Purpose: Despite numerous mentoring strategies to promote academic success and eligibility in medicine, Black students remain disproportionately underrepresented in medicine. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review to identify the mentoring practices available to Black pre-medical students, medical students and medical residents, specifically the mentoring strategies used, their application, and their evaluation.
Method: Between May 2023 and October 2023, the authors conducted a literature review.
Article Synopsis
- Illness presenteeism (IP) is when healthcare professionals work while sick, and this phenomenon has gained attention, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to its impact on personal well-being and patient care.* -
- The study reviewed 4,277 articles and found that IP is influenced by cultural expectations, particularly the pressure to not appear weak, along with practical issues like heavy workloads and lack of sick leave options.* -
- Despite being problematic, IP is deeply entrenched in medical culture, and future research is needed to explore the complexities of this issue from various perspectives while considering potential educational and policy solutions.*
Background: Disparities exist in underrepresented in medicine (URiM) resident representation. This review examines recent trends in resident diversity, URiM recruitment strategies, and identifies research gaps in equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) for URiM residents.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and ERIC databases were searched for studies published from 2017 to 2022 on URiM resident prevalence and recruitment initiatives.
Background: Illness presenteeism (IP) is the phenomenon where individuals continue to work despite illness. While it has been a prevalent and longstanding issue in medicine, the recent onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing movement to improve physician wellness brings renewed interest in this topic. However, there have been no comprehensive reviews on the state of literature of this topic.

Objectives/method: To explore these experiences within linguistic minority populations by completing a literature review and qualitative interviews. Interviews were conducted in Ottawa, Canada, with francophone patients.
Intertrochanteric hip fractures are treated by fixation with either an intramedullary (IM) Nail or Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS). It is unknown whether one surgery type has better post-operative rehabilitative outcomes for the hip fracture population. This systematic review aims to compare post-operative rehabilitation outcomes of intertrochanteric hip fractures treated via IM Nails versus DHS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAtherosclerosis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with revascularization remaining a cornerstone of management. Conventional revascularization modalities remain challenged by target vessel reocclusion-an event driven by mechanical, thrombotic, and proliferative processes. Despite considerable advancements, restenosis remains the focus of ongoing research.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Incorporating focused cardiac ultrasonography (FoCUS) into clinical examination could improve the diagnostic yield of bedside patient evaluation.
Purpose: To compare the accuracy of FoCUS-assisted clinical assessment versus clinical assessment alone for diagnosing left ventricular dysfunction or valvular disease in adults having cardiovascular evaluation.
Data Sources: English-language searches of MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science from 1 January 1990 to 23 May 2019 and review of reference citations.
Background: Leadership by point-of-care and senior managers is increasingly recognized as critical to the acceptance and use of research evidence in practice. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the leadership behaviours of managers that are associated with research use by clinical staff in nursing and allied health professionals.
Methods: A mixed methods systematic review was performed.
