Individuals living in carceral systems oftentimes are not prioritized in ways that ensure that their rights and dignity are protected. Many families and communities have been and continue to be separated and negatively impacted by disparities in judges’ sentencing practices resulting in inequities in treatment and outcomes. As we continue our series on learning the language of health equity, we elucidate health inequities for justices-involved individuals in correctional facilities. This paper contributes to systematically identifying the role of nurse researchers in eliminating health inequities for adults living in correctional health settings to improve health outcomes. It is our determined belief that only through heightening the awareness of nurses on workforce and public biases about people living in prison and their deservedness of compassionate care; advocating for the elimination of stigmatizing and dehumanizing care practices that are regularly levied on them across settings; and including them in health-related research, that we can achieve health equity for this population.

Precision medicine has revolutionised targeted cancer treatments; however, its implementation in ovarian cancer remains challenging. Diverse tumour biology and extensive heterogeneity in ovarian cancer can limit the translatability of genetic profiling and contribute to a lack of biomarkers of treatment response. This review addresses the barriers in precision medicine for ovarian cancer, including obtaining adequate and representative tissue samples for analysis, developing functional and standardised screening methods, and navigating data infrastructure and management.

Despite intensive attempts to create scholarship equity at academic medical centers, clinician educators continue to face a challenging professional promotion environment that puts them at risk for burnout, stalled career advancement, and abandonment of academic medicine altogether. Coaching, which has a wealth of supportive evidence from outside of medicine, is distinguished by (1) being driven by the agentic coachee that is inherently capable, creative, and resourceful, (2) not requiring the coach and coachee to have shared content expertise, and (3) not being centered around transfer of expertise from the more knowledgeable or experienced party to the recipient. Initial evidence from within medicine indicates that coaching reduces burnout and improves learner self-reflection, teaching effectiveness, goal setting, reflective capacity, professional identity formation, career planning, and development of adaptive expertise.
