BACKGROUND: In Italy, nephrology residency is available in twenty-one nephrology schools, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The present study is aimed at exploring the residents' satisfaction with their training programs. METHODS: Between April 20th and May 19th, 2021, a questionnaire on residency satisfaction consisting of 49 items was sent to 586 residents and 175 recently certified specialists (qualified to practice as nephrologists in 2019 and 2020), with a response rate of 81% and 51%, respectively...

BACKGROUND: Institutional Graduate Medical Education (GME) Well-being Director (WBD) roles have recently emerged in the United States to support resident and fellow well-being. However, with a standard position description lacking, the current scope and responsibilities of such roles is unknown. This study describes the scope of work, salary support, and opportunities for role definition for those holding institutional leadership positions for GME well-being. METHODS: In November 2021, 43 members of a national network of GME WBDs in the United States were invited to complete a cross-sectional survey that included questions about job responsibilities, percent effort, and dedicated budget, and a free text response question about unique leadership challenges for GME WBDs...

Metals are significant contributors to water pollution, posing serious threats to human health. This study aims to assess the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks associated with metals in Isfahan drinking water. Eighty water samples were randomly collected from the city's distribution network between January and March 2020-2021. Inductively coupled plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry was used to measure toxic metals, namely Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, and As concentrations. Results revealed that the mean concentration of Ni (70...

UNLABELLED: A recent estimate indicates that up to 23.7 million Americans suffer from long COVID, and approximately one million workers may be out of the workforce each day due to associated symptoms, leading to a USD 50 billion annual loss of salary. Post-COVID (Long COVID) neurologic symptoms are due to the initial robust replication of SARS-CoV-2 in the nasal neuroepithelial cells, leading to inflammation of the olfactory epithelium (OE) and the central nervous system (CNS), and the OE becoming a persistent infection site...

A barrier to meeting the goal of universal health coverage in India is the inequality in utilisation of health services between indigenous and non-indigenous people. This study aimed to explore the determinants of utilisation, or non-utilisation, of public healthcare services among the Santals, an indigenous community living in West Bengal, India. The study holistically explored the utilisation of public healthcare facilities using a framework that conceptualised service coverage to be dependent on a set of determinants - viz...

METHODS: Quantitative first-position employment data from 2018-2022 were tracked among 6687 Big Ten PharmD graduates. Outcomes included job/residency/fellowship placement; satisfaction with placement; salary; time spent searching; and perceived difficulty finding placement...

INTRODUCTION: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns in March 2020 disrupted the lives of families across India. The lockdown related restrictions brought forth a multitude of challenges including loss of employment, social isolation, school closures and financial burdens. Specifically, it also resulted in the restriction of health-care services for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. METHODS: This qualitative study was conducted as a part of a larger trial in India to understand the experiences of families of young children with autism during the pandemic...

INTRODUCTION: Gastroenterology has recently gained prominence as a competitive internal medicine subspecialty. The intense competition within the gastroenterology fellowship match (GFM) presents challenges for both applicants and programs, particularly in virtual interviews due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyzed the variables impacting GFM competitiveness to provide insights for prospective gastroenterologists and programs to enhance the match process. METHODS: We used publicly available National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) data to examine applications and match data for internal medicine subspecialties from 2010 to 2022...

BACKGROUND: With the aim of facilitating a critical self-reflection on how to align plastic surgery education with making excellent plastic surgeons, a rotating small-group session followed by live interactive audience polling was used to perform a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis at the 10th Annual American Council of Academic Plastic Surgeons Winter Meeting. METHODS: The final day of the conference included a 3-hour session of rotating small groups followed by live interactive audience polls discussing the following six relevant educational topics: the Plastic Surgery Common Application and resident selection, aesthetic surgery education, leadership development and business education, embedded fellowships and focused training, mentorship, and faculty retention...

Postgraduate (vocational, residency) training in Germany is regulated by the Physicians' Chamber in each federal state. Although training requirements are specified in detail by regulatory documents, young doctors are left on their own to find training posts and suitable learning experiences. There are no programmes in place to support trainees nor to identify the need of the health care system regarding the composition of its medical workforce. Hospitals and practices pay salaries to physicians in training from funding obtained for services they provide...

This commentary on a case considers whether and to what extent refusal to care for Medicare patients is a form of "turfing." Medicare is a federal program to provide insurance for people over age 65, those who have certain disabilities, and those with end-stage renal disease; eligibility criteria include contributions from wages and salaries during a patient's working career. Although all clinicians in the United States can care for Medicare patients, some opt out, resulting in harms to eligible patients and in oversubscription of remaining clinical practices...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has had adverse effects on nurses, impacting them physically, mentally and psychosocially. These effects stem from heightened workloads, fears of contracting a life-threatening illness due to inadequate protective equipment and concerns about transmitting the disease to their families. This study assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the quality of life of nurses working on the frontlines, aiming to provide insights for future crisis responses. METHODS: A descriptive-analytic study included 288 nurses from hospitals affiliated with Çukurova University, Southern Turkey using a stratified sampling method...

BACKGROUND: Since the Physician Payments Sunshine Act in 2010, a substantial body of work has explored the supplemental income received by physicians to understand trends in industry payments and investigate sources of bias. To date, no study has examined how various fellowship characteristics impact industry earning levels at foot and ankle orthopaedic surgery fellowships. The purpose of this study is to examine the various fellowship and faculty-specific variables in correlation with industry earnings in foot and ankle orthopaedic surgery fellowships...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Tyler J Loftus, Lonn D McDowell, Gilbert R Upchurch
Maintaining financial stability is important for leaders in surgery because it (1) allows consistent, fair (market value) reimbursement for employees, which conveys that they are valued; (2) enables strategic investment in new programs that may not generate direct financial gains but are required; and (3) builds trust with stakeholders outside the department while strengthening the department's position in negotiations. Key strategies that we have used to increase revenue (income) over the past 6 years have been hiring more faculty, advocating for greater operating room and staffing capacity, staffing surgeons at other institutions using affiliation agreements, attempting to shift grant-funded efforts to non-clinical (research) faculty to mitigate National Institutes of Health salary cap penalties, and increasing efforts to identify external funding for educational and administrative tasks performed by surgeons (eg, increasing contact hours with medical students to secure a greater proportion of state general revenue)...
