"Making It Work": A Preliminary Mixed Methods Study of Rural Trauma Care Access and Resources in New Mexico.

Introduction Patients in the rural western United States face challenges accessing trauma and surgical services and are more likely to succumb to their injuries. New Mexico, a rural and medically underresourced state, is a salient space to study these disparities. We examine how travel distance from trauma centers impacts injured patient outcomes and describe care delivery obstacles.

Implementation and Evaluation of an Educational Program for Increasing Diversity and Inclusion in Surgery for Preclinical Students.

This survey study assesses the student-led Service Through Surgery model for increasing diversity and inclusion in surgical education.

Medical Student Values Inform Career Plans in Service & Surgery-A Qualitative Focus Group Analysis.

Background: Diversifying the surgical workforce is a critical component of improving care for underserved patients. To recruit surgeons from diverse backgrounds, we must understand how medical students choose their specialty. We investigate how preclinical students contemplate entering a surgical field.

Service through surgery: A quasi-experimental comparison study on the impact of a preclinical seminar course on diverse mentorship and attitudes towards the underserved.

Background: Increased surgical workforce diversity diminishes health disparities.

Methods: Researchers recruited and nonrandomly enrolled participants into intervention and comparison groups for a quasi-experimental study of the impact of a seminar course on student exposure to diverse mentorship and service through surgery. All metrics were analyzed with chi-squared and paired t-tests.
