At the completion of a hematology/oncology fellowship, trainees are likely to enter into a career differing from the one modeled by the faculty providing mentorship and teaching during training. Fellows benefit from open communication with regard to career goals and opportunities starting early in training. To ensure honesty in the process, program directors must be accepting and supportive of house staff selecting careers different from those of the training environment. Following identification of a long-term career goal, program directors may facilitate a smooth transition to the early career through thoughtful inclusion of alternative experiences and additional mentors. Barriers exist, including funding and limited time in training while completing educational requirements, which may make inclusion of the experiences a challenge.

Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia that increases the risk of stroke, primarily due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices offer an alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention. However, the complex and variable anatomy of the LAA presents significant challenges to device design and deployment.

Previous health impact assessments of temperature-related mortality in Europe indicated that the mortality burden attributable to cold is much larger than for heat. Questions remain as to whether climate change can result in a net decrease in temperature-related mortality. In this study, we estimated how climate change could affect future heat-related and cold-related mortality in 854 European urban areas, under several climate, demographic and adaptation scenarios.

Study Objective: A desire for curriculum standardization in obstetrics and gynecology residencies has been identified. No prior investigation of educational experiences in Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (FMIGS) programs has been completed. The purpose of this study was to determine the state of FMIGS didactic education and the perceptions that fellowship directors and fellows have regarding a standardized curriculum.
