parental supervision. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my mentor, Dr. Göksel Vatansever, for his invaluable guidance and leadership throughout this study.
