Objective: In 2015, a transition was initiated among the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), American Osteopathic Association (AOA), and American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), resulting in a single accrediting body for residencies and fellowships as of 2020. This study aims to elucidate whether this had an impact on osteopathic students' matching into general surgery residencies, integrated surgery residencies, and surgical fellowships.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Using the Results and Data Residency Match data file and the Results and Data: Specialties Matching Service data from the National Resident Matching Program from 2015 to 2024, data was extracted regarding osteopathic and allopathic match rates into general surgery residency and surgical fellowships, respectively.

Purpose: In 2015, only 13% of radiation oncology residency program websites were found to contain ≥80% of crucial information sought by applicants. In a 'post-COVID world' in which many programs are continuing exclusively virtual interviews, digital resources often serve as first impressions of an organization. Therefore, our objective is to evaluate common website deficiencies and program website comprehensiveness, as well as assess how they correlate with program characteristics.

The historical predominance of White male EMS medical directors may contribute to disparities in patient care. Recruiting and training a diverse cadre of EMS fellows is a key step toward fostering equity in EMS leadership and improving outcomes for diverse communities.
