Objective: This study aimed to assess gender dynamics during Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) Grand Rounds.
Design: This was an observational cohort study of Ob/Gyn Grand Rounds introductions at a large academic center. Ob/Gyn Grand Rounds introductions from December 2016 to February 2020 were included. Audio and video components of introductions for those with doctorate degrees were reviewed. Each named reference to the presenter and use of descriptors were collected. Statistical analyses included Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Student's t-test for continuous variables.
Setting: This study was completed at the University of Wisconsin in the Department of Ob/Gyn PARTICIPANTS: Ob/Gyn Grand Rounds introducers who had complete audio and video components of introductions for those with doctorate degrees.
Results: Sixty-four Grand Rounds introductions were reviewed; 57 met inclusion criteria. The majority of introducers and presenters were women. Consistent use of "doctor" was similar by men and women introducers (50% vs. 29%, p = 0.427). Assistant professors were more likely to maintain professional address during introductions, compared to associate or full professors (86% vs. 0% vs. 10%, p < 0.001). Trainees were less likely than faculty to be addressed professionally at any time during introductions (42% vs. 81%, p = 0.017). Descriptors were used for men and women presenters, though men received more female-gendered descriptors than women (5 vs. 1, p = 0.011). Women introducers used productivity descriptors less often than men introducers (8 [15.1%] vs. 5 [55.6%] (p = 0.015)).
Conclusions: Use of professional address was associated with academic rank, but not gender. Men endorsed and received more descriptors emphasizing accomplishments, highlighting qualifications as an expert. Given the professional environment, all Grand Rounds presenters should be introduced using professional titles.

BMC Med Educ
December 2024
Emergency Department, Maribor University Medical Centre, Maribor, Slovenia.
Background: A mnemonic is a cognitive aid frequently used in health-related education. The main goal of this study was to develop and test a 5-finger mnemonic for teaching schoolchildren the theoretical aspects of adult Basic Life Support (BLS) steps, a process rarely described in the context of instructing laypersons.
Methods: Experts from the European Resuscitation Council's Basic Life Support Science and Education Committee (ERC BLS SEC), specializing in teaching adult BLS, participated in the first phase of the pilot study.
Improving diagnosis of primary aldosteronism through education: a modified Delphi study to identify key learning points.
Ther Adv Chronic Dis
December 2024
Monash University, Clayton, VIC, Australia.
Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common endocrine cause of secondary hypertension and can be effectively managed, or even cured, with targeted treatment. Despite this, it remains largely undiagnosed leaving a significant patient population with resistant hypertension and modifiable cardiovascular risk.
Objective: To determine expert consensus on key information about PA that should ideally be taught to medical students as a step toward improving the detection of this common, underdiagnosed, and often easily treated condition.
