  • Natural Defenses: Protecting the Brain from Degenerative Disease
    News from Drexel University College of Medicine SUMMER/FALL 2018 Vol. 6, No. 2 Natural Defenses: Protecting the Brain From Degenerative Disease When Olimpia Meucci first began researching the impact of neuroinflammation on the neurological complications of HIV/AIDS, it was at the height of the global panic about the emerging health threat. “HIV was a major medical problem. People recognized that, in addition to compromising the immune system, the disease caused neurological deficits,” Meucci says. “However, because severe neurological deficits typically occurred when the disease had progressed to a point where there was little to be done for the patient, no one was looking closely at how to mitigate these issues. At the time, most clinical Ellis Island Medal and research efforts were directed at halting honors courage, viral replication and infection.” compassion, generosity Today, although HIV-infected patients have long benefited from antiretroviral therapies, there is still no treatment for the neurocognitive disorders associated with HIV/AIDS. Meucci is hoping to change that. Now professor and chair of Drexel’s Department of Pharmacology & Physiology and director of the Center for Neuroimmunology & CNS Therapeutics, Institute of Molecular Medicine & Infectious Disease, she just received funding from the NIH for the 16th year in a row, supporting her work around neuroHIV. Ongoing studies in her lab primarily focus on neuroprotective pathways and the role of substance abuse 11 and aging in HIV-associated cognitive decline. The awards of After earning her medical and PhD degrees teaching our at the University of Naples in her native Italy, graduate students Meucci came to the United States for further training.

  • Residency Program Pass Rates 2018 - 2020
    Residency Program Pass Rates 2018 - 2020 This report contains information about the internal medicine certifying examination performance of programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). For each residency program listed in the following pages, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) reports the cumulative pass rate for the 2018 to 2020 certifying examinations in internal medicine. What data are reported? For each program, this report lists the number of candidates that took the examination and the percent that passed. Which residents are included in the calculation of a program's pass rate? Candidates are included in the computation of a program pass rate if they meet four conditions. 1. They are first takers of the 2018, 2019, or 2020 certifying examinations in internal medicine (repeat takers are excluded). 2. They completed training in the year of or the year before the first attempt (i.e., a candidate who took the 2020 certifying examination for the first time must have completed training in 2019 or 2020). 3. The final year of training is in internal medicine or a combined training program such as pediatrics and medicine. 4. Candidates must have received their satisfactory final evaluation of clinical competence from the training program. Which programs are included in this report? Programs are included in this report only if they are currently accredited by the ACGME; however, pass rates are reported only if a program has at least ten (10) residents who meet the above criteria. What are the limitations of the data? Many factors influence a program’s pass rate.
