    Abstract Background: Postsecondary education can provide opportunities for students from traditionally hidden populations like those who have experienced foster care or homelessness. To assist these students, campus support programs (CSPs) provide a wide range of services and activities.
    Objective: Evidence of the impact of CSPs is limited, and little is known about how students who were involved in CSPs fare at or after graduation. This study seeks to address these gaps in knowledge. Methods: This mixed-methods study surveyed 56 young people involved in a CSP for college students who have experienced foster care, relative care, or homelessness. Participants completed surveys at graduation, 6 months post-graduation, and one-year post-graduation.
    Results: At graduation, over two-thirds of the students felt completely (20.4%) or fairly (46.3%) prepared for life after graduation. Most felt completely (37.0%) or fairly confident (25.9%) that they would get a job after graduation. Six months after graduation, 85.0% of the graduates were employed, with 82.2% working at least full-time. 45% of the graduates were enrolled in graduate school. These numbers were similar a year after graduation. Post-graduation, participants described areas of their lives that were going well, obstacles and hardships faced, changes they would like to see in their lives, and post-graduation needs. Across these areas themes were present in the areas of finances, work, relationships, and resilience.
    Conclusions: Institutions of higher education and CSP should assist students with a history of foster care, relative care, and homelessness to ensure that after graduation, they have adequate money, employment, and support.

    Abstract Background: Despite the established need to prioritize professionalism-training in developing future physicians, very few medical programs in the Gulf Region embed in their curricula discrete contextualized courses aimed at developing the corresponding competencies, while fostering self-directed learning. This study aims at exploring the perception of undergraduate medical students in a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic setting regarding their understanding of, and personal experience with professionalism through their engagement with the content of an innovative curriculum-based professionalism course, offered at a Medical School in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
    Methods: The study used a qualitative phenomenological research design. Out of 33 students, 29 students had submitted reflective essays. The content of these essays was inductively analyzed following a six-step framework for conducting thematic analysis. The framework's steps include familiarizing oneself with the data, generating initial codes, searching for themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming themes, and producing the report.
    Findings: The inductive qualitative analysis generated the Professionalism Learning Journey model. This conceptual model includes four interconnected themes: Awareness, Acknowledgement, Realization, and Application. The generated model depicts the trajectory that the learners appear to experience while they are engaging with the content of the course.
    Conclusion: Integrating a professionalism-training course into an undergraduate medical curriculum is likely to be positively appraised by the learners. It raises their awareness, enables them to value the subject matter and the sophistication of its application, and empowers them to put into practice the taught principles, on an individual basis and collectively. This is especially true when the course is entrenched in constructivism experiential learning theory and designed to foster self-directed learning. The introduced conceptual model, in conjunction with the innovative professionalism-training course curriculum, can serve as a template for other competencies and other schools.

    Abstract Primary brain tumors are the most commonly diagnosed solid tumors in children, and pediatric brain tumor survivors experience lasting, pervasive deficits of neurocognitive functioning. Repeated exposure to anesthetic drugs is a necessary component not only of surgical resection but also of multimodal cancer care for the youngest patients with brain tumors. The potential for anesthetic neurotoxicity to worsen neurocognitive outcomes in this vulnerable group, therefore, warrants our attention and further study through multi-disciplinary collaboration. This review discusses neurocognitive functioning in pediatric brain tumor survivors, highlighting the findings of a recent study of children with tumors of the posterior fossa which identified treatment-related risk factors for neurocognitive difficulties, with those undergoing multimodal therapies (eg, chemotherapy and irradiation) experiencing the greatest deficits compared with healthy controls. The role of anesthetic neurotoxicity in long-term outcomes among pediatric brain tumor survivors is also reviewed.

