    Abstract In the year that marks the centenary of Patrick Ambrose Treacy's death comes a book that captures the character of the man who did so much for private sector education for the Catholic Church throughout Australia. An 'enterprising immigrant' is how author Regis Hicket describes the Christian Brother. Born in Ireland in 1834, Patrick Ambrose Treacy spend his formative years in Thurles, Tipperary, at the Christian Brothers' school, later entering the Brothers' novitiate in Waterford. In August 1868 he departed Dublin, arriving in Melbourne, Australia, in November. Ambrose arrived when free

    Abstract Individuals who identify as a sexual minority, including those who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB), face barriers to healthcare as well as increased discrimination, stigmatization, and negative experiences during healthcare use. Further, few healthcare providers have education and training focused on the specific healthcare needs of individuals who are part of a sexual minority group. Given the limited research on Canadian healthcare access for sexual minorities, our purpose was to use data (

    Abstract Background: The Deployment and Travel Medicine Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices, and Outcomes Study (KAPOS) evaluates health outcomes and provider practices associated with travel and deployments within the US Military Health System. We analyzed prescribing errors for chloroquine malaria chemoprophylaxis between travel medicine specialists and non-specialists over a five-year period.
    Methods: A sample of 291 chloroquine prescriptions were reviewed to determine if malaria chemoprophylaxis was appropriate for destination of travel based on both transmission and chloroquine resistance risk. We included non-active-duty beneficiaries of all ages seeking care at military treatment facilities.
    Results: 10.3% (n = 30) of patients were prescribed chloroquine inappropriately. Non-travel medicine specialists prescribed chloroquine inappropriately more frequently than travel medicine specialists with 16.5% vs 2.3% error, respectively. Physicians were less likely to erroneously prescribe chloroquine as compared to non-physicians with 6.4% vs 22.2% error, respectively. 93.3% of prescribing errors were due to chloroquine-resistance presence at the travel destination. Africa was the most common destination of erroneous prescriptions, creating significant risk for travelers.
    Conclusions: While chloroquine is infrequently prescribed, this analysis demonstrates travel medicine proficiency is associated with reduced errors, highlighting the need to supply travel medicine education and decision support tools to non-specialists, to safeguard patients who seek pre-travel medical care.

    Methods: Burden, clinical course, and risk factors associated with all
    Results: We reviewed 243 charts based on diagnosis coding, yielding 210 confirmed diagnoses (86.4%). Immigrant patients born in Latin America/Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, and East Asia/Pacific regions had statistically significant increased risk ratios of infection at 34.4, 32.0, and 22.4, respectively, when compared to patients born in Europe and North America. In univariate analysis, active duty members in the healthcare occupational category had a statistically significant increased risk ratio of infection at 2.31 compared to those outside this occupation. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that occupational categories of healthcare, admininstrative/support, warfighter/combat specialist, and engineering/repair/maintenance occupations, being an immigrant patient, and age ≥65 were all associated with statistically significant increased odds ratios for infection.
    Conclusions: In the Military Health System, occupational exposures, region of birth, and age serve as risk factors for

    Abstract Background: Recent price increases in medications used to treat helminth infections have had demonstrated impacts on Medicaid and immigrant patient populations. Helminth infections are common within the US military; however, anthelmintic prescribing patterns and costs have not yet been investigated in this patient population.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pharmaceutical data from the Military Health System Data Repository between fiscal years 2012 and 2019. Prescription information, including costs and demographics, were abstracted for all anthelmintic medications as well as associated helminth diagnostic codes within 30 days of the prescription dispensing date.
    Results: On average, there were 10
    Conclusions: Price increases in anthelmintic medications have significantly impacted the costs borne by the US government for treating parasitic infections. There are a substantial number of anthelmintic prescriptions in the US military health care system annually, suggesting a higher number of helminth infections than previously thought.

