Unfortunately for medical educators, medical student clerkships in emergency medicine (EM) do not occur in isolation from the key institutional issues of organizational politics and resource support. This article discusses some of the political and resource issues in proposing and obtaining support for a mandatory EM student clerkship. Political issues of importance include: 1) securing intradepartmental support from all faculty and the chair for the priority and teaching commitment of a mandatory clerkship; 2) strategizing the different steps and their sequencing for achieving clerkship approval, including cultivation of key supporters, content of a clerkship proposal, and resource support needs; 3) identifying and collecting data from existing EM teaching efforts that will support a mandatory clerkship proposal; 4) establishing a connection between the overall educational outcome objectives for students of the school and the educational outcomes for students taking the EM clerkship; and 5) developing solutions to logistic issues in clerkship implementation (availability of an adequate number of teaching sites; establishment of equivalence of educational experiences across all sites). A list of resources for a mandatory clerkship, an "ideal" budget, and potential rationales to advocate for resource support from specific funding sources are included.

January 2025
Department of Psychology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Milan, Italy.
Introduction: In the so-called "new career era," career transitions and employability have attracted growing attention. For elite athletes, the Dual Career experiences may be regarded as a protective factor during various career transitions, with the end-of-career transition being closely linked to employability. This contribution aims to explore the dual career paths of athletes through the lens of graduate employability, as perceived by the individuals themselves.

J Marriage Fam
February 2025
Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Objective: This study examines perceptions of changes in intimate relationships among partnered, immigrant women in New York City during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. We pay close attention to how structural oppression, particularly related to undocumented immigration status, shaped women's experiences with their intimate partners during a period of social upheaval.
Background: COVID-19 has exacerbated many existing structural inequities and subsequent stressors that have been shown to have an adverse effect on intimate relationships, including increased economic instability and mental health distress.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Real World Data Infrastructure: A Big-Data Resource for Study of the Impact of COVID-19 in Patient Populations With Immunocompromising Conditions.
Open Forum Infect Dis
January 2025
Northwell, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, New Hyde Park, New York, USA.
Background: We developed a United States-based real-world data resource to better understand the continued impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on immunocompromised patients, who are typically underrepresented in prospective studies and clinical trials.
Methods: The COVID-19 Real World Data infrastructure (CRWDi) was created by linking and harmonizing de-identified HealthVerity medical and pharmacy claims data from 1 December 2018 to 31 December 2023, with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virologic and serologic laboratory data from major commercial laboratories and Northwell Health; COVID-19 vaccination data; and, for patients with cancer, 2010 to 2021 National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry data.
Results: The CRWDi contains 4 cohorts: patients with cancer; patients with rheumatic diseases receiving pharmacotherapy; noncancer solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients; and people from the general population including adults and pediatric patients.
