Aims: This study aims to evaluate the success of the cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging Academy Berlin's transition from in-person to online CMR imaging training during the global pandemic 2020 and to gather recommendations for future courses.
Methods And Results: We conducted an online survey targeting CMR course participants from both the pre-pandemic, in-person era and the pandemic, online era of the CMR Academy Berlin. The survey primarily used Likert-type questions to assess participants' experiences and preferences.A total of 61 out of 158 invited participants (38.61%) completed the survey, with 31 (50.82%) being in-person alumni and 30 (49.18%) being online alumni. Both in-person [83.87% (26/31)] and online [83.33% (25/30)] participants rated the course as either 'very good' or 'excellent', and both groups found the course either 'extremely helpful' or 'very helpful'. However, a higher percentage of in-person participants [96.77% (30/31)] felt comfortable asking questions compared to online participants [83.33% (25/30); = 0.025]. The majority in both groups preferred a written exam [total: 75.41% (46/61); in-person alumni: 77.42% (24/31); online alumni 73.33% (22/30)]. In terms of course format preferences, in-person courses were preferred by both in-person alumni [38.71% (12/31)] and online alumni [60% (18/30)], almost as much as a hybrid format combining in-person and online elements [in-person alumni: 41.94% (13/31), online alumni: 30% (9/30)].
Conclusion: The transition from in-person to online CMR training at the CMR Academy Berlin was successful in maintaining overall satisfaction. However, there is room for improvement in terms of increased interaction, particularly for online participants. Future CMR- and potentially also cardiac computer tomography-courses should consider adopting a hybrid format to accommodate participants' preferences and enhance their learning experience, especially to gain level II competency, whereas level I virtual only might be sufficient.

Introduction: Over the last 20 years nationwide, the number of MD-MBA programs have seen an increase from 6 to 65 with an estimated annual enrollment of 500 students. Many of the healthcare challenges providers are witnessing are business challenges, varying from designing quality improvement initiatives to managing rising costs. Studies have shown those who obtained an MD-MBA degree were better prepared to face these challenges than their traditional counterparts.

Researchers have examined the effects of campus ostracism on students' perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. However, little is known about the relationships between campus ostracism and student organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Drawing on social identity theory, we aim to develop and test a moderated mediation model regarding perceived insider status (PIS) as a mediator and resilience as a moderator to explain how and when campus ostracism influences student OCB.

Purpose: To identify key molecular components within the femoroacetabular impingement hip and compare the findings between male and female patients across varying age groups.
Methods: All patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) without hip dysplasia were included. During hip arthroscopy, performed at University of Wisconsin Health, loose articular cartilage, excess synovium, damaged labral tissue, and minimal adipose tissue were debrided only as needed for visualization and tissue repair purposes and collected.
