Academic accomplishments of Black neurosurgeons in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: Racial disparities between AA and non-AA neurosurgeons exist in publication quantity and h-index overall but not when these groups are stratified by academic rank. Given that AA neurosurgeons comprise more junior faculty, it is expected that their academic accomplishments will increase as more enter academic practice and current neurosurgeons advance into more senior positions.PMID:38427994 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.JNS231451 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Osteopathic Medical Schools Produce an Increasing Proportion of Family Medicine Residents
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Feb;109(2):114-115.ABSTRACTThe Association of American Medical Colleges reported a shortage of 45,000 primary care physicians in 2020 and projects shortages of 65,000 by 2025 and 104,900 by 2030.1 The shortage has been exacerbated by physician retirement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.2 The increasing deficit is partially because of the decline in medical students entering primary care specialties. Interest in family medicine has been flat for the past 10 years, and only 13% of U.S. allopathic and osteopathic graduates enter Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited family...

Trends in orthoplastic operative exposure for plastic surgery residents in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that plastic surgery residents may be increasingly well-prepared to contribute to orthoplastic care during and following their training. The steady proportion of cases that orthoplastic-type procedures represented over the study period suggests the increase in relevant orthoplastic case volume may be incidental and secondary to an overall rise among all procedures. Given evidence of the benefits of an orthoplastic approach, we recommend consideration of explicit benchmarks for orthoplastic training among plastic surgery residents.PMID:38387419 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjps.2024.02.037 (Source: Hand Surgery)

The state of point-of-care ultrasound training in pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs in the United States: A survey assessment
CONCLUSIONS: This observational survey-based study suggests that fewer than half of pediatric anesthesia training programs in the United States offer point-of-care ultrasound education. Additional research is needed to optimize this education and training in pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs.PMID:38358309 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14851 (Source: Paediatric Anaesthesia)

Sex Disparities Among Fellowship Program Directors in Orthopaedic Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Women are underrepresented among orthopaedic fellowship PDs, especially in certain subspecialties (orthopaedic sports medicine, shoulder and elbow, and adult reconstruction). More research is needed to understand the barriers that impact the representation of women among leadership positions in orthopaedic surgery.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Greater sex diversity among fellowship PDs may help to increase the recruitment of women into orthopaedic subspecialties. The equitable consideration of orthopaedic surgeons from all backgrounds for leadership positions can increase workforce diversity, which may improve the vital...

Should Transplant Nephrology pursue recognition from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)?
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2024 Feb 6. doi: 10.2215/CJN.0000000000000441. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTKidney transplant is not only the best treatment for patients with advanced kidney disease, but it also reduces health-care expenditure. The management of transplant patients is complex as they require special care by transplant nephrologists who have expertise in assessing transplant candidates, understand immunology and organ rejection, have familiarity with peri-operative complications, and have the ability to manage the long-term effects of chronic immunosuppression. This skill set at the intersection of multiple discipl...

The contextual interview: a cross-cutting patient-interviewing approach for social context
Med Educ Online. 2024 Dec 31;29(1):2295049. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2023.2295049. Epub 2024 Feb 6.ABSTRACTPatient interviewing pedagogy in medical education has not evolved to comprehensively capture the biopsychosocial model of healthcare delivery. While gathering a patient's social history targets important aspects of social context it does not adequately capture and account for the real-time reassessment required to understand evolving factors that influence exposure to drivers of health inequities, social determinants of health, and access to supports that promote health. The authors offer a patient interviewing approach...
