Osteopathic students and graduates matching into pathology residency, 2011-2020
Jajosky RP , Coulson HC , Rosengrant AJ , Jajosky AN , Jajosky PG . J Am Osteopath Assoc 2021 121 (2) 149-156 CONTEXT: In the past decade, two changes have affected the pathology residency match. First, the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Match, which did not offer pathology residency, became accredited under a single graduate medical education (GME) system with the Main Residency Match (MRM), which offers pathology residency. Second, substantially fewer United States senior-year allopathic medical students (US MD seniors) matched into pathology residency. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there were major changes in the number and percentage of osteopathic students and physicians (DOs) matching into pathology residency programs over the past decade. METHODS: Pathology match outcomes for DOs from 2011 to 2020 were obtained by reviewing AOA Match data from the National Matching Services and MRM data from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). The number of DOs that filled pathology positions in the MRM was divided by the total number of pathology positions filled in the MRM to calculate the percentage of pathology positions taken by DOs. RESULTS: Over the past decade, there was a 109% increase in the total number of DOs matching into pathology residency (34 in 2011 vs. 71 in 2020). During this time, there was a 23.3% increase in the total number of pathology positions filled in the MRM (476 in 2011 vs. 587 in 2020). Thus, the percentage of pathology residency positions filled by DOs increased from 7.1% in 2011 to 12.1% in 2020. The substantial increase of DOs in pathology occurred simultaneously with a 94.2% increase in the total number of DOs filling AOA/MRM "postgraduate year 1" (PGY-1) positions (3201 in 2011 vs. 6215 in 2020). Thus, the percentage of DOs choosing pathology residency has remained steady (1.06% in 2011 and 1.14% in 2020). In 2020, pathology had the third lowest percentage of filled PGY-1 residency positions taken by DOs, out of 15 major medical specialties. CONCLUSION: The proportion of DOs choosing pathology residency was stable from 2011 to 2020 despite the move to a single GME accreditation system and the stark decline in US MD seniors choosing pathology. In 2020, a slightly higher percentage of DOs (1.14%) chose pathology residency than US MD seniors (1.13%). Overall, DOs more often choose other medical specialties, including primary care. Additional studies are needed to determine why fewer US MD seniors, but not fewer DOs, are choosing pathology residency. |
Comparing the historical limits method with regression models for weekly monitoring of national notifiable diseases reports
Zhou H , Burkom H , Strine TW , Katz S , Jajosky R , Anderson W , Ajani U . J Biomed Inform 2017 76 34-40 To compare the performance of the standard Historical Limits Method (HLM), with a modified HLM (MHLM), the Farrington-like Method (FLM), and the Serfling-like Method (SLM) in detecting simulated outbreak signals. We used weekly time series data from 12 infectious diseases from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). Data from 2006-2010 were used as baseline and from 2011-2014 were used to test the four detection methods. MHLM outperformed HLM in terms of background alert rate, sensitivity, and alerting delay. On average, SLM and FLM had higher sensitivity than MHLM. Among the four methods, the FLM had the highest sensitivity and lowest background alert rate and alerting delay. Revising or replacing the standard HLM may improve the performance of aberration detection for NNDSS standard weekly reports. |

Introduction to the Summary of Notifiable Noninfectious Conditions and Disease Outbreaks - United States
Coates RJ , Stanbury M , Jajosky R , Thomas K , Monti M , Schleiff P , Singh SD . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2016 63 (55) 1-4 With this 2016 Summary of Notifiable Noninfectious Conditions and Disease Outbreaks - United States, CDC is publishing official statistics for the occurrence of nationally notifiable noninfectious conditions and disease outbreaks for the second time in the same volume of MMWR as the annual Summary of Notifiable Infectious Diseases and Conditions. As was the case for the 2015 Summary of Notifiable Noninfectious Conditions and Disease Outbreaks, this joint publication is the result of a request by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) to provide readers with information on all nationally notifiable conditions and disease outbreaks in a single publication. |
Summary of notifiable noninfectious conditions and disease outbreaks: introduction to the summary of notifiable noninfectious conditions and disease outbreaks - United States
Coates RJ , Jajosky RA , Stanbury M , Macdonald SC . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2015 62 (54) 1-4 With this 2015 Summary of Notifiable Noninfectious Conditions and Disease Outbreaks — United States, CDC is publishing official statistics for the occurrence of nationally notifiable noninfectious conditions and disease outbreaks for the first time in the same volume of MMWR as the annual Summary of Notifiable Infectious Diseases (1). | This two-part publication provides the opportunity for readers to review information on all of the nationally notifiable conditions identified by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) in collaboration with CDC. This combined publication is the result of a February 2013 request by CSTE for CDC to present surveillance data on all nationally notifiable conditions and disease outbreaks in the same publication. In recent years, CSTE formalized and expanded the list of nationally notifiable conditions to include foodborne and waterborne disease outbreaks and four noninfectious conditions: acute pesticide-related illness and injury, cancer, silicosis, and elevated blood lead levels.