Medical education needs to be redesigned so that it is an equally shared responsibility of clinicians and physician-scientists, with greatly enhanced opportunities for student-faculty bonding. Traditional departments and divisions must be restructured to provide more thoughtful and effective support for academic clinicians and physician-scientists. Existing infrastructure should be improved so that in exchange for the commitment of time and effort for teaching, the faculty members receive tangible services from their institutions (e.g., information technology that actually saves time, state-of-the art teaching aids that are user friendly, streamlined administrative oversight to avoid duplicate submissions to regulatory offices, more helpful grant management and accounting).

There has been considerable discussion of how best to address racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes, both globally and specifically in the United States. Increasing diversity among future clinicians and physician-scientists has been identified as a key strategy for addressing and correcting health disparities among underrepresented populations. Increasingly, medical schools, the institutions that train clinicians, have embraced the practice of holistic review for evaluating applicants and virtually all medical schools have reported contributing to a diverse physician workforce as an important aspect of their educational mission.

Background: There is a significant lag in integrating ethnically diverse healthcare trainees as clinician scientists. Although this gap is acknowledged, it is mostly focused physician scientists with a marked lag in dental scientists and the other healthcare fields such as the physician assistant program. We report on the outcome of three cohorts of underserved and economically disadvantaged trainees from a National Institute of Health Heart and Lung Blood Institute R25 summer training program with participants from four Rutgers Health Science schools.

Background: Almost 40% of the Nobel-Prize-winning discoveries in medicine are made by physician-scientists, who are a driving force in the evolving medical, academic and research landscape. However, their training has few defined milestones. To be effective clinicians, educators and researchers, they need to maintain and hone skills, often via continuous professional development (CPD) activities covering different domains.

Article Synopsis
- In the 1960s, Dr. Waldenström identified "benign monoclonal gammopathy," a condition in asymptomatic patients with detectable monoclonal protein, which later led to the recognition of its potential progression to multiple myeloma by Dr. Kyle in 1978, coining the term MGUS.
- Following this, Drs. Kyle and Greipp in 1980 proposed the term "smoldering multiple myeloma" (SMM) for asymptomatic cases that didn't fit existing definitions, establishing criteria based on plasma cell percentage and serum protein levels.
- Current research focuses on advanced technologies (like whole genome sequencing) to enhance understanding of monoclonal gammopathy and improve individualized

Clinically approved therapeutics for obstetric conditions are extremely limited, with over 80% of drugs lacking appropriate labeling information for pregnant individuals. The pathology for many of these obstetric conditions can be linked to the placenta, necessitating the development of therapeutic platforms for selective drug delivery to the placenta. When evaluating therapeutics for placental delivery, literature has focused on ex vivo delivery to human placental cells and tissue, which can be difficult to source for non-clinical researchers.
