Teaching About Health Care Disparities in the Clinical Setting

Clinical teachers often observe interactions that may contribute to health care disparities, yet may hesitate to teach about them. A pedagogical model could help faculty structure teaching about health care disparities in the clinical setting, but to our knowledge, none have been adapted for this purpose. In this paper, we adapt an established model, Time-Effective Strategies for Teaching (TEST), to the teaching of health care disparities. We use several case scenarios to illustrate the core components of the model: diagnose the learner, teach rapidly to the learner’s need, and provide feedback. The TEST model is straightforward, easy to use, and enables the incorporation of teaching about health care disparities into routine clinical teaching

A review of the incidence and coincidence of uterine and mammary tumours in Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats based on the RITA database and the role of prolactin Evaluation of carcinogenicity results needs an awareness of tumour interdependency in pathogenesis

Wistar rats are frequently selected for use in carcinogenicity studies due to their advantageous survival rate, which is more favourable than other strains such as the Sprague Dawley (SD) strain. Uterine and mammary tumurs are relatively common spontaneous neoplasms of both strains. We examined the incidence and co-incidence of uterine tumours and mammary tumours in control animals of both strains within the RITA database. There was a strong inverse relationship between these tumour types in Wistar rats (p10%
