Psilocybin therapy helps clinicians process COVID despair
[cid:image013.jpg at 01DB47F6.6D13E970]Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy resulted in significant reductions in depression among clinicians who provided front-line COVID-19 care in 2020 and 2021. These reductions were measurably greater than those experienced by the cohort of clinicians who received a placebo instead.

Findings from this double-blind, randomized clinical trial were published this week in JAMA Network Open<https://bit.ly/4f6hnIQ>.

“For doctors and nurses who feel burned out or disillusioned or disconnected from the patient care they want to provide, this study shows that psilocybin therapy is safe and can help these clinicians work through those feelings and get better,” said Dr. Anthony Back, professor (Hematology and Oncology) and the trial’s lead investigator.

Research news
Underrepresented in Medicine Research Award
[cid:image015.jpg at 01DB47F6.6D13E970]Dr. Addie McClintock, associate professor (General Internal Medicine) was recognized with the Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) Research Award, by the by the AAMC Research in Medical Education (RIME) Program.

She received the award along with Drs. Joshua Jauregui and Caitlin Schrepel (Dept. of Emergency Medicine) for their project: “You Get What You Reward: A Qualitative Study Exploring Medical Student Engagement in Two Different Sociocultural Assessments<https://bit.ly/4fVFGum>.”

Their findings show that assessments can impact engagement, and therefore, how and what you learn. Their multi-institutional, cross-sectional constructivist-grounded theory study of fourth-year undergraduate medical students also included UWSOM students.

The study found that students’ beliefs about the purpose of assessments, the mental effort assessments require, and their relationships with faculty and peers all play a big role in how they engage with the assessment process. Assessment systems that empower students to have some control over their own learning promote a growth mindset and cultivate student engagement by communicating that if you are learning, you belong.
