The 2024-2025 academic year has seen the fewest medical school applicants in seven years, according to new AAMC data, highlighting both challenges and opportunities for the future of health care. While first-time applicants increased by 2.3% from 2023, reaching 74.3% of all applicants, total applicant numbers hit their lowest since 2017-2018. A significant concern is the decline in matriculants from historically underrepresented groups, posing hurdles to diversity and inclusion in medicine. This trend comes amid ongoing concerns about the physician shortage in the U.S. David J. Skorton, MD, AAMC president and CEO, emphasized the organization’s commitment to growing the physician workforce and fostering greater diversity in the applicant pool. These efforts will be vital for addressing the challenges facing health care’s future. #neurology #shortage With the Specialist combines artificial intelligence with a board certified neurologist to enhance neurological care, bringing the neurology consult to you. #withthespecialist #aiinhealthcare #innovation https://lnkd.in/gxmAjk8e

What is an academic health center? Think pizza. Yes, pizza. Everything pizza. Cheese, pepperoni, black olives, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, onions, sausage, and even pineapple and Canadian bacon! Combining all those ingredients into one giant pizza is the food equivalent of an academic health center where each ingredient is a clinical specialty or discipline like family medicine, orthopaedics, plastics, obstetrics and gynecology, ENT, general surgery, nursing, dentistry, ophthalmology, neurology, rheumatology, cardiology, radiology, physical and occupational therapy, psychiatry, and behavioral health (just to name a few). An academic health center is where exceptional, patient-centered care is delivered, groundbreaking clinical research is undertaken, and top-notch graduate medical education is provided. It’s coming to Las Vegas and UNLV is making it happen. Right here. Right now. #UNLV https://lnkd.in/ghPSs-N6

In my dissertation research, I am exploring Robert Kegan’s Model of Adult Development. Reflecting on a significant personal experience fifteen years ago, I fractured my pinky due to an enchondroma. Despite my efforts to explain the need for an X-ray to my husband and preparing to drive myself to the Emergency Room, it took hours before he agreed to take me. At the ER, a new resident informed me that he could do no further tests beyond an X-Ray, and that the causes might include that I have cancer, and might die, but there was nothing to be done until after I had my baby in seven months. At the time, I was two months pregnant. This delay in care contributed to the loss of one of our identical twins and may have influenced later complications, including pre-eclampsia. Reviewing this experience through Kegan’s Adult Development lens, it is fascinating to see how overcoming barriers to care may have driven my pursuit of graduate studies in leadership. Kegan might suggest that the ER resident was operating at an Instrumental level, focused on rules and procedures without considering the broader implications for a pregnant patient. This disorienting dilemma impacted the development of the ER resident, my husband, and myself. I later had several constructive conversations with the ER resident during his NICU and pediatric rounds. I highly recommend this article, whether you are in medical education or affiliated with healthcare, for its insightful perspective on adult development and overcoming systemic barriers. --- A decade after this event, I worked as a Practice Administrator in an Emergency Department and discovered an unfiled collection titled "The Things Residents Say." I learned that the most challenging time to visit the ER is around the 4th of July, as new residents start their rotations on July 1st. --- Lewin, L. O., McManamon, A., Stein, M. T. O., & Chen, D. T.

Psychological Vaccine for a Doctor !!! 1st Dose : Biopsychosocial/Empathic/ Humane person as a medical student 2 nd Dose: Emotionally Intelligent Doctor & Community Leader An undergraduate exposure to Behavioral Sciences introduced as a subject after many colleagues of my generation. If this is the first psychological vaccine to combat Biopsychosocial issues at work , a second booster dose is must at a later part of the career. Who can deny the role of having an appropriate trained Behavior of a Professional. As each will continue to serve the community continuously. This role model needs emotional tuning into their infancy ( as a medical student ) as well as in maturity ( practicing doctor). These are skills are no less than the research, life saving skills, teaching skills. Usually parked under communication skills, it needs proper attention and expertise. A comprehensive short course is highly recommended. This was 2012. 12 years back University of Health Sciences had initiated a One Year Certification in Medical Education. Now many institutions are offering 6 months courses. This is one of mandatory requirements for promotion to Professorship. Behavior Sciences has been made mandatory recently by Pakistan Medical and Dental Council. Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences to have 150 hours in the curriculum of MBBS. Internationally and domestic stress on ethical practice. Refining the relationship, bringing quality healthcare, understanding emotional and psychosocial concerns can't be over emphasized. Although some areas overlap with Medical Education , some core areas remain profoundly neglected. Most of the current generations of faculty has not been exposed to Behavioral sciences. Do you think " A certification in Behavioral sciences " to accustom medical fraternity to clinical academic issues. Psychological principles , doctor patient. relationships, ethical and community practices makes sense. I propose such advance training, refresher course at a mature junction could be greatly beneficial. #behavioralsciences #psychiatry #uhs #universityofhealthsciences

