Since the advent of the clerkship at The Johns Hopkins Medical School in the late 19th century, this model has been the backbone of clinical training for medical students throughout the world. Despite the pervasiveness of clerkships, little information exists about the faculty that oversees them administratively. We documented the reported academic credentials, professional development, and support systems for pediatric clerkship directors in the United States and Canada. Our findings should be useful to clerkship directors and department chairpersons across disciplines.
Although bulimics' family functioning usually is reported to be abnormal, the present study examined whether these abnormalities are specific to bulimia or whether they may be due to covariation with another problem associated with abnormal family functioning, childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Consistent with prior research, the family environments of bulimic and normal eaters, as well as abused and nonabused subjects, differed significantly. However, when eating behavior and abuse status were analyzed concurrently, significant differences between bulimics and normals failed to emerge. Abnormal family environment was associated more closely with CSA than with bulimia. The one abnormality unique to bulimia was the family's heightened emphasis on achievement. The potential importance of familial achievement orientation is discussed.
Two subtypes of poor readers, dysphonetic and phonetic, were compared on EEG spectral values obtained as they viewed strings of letters and short words. Dysphonetic poor readers had significantly higher values than phonetics in the theta and delta bands. Both phonetic and dysphonetic poor readers had lower beta values than adequate reading children with Attention Deficit Disorder. This evidence indicates that poor readers, especially dysphonetics, were less actively engaged in the task.
