Hysterectomy Route and Numbers Reported by Graduating Residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology Training Programs.

Objective: To characterize trends in self-reported numbers and routes of hysterectomy for obstetrics and gynecology residents using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) case log database.

Methods: Hysterectomy case log data for obstetrics and gynecology residents completing training between 2002-2003 and 2017-2018 were abstracted from the ACGME database. Total numbers of hysterectomies and modes of approach (abdominal, laparoscopic, and vaginal) were compared using bivariate statistics, and trends over time were analyzed using simple linear regression.

Implementation of a vision-screening program in rural northeastern United States.

Background: Rural populations comprise almost 20% of the US population and face unique barriers in receiving health care. We describe the implementation of a medical student-run free vision-screening clinic as a strategy to overcome barriers in accessing eye care in New Hampshire and Vermont.

Methods: Medical students were trained by an ophthalmologist to administer screening eye examinations.
