Division of Education, American College of Surgeons, Chicago, IL; Department of Surgery, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL. Electronic address:
Transitions during the careers of surgical trainees and surgeons may be associated with risks that have the potential to negatively impact delivery of safe and effective patient care and the professional standing of individuals involved in delivering care. Simulation-based education interventions that address specific needs during the transitions can be very helpful in mitigating the risks. These interventions should be based on contemporary educational frameworks and strategies relating to teaching, learning, and assessment.

Oncotarget
March 2025
Worldwide Innovative Network (WIN) Association - WIN Consortium, Chevilly-Larue, France.
The human genome project ushered in a genomic medicine era that was largely unimaginable three decades ago. Discoveries of druggable cancer drivers enabled biomarker-driven gene- and immune-targeted therapy and transformed cancer treatment. Minimizing treatment not expected to benefit, and toxicity-including financial and time-are important goals of modern oncology.

Neurology
April 2025
School of Law, University of Virginia, Charlottesville.
This consensus position statement of the American Academy of Neurology, American Epilepsy Society, and Epilepsy Foundation of America updates prior 1994 and 2007 position statements on seizures, driver licensure, and medical reporting. Key consensus positions include the following: (1) in the United States, national driving standards promulgated through a system such as the Uniform Law Commission would reduce confusion and improve adherence with state driving standards; (2) state licensing criteria for medical conditions should be promulgated by regulations and guidelines based on enabling legislation rather than in statutes themselves and should be developed by medical advisory boards working in collaboration with departments of motor vehicles; (3) licensing criteria should be equitable, nondiscriminatory, objective, and compatible with comparable risks in other populations; (4) a minimum seizure-free interval of 3 months should ordinarily be required before driving in all cases and should be extended in individual cases based on review of favorable and unfavorable features by medical advisory boards; (5) individuals with exclusively provoked seizures attributable to provoking factors that are unlikely to reoccur in the future may not require a seizure-free interval before resuming driving; (6) individuals with previously well-controlled epilepsy who experience seizures due to short-term interruptions of antiseizure medications in the setting of hospitalization or practitioner-directed medication-titration may not require a seizure-free interval before driving once previously effective levels of antiseizure medications have been resumed; (7) patients and practitioners should pause driving during tapering and following discontinuation of an antiseizure medication if another such medication is not introduced; (8) individuals whose cognition or coordination is impaired due to medications used to prevent seizures should refrain from driving; (9) health care practitioners should be allowed but not mandated to report drivers who pose an elevated risk; but (10) neither a decision to report a patient suspected of being at elevated risk nor a decision declining to report a patient suspected of being at elevated risk should be subject to legal liability; (11) nations, states, and municipalities should provide alternative methods of transportation and accommodations for individuals whose driving privileges are restricted due to medical conditions.

Introduction: Since 2020, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) have collaborated to link the AAOS Orthopaedic In-Training Examination (OITE) and the ABOS part I Certification Examination, allowing the identification of a minimum score on each annual OITE that corresponds to a minimum passing part I score. The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of this examination linking over these past 3 years.
Methods: From 2020 to 2022, the AAOS provided each graduating resident's OITE score; from 2021 to 2023, the ABOS provided each examinee's ABOS part I pass-fail result.
