Increasingly, physicians gravitating toward the fields of quality improvement and healthcare management are seeking MBA degrees to supplement their medical training. Approximately half of all U.S. medical schools offer combined MD-MBA degrees, and numerous executive MBA programs exist for physicians in practice. Physicians who enter management are considered change agents for healthcare improvement, yet they receive little support and encouragement from their medical teachers and practicing colleagues. This situation can be rectified by placing greater value on the role of business-trained physicians and subsidizing their tuition for business school.

Background: There are few opportunities in undergraduate medical education that provide formal training in engineering and scientific innovation. Institutions have sought to address student-specific career goals through combined degree programs such as the Medical Scientist Training Program and MD/MBA. However, only a small percentage of medical students pursue these additional degrees.

Many of the healthcare challenges providers are witnessing are business challenges, varying from designing quality improvement initiatives to managing rising costs. Studies have shown those who obtained an MD-MBA degree were better prepared to face these challenges than their traditional counterparts.

In this study, we developed new chiral hybrid perovskites, (R/S-MBA)(GA)PbI, by incorporating achiral guanidinium (GA) and chiral R/S-methylbenzylammonium (R/S-MBA) into the perovskite framework. The resulting materials possess a distinctive structural configuration, positioned between 1D and 2D perovskites, which we describe as 1.5D.

Determining whether preoperative performance-based knee function predicts postoperative performance-based knee function and whether patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) completed by participants can detect these changes could significantly enhance the planning of postoperative rehabilitation for patients following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aims to collect data on performance-based knee function using inertial measurement units (IMUs) worn by participants both preoperatively and postoperatively. PROMs will be completed by the patients before and after surgery to assess their ability to detect the same changes in performance-based knee function measured by the sensors.

Background: While many medical specialties have established links between bibliometric indices, academic rank, leadership roles, and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, there exists a gap within the field of pain medicine. The purpose of our study is to examine the impact of research productivity (h-index, m-index, publications, citations), professional degrees (PhD, MPH, MBA), leadership positions (program director, division chief, chairman), and faculty demographics (gender, nationality of training) on attaining NIH grant funding among pain medicine faculty.
Methods: A complete list of 98 civilian pain medicine programs was included in the study.
