Abstract

Over the past 20 years, the University of Washington Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has conducted twice-yearly faculty development workshops at the University for clinical faculty at community sites spread over three time zones in Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. These workshops consist of three separate parts: 1) a session to report on student clerkship performance and faculty ratings, 2) a session on curriculum and/or teaching, and 3) a session to update medical topics. Faculty found the workshops useful for improving their clinical teaching, keeping in touch with the full-time faculty, and developing a sense of cohesiveness. The department found the workshops useful in maintaining the teaching of consistent content and ensuring that all sites provide students with comparable experiences and evaluation.

Migration patterns and breast carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Many American Indian and Alaska Native women have lower incidence rates of breast carcinoma than other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. The rates in most areas, however, have increased in recent years. The author reviews the migration patterns and effects that might contribute to this change. METHODS: A review of the literature on migration and breast carcinoma incidence was conducted. RESULTS: Migration significantly impacts on breast carcinoma incidence in all groups of women studied. CONCLUSIONS: Research must be designed that will explore the components of host, life-styles, and environment on breast carcinoma rates in American Indian and Alaska Native women to elucidate mechanisms of breast carcinoma etiology.

Urban native American health issues.

BACKGROUND: This article presents an overview of urban-dwelling American Indians and Alaska Natives, including a summary of data issues and a brief overview of historical and related social changes resulting in migration from reservations to urban areas. METHODS: A literature search was performed and documented focus groups were held; in addition, Native Sisters' field records from Los Angeles, California, and Denver, Colorado, were reviewed. RESULTS: Urban Indian communities are intertribal and represent over half of the Native American population in the U.S., yet they lack access to sufficient health services. Urban Indian clinics are greatly underfunded. CONCLUSIONS: A greater proportion of funding needs to be allocated to community-driven, culturally respectful, multiyear behavioral research to improve the screening, treatment, and survival of American Indian women with breast carcinoma.

Population genetics of ice age brown bears.

The Pleistocene was a dynamic period for Holarctic mammal species, complicated by episodes of glaciation, local extinctions, and intercontinental migration. The genetic consequences of these events are difficult to resolve from the study of present-day populations. To provide a direct view of population genetics in the late Pleistocene, we measured mitochondrial DNA sequence variation in seven permafrost-preserved brown bear (Ursus arctos) specimens, dated from 14,000 to 42,000 years ago. Approximately 36,000 years ago, the Beringian brown bear population had a higher genetic diversity than any extant North American population, but by 15,000 years ago genetic diversity appears similar to the modern day. The older, genetically diverse, Beringian population contained sequences from three clades now restricted to local regions within North America, indicating that current phylogeographic patterns may provide misleading data for evolutionary studies and conservation management. The late Pleistocene phylogeographic data also indicate possible colonization routes to areas south of the Cordilleran ice sheet.
