Article Synopsis
- Urbanization is increasingly studied for its effects on species movement and gene flow, particularly focusing on how native species adapt or thrive in urban settings.
- Researchers investigated the genetic structure and gene flow of two small mammals (white-footed mice and big brown bats) with differing dispersal abilities in the Providence, Rhode Island metropolitan area.
- The study found that urbanization significantly impacts mice, leading to reduced migration and inbreeding, while bats maintained strong genetic connectivity due to their ability to fly, highlighting the importance of dispersal capacity in urban ecology.
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted graduate medical education, impacting Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-mandated didactics. We aimed to study the utility of 2 methods of virtual learning: the daily National Surgery Resident Lecture Series (NSRLS), and weekly "SCORE School" educational webinars designed around the Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE) curriculum.
Design And Setting: NSRLS: The National Surgery Resident Lecture Series was a daily virtual educational session initially led by faculty at an individual surgical residency program.
Introduction: The Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE) has presented a workshop annually at the annual meeting of the Association of Program Directors (APDS) to discuss the evolution of the SCORE portal and best practices for implementation within residency training programs.
Methods/results: A review of the literature was undertaken, along with a summation of discussion at these several workshops. A history of the SCORE project and a summary of its organizational framework and content are presented.
Purpose: The Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE) was established in 2004 with 2 goals: to develop a standardized, competency-based curriculum for general surgery residency training; and to develop a web portal to deliver this content. By 2012, 96% of general surgery residency programs subscribed to the SCORE web portal. Surgical educators have previously described the myriad ways they have incorporated SCORE into their curricula.

Methods: This cross-sectional study audited a multilevel stratified sample of 245 patient records from three type B hospitals.
