Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of resident-led and faculty-led initiatives for physician wellness after implementation of a resident wellness program.
Design: We initiated a wellness curriculum with both resident and faculty-led components in a large academic OB/GYN residency program in October 2020. The curriculum was created and evaluated using the Logic model.
Background: Studies have shown up to a 40% discordance between patients' preferred roles in decision-making before and their perceived roles after their visit. This can negatively affect patients' experiences; interventions to minimize this discordance may significantly improve patient satisfaction.
Objective: We aimed to determine whether physicians' awareness of patients' preferred involvement in decision-making before their initial urogynecology visit affects patients' perceived level of involvement after their visit.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of patients' immediate prevoiding pain level after vaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery on their ability to void.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women with and without urinary retention after urogynecologic procedures. Postoperative pain, measured by a visual analog scale, was recorded for each patient before a voiding trial.
Background: Late life depression is a prodromal feature and a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We identified five items in the Geriatric Depression scale (DepE) that are important as a risk for MCI and AD: memory problems, feeling blue, crying, feeling worthless, and trouble concentrating.
Objective: Our goal was to examine the relationship between DepE and cognition in a cohort of Mexican Americans.
