From Adult Education to Medicine: Praxis across Disciplines

This paper provides a model based on the literature and personal experience, arguing for direct application of adult education theory to the practice of a profession. Praxis is therefore not confined to the educational approach for the adult educator of professionals

Late erosion of a prophylactic Celect IVC filter into the aorta, right renal artery, and duodenal wall

We present the case of a patient with retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filter-related pseudoaneurysms of the infrarenal aorta and right renal artery, with associated erosion into the duodenal wall. The patient was seen 10 months following multiorgan trauma and placement of a prophylactic retrievable IVC filter (R-IVCF). Management required autogenous aortic reconstruction, caval repair, and subsequent right nephrectomy. This case demonstrates that R-IVCFs may be associated with significant risks, which is concerning, as a majority of prophylactic R-IVCFs placed after multisystem trauma are not removed

Perceptions of 0+5 Trained Surgeon By Community Vascular Surgeons

Vascular training includes both residency (“0+5”) and post-residency fellowship (“5+2”) programs. Training models potentially influence attitudes toward graduates as prospective hires, but previous survey studies have focused on academic surgeons. We surveyed community surgeons to explore their perceptions of 0+5 versus 5+2 graduates

Perceptions of Integrated Vascular Surgery Fellowship Graduates among Community Vascular Surgeons

Vascular training includes both integrated residency (“0+5”) and postresidency fellowship (“5+2”) programs. The impact of training models on attitudes toward graduates as prospective hires is incompletely understood, and existing studies have primarily surveyed surgeons from academic centers. We surveyed surgeons who were in active clinical practice but not affiliated with a medical school or training program to compare perceptions of integrated versus postgraduate programs
