Trends in gender and ethnic diversity among US psychiatry residents: A 5-year analysis.

This study aims to analyze trends in gender and ethnic diversity among incoming US psychiatry residents over the past 5 years. Physician diversity improves patient care as minority physicians often serve underserved communities and address health disparities. Increasing the representation of women and underrepresented minorities in medicine is essential for preparing a physician workforce that can effectively care for an increasingly diverse population.

Transplant hepatology and diversity: A decade-long analysis (2013-2022).

Diversity among physicians has been shown to positively impact patient care. Physicians from minority backgrounds are more likely to serve underserved communities and be involved in health disparities research. Efforts to increase the proportion of underrepresented minorities and women in medicine will help prepare a physician workforce that best cares for a diversifying nation.

Emergency Medical Services Stroke Care Performance Variability in Michigan: Analysis of a Statewide Linked Stroke Registry.

Background Emergency medical services (EMS) compliance with recommended prehospital care for patients with acute stroke is inconsistent; however, sources of variability in compliance are not well understood. The current analysis utilizes a linkage between a statewide stroke registry and EMS information system data to explore patient and EMS agency-level contributions to variability in prehospital care. Methods and Results This is a retrospective analysis of a cohort of confirmed stroke cases transported by EMS to hospitals participating in a statewide stroke registry.

Primary Aldosteronism Screening Rates Differ with Sex, Race, and Comorbidities.

Background Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common but under-recognized cause of secondary hypertension. Data directly comparing screening rates across single and overlapping indications are lacking. Methods and Results We conducted a retrospective review of adults with hypertension seen in outpatient clinics at a tertiary referral academic center between January 1, 2017, and June 30, 2020.

Electronic Medical Records, Medical Students, and Ambulatory Family Physicians: A Multi-Institution Study.

Purpose: Medical students commonly encounter electronic medical records (EMRs) in their ambulatory family medicine clerkships, but how students interact with this technology varies tremendously and presents challenges to students and preceptors. Little research to date has evaluated the impact of EMRs on medical student education in the ambulatory setting; this three-institution study aimed to identify behaviors of ambulatory family medicine preceptors as they relate to EMRs and medical students.

Method: In 2015, the authors sent e-mails to ambulatory preceptors who in the preceding year had hosted medical students during family medicine clerkships, inviting them to participate in the survey, which asked questions about each preceptor's methods of using the EMR with medical students.
