Introduction: While females make up more than half of medical school matriculants, they only comprise about one third of emergency medicine (EM) residents. We examined EM residency cohorts with entering years of 2014-2017 to estimate the ratio of males to females among residents and program leadership to determine what correlation existed, if any, between program leadership and residency gender distributions.
Methods: We identified 171 accredited EM residency programs in the United States with resident cohorts entering between 2014-2017 with publicly available data that were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines why fewer females choose emergency medicine (EM) residencies despite more women in medical school, focusing on current residents' perceptions regarding gender influences in ranking programs and education.* -
- A web-based survey was conducted, revealing that the personality of residents, location, and facility type were the most significant factors in creating rank lists, with gender-related factors also playing a critical role.* -
- Female respondents placed greater importance on gender composition within residency programs than males, indicating that the presence of women among residents, leadership, and attending physicians heavily influenced their decisions.*
Introduction: Increases in emergency department (ED) crowding and boarding are a nationwide issue resulting in worsening patient care and throughput. To compensate, ED administrators often look to modifying staffing models to improve efficiencies.
Methods: This study evaluates the impact of implementing the waterfall model of physician staffing on door-to-doctor time (DDOC), door-to-disposition time (DDIS), left without being seen (LWBS) rate, elopement rate, and the number of patient sign-outs.
Bioprinting of Collagen Type I and II Aerosol Jet Printing for the Replication of Dense Collagenous Tissues.
Front Bioeng Biotechnol
November 2021
Collagen has grown increasingly present in bioprinting, however collagen bioprinting has mostly been limited to the extrusion printing of collagen type I to form weak collagen hydrogels. While these weak collagen hydrogels have their applications, synthetic polymers are often required to reinforce gel-laden constructs that aim to replicate dense collagenous tissues found . In this study, aerosol jet printing (AJP) was used to print and process collagen type I and II into dense constructs with a greater capacity to replicate the dense collagenous ECM found in connective tissues.
