In this introduction, the guest editors of the "Next Era in Assessment" special collection frame the invited papers by envisioning a next era in assessment of medical education, based on ideas developed during a summit that convened professional and educational leaders and scholars. The authors posit that the next era of assessment will focus unambiguously on serving patients and the health of society, reflect its sociocultural context, and support learners' longitudinal growth and development. As such, assessment will be characterized as transformational, development-oriented and socially accountable.

Background: Disadvantaged socioeconomic status correlates with adverse outcomes for patients with congenital heart disease. We examined individual and neighborhood characteristics associated with adverse short-term surgical outcomes and investigated potential drivers of disparities.
Methods: Single-center retrospective analysis collected clinical and demographic information on cardiovascular surgery patients over a 15-year period (2007-2022) from the District of Columbia metropolitan area.
Despite earlier attempts to define global health, the discipline's boundaries are unclear, its priorities defined more by funding from high-income countries from the Global North than by global health trends. Governance and resource allocation are challenged by movements such as decolonizing global health. Inherent contradictions within global health derive from its historical evolution from tropical medicine and international health, as well as recent trends in infectious diseases.

Background: Shoulder pain-mostly related to rotator cuff tendinopathy-is the most common reason adults seek upper limb specialty care. Tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps may be part of rotator cuff tendinopathy, which most of us develop as we age. Evidence that these processes are related and that both are part of human shoulder senescence could contribute to a reconceptualization of shoulder tendinopathy as a single set of age-related changes, which are often well-accommodated, sometimes misinterpreted as an injury, and associated with notable nonspecific treatment effects, thus meriting caution regarding the potential for overtreatment.

This discussion paper draws on a range of personal and other published research articles to respond to calls for a re-conceptualization of the concept of . Acknowledging the roots of the concept in developmental and health psychology, the article briefly considers application to fields of practice in formal and informal education, health, social care, counseling, and psychotherapy that underpin approaches to supporting young people to navigate the journey to adulthood. UK service provision is discussed to consider why linear developmental approaches may be problematic, alongside recent calls for a re-conceptualization of what we mean by to successfully understand, support, and enable complex journeys to young adulthood.
