- Existing mentorship programs often overlook the unique needs of marginalized groups, particularly LGBTQIA+ mentees, prompting the development of a specialized curriculum at Harvard.
- The Harvard Sexual and Gender Minority Health Mentoring Program targeted early-, mid-, and late-career faculty to support underrepresented health professionals, focusing on LGBTQIA+ health over six sessions in spring 2022.
- Evaluations showed high participant satisfaction, skill improvements, and behavioral changes, indicating the program's effectiveness in fostering inclusive mentorship and suggesting its potential application in broader training contexts.

The assessment should include a vascular examination of the radial pulse, temperature, colour and capillary refill time.

Prior studies examining other medical specialties' experiences with signaling are quantitative, having not examined the complexity of the residency applicant experience by directly engaging applicants; therefore, this study aimed to describe the lived experiences of OBGYN residency applicants who employed a formal signaling program during the 2022-2023 residency application cycle to assist and guide future residency applicants.
Design: A phenomenological approach was chosen to prescribe a common meaning for OBGYN residency applicants' experiences.
Importance: State-specific abortion restrictions currently affect the training of approximately 44% of obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) residents in the US. Examination of where future trainees apply for residency is important.
Objective: To assess changes in the percentage of applicants to OBGYN residency programs by state based on abortion restrictions in place after the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization (hereafter, Dobbs v Jackson) US Supreme Court decision and examine whether applicants' preference for programs, as suggested by the distribution of application signals that express higher interest, was associated with abortion bans.
