BackgroundOnline fellowship program websites are more commonly becoming the primary information resource used by prospective applicants. This study aimed to analyze the online content of Canadian plastic surgery fellowship program websites. MethodsThe content of all accredited Canadian Plastic Surgery fellowship program websites was evaluated using a 75-point criterion in the following ten domains: recruitment, faculty, residents/fellows, research and education, surgical program, clinical work, benefits, and career planning, wellness, environment and gender of faculty leadership. ResultsOn average, fellowship program websites obtained a score of 29.9 (SD=12.6). No correlation was detected between program websites and location (P > 0.05) nor by ranking (P > 0.05). ConclusionsMost Canadian plastic surgery fellowship program websites lacked content relevant to prospective applicants. More comprehensive fellowship program websites may be of benefit to prospective applicants and the programs.

“…This is in keeping with results from prior studies evaluating other medical specialties' websites. 15,16,[23][24][25][26] Some of the reasons for less-than-ideal amounts of fundamental information on websites include the presumption that information may be considered common knowledge and therefore not explicitly stated. Another possibility is changing trends in medical disciplines and their desirability to potential applicants with which website content is not keeping pace.…”

Background: Plastic surgery residency program websites are an important source of information to prospective applicants, especially given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and resulting suspension of all visiting electives and in-person interviews. This study aimed to analyze the online content of Canadian plastic surgery residency program websites. Methods: The content of all accredited Canadian plastic surgery residency websites was evaluated using 77-point criteria in the following 10 domains: recruitment, faculty, residents, research and education, surgical program, clinical work, benefits and career planning, wellness, environment, and gender of faculty leadership. Results: All accredited Canadian plastic surgery residency programs (n = 13) were identified using Canadian Resident Matching Service and had their dedicated program websites available for analysis. On average, residency program websites obtained a score of 33.5 (standard deviation = 13.7). The majority of programs did not score differently on the criteria by geographical distribution ( P > .05) nor by ranking ( P > .05). Conclusions: Most Canadian plastic surgery residency program websites are lacking content relevant to prospective applicants. Addressing inadequacies in online content may support programs to inform and recruit strong applicants into residency programs.

Emergency department (ED) radiology divisions that serve to provide overnight attending coverage have become an increasingly common feature of radiology departments. The purpose of this article is to review the common ED radiology coverage models, describe desirable traits of emergency radiologists, and discuss workflow in the ED radiology setting. ED radiologists may be trained as ED radiologists or may develop the necessary skills and adopt the subspecialty. Choosing radiologists with the correct traits such as being a “night owl” and remaining calm under pressure and implementing an acceptable work schedule such as shift length of 9–10 h and a “one week on, two weeks off” schedule contribute to sustainability of the position. Strategies to address the unique stressors and workflow challenges of overnight emergency radiology coverage are also presented. Workflow facilitators including trainees, PAs, radiology assistants, and clerks all have roles to play in managing high case volumes and in making sure that the service is well staffed. Usage of artificial intelligence software is the latest technique to streamline workflow by identifying cases which should be prioritized on a busy worklist. Implementing such strategies will maintain quality of care for patients regardless of time of day as well as sustainability and quality of life for overnight emergency radiologists.
