  • Endocrinology Resident Profile Jill Trinacty
    Endocrinology Resident Profile Jill Trinacty July 2017 About me My name is Jill Trinacty, and I was raised in Berwick, Nova Scotia. I went completed my BSc. (Honours) at Saint Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I spent a year as the Active Living Coordinator with the Town of Kentville then completed my MD at Dalhousie University. I moved to Ottawa, Ontario in 2013 for my residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Ottawa and am currently a PGY-5 in Endocrinology and Metabolism. Why I chose General Endocrinology In medical school I became interested in almost every area of medicine, but ultimately applied to internal medicine for a number of reasons. I have always been interested in Endocrinology, specifically diabetes. Diabetes affects so many people in our communities and can have significant morbidity and mortality. I liked the detail of internal medicine and the complexity of patients. Having some previous experience in public health, I knew that I wanted a career that would allow me to discuss lifestyle changes as an aspect of therapy – specifically nutrition and physical activity. I also wanted a career that would allow for work/life balance. Seeing the day-to-day lifestyle of each internal medicine subspecialty confirmed that Endocrinology was the right fit for me. Clinical Life What does a typical day of clinical duties involve? This is an example of my typical daily and weekly schedule: Endocrinology – A typical day 7:30 – 8:00 Clerical work / Chief resident duties. Review emails, follow up on patient results, approve vacation requests, make call schedule.

Diabetes UK and the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) joined the working group to provide expertise in diabetes. This proposal outlines in brief the remit of the group, together with suggested minimum standards for the curriculum – both content and learning outcomes. The document also outlines suggestions for a strategy for their dissemination and enhanced interface with undergraduate students. There are no proposals for the methods by which medical schools should teach or implement the curriculum as this is likely to be medical school-specific.

  • Clinical Characteristics of Pain in Patients with Pituitary Adenomas

Our aim was to investigate the clinical characteristics of pain in a large cohort of patients with pituitary disease. Design: In a cross-sectional study, we assessed 278 patients with pituitary disease (nZ81 acromegaly; nZ45 Cushing’s disease; nZ92 prolactinoma; nZ60 non-functioning pituitary adenoma). Methods: Pain was studied using validated questionnaires to screen for nociceptive vs neuropathic pain components (painDETECT), determine pain severity, quality, duration and location (German pain questionnaire) and to assess the impact of pain on disability (migraine disability assessment, MIDAS) and quality of life (QoL). Results: We recorded a high prevalence of bodily pain (nZ180, 65%) and headache (nZ178, 64%); adrenocorticotropic adenomas were most frequently associated with pain (nZ34, 76%). Headache was equally frequent in patients with macro- and microadenomas (68 vs 60%; PZ0.266).

  • Educational Goals & Objectives Endocrinology Involves The
    Educational Goals & Objectives Endocrinology involves the evaluation and management of disorders of the body’s glands, hormonal secretions, and resultant changes in body metabolic activity. The Endocrine rotation will provide the resident with experience diagnosing and treating conditions commonly seen in outpatient primary care, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, thyroid disease and obesity. Inpatient care will be limited but will provide some exposure via in- hospital consultation to life threatening acute conditions, such as diabetic ketoacidosis and adrenal crises. The goal is to familiarize residents with basic pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic strategies and treatment. Depth of exposure should be such that they can develop competency in disease prevention, management of common diseases, and appropriate indications for referral. Faculty will facilitate learning in the 6 core competencies as follows: Patient Care and Procedural Skills I. All residents must be able to provide compassionate, culturally-sensitive, and appropriate care for patients to prevent and treat endocrine diseases. R2s should seek appropriate subspecialty or surgical consultation when necessary to further patient care. R3s should supervise and ensure seamless transitions of care between primary and consulting teams and between inpatient and outpatient care. II. Residents will demonstrate the ability to take a pertinent history and perform a focused physical exam. R1s should be able to differentiate between stable
