Summary: Improving diversity in the healthcare workforce is important for improving the health outcomes of diverse patient populations. Attracting and retaining physicians from historically underrepresented races and ethnicities is crucial in this effort. Increasing diversity at the graduate medical education level has the potential to reshape the physician workforce. In this editorial, current diversity-oriented recruitment strategies for residency programs are discussed, along with opportunities for future efforts.

Summary: This paper presents an AI framework for personalized case-based ophthalmology residency training, using a deep learning model and an expert-system-powered case allocation algorithm. The deep learning model can classify retinal diseases from color fundus photographs and the diagnosis is passed to the case allocation algorithm to select the most suitable resident. This approach provides a structure for future precision medical education in ophthalmology.

Summary: Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) trainings for medical school faculty often lack self-reflective and pedagogically focused components. A four-session Narrative Medicine (NM) anti-racism program was designed to address this issue. The program successfully increased participants' comfort discussing and teaching concepts of race.

Summary: Past research indicates that factors such as employee personality or job requirements are key to the emotional labor process for customer-facing employees. This mixed-methods study examines the emotional labor experienced by internally-facing HR&DEI professionals. The study finds that organizational diversity paradigms greatly impact the emotional labor process, and certain factors can mitigate its draining effects.

Summary: The survey revealed that many early career adult and pediatric neurologists were dissatisfied with the psychiatry component of their residency training and felt underprepared for it. Suggestions for improvement included more outpatient experience, additional teaching time in psychiatry, and exposure to a wider range of psychiatric treatments and patient conditions likely to be encountered in neurology practice.

Summary: This scoping review identified 29 studies covering 6 topics related to educational interventions in neurosurgery residency programs. While several educational interventions were supported by quantitative evidence, methodological shortcomings were common in the selection of meaningful outcome measures. Evidence-based considerations were provided for program directors in both current and future training programs.

Summary: Anesthesiology residents in the United States place the highest value on the quality of clinical training experiences and are generally satisfied with their choice of specialty and residency program. Overall, their training experiences met their expectations, with senior residents reporting more academic difficulties than interpersonal or technical challenges. They believe that their residency adequately prepares them for independent practice, particularly in the areas of professionalism and interpersonal communication skills.

Summary: Despite significant investments in DEI training by U.S. organizations, many programs face resistance from members. This study examined the effectiveness of a narrative-based inoculation strategy to reduce resistance. The results showed that the inoculation condition led to lower levels of resistance and more positive attitude change towards DEI training.

Summary: Racial and ethnic disparities persist within US medical schools, making some individuals underrepresented in medicine. To address this issue, a multifaceted approach was implemented to increase the percentage of underrepresented residents in pediatric residency programs. Despite challenges, such as pipeline concerns and recruitment during a pandemic, small, low-resource strategies were effective in achieving a more representative residency program.

Summary: This study summarizes the experience of explantation for endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) at a single institution from 2001 to 2020. The results show that partial or complete explantation of EVAR devices, although challenging and risky, has comparable short-term mortality and long-term survival.

Summary: Antiplatelet therapy is crucial for the management of peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, some PAD patients are resistant to certain antiplatelet medications, increasing the risk of graft and/or stent thrombosis unknown to the surgeon. Thromboelastography with platelet mapping can evaluate real-time coagulation dynamics and platelet function, providing an opportunity to assess the response to antiplatelet therapy in PAD patients.

Summary: The study aimed to determine short and long-term outcomes of open repair for type I-III thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) and compare them to elective repairs. The results showed higher mortality rate and lower survival rate for ruptured and symptomatic TAAA repairs compared to elective repairs.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive summary of clopidogrel resistance in vascular and endovascular surgery. The findings suggest that clopidogrel resistance may be associated with cerebral embolization, ischemic neurologic events, vascular-related mortality, recurrent stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization, amputation-free survival, and all-cause mortality in peripheral arterial disease.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients presenting with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs) after-hours compared to during the workday. The study found that patients presenting after-hours did not have significantly different mortality rates before surgery, rates of operative management, 30-day mortality, or operative mortality compared to patients presenting during the workday.

Summary: In this study, medical management of acute uncomplicated TBAD was associated with higher rates of readmission and the need for unplanned operation compared with TEVAR. However, no differences were found in the 1-year mortality for the patients for whom medical management had failed. This finding suggests clinical equipoise for the treatment of acute uncomplicated TBAD and supports the need for a larger randomized trial to determine whether early TEVAR provides clear benefits.

Summary: This study aims to assess the association between patient travel distance and longer-term outcomes including costs and reinterventions after complex aortic surgery. The results showed that patients traveling farther had higher procedural costs, postoperative imaging costs, and comprehensive first-year costs.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that routine completion angiography can increase postoperative patency in bypass using venous conduit. However, the effect of routine completion angiography on bypass patency in prosthetic bypasses has not been compared to the more traditional selective use of completion imaging.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of integrated vascular surgery residency programs on general surgery resident and vascular surgery fellow operative volume. The results indicate that the introduction of integrated residents has significantly decreased the operative experience in major vascular procedures for general surgery residents on a national level, while the case volume of traditional vascular surgery fellows remains unaffected.
