Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to examine the relationship between alignment of treatment goals between patients and physicians, patient satisfaction, and overall experience in hand and upper extremity surgery.
- - Among 169 participants, it was found that 62% experienced goal concordant care; however, this alignment did not significantly impact patient satisfaction or experience.
- - Notably, patients earning less than $50,000 showed higher chances of receiving goal discordant care, highlighting potential socioeconomic disparities in treatment outcomes that merit further investigation.
Purpose: Competency-based medical education relies on equitable assessment. This study examined the influence of faculty and trainee gender on assessments of internal medicine (IM) resident performance over time.
Method: A longitudinal analysis of clinical performance assessments from 7 U.
Article Synopsis
- There is a historic underrepresentation of female physicians in orthopaedic surgery in the U.S., especially in specific subspecialties, prompting an analysis of female resident and fellowship match trends from 2017 to 2022.
- Data gathered from the American Medical Association and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education revealed significant growth in female resident participation in orthopaedic fellowships, particularly in the hand subspecialty, which saw an increase from 15.8% to 35.2%.
- Despite the overall rise in female fellows from 2017 to 2022, other subspecialties like spine and sports medicine did not show significant changes in female matching rates during the same period.
Purpose: Underrepresentation and misrepresentation of historically underrepresented populations in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) may have implications for the validity of research results and their application for diverse populations. To evaluate the representation of historically linguistically, racially, and ethnically underrepresented participants in orthopaedic randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and to assess the use of translated and culturally adapted patient reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Methods: Separate and comprehensive literature searches of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were performed to identify RCTs utilizing PROMs between the years 2012 - 2022 among the top five highest 5-year impact factor orthopaedic journals according to the 2021 Journal Citation Reports database.