    Abstract Background/aim: In October of 2020, a live attenuated Nasal Flu Vaccine (NFV) was licensed for the first time in Ireland for children aged 2&ndash17 years of age. The uptake of the NFV in Ireland was much lower than expected. The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of Irish parents towards the NFV, and to examine the relationship between the perceptions of vaccines and the uptake rate.
    Methods: An 18-question online questionnaire, developed through Qualtrics software®, was distributed via various social media platforms. Data were examined using SPSS to run associations using chi-squared tests. Free text boxes were assessed using thematic analysis.
    Results: Of the 183 people who participated, 76% of parents had vaccinated their children. 81% of parents would vaccinate all their children, while 65% disagreed with vaccinating only children 5 years or older. The majority of parents agreed that the NFV was safe and effective. Analysis of the text included requests for alternative vaccine locations (22%), difficulties getting an appointment (6%), and a lack of public awareness of the vaccine campaign (19%).
    Conclusions: Parents are willing to have their children vaccinated but there are barriers to vaccination contributing to the low uptake of the NFV. Increasing the availability of the NFV in pharmacies and schools can increase uptake. Public health messaging around the availability of the NFV is excellent but a more succinct message is needed to highlight the importance of under 5s receiving the vaccine. Future studies should examine the promotion of the NFV by healthcare professionals and general practitioners' attitudes towards the NFV.

    Abstract Introduction: We compared core pediatric clerkship student assessments across 11 geographically distinct learning environments following a major curriculum change. We sought to determine if intersite consistency existed, which can be used as a marker of program evaluation success.
    Methods: We evaluated students' overall pediatric clerkship performance along with individual assessments that target our clerkship learning objectives. Using the data of graduating classes from 2015 to 2019 (N = 859), we conducted an analysis of covariance and multivariate logistic regression analysis to investigate whether the performance varied across training sites.
    Results: Of the students, 833 (97%) were included in the study. The majority of the training sites did not show statistically significant differences from each other. After controlling for the Medical College Admission Test total score and the average pre-clerkship National Board of Medical Examiners final exam score, the clerkship site only explained a 3% additional variance of the clerkship final grade.
    Conclusions: Over the ensuing 5-year period after a curriculum overhaul to an 18-month, integrated module pre-clerkship curriculum, we found that student pediatric clerkship performance in clinical knowledge and skills did not differ significantly across 11 varied geographic teaching sites when controlling for students' pre-clerkship achievement. Specialty-specific curriculum resources, faculty development tools, and assessment of learning objectives may provide a framework for maintaining intersite consistency when faced with an expanding network of teaching facilities and faculty.

    Abstract Arboviral infections, including dengue (DNV), chikungunya (CHIKV), and Zika (ZIKV), impact both travelers and native populations of endemic regions. We sought to assess the disease burden of arboviral infections in the Military Health System, the validity of arboviral diagnostic codes, and the role of pretravel counseling on insect avoidance precautions. We searched for diagnostic codes consistent with arboviral infection and grouped them into DNV, CHIKV, ZIKV, Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and Other. Demographic data were evaluated. A subset of charts in each category were reviewed for diagnostic validity and travel characteristics. In all, 10,547 unique subjects carried 17,135 arboviral diagnostic codes, including 1,606 subjects (15.2%) coded for DNV, 230 (2.2%) for ZIKV, 65 (0.6%) for CHIKV, and 4,317 (40.9%) for JEV. A chart review was performed on 807 outpatient charts, yielding outpatient diagnostic code positive predictive values of 60.5% (DNV), 15.3% (ZIKV), and 64.5% (CHIKV); there were no valid cases of JEV. Dengue represented the greatest burden of arboviral infections with 2.2 cases per 100,000 military healthcare enrollees over the 2012-2019 fiscal years. More than 80% of subjects with arboviral infection did not have documented pretravel counseling. Arboviral infections represent a significant disease burden in young travelers to endemic regions. After adjustment for diagnostic validity, DNV represented the greatest burden. Diagnostic codes for ZIKV and JEV overestimate the burden of these diseases. Low rates of pretravel visits represent an opportunity for increased emphasis on insect exposure precautions.
