Doctors Who Attend Policy School: Who Are They and Where Do They Work?

Many physicians are pursuing additional advanced degrees, though no study has evaluated the characteristics and career choices of physicians who have pursued graduate policy degrees. We therefore searched employment and alumni data from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government in addition to publicly available information to identify physicians who graduated with a policy degree from 1964 to 2002. We identified 258 physicians with policy degrees and found that they are increasing in number, though females are underrepresented when compared to the female physician workforce; likely to pursue clinical training in specialties highly proximate to public policy challenges, with most physicians remaining medically licensed after residency; and more likely to hold nonclinical roles in academia, clinical leadership, and the private sector than in nonprofits and government. We conclude that the importance of integrating physicians with policy training throughout various organizations warrants further research into the growth, characteristics, and career choices of these physicians.

Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program Websites: Assessing Information Gaps and Opportunities for Attracting Applicants.

The quality and volume of information on orthopaedic surgery residency program websites are helpful for informed decision making of prospective applicants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the content on orthopaedic surgery residency program websites and identify areas for improvement. In November 2023, 203 orthopaedic surgery residency programs were reviewed using the Association of American Medical Colleges Residency Explorer tool. Fourteen nonfunctional websites were excluded, leaving n = 189. Websites were assessed for 11 variables: resources for assisting resident research (eg, biomechanics laboratory, research assistant, and advisors), residents' past institutional affiliations, current resident profiles (including hometown and interests), alumni data, fellowship matches, American Board of Orthopedic Surgery I/II pass rates, Alpha Omega Alpha Society affiliation, target United States Medical Licensing Examination/ Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Learning Exam Step 2 scores, educational activities (journal club, grand rounds, didactics), evaluation methods, and mentorship. Website variables differed markedly among identified program types, which included community programs, university programs (UPs), and affiliated programs (APs). Disparities were noted in the disclosure of residents' previous institutions ( P = 0.001), the availability of alumni names ( P = 0.001), research resources ( P = 0.001), academic activities ( P = 0.007), assigned mentorship programs ( P = 0.006), and fellowship match information ( P = 0.027). Notably, community programs shared statistically significantly less information in these areas compared with UPs and APs ( P = 0.001). While there was a proportionate sharing of information between UPs and APs, UPs exhibited a slightly higher overall percentage of websites sharing more detailed information. The quality and comprehensiveness of information on orthopaedic surgery residency program websites vary markedly. Most of the orthopaedic surgery residency programs provided information on residents' past institutions and academic activities. However, very few provided information on designated mentorship programs or objective measures such as target Step 2 examination scores and ABOS pass rates. Improving the quality of information available on program websites will enhance transparency and consistency, enabling prospective applicants to make more informed decisions about where to apply and interview.

Physician engagement in reproductive health advocacy: findings from a mixed methods evaluation of a leadership and advocacy program

BackgroundMedical curricula include advocacy competencies, but how much physicians engage in advocacy and what enables this engagement is not well characterized. The authors assessed facilitators and barriers to advocacy identified by physician alumni of a reproductive health advocacy training program.MethodsThe authors present secondary results from a mixed methods program evaluation from 2018 to 2020, using alumni data from a cross-sectional survey (n = 231) and in-depth interviews (IDIs, n = 36). The survey measured engagement in policy, media, professional organization, and medical education advocacy and the value placed on the community fostered by the program (eight questions, Cronbach’s alpha = 0.81). The authors estimated the association of community value score with advocacy engagement using multivariable Poisson regression to estimate prevalence ratios and analyzed IDI data inductively.ResultsOver one third of alumni were highly engaged in legislative policy (n = 90, 39%), professional organizations (n = 98, 42%), or medical education (n = 89, 39%), with fewer highly active in media-based advocacy (n = 54, 23%) in the year prior to the survey. Survey and IDI data demonstrated that passion, sense of urgency, confidence in skills, and the program’s emphasis on different forms of advocacy facilitated engagement in advocacy, while insufficient time, safety concerns, and sense of effort redundancies were barriers. The program community was also an important facilitator, especially for “out loud” efforts and for those working in environments perceived as hostile to abortion care (e.g., alumni in hostile environments with high community value scores were 1.8 times [95% CI 1.3, 2.6] as likely to report medium/high levels of media advocacy compared to those with low scores after adjusting for age, gender, and clinical specialty).ConclusionPhysician advocacy training curricula should include both skills- and community-building and identify a full range of forms of advocacy. Community-building is especially important for physician advocacy for reproductive health services such as abortion care.

Effect of High School Math skills on the Types of Professions

In the 21st century, the importance of STEM professions has increased. Simultaneously, the interest to acquire these STEM professions has also increased among high school students. For high school students desiring to acquire a STEM profession, this paper attempts to find the relationship between high school math skills and the likelihood of acquiring a STEM profession in the future. Furthermore, this paper attempts to explain the effect that high school math skill has on average wages which are indicated in other related papers. This paper collected secondary sources from a renowned math summer program for high school students which contained tracked data of past alumni. After analyzing 121 alumni data, it was clear that high school students who were skilled at math indeed had a higher chance of acquiring STEM professions such as engineering and computer science. However, STEM jobs related to science did not have high percentages. This indicated that high school math proficiency had a profound effect on the probability of acquiring heavily math integrated professions whereas this was not the case for STEM professions requiring a mix of other STEM knowledge besides math. In addition, the high percentage of computer science and engineering jobs explained how proficient high school math skills led to high average salaries as these are one of the highest paying jobs. Overall, it is clear after reviewing the data that although proficiency in high school math skill does not necessarily lead to higher probability of acquiring all types of STEM jobs, it still has a noticeable impact on the probability of acquiring a math-heavy STEM profession and is likely to be one of the major elements in determining the future salaries.