* After discussion within the organization and with subject matter experts at CDC, CSTE concluded that inclusion of information on all nationally notifiable conditions in the same MMWR annual surveillance summary of nationally notifiable conditions would be useful and important for the public and public health professionals. | This Summary of Notifiable Noninfectious Conditions and Disease Outbreaks includes six chapters treating the following subjects: acute pesticide-related illness and injury arising from occupational exposure (2), cancer (3), elevated blood lead levels among employed adults (4), elevated blood lead levels among children (5), silicosis (6), and foodborne and waterborne disease outbreaks (7). Information about nonoccupational acute pesticide-related illness could not be included this year because the data were not ready for publication. However, the CDC programs involved in pesticide-related illness surveillance activities plan to include these data in the 2016 MMWR publication of the annual Summary of Notifiable Noninfectious Conditions and Disease Outbreaks. | Information on elevated lead exposure is provided in two separate chapters because the sources of lead exposure differ between children and adults. Lead exposure among children is caused principally by deteriorated lead paint found in homes whereas lead exposure among adults occurs principally in the workplace. CDC's National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) has primary responsibility for preventing disease from environmental (principally nonoccupational) hazards, and CDC's National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is responsible for preventing disease from workplace hazards. Because of the separate delegation of responsibilities and differences in sources of lead exposure, CDC has a linked surveillance system for lead exposure with NCEH responsible for the Childhood Blood Lead Surveillance (CBLS) system (5) and with NIOSH responsible for the Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance system (ABLES) (4). | Each of the six chapters in this Summary (Noninfectious) presents the most recent statistics available to the CDC program. Local, state, and territorial public health departments and other agencies within those jurisdictions (e.g., departments of labor, environmental protection agencies, cancer registries, and their agents) submit data on these conditions and outbreaks to CDC programs at the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, NCEH, and NIOSH. Previously, the programs compiled and published surveillance data on these noninfectious conditions and disease outbreaks periodically in multiple venues with variable timeframes and formats. | The Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (CSELS) coordinated the development and publication of this summary. Comments and suggestions from readers on this new combined publication are encouraged, including ones about whether the information presented could be made more useful. Comments should be sent to NNDSSweb@cdc.gov. |

Findings from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists' 2008 assessment of state reportable and nationally notifiable conditions in the United States and considerations for the future
Jajosky R , Rey A , Park M , Aranas A , Macdonald S , Ferland L . J Public Health Manag Pract 2011 17 (3) 255-264 CONTEXT: The State Reportable Conditions Assessment (SRCA) is an annual assessment of reporting requirements for reportable public health conditions. The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have gained valuable experience in developing a centralized repository of information about reportable conditions across US states and territories. OBJECTIVE: This study examines the reporting status in states of nationally notifiable conditions used to inform public health and national surveillance initiatives. DESIGN: Conditions included in SRCA are updated annually by using a Web-based tool created by the CSTE. SETTING: SRCA information for 2008 was reported from all US states, 2 cities, and 4 territories. PARTICIPANTS: Respondents included state or territorial epidemiologists (or designees) for reporting jurisdictions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Conditions were classified as explicitly reportable, implicitly reportable, or not reportable. Results were tabulated to determine reporting statistics for the conditions nationwide. RESULTS: The SRCA included 101 conditions recommended for national notification: 93 (92%) were infectious conditions, and 8 (8%) were other (noninfectious or crosscutting) conditions. Of nationally notifiable infectious conditions, 61 (66%) were explicitly reportable in 90% or more jurisdictions; only 2 (25%) noninfectious or crosscutting nationally notifiable conditions were explicitly reportable in 90% or more jurisdictions. Furthermore, 3 nationally notifiable infectious conditions were explicitly reportable in less than 70% of jurisdictions. CONCLUSIONS: Although most nationally notifiable conditions were explicitly reportable, we found that many of these conditions have implicit reporting authority in states. As notifiable condition surveillance moves toward an informatics-driven approach, automated electronic case-detection systems will need explicit information about what conditions are reportable. Future work should address the feasibility of standardizing the format of reportable disease lists and nomenclature used to facilitate data aggregation and interpretation across states. |
