Background And Objectives: Limited knowledge is present regarding how fellowship training correlates with graduate outcomes and whether current residents desire an additional year of residency training. The aim of this study is to examine trends in fellowship training and compare residency and practice outcomes between those interested and those not interested in fellowship training as well as the proportion of residents desiring an additional year of residency training.
Methods: We compared data from the American Board of Family Medicine Initial Certification Questionnaire (2017-2019) to the National Graduate Survey (NGS; 2020-2022).
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neurological impairment that typically occurs in patients with liver dysfunction or portosystemic shunting.

- - Role modeling and mentoring play crucial roles in shaping medical students' identities and influencing their choice of specialty, particularly in primary care.
- - A systematic review analyzed 362 articles, finding that 30 met the criteria, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and role modeling in primary care career decisions, with varied influences from both primary and non-primary care physicians.
- - The study highlighted a lack of clear definitions and a need for further research on how mentorship and role modeling specifically affect medical students' career choices in primary care.
Background And Objectives: The United States, like many other nations, faces a chronic shortage of primary care physicians. The purpose of this scoping review was to synthesize literature describing evidence-based institutional practices and interventions that support medical students' choices of primary care specialties, published in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Methods: We surveyed peer-reviewed, published research.