In US "Poor mental health among physicians is a growing professional concern and a public health crisis. Each year, 400 US physicians die by suicide, translating to 1 or more physician deaths by suicide every day. Research has demonstrated that residency training, which lasts 3 to 10 years depending on the specialty pursued, is a particularly challenging time for physician mental health. Residency has several characteristics implicated in the development of depression, including long work hours and inflexible schedules limiting rest and recovery. (...) Conclusion;The findings of this cohort study underscore that the increase in depressive symptoms observed during medical internships, although most notable in the first year of training, may persist for many trainees and physicians. This research suggests that there may be lasting consequences of depressive symptoms well beyond the years spent in medical training, emphasizing the need to support training doctors to safeguard the long-term health of those entrusted to ensure the health of others."

Applying to residency programs through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) can be an expensive process, especially for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) who need to apply broadly to increase their chances of matching. With careful planning, you can make the most out of your budget and maximize your opportunities. Here are some practical tips to help you manage your ERAS fees effectively: Prioritize Your Programs: Use tools like FREIDA to narrow down programs where you meet the eligibility criteria. This approach ensures you’re applying to programs with a higher chance of securing interviews, avoiding unnecessary expenses on unlikely matches. Utilize ERAS Signaling: ERAS signaling is designed to streamline the residency application process by allowing applicants to signal their genuine interest in specific programs. With a limited number of signals per specialty, applicants can strategically highlight where they are most committed, making it easier for programs to identify serious candidates. While not all specialties use signaling, it's particularly beneficial in fields like internal medicine, surgery, and psychiatry. This system creates a more meaningful, efficient match process for both applicants and programs. Plan Your Application Strategy: Consider applying to a mix of competitive and less competitive programs to maximize your chances of matching while staying within your budget. It’s better to apply to more programs and have options than to be overly selective and miss out. Monitor Your Expenses: Keep track of your ERAS fees as you add programs to your application list. The cost per program increases after you reach a certain number of applications, so be strategic about which programs you prioritize. #TIMGA #IMGJourney #IMGSuccess #IMGResidency #ERAS

?? New Series Alert: Sharing the Wealth of Peer-Reviewed Knowledge! ?? As part of my journey in expanding expertise in cognitive neuroscience, I'm diving into cutting-edge literature to uncover how innovative methods are transforming learning and healthcare training. Today, I’m sharing insights from an incredible paper that blends Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) with simulation-based education for medical students. ?? Article Spotlight: "Evaluating an Obstetrics and Gynecology Teaching Program for Medical Students Incorporating Simulation-Based Education Underpinned by Cognitive Load Theory" ?? Authors: William Atiomo et al. (2024) ?? Published in: Frontiers in Medicine ?? Read the full article here Why This Matters The study introduces a centralized, simulation-based teaching program for obstetrics and gynecology students. It’s groundbreaking because it directly applies Cognitive Load Theory to structure learning environments, ensuring: Intrinsic Load (complexity of tasks) is manageable. Extraneous Load (distractions) is minimized. Germane Load (schema-building effort) is maximized. Key Highlights 1?? Students reported low mental effort but high self-perceived learning—a hallmark of effective instruction. 2?? Complex scenarios, like managing obstetric emergencies, demonstrated that high intrinsic load can still lead to meaningful learning when designed thoughtfully. 3?? Cognitive load principles, like using open-book MCQs and pre-session preparation, significantly improved psychological safety and knowledge retention. 4?? While challenges like gender bias in O&G education persist, this approach paves the way for more equitable, impactful training. My Takeaway This study reinforces the power of evidence-based teaching frameworks. By integrating cognitive neuroscience into education, we’re not just teaching—we’re reshaping how knowledge is acquired and retained, with ripple effects on healthcare outcomes worldwide. I’m thrilled to continue this series, unpacking peer-reviewed gems that bridge neuroscience, education, and clinical practice. Let’s learn, share, and grow together! ??
