Although continuity for all visits in this RCP was less than in private practice, it was surprisingly high, considering the limited time residents spend in clinic. In a particularly important area for continuity, health maintenance visits, continuity was identical to one and superior to the other private practice.

Vascular remodeling contributes to perpetuated hemophilic joint bleeding and therefore contributes to progressive arthropathy. Intra-articular or systemic administration of anti-angiogenic drugs, such as vascular endothelial growth factor antagonists, might be of benefit in such patients, but requires study.

Increasing time spent in clinic improves continuity and may indeed enhance the quality of this fundamental experience.

Point-of-care ultrasound enabled intra-articular corticosteroid injections that provided highly effective, safe, and relatively long-lasting pain relief in haemophilic arthropathy. This approach should be used to improve pain management in haemophilic arthropathy.

Purpose: Effective collaboration between physicians and nurses has been shown to enhance patient care, decrease errors, and reduce expenses related to inefficiency. The current study provides a qualitative analysis of student responses to an exposure-based interprofessional training model implemented at the University of Vermont. Method: First-year medical students (N = 99) participated in a one-on-one shadowing experience with inpatient nurses, shared training perspectives with nursing students, and composed reflective narratives on their training experiences. Thematic content analysis assessed student perceptions of nursing following these experiences. Results: Content themes were developed and tested for reliability. Thematic analysis revealed that a vast majority (96%) regarded the training as a positive experience. The most frequently communicated responses were that the students gained an understanding of nurses' intimate knowledge of patients (100%) and an identification of the importance of interprofessional communication (98%). Other themes suggested the students learned something new (57%) and learned about the nurses' knowledge base (47%). Conclusion: This straightforward, experiential, interprofessional training exercise was associated with frequent positive responses from the majority of students. This training model may effectively reinforce the perceived value of other providers and collaborative practice. Replication, expansion, and further evaluation of this curriculum are warranted.
