Medicine Grand Rounds, Sarah McGill "C. Diff. Now: Diagnosing, Treating, and Repopulating the Gut with Fecal Transplant"
2019-05-09 12:00 - 13:00 | Room 4008 Old Clinic Auditorium, Chapel Hill, NC, United States
Sarah McGill, MD, Msc, specializes in helping patients with recurrent C. difficile infections.
C. difficile Infection is the most common cause of infectious, antibiotic-associated diarrheal illness in the United States and a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in cases of recurrent or severe infection. The standard of care in management of C. difficile infection has shifted dramatically in the last year. I will discuss current diagnosis and management, including how C. difficile is diagnosed at UNC, antibiotic and novel medical therapies, and fecal microbiota transplantation. I will review how fecal microbiota transplantation is performed, the proposed mechanisms behind its efficacy, and future potential uses beyond C. difficile.
Sarah McGill cares for patients with a broad spectrum of gastrointestinal conditions, including colon polyps, gastrointestinal bleeding, gastrointestinal infections, heartburn, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, inflammatory bowel disease, constipation and diarrhea, among others. She has a particular expertise in advanced techniques for colon polyp detection, differentiation and resection during colonoscopy. She has expertise in treating recurrent C. difficile colitis and performs fecal transplant.

Medicine Grand Rounds, Chief Residents' Year in Review
2019-05-16 12:00 - 13:00 | Room 4008 Old Clinic Auditorium, Chapel Hill, NC, United States
In the department’s annual Chief Residents’ Lecture, Hannah Coletti, Grace Prince, Alison Raybould, Benjamin Robey and Benjamin Sines will present innovative projects and ideas:
Grace Prince Evaluation of a Humanities Curriculum to Promote Higher Level Clinical Reasoning at Internal Medicine Morning Report: Results of a Qualitative Analysis Within medical education, the humanities are frequently used to teach communication, promote physician wellness, and help physicians grasp the interpersonal context of their work. Dr. Prince will describe the implementation of an innovative curriculum, using the humanities as a tool to catalyze higher level clinical reasoning.
Hannah Coletti and Benjamin Robey A Professional Development Curriculum for Residents Internal Medicine and combined Med-Peds residents have transitioned successfully to fellowship and employment opportunities following graduation. However, our trainees have cited more robust support for career development and mentorship as an area for improvement. A Professional Development Curriculum was designed and launched this year to more proactively address these needs. Drs. Coletti and Robey will present baseline resident insights on existing gaps, and describe strategies for implementing change.
Alison Raybould and Benjamin Sines Optimal Team Structure on Residency Teaching Services While duty hours have been a focus of medical educators and the ACGME in recent years, the ideal allocation of time for education, provision of care, and patient safety has yet to be established. Academic centers with training programs similar to UNC’s have trialed different ward team structures to identify the optimal learning environment. With the creation of UNC Hillsborough Hospital and the introduction of a different team structure there, this question was investigated within the context of our own Medicine residency. Drs. Raybould and Sines will present their findings and identify areas for potential reform.

Medicine Grand Rounds Point-Counterpoint, Raven Voora and Alan Hinderliter "Hypertension Guidelines: Are They Realistic?"
2019-05-23 12:00 - 13:00 | Old Clinic Auditorium
The 2017 ACC-AHA Hypertension Guideline proposes a new definition of hypertension, and advocates lower blood pressure treatment thresholds and goals for many individuals with high blood pressure. As a result, more elderly patients are diagnosed with hypertension and are treated more aggressively with medications. Drs. Voora and Hinderliter will discuss the pros and cons of this strategy for the management of high blood pressure in the elderly in a point-counterpoint format.
Alan Hinderliter’s principal clinical interests are hypertension and echocardiography. He is a hypertension specialist and sees patients with high blood pressure that is difficult to control in the multidisciplinary UNC Hypertension Clinic. Dr. Hinderliter serves as the director of the UNC Hospitals echocardiography laboratory and provides imaging support to the structural heart disease program. His research interests include lifestyle interventions for the treatment of hypertension, novel therapies for resistant hypertension, out-of-office blood pressure measurement, and the cardiovascular effects of air pollution.
Raven Voora directs the UNC Hypertension Clinic. She is involved in the management of acute and chronic kidney disease at UNC and at the Burlington (NC) Kidney Center. Dr. Voora is a hypertension specialist and sees patients with hypertension at Chapel Hill.
