Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated surgical access disparities in orthopaedic cases at a large academic health center, focusing on how patient demographics affected surgical wait times.
  • Results indicated that while elective surgical cases had longer wait times than urgent ones, demographic factors like race, sex, language, and socioeconomic status did not significantly impact these wait times.
  • Interestingly, although race and socioeconomic status were linked to greater distances from surgical centers, this increased distance did not correspond to longer wait times, suggesting a need for further exploration of healthcare equity issues.

Initially, mistaken as a superinfection in the context of his disease, a diagnosis of orbital abscess was made.

Purpose In their final year, medical students explore prospective residency programs by completing visiting electives and attending interviews during the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) process. Due to COVID-19, visiting electives and in-person interviews were suspended, leaving residency programs searching for alternate ways to share CaRMS information with applicants. This study evaluates the utility of Twitter to share CaRMS-related information prior to and during the pandemic.
