Introduction: Twenty percent of medical school faculty are 60 years or older. These senior-career academic faculty often find a paucity of support for decision-making about late-career transitions.
Methods: To help fill this professional development gap, we developed and tested an interactive workshop to facilitate deliberation and discussion among mid- and late-career faculty in various stages of career transition planning.
Article Synopsis
- Infants with congenital heart defects face a heightened risk of neurodevelopmental disabilities, but the effects of daily environmental chemical exposure on their development remain unclear.
- A study tracked 140 infants post-cardiac surgery, measuring various chemical exposure biomarkers and assessing neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 months using specific developmental scales.
- Findings revealed that higher exposure to certain chemicals, especially phthalates, correlated with significantly lower language and motor scores, indicating that these environmental factors may negatively influence neurodevelopment in this vulnerable population.*
Objective: The US physician workforce is aging, prompting concerns regarding clinical performance of senior physicians. Pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) is a high-acuity, multitasking, diagnostically complex and procedurally demanding specialty. Aging's impact on clinical performance in PEM has not been examined.

We aimed to describe trends in marijuana-related hospital encounters over time in children <6 years and assess the association of state-level marijuana legislation with the rate of marijuana-related hospitalizations.
