Background: Health care services require practitioners to be ready to practice (R2P), but evidence shows new graduates vary in R2P. Unfortunately, there is a lack of clarity about what R2P entails.
Method: A content analysis of the empirical literature (Gaur & Kumar, 2018) was used to quantify the elements and higher-order categories of R2P.
Results: Across 108 articles, professional development activities, communication, previous experience, confidence, clinical skills, patient-centered care, integration of knowledge, teamwork, competency, management, and interpersonal skills were used to define R2P at least 25% of the time. We identified seven domains of R2P: clinical experience, social experiences, professional development experiences, personal attributes, cognitive aspects, onboarding experiences, and educational experiences.
Conclusion: Our study empirically defined what is associated with health professionals who were perceived as or perceived themselves as R2P in health care. Our results inform training, preparation, research, and the transition from medical training to the workplace. .

Background/objective: Identifying research priorities of Veterans, MS researchers, and key stakeholders is critical to advance high-quality, evidence-based, and Veteran-specific MS care.
Methods: We used a modified Delphi approach to identify research priorities for Veterans with MS. Electronic surveys were distributed to Veterans with MS (n = 50,975), MS researchers (n = 191), VA healthcare providers (1,337), and funding agency representatives (n = 6) asking about their 2-3 most important research questions that would benefit Veterans with MS for researchers to answer in the next 5-10 years.

Background: A mobile cognition scale for community screening in cognitive impairment with rigorous validation is in paucity. We aimed to develop a digital scale that overcame low education for community screening for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD.
Methods: A mobile cognitive self-assessment scale (CogSAS) was designed through the Delphi process, which is feasible for the older population with low education.

Objectives: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. However, limited data are available regarding the specific characteristics and needs of women with PCOS in Latin America. This consensus sought to evaluate the evidence-based practices for the management of PCOS for Latin American populations, consolidate regional insights, identify eventual gaps in implementation and identify key research opportunities.
