Bob Barker wants UVA to change ‘cat procedure’ for medical education
University of Virginia…come on down!
TV icon Bob Barker is not too fond of a training technique used in helping teach residents how to properly insert a breathing tube in premature newborns. In our free weekly enewsletter, Residency Program Connection, see how the master-of-all-things-Plinko believes medical residents are being “shortchanged.” A university spokesperson stated in an article published by nbcwashington.com that using simulators as an alternative to the technique does not provide adequate practice.
How do you feel about celebrities making public comments on GME practices/techniques?
Editor’s note: Keeping corny ‘Price is Right’ references to two was perhaps the hardest assignment I have ever taken as a journalist.
