Exposure to the reproductive endocrinology subspecialty among obstetrics and gynecology residency programs.

Purpose: Prior studies found that Ob-gyn trainees believe they have inadequate experience in the REI subspecialty. We evaluated the amount of time devoted to REI within the 4-year rotation schedule of ACGME-accredited Ob-gyn residency programs.

Methods: A list of current Ob-gyn residency programs, both with and without REI fellowships, was created using ACOG and ACGME databases.

Cancer beliefs and diet self-management among cancer survivors with comorbid diabetes.

Purpose: Illness beliefs impact disease self-management; however, little is known about the impact of patients' beliefs about one illness on the management of another illness. We sought to understand how cancer beliefs impact diet self-management for cancer survivors with diabetes and whether a change in beliefs leads to a change in dietary adherence.

Methods: Seventy-eight participants with diabetes and recently diagnosed early-stage breast, prostate, lung, or colon cancer were recruited.
