Hiding in Plain Sight: Resident Remediation in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Objective: Residents who are in need of remediation are prevalent across residency programs and often tend to be deficient in multiple competencies that the American Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has established. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of residents requiring remediation, understand the scope of the challenges in resident remediation, and assess what resources were used to aid in remediation in obstetrics and gynecology programs.

Design: An anonymous survey was emailed to obstetrics and gynecology program directors.

Education in Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction among American Urogynecologic Society Members: An Unmet Need.

Objectives: Sexual function is an important component of women's health that has not been traditionally emphasized during medical training, suggesting that further education is needed to provide comprehensive patient care. The purpose of this study was to describe education and interest in female sexual function among urogynecology providers.

Methods: Conducted in 2020, this was a cross-sectional survey of American Urogynecologic Society members assessing educational and clinical experience with female sexual function.

Pelvic Exam Laws in the United States: A Systematic Review.

Laws regulating patient care are an essential component of protecting patients and doctors alike. No studies have previously examined what laws exist regarding pelvic examinations in the United States (US). This study systematically reviews and compares regulation and legislation of pelvic examinations in the U.

Cross-Sectional Study of Resident-Reported Surgical Experience in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery.

Importance: Comprehensive surgical training is an essential component of obstetrics and gynecology residency, yet subspecialty experience may be declining.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe trends in reported obstetrics and gynecology resident experience in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS).

Study Design: This study was a retrospective analysis of national case log reports from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) for obstetrics and gynecology residents.

Improving the Obstetrics and Gynecology Learning Environment Through Faculty Development.

Introduction: The learning environment is shaped by both formal and hidden curricula. Faculty play a critical role in the learning environment but may not be prepared to address the hidden curriculum. This workshop teaches faculty how to manage the hidden curriculum's challenges.

An Inside Look: Qualitative Study of Underrepresented in Medicine Recruitment Strategies used by OB-GYN Program Directors.

Introduction: Since 2019, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has mandated that all residency programs develop initiatives to recruit underrepresented in medicine (URiM) applicants to increase diversity among physicians. The literature has described a variety of recruitment strategies, but the underlying viewpoints of leaders most responsible for these efforts have not been characterized. We aimed to describe the experience and perspective of program directors around URiM recruitment.

Discrimination, Microaggressions, and Perceptions of Institutional Response in an Academic Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.

Introduction Discrimination in the workplace remains a barrier to advancing diversity and inclusion in the physician workforce. This study sought to examine experiences of discrimination, microaggressions, and perceptions of the institution's response in an academic obstetrics and gynecology department. Method All obstetrics and gynecology faculty, fellows, and residents were invited to complete an anonymous, Institutional Review Board-approved cross-sectional survey from February through June 2019.

Striving for Diversity: National Survey of OB-GYN Program Directors Reporting Residency Recruitment Strategies for Underrepresented Minorities.

Objective: To characterize strategies among OB-GYN residency programs to recruit underrepresented minorities in medicine, the relative effectiveness of these approaches, and the associated barriers to recruitment.

Design: We conducted a survey to solicit strategies from OB-GYN PDs at 253 United States (U.S.

Use of Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery Testing to Assess Gynecologic Surgeons: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 10-Years Experience.

Study Objective: To compare the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) exam scores between obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) and general surgery (GS) providers.

Design: This is a retrospective cohort study at a single institution from July 2007 to May 2018. Categorical and continuous variables were analyzed with χ2 test, t test, and Wilcoxon rank sum test.

Barriers to care and reproductive considerations for transmasculine gender affirming surgery.

This study suggests the majority of patients undergoing gender affirming surgery do not regret their decisions based on their limited future fertility options.

Meeting Milestones: Results of a Quality-Improvement Curriculum to Achieve Cost-Conscious Care.

There is a lack of residency education in cost-conscious care. We implemented a costing and quality improvement (QI) curriculum to Obstetrics and Gynaecology trainees using "Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC)," and assessed its educational impact. The curriculum included didactic and practical portions.

Teaching Patient Handoffs to Medical Students in Obstetrics and Gynecology: Simulation Curriculum and Assessment Tool.

Introduction: Patient handoffs, the communications required for the safe transfer of patient care, are known to be a common source of medical errors. Simulation exercises are effective techniques for teaching the procedures and patient interaction skills involved in a handoff. We developed a teaching tool that allows students to individually interact with a simulated patient, develop a treatment plan, and practice a handoff to another provider.
