Methods: A literature search was conducted of the EMBASE and PubMed databases from inception to January 2024 per the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Included studies described arthroscopic shoulder surgery simulation training among orthopaedic surgery trainees.
Introduction: In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has seen substantial progress in its utilization, with Chat Generated Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is emerging as a popular language model. The purpose of this study was to test the accuracy and reliability of ChatGPT's responses to frequently asked questions (FAQ) pertaining to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
Methods: The ten most common FAQs were queried from institution patient education websites.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the healthcare industry. There have been limited studies assessing AI model efficacy and accuracy in urology. To our knowledge, there is a lack in research looking at one of the most common urological procedures: the vasectomy.

- Orthopedic surgeons are seeking advanced degrees to improve their qualifications and the study aims to explore how these degrees influence their academic careers, particularly in shoulder and elbow specialties.
- A total of 893 surgeons were studied, with 129 possessing advanced degrees, primarily Master of Science, Master of Business Administration, and Doctor of Philosophy, mostly obtained before medical school.
- Surgeons with advanced degrees showed significantly higher research productivity, measured by a higher h-index, more citations, and a greater number of publications compared to their peers without additional degrees.
