Background: A vital element of the Next Accreditation System is measuring and reporting educational Milestones. Little is known about changes in Milestones levels during the transition from residency to fellowship training.
Objective: Evaluate the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestones' ability to provide a linear trajectory of professional development from general pediatrics residency to neonatal-perinatal medicine (NPM) fellowship training.
Methods: We identified 11 subcompetencies that were the same for general pediatrics residency and NPM fellowship. We then extracted the last residency Milestone level and the first fellowship Milestone level for each subcompetency from the ACGME's Accreditation Data System on 89 subjects who started fellowship training between 2014 and 2018 at 6 NPM fellowship programs. Mixed-effects models were used to examine the intra-individual changes in Milestone scores between residency and fellowship after adjusting for the effects of the individual programs.
Results: A total of 1905 subcompetency Milestone levels were analyzed. The average first fellowship Milestone levels were significantly lower than the last residency Milestone levels (residency, mean 3.99 [SD = 0.48] vs fellowship 2.51 [SD = 0.56]; < .001). Milestone levels decreased by an average of -1.49 (SD = 0.65) from the last residency to the first fellowship evaluation. Significant differences in Milestone levels were seen in both context-dependent subcompetencies (patient care and medical knowledge) and context-independent subcompetencies (professionalism).
Conclusions: Contrary to providing a linear trajectory of professional development, we found that Milestone levels were reset when trainees transitioned from general pediatrics residency to NPM fellowship.

Prioritising Competencies in Clinician Educator Training in Residency Programmes.

Introduction: Although Clinician Educator Tracks (CETs) have been developed for postgraduate trainees, more clarity is needed regarding which competencies are most relevant to resident and fellow physicians (housestaff) seeking to become Clinician Educators (CEs).
Methods: We used the Clinician Educator Milestones, an established framework for competencies at the faculty level, to perform a targeted needs assessment at a large academic institution from April-May 2023. Educational leaders in undergraduate (UME), graduate (GME) and senior medical education (SME) leadership roles were asked to prioritise the Clinician Educator Milestones subcompetencies for a 1-year track.
Biological Switches: Past and Future Milestones of Transcription Factor-Based Biosensors.
ACS Synth Biol
December 2024
Centre for Synthetic Biology, Ghent University, Ghent 9000, Belgium.
Since the description of the operon in 1961 by Jacob and Monod, transcriptional regulation in prokaryotes has been studied extensively and has led to the development of transcription factor-based biosensors. Due to the broad variety of detectable small molecules and their various applications across biotechnology, biosensor research and development have increased exponentially over the past decades. Throughout this period, key milestones in fundamental knowledge, synthetic biology, analytical tools, and computational learning have led to an immense expansion of the biosensor repertoire and its application portfolio.

Introduction: Benralizumab, a monoclonal IgG antibody, has emerged as a key therapeutic agent in severe asthma by specifically targeting eosinophils, pivotal cells that drive inflammation and tissue damage. Over the past two decades, the availability of such targeted therapies has allowed patients to achieve better disease control. Real-world evidence has consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of benralizumab in managing severe asthma.

Background: The impact of acute mountain sickness (AMS) on individuals ascending to plateaus, soon after exposure to high altitudes, is well-documented. However, the specific relationship between AMS and alterations in blood parameters remains unclear.
Methods: A total of 40 healthy volunteers were recruited.
Impact of Social Deprivation on Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Treatment Timeline.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of area deprivation index (ADI) on treatment timelines of patients with cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). We hypothesize that increased social deprivation will correlate with increased time between care milestones from presentation to surgery.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with CuTS who underwent surgical intervention at a single academic institution.
