The motivation for the medical-staff shift-rotation research presented in this paper stems from the needs of an actual hospital emergency department (HED) and from the observed growing staff of these services in Spain.
Compared to non-rotators, residents who completed research rotation namely rotators, felt that they were able to utilize available resources better, although the difference was not statistically significant.
It also prohibits the kind of temporary rotation of researchers into research funding roles that we see in the US NSF.
This is a controversial topic for many schools who recognize that students may have the opportunity to use LMs in settings outside the course, such as clerkship rotations or research projects [ 21].
This is a controversial topic to many schools that recognize students may have the opportunity to use light microscopes in settings outside of the histopathology course, such as clerkship rotations or research projects [ 21].
Medical schools and residency programs have begun responding to this trend by incorporating global health training into their programs by developing structured curriculums, increasing the availability of global health rotations and research experiences, and in some cases creating dedicated global health tracks [ 6- 11].
With a special emphasis on cross-cultural sensitivity, the primary aims of the course are to introduce future practitioners to fund of knowledge, clinical skills, and service delivery methods relevant to both global and to culturally-diverse domestic settings, and to prepare students for international clinical rotations or research projects.
Each resident spends two weeks in the research rotation i.e. 2 residents within the usual 4-week period rotation schedule.
Based on performance of the resident among the various research rotation components, an ACGME competency based evaluation is provided at the end of the rotation.
Since the research rotation evaluation captures the feedback of only those who have rotated in this elective so far, we performed an anonymous and independent resident research satisfaction survey among a random sample of 42 residents in our program recently in order to assess the overall satisfaction.
After I complete the summer research rotation, I will join UC Berkeley to pursue a doctoral degree in nuclear chemistry.
