To address this issue, we developed a low-cost abdominal surgery simulator for use during instructive years and tested its efficacy through a proof-of-concept, randomized controlled trial. Our goal is to help medical students integrate foundational anatomy with surgical pathology, enhancing their understanding and translating to academic success on board-relevant topics.

Introduction: The transition from in-person to virtual visits during the COVID-19 pandemic transformed the residency application process. Recognizing the gradual return to in-person interviews and the historical presence of gender disparities within medical fields, the present study sought to evaluate how interview modality influences the success rates of applicants to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) residency programs, with a focus on gender and applicant characteristics.
Methods: Data on PRS residency applicants to a single integrated Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery program from 2017 to 2021 (4 application cycles) were obtained from the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), National Residency Matching Program databases, and public online sources.

This compels institutions to rethink Step 2 preparation strategies, raising concerns about a clerkship's impact on various student groups. Traditionally, medical schools followed the traditional block rotation model for clerkships, which limits longitudinal learning, and many schools are switching to longitudinal integrated clerkships and longitudinal interleaved clerkships (LInCs).
