Headache.
An attempt has been made to provide an overview of headache management for the primary healthcare provider for women. No attempt has been made to delineate for the clinician all care related to the difficult-to-manage headache patient, but at the same time, information has been provided that should assist the clinician in treating this common disorder. Often, a comprehensive approach is needed, and appropriate referral may be necessary to other healthcare providers who are capable of providing more specific services. The women's healthcare provider often has important psychologic and environmental information necessary to provide meaningful early intervention. This common complaint in patients is often overlooked and/or dismissed as "happening to everybody," thus patients are unnecessarily neglected. Not only can specific therapy be provided for the headache patient, but this complaint can serve to alert caregivers to other organic and emotional problems.

An empirical specification of residency performance dimensions.
A critical aspect of any residency is the process of selection and evaluation. However, the research literature has failed to provide an adequate behavioral specification of performance components to assist in selection and evaluation decisions. In this investigation, we applied a widely accepted method of job analysis from personnel psychology, the critical incident technique, to define those behaviors and attitudes necessary for successful resident performance in obstetrics and gynecology. Nine mutually exclusive categories of behavior were identified, including conscientiousness, recognition of limits, confidence in skills and training, ability to handle crisis/emergency situations, integration of knowledge with practice, technical skills, relationships with staff, relationships with patients, and ethical actions. These categories appear to be reliable, as physician raters were able to sort incidents into appropriate categories with 94% reliability. Identification of these categories represents a beginning step toward determining necessary aspects of performance in a structured and replicable manner and toward defining these performance aspects in a manner that allows precise and reliable measurement.
