Summary: This study examines the information transparency of Egyptian medical colleges' websites regarding their accreditation process. The results show that only thirteen colleges registered their credentials on their websites, and the available information about the process, dates, and documents was very limited. This suggests that medical schools need to take steps to encourage and ensure transparency towards institutional accreditation.

Summary: This study investigated the utilization of sabbaticals among faculty in US medical schools. The results showed that sabbaticals are rare in medical school faculty, with the main objective being research enhancement. Male, white, and senior faculty members were more likely to take sabbaticals. Despite barriers, it is important to recognize the benefits of sabbaticals for faculty well-being, retention, and mental health.

Summary: Medical students require a solid foundation in neuroscience to support their clinical experiences, and it is unnecessary to expect mastery of the entire field due to the rapid pace of neuroscience discoveries. Instead, the focus should be on developing students' abilities to effectively utilize resources and interpret information in their practice.

Summary: The World Health Organization estimates that 1.3 million people are killed and over 50 million people are injured in road traffic accidents each year. A study shows that more young people aged 15 to 29 die in traffic accidents than from illness, drugs, suicide, violence, or war events worldwide. Global traffic accident prevention campaigns aim to encourage drivers to adopt safe driving behavior through emotional demonstrations of the consequences of accidents. Research suggests that successful prevention campaigns require emotional appeals accompanied by problem-solving measures and increased self-confidence. Targeted training in schools can be an effective follow-up to emotional prevention campaigns, enhancing knowledge acquisition and application.

Summary: The year 2020 witnessed the largest social movement in US history in response to police killings of Black people and anti-Black racism. Medical schools and professional societies are now reflecting on their role in perpetuating racial inequality and structural racism in medical training, with the potential for meaningful change yet to be determined. Success in addressing these issues will require a deep understanding of racism's fundamental role in medical education and a commitment to dismantling structural barriers that perpetuate racial inequities.

Summary: This study examines the controversial whole-eye transplant (WET) performed by eye surgeon Conard Moore in 1969 to determine the nature of the surgery. New evidence supports Moore's initial claim of a WET, although alternative scenarios remain plausible. The case highlights the distinction between accepted and experimental operations and emphasizes the importance of modern bioethics oversight.

Summary: The majority of US medical schools do not explicitly include social media and digital products in their academic promotion criteria, indicating a need for institutions to update their strategies to adapt to the digital age. Embracing digital scholarship in promotion could help destigmatize the use of digital platforms and enhance science dissemination to the public.
