Accuracy of Patient-Collected Vital Signs.

Telehealth has emerged as an important clinical setting for managing acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs), potentially reducing emergency department and urgent care overcrowding, and reducing nosocomial transmission.

A Women in Medicine Trainees' Council: a model for women trainee professional development.

Women physicians are promoted less often, more likely to experience harassment and bias, and paid less than their male peers. Although many institutions have developed initiatives to help women physicians overcome these professional hurdles, few are specifically geared toward physicians-in-training. The Women in Medicine Trainees' Council (WIMTC) was created in 2015 to support the professional advancement of women physicians-in-training in the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Medicine (MGH-DOM).
