Current status of healthcare financial literacy among medical trainees and junior hospitalists: An observational survey study.

The absence of comprehensive education on hospital value-based purchasing during undergraduate medical education may lead to inadequate comprehension of healthcare finance during Graduate Medical Education and subsequent medical practice. Medicine residents and junior hospitalists (defined as those who completed their residency in the last 5 years) may lack essential healthcare financial skills to address the needs of their patients and the healthcare system effectively. To assess healthcare financial literacy among medical students, medicine residents, and junior hospitalists, we conducted a survey at an academic Internal Medicine residency affiliated with a US Medical School.

Blue Papules in a Child: Family History Might Prevent Diagnostic Tears.

A healthy 14-month-old boy presented with firm and grouped blue papules in the right mid area of the back and the right peri-anal area (Figure 1). The lesions first appeared when the boy was a 6- or 9-month old, gradually increasing in number to a total of six lesions. The child was delivered full-term with no complications, had no medical issues, and no personal or family history of gastrointestinal bleeding or anemia.

Acneiform Eruption Secondary to Over-the-Counter Vitamin B12.

Treating an acneiform eruption requires the discovery of its etiology. Often, the removal of the offending agent can lead to the resolution of the eruption, resulting in an excellent prognosis. Herein, we present a rare case of a vitamin B12-induced acneiform eruption occurring in a 68-year-old female due to an over-the-counter supplement.

Congenital bullous syphilis in a newborn: A novel approach to diagnosis using immunohistochemical staining on a blister roof.

We describe a rare presentation of congenital bullous syphilis in a premature neonate born with extensive skin desquamation. The newborn was noted to have diffuse erythema with widespread, superficial skin desquamation in addition to plantar bullae and erosions, and an absence of mucosal involvement. Immunohistochemical syphilis diagnostic staining was performed on a blister roof, highlighting a novel diagnostic approach for congenital bullous syphilis.

Integrating Cultural Humility into the Medical Education Curriculum: Strategies for Educators.

Issue: The framework of cultural humility, which emphasizes curiosity and self-reflection over mastery, was identified over 20 years ago as a way to address implicit bias in health care, an important factor in health disparities. Despite growing interest from researchers and educators, as well as the urgent call to adopt these values, the foundational elements of cultural humility remain challenging to teach in medical education and have not yet been widely adopted.

Evidence: Health disparities persist throughout the United States among a growing population of diverse patients.
