Nothing About Us Without Us: Improving Representation of Disability in Medical School Curriculum Through Explicit Inclusion.

Medical school curricula across the United States fail to adequately prepare students to provide high-quality care to and advocate for patients with disabilities. To address this shortcoming at one large, urban medical school, the Curriculum Committee at Sidney Kimmel Medical College formed a taskforce of students and faculty to evaluate the degree and quality of disability representation in its undergraduate medical education curriculum. Taskforce members solicited input from five community members in various fields of disability advocacy to craft recommendations that reflected this community's vision for disability education in undergraduate medical education.

Privileging Midwives for Abortion Care.

Since the US Supreme Court overturned Dobbs v Jackson, expanded access to abortion has been critical. Abortion is safe, and related complications are rare. The safety of abortion provision by advanced practice clinicians (APCs) is well documented.

Disability-Specific Education in US Internal Medicine Primary Care Residency Programs: A Survey of Program Directors.

The dearth of disability-specific education in United States medical schools and residency programs has perpetuated health care inequities experienced by people with disabilities. In this study, we surveyed internal medicine primary care residency program directors about the disability-specific education they offer their learners, their attitudes toward physicians' preparedness to care for people with disabilities, and their perceived challenges to offering more robust disability-specific education. We developed an on-line survey and forwarded it in 3 weekly emails during October of 2022 to 104 primary care residency program directors.

Larger-diameter trunnions and bolt-reinforced taper junctions are associated with less tribocorrosion in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: Morse taper junction tribocorrosion is recognized as an important failure mode in total hip arthroplasty. Although taper junctions are used in almost all shoulder arthroplasty systems currently available in the United States, with large variation in design, limited literature has described comparable analyses of taper damage in these implants. In this study, taper junction damage in retrieved reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) implants was assessed and analyzed.
