Evaluation of Radiofrequency Endometrial Ablation: A 17-year Canadian Experience.

Study Objective: The purpose of this study was to better elucidate radiofrequency endometrial ablation (REA) durability by assessing the probability of failure as defined by need for postablation hysterectomy. Age at index REA, duration from REA until hysterectomy, and REA failure (REAF) risk factors were analyzed.

Design: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using patient data between April 1, 2002, and March 31, 2019.

Exploring the consequences of combining medical students with and without a background in biomedical sciences.

Context: Medical schools have tended to admit students with strong backgrounds in the biomedical sciences. Previous studies have shown that those with backgrounds in the social sciences can be as successful in medical school as those with science backgrounds. However, the experience of being a 'non-science' student over time has not been well described.