    Abstract Importance: As demonstrated by the influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2, viruses spread by the respiratory route can cause deadly pandemics, and face masks can reduce the spread of these pathogens. The effectiveness of responses to future epidemics and pandemics will depend at least in part on whether evidence on masks, including from the COVID-19 pandemic, is utilized.
    Observations: Well-designed observational studies have demonstrated the association of mask use with reduced transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in community settings, and rigorous evaluations of mask mandates have found substantial protection. Disagreement about whether face masks reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has been exacerbated by a focus on randomized trials, which are limited in number, scope, and statistical power. Many effective public health policies have never been assessed in randomized clinical trials; such trials are not the gold standard of evidence for the efficacy of all interventions. Masking in the community to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 is supported by robust evidence from diverse settings and populations. Data on the epidemiologic, environmental, and mask design parameters that influence the effectiveness of masking provide insights on when and how masks should be used to prevent transmission.
    Conclusions and relevance: During the next epidemic or pandemic caused by a respiratory pathogen, decision-makers will need to rely on existing evidence as they implement interventions. High-quality studies have shown that use of face masks in the community is associated with reduced transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and is likely to be an important component of an effective response to a future respiratory threat.

    Abstract Purpose: To identify residency program characteristics, including the presence of underrepresented minority in medicine (URiM) and/or female Program Director's influence on the race and sex distribution of Orthopaedic Surgery Residency trainees.
    Methods: All active and ACGME-accredited orthopaedic surgery residency programs from 2017-2021 that reported usable information on the Residency Explorer Tool were included. Data collected included program characteristics, faculty and resident sex distribution, ethnicity, race, and demographic characteristics. The program director's (PDs) specific sex, ethnicity, race, and demographic characteristics were collected utilizing residency program websites. The prevalence of factors in programs with the top quartile of female and underrepresented residents were compared with the lower three quartiles.
    Results: Data were obtained from 148/200 ACGME-accredited programs (n=3,694 residents). The 52 excluded programs had no usable information on the Residency Explorer Tool or an identifiable program website. Overall, 15.9% of residents were female and 14% were underrepresented minorities in Orthopaedic surgery residency programs. Female PDs made up 12.4% and chairs 6.9% while URiM PDs and chairs were 8.3% and 4.6%, respectively. Programs with more female residents were not associated with a female PD (p=0.79) or with URiM PDs (p=0.48). Programs with a greater percentage of URiM residents were not associated with URiM PDs (p=0.16). No correlation was found with higher percentages of underrepresented residents and female PDs (p=0.76). Larger (p = 0.021) and university-based programs (p=0.048) had a greater percentage of female residents. Orthopaedic residency programs with Visa Sponsorship had a greater percentage of URiM residents (p = 0.017).
    Conclusion: Programs with a higher percentage of female or URiM residents did not show a significant association with having female or URiM program directors. Larger programs and university-affiliated programs were more likely to have a larger percentage of female residents, while programs that offered visa sponsorship had a higher percentage of URiM residents.

    Abstract Family-based lifestyle interventions for children/adolescents with severe levels of obesity are numerous, but evidence indicates programs fail to elicit short- or longer-term weight loss outcomes. Families with lived experience can provide valuable insight as we strive to improve outcomes from programs. Our aim was to explore elements that families desired in a program designed to treat severe levels of obesity in young people. We recruited a cross-sectional sample of 13 families (parents and young people) who had been referred

    Abstract Telehealth utilization increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet few studies have documented associations of telehealth use with subsequent medical costs and health care utilization. We examined associations of telehealth use during the early COVID-19 public health emergency (March-June 2020) with subsequent total medical costs and health care utilization among people with heart disease (HD). We created a longitudinal cohort of individuals with HD using MarketScan Commercial Claims data (2018-2022). We used difference-in-differences methodology adjusting for patients' characteristics, comorbidities, COVID-19 infection status, and number of in-person visits. We found that using telehealth during the stay-at-home order period was associated with a reduction in total medical costs (by -$1814 per person), number of emergency department visits (by -88.6 per 1000 persons), and number of inpatient admissions (by -32.4 per 1000 persons). Telehealth use increased per-person per-year pharmacy prescription claims (by 0.514) and average number of days' drug supply (by 0.773 days). These associated benefits of telehealth use can inform decision makers, insurance companies, and health care professionals, especially in the context of disrupted health care access.
