BACKGROUND: About 80% of the nearly 2 billion people experiencing psychiatric conditions worldwide do not have access to quality, affordable mental health care. In Africa, there are 0.004 psychiatrists per 10,000 people, with the shortage exacerbated by a limited number of postgraduate psychiatry training opportunities. As of 2018, there were only two psychiatrists in Liberia. METHODS: This paper aims to offer a framework for developing postgraduate (i.e., residency) psychiatry training in resource-constrained settings to disseminate best practices and lessons learned...

IMPORTANCE: Women remain underrepresented in ophthalmology and gender-based disparities exist in salary, grant receipt, publication rates, and surgical volume throughout training and in practice. Although studies in emergency medicine and general surgery showed mixed findings regarding gender differences in Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestones ratings, limited data exist examining such differences within ophthalmology. OBJECTIVE: To examine gender differences in ophthalmology ACGME Milestones...

Non-pharmaceutical interventions remain key in mitigating the spread of SARS-CoV-2. We sought to assess COVID-19 preventive, social-behavioural practices, and SARS-CoV-2 exposure through IgG rapid tests. This was a cross-sectional survey among 971 respondents residing in 180 households within the "Cite Verte" health district of Yaounde-Cameroon, from October-November 2020. Using a structured questionnaire, data on SARS-CoV-2 preventive and social behavioural practices were collected, while exposure to SARS-CoV-2 was determined by IgG profiling...

INTRODUCTION: During the preclinical years, students typically do not have extensive exposure to clinical medicine. When they begin their clinical rotations, usually in the third year, the majority of the time is spent on core rotations with limited experience in other fields of medicine. Students then must decide on their careers early in their fourth year. We aimed to analyze how often medical students change their career preferences between the end of their second and their fourth year...

OBJECTIVE: Robotically assisted surgery has become more common in general surgery, but there is limited guidance from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) regarding this type of training. We sought to determine common elements and differences in the robotic educational curricula developed by general surgery residency programs. DESIGN: Robotic educational curricula were obtained from the 7 individuals who presented at the workshop, "Robotic Education in General Surgery" at the 2023 Association of Program Directors in Surgery annual meeting...

BACKGROUND: Pain is one of the most challenging symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathies (SpAs), and pain relief is one of the top priorities for improving health-related quality of life. When medication therapy does not significantly reduce pain, chronic opioid consumption becomes more prominent in such patients. This study aimed to evaluate the state of opioid use in RA and SpA patients. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed on 316 patients with RA and spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) from January to March 2014...

INTRODUCTION: Surgical residents make decisions that may have a dramatic impact on career earnings based off conceptions regarding future income potential. This study examines the effect of debt burden, repayment plan, and practice setting on a general surgeon's career value. METHODS: Debt levels, repayment plans, and practice setting were considered to model a surgeon's career value using net present value (NPV) across 35 scenarios. The NPV was calculated using salary, education debt, yearly spending, and a discount rate of 5%...

INTRODUCTION: Scholarly activity in a few of the domains is required for both residents and faculty per Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's Common Program Requirements. Increased burden in clinical activities and economic changes in the health care environment have created new challenges, which have negatively affected faculty and residents to participate in scholarly activity. Various avenues are being sought which might help in improving the scholarly activity in an institution by providing dedicated time, salaried positions, grants, paid conferences, and financial incentives...

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by the zoonotic cestode, Taenia solium. Pigs are the typical intermediate hosts for T. solium but humans can become infected and develop NCC upon ingesting parasite eggs that are shed in the feces of an infected person. The objective of this study was to estimate the monetary burden of neurocysticercosis (NCC) on hospitalized patients from Muli County, China. Muli is an agricultural county in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China where pigs are raised and the zoonotic cestode, Taenia solium, is endemic...

INTRODUCTION: Emergency medical services (EMS) fellowship program accreditation in the United States began in 2013, and the number of available programs has rapidly expanded since then with a corresponding increase in the number of fellows. Despite this increase in program number and attendance, there is a paucity of data in the literature reviewing personal and professional characteristics of the fellows, their experiences during fellowship, or understanding of their intended desires from fellowship...

The gender pay gap among physicians is a well documented and persistent problem and has a profound impact on earnings over a career lifetime. This paper describes examples of concrete initiatives three institutions took to identify and address gender pay gaps. Salary audits at two academic emergency departments highlight the importance of not only ensuring equity in salary among physicians of the same rank but also monitoring whether women are achieving equal representation at higher academic ranks and leadership, elements that typically contribute to compensation...

The purpose of the three studies reported here is to find out what specific factors are relevant for the intention to stay and turnover intention of physicians in academic medicine -and what measures might have a positive impact on employee retention. METHODS: In an interview study combining qualitative and quantitative methods, we investigated how the individual mental representation of working conditions influences job satisfaction and its impact on the intention to stay...

INTRODUCTION: China is promoting integrated care. However, incomplete payment methods led to medical insurance overspending and intensified service fragmentation. Sanming implemented Integrated Medicare Payment Methods (IMPM) in October 2017, which integrates multi-level payment policies. Sanming's IMPM works well and has been promoted by the Chinese government. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to systematically analyze Sanming's IMPM, and conduct preliminary evaluations of Sanming's IMPM...
