Background: This prospective randomized controlled study examined outpatient clinical teaching in the presence of the patient.
Methods: In 2006, patients in ambulatory internal medicine clinics at the University of Iowa were randomized to have faculty-learner presentations either in their presence or in the conference room. Staffing encounters were timed and faculty, learners and patients completed postencounter surveys.
Results: Participation included 254 patients and 12 faculty. Comparison of patient encounters randomized to exam room (n = 120) or conference room (n = 134) staffing demonstrated increased time spent with the patient in exam room staffing (91% vs. 54% of total staffing time; p < .0001) but no significant differences in mean total staffing time. Patients, learners, and faculty preferred exam room staffing.
Conclusions: Concerns about time efficiency and patient and learner satisfaction during exam room staffing were not supported. This approach may allow attending physicians to maximize billing levels while increasing learner/patient involvement.

Integrating robots and artificial intelligence (AI) into workplaces is becoming increasingly prevalent across various sectors, including hospitality. This trend has raised concerns regarding employee anxiety and the potential for higher turnover intentions, particularly when AI technologies are perceived to undermine professional expertise. This study explores the relationship between awareness of robotics and AI and employee turnover intentions, framed within the Conservation of Resources Theory (COR).

Background: This study aimed to examine how physician performance metrics are affected by the speed of other attendings (co-attendings) concurrently staffing the ED.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using patient data from two EDs between January-2018 and February-2020. Machine learning was used to predict patient length of stay (LOS) conditional on being assigned a physician of average speed, using patient- and departmental-level variables.

Lombarts is professor, Professional Performance & Compassionate Care Research Group, Department of Medical Psychology, Amsterdam University Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, and researcher, Quality of Care Program, Amsterdam Public Health Research Institute, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Purpose: Cultures of wellness, defined as shared norms, values, attitudes, and behaviors that promote personal and professional growth and well-being, are robust determinants of professional fulfillment and professional performance. A major and largely overlooked aspect of a culture of wellness in medicine is residents' perceived appreciation or experience of feeling valued. Considering the pressing workforce and retention challenges that residency programs face, this study addressed the following research questions: How does appreciation at work manifest in the eyes of residents and how do residents perceive appreciation in relation to their professional fulfillment and performance?
Method: Guided by an interpretative phenomenological approach, this qualitative study purposively sampled 12 residents from different specialties, training years, regions in the Netherlands, and genders.
Promoting gender diversity and ergonomic equity in the cardiac surgery operating room.

Article Synopsis
- The operating room infrastructure and equipment were designed primarily for male surgeons, leading to potential ergonomic challenges for the increasing number of female cardiac surgeons.
- Female cardiac surgeons comprise only about 17% of the field and experience higher rates of work-related injuries and ergonomic issues compared to their male counterparts.
- There is a need to adapt OR equipment and surgical tools to better suit female surgeons, which could improve their working conditions and support a more equitable surgical workforce.
