Purpose: Concerns remain regarding the future of the physician-scientist workforce. One goal of scholarly concentration (SC) programs is to give students skills and motivation to pursue research careers. The authors describe SC and student variables that affect students' career plans.
Method: Medical students graduating from the University of Chicago SC program in 2014 and 2015 were studied. The authors measured change in interest in career-long research from matriculation to graduation, and used ordinal logistic regression to determine whether program satisfaction, dissemination of scholarship, publication, and gender were associated with increased interest in a research career.
Results: Among students with low baseline interest in career-long research, a one-point-higher program satisfaction was associated with 2.49 (95% CI 1.36-4.57, P = .003) odds of a one-point-increased interest in a research career from matriculation to graduation. Among students with high baseline interest in career-long research, both publication (OR 5.46, 95% CI 1.40-21.32, P = .02) and female gender (OR 4.83, 95% CI 1.11-21.04, P = .04) were associated with increased odds of a one-point-increased interest in career-long research.
Conclusions: The impact of an SC program on change in career plans during medical school was analyzed. Program satisfaction, publication, and female gender were associated with increased intent to participate in career-long research depending on baseline interest in career-long research. Two ways to bolster the physician-scientist workforce are to improve satisfaction with existing SC programs and to formally support student publication. Future work to track outcomes of SC program graduates is warranted.

Importance: Gender inequity in access to and outcomes of orthopedic care demands research that properly analyses data based on sex and gender. Orthopedic surgeons have an obligation to mitigate gender inequity in the provision of care by addressing the sex and gender bias in orthopedic research methodology, grant funding, and publication demonstrated by this review. This study aimed to review the literature on known gender inequities in orthopedic care, as well as sex and gender bias in orthopedic research methodology, funding, and publication; and to then to outline mitigating strategies.

Drug discovery is a multi-disciplinary effort in which groups with expertise in a range of areas combine in a unified way to achieve a common goal: to deliver a clinical candidate to evaluate a hypothesis for improving human health. As a medicinal chemist this environment has provided multiple opportunities to be involved in cross-discipline interactions that have been both rewarding and led to outcomes that would not have been possible without an intimate interdisciplinary curiosity. Within this article I aim to share some of my experiences with the β2-adrenoceptor that have fostered such synergistic relationships with several disciplines, but in particular with in vitro pharmacologists looking at different ways to stimulate this G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR).

Case conceptualization is central to the success of the therapeutic process. However, integrative case conceptualization research has lagged behind research on integrating therapeutic intervention techniques. A successful case conceptualization provides (a) a dynamic, context-sensitive, yet parsimonious model of the client's functioning; (b) relevant treatment targets and associated assessment procedures; and (c) a treatment plan including intervention phases and potential obstacles.

Article Synopsis
- The interdisciplinary fetal-neonatal neurology (FNN) program combines training in fetal, neonatal, and pediatric care, focusing on how early toxic stressors affect gene-environment interactions and neural development within the first 1,000 days of life.
- Trainees are actively involved in mentor selection and address the cumulative impact of various exposures on both fetal and pediatric health while participating in curriculum evaluations to maintain high educational standards.
- The program emphasizes lifelong learning and adaptation to social determinants of health, aiming to enhance neurological interventions for diverse populations, while integrating principles of neuroplasticity and brain health across the lifespan.
