Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between residency application data and the subsequent performance of surgical graduates, focusing on traits like surgical judgment, leadership, and medical knowledge.
- Despite evaluating 258 graduates and various factors such as USMLE scores and clerkship honors, the findings reveal only weak associations with overall performance ratings.
- Ultimately, the research concludes that the analyzed preresidency variables do not effectively predict residency graduate performance, suggesting a disconnect between application data and actual performance in residency.
Preventing Spinal-induced Hypotension During Elective Cesarean Sections.

November 2024
Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to implement an evidence-based intraoperative protocol to reduce the incidence of spinal-induced hypotension during elective cesarean sections.
Design: A quality improvement project.
Methods: After receiving education, anesthesia providers implemented the intraoperative protocol for 6 weeks on elective cesarean sections.
Importance: It is uncertain whether current measures of achievement during medical school predict exceptional performance during surgical residency. One surrogate of excellence during residency may be awards, especially those given for teaching and annual overall accomplishment.
Objective: Determine whether markers of superior performance during medical school documented in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) application and student record correlated with receiving awards during residency.
In the United States, states and local jurisdictions set vaccination requirements for school attendance, conditions and procedures for exemptions from these requirements, grace periods for submitting documentation, and provisional enrollment for students who need more time to be vaccinated. States annually report data to CDC on the number of children in kindergarten who meet, are exempt from, or are in the process of meeting requirements. Data reported by 49 states and the District of Columbia (DC) for the 2023-24 school year were used for national- and state-level estimates of the following measures: complete vaccination with required doses of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR), diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP), poliovirus vaccine (polio), and varicella vaccine (VAR); exemptions from vaccination; and school attendance while meeting requirements.
