Experts in Minimally Invasive Surgery are Outperformed by Trained Novices on Suturing Skills
Learning minimally invasive suturing can be challenging, creating a barrier to further implementation, especially with the development of easier methods. Nevertheless, mastering intracorporeal knot tying is crucial when alternative techniques prove inadequate. Therefore, the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) suturing skills of MIS experts are compared with a group of novices during their learning curve on a simulator. (Source: Journal of Surgical Research)

A Roadmap to Establishing Global Oncology as a Priority Initiative within a National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center
J Natl Cancer Inst. 2023 Dec 7:djad255. doi: 10.1093/jnci/djad255. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs the burden of cancers impacting low and middle-income countries (LMICs) is projected to increase, formation of strategic partnerships between institutions in high-income countries and LMIC institutions may serve to accelerate cancer research, clinical care, and training. As the United States (US) National Cancer Institute (NCI) and its Center for Global Health continue to encourage cancer centers to join its global mission, academic cancer centers in the US have increased their global activities. In 2015, the Helen Diller Fa...

The Gender Gap in Surgical Literature: Are We Making Progress?
The percentage of women in surgical leadership roles is not commensurate with percent of women in field of surgery. Citation indexes are used as proxy for scholarly impact and may serve as an indicator of women's progress in academic surgery. We aimed to evaluate gender disparities in authorship of surgery manuscripts in high-impact journals. (Source: Journal of Surgical Research)

Undergraduate College Pathway Programs Designed to Attract and Matriculate Students from Underrepresented Groups into Medicine
CONCLUSIONS: Pathway programs support the acquisition and enhancement of professional skills. Lacking longitudinal or comparison data leads to questions of the long-term impact on diversifying the medical workforce. This article highlights a need for rigorous data collection methods and transparent reporting of participant outcomes to inform programmatic efficacy.PMID:38051167 | DOI:10.14423/SMJ.0000000000001631 (Source: Southern Medical Journal)
