A medicolegal curriculum for internal medicine residents.

Many residents lack knowledge about medicolegal issues. To assess the ability of 64 primary care residents to learn legal medicine, we studied the impact of a medicolegal curriculum in a randomized, controlled study. We measured residents' medicolegal knowledge using a novel test, the Legal Medicine Evaluation (LME). We found that the mean LME score of residents exposed to the curriculum increased 15.5 points (on a 100-point scale) to 65.9 ( p <.01), while the mean LME score of control residents increased only 3.5 points, to 53.5 ( p =. 05). Clearly, residents can learn basic medicolegal principles. Thus, observed deficiencies in medicolegal knowledge most likely arise from inadequate medicolegal instruction.

Medicolegal program for resident physicians.

Few residents are taught to cope with medical liability and the legal aspects of business and administrative issues in medicine. The need for this practical, postgraduate curriculum led to be a collaborative effort between Dr. Kollas and the State Society to create an educational guidebook and seminar series which offers practical postgraduate medicolegal curriculum to resident physicians across Pennsylvania.

AML bipolar arthroplasty for degenerative hip arthritis.

Primary total hip arthroplasty using an uncemented AML porous coated femoral component and a bipolar acetabular component was performed on 50 consecutive patients with degenerative arthritis. Of the 50 patients, 43 (48 hips) were available for review at 2 to 3 years follow up. The data obtained in this review suggest that total hip arthroplasty using this prosthesis provides a consistently reliable hip replacement with few related complications and a high patient satisfaction rate. A stable radiographic appearance of both the femoral and acetabular components can be expected.
