“…The changing demographics of patients are also challenging the long-standing history of medical solutions and treatments, being developed primarily for white patients who used to be able to afford or access them. [ 12 ] Disparities of care, today, are increasingly the result of communication and access to comprehensible information that feels relatable for patients from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.…”

Background The subspecialty of Hospital Medicine (HM) has grown rapidly since the mid-1990s. Diversity and inclusion are often studied in the context of healthcare equity and leadership. However, little is known about the factors potentially associated with choosing this career path among US medical students. Methods We analyzed the results of the Annual Association of American Medical Colleges Survey administered to Graduating medical students from US medical schools from 2018 to 2020. Results We analyzed 46,614 questionnaires. 19.3% of respondents (N = 8,977) intended to work as a Hospital Medicine [HM] (unchanged from 2018 to 2020), mostly combined with specialties in Internal medicine (31.5%), Pediatrics (14.6%), and Surgery (9.1%). Students interested in HM were significantly more likely to identify as female, sexual orientation minorities (Lesbian/Gay or Bisexual), Asian or Black/African-American, or Hispanic. Role models and the ability to do a fellowship were strong factors in choosing HM, as was higher median total debt ($170,000 vs. $155,000). Interest in higher salary and work/life balance negatively impacted the likelihood of choosing HM. There were significant differences between students who chose IM/HM and Pediatrics/HM. Conclusion About one in five US medical students is interested in HM. The probability of choosing future HM careers is higher for students who identify as sexual or racial minorities, with a higher amount of debt, planning to enter a loan forgiveness program, or are interested in doing a fellowship.

Management of Metastatic Humeral Disease is based on a systematic review of published studies surrounding the management of metastatic disease, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma limited to the humerus. This guideline contains seven action statements to assist orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic oncologists, physicians, and any other qualified healthcare professionals involved in the surgical management of metastatic disease of the humerus. It is also intended to serve as an information resource for decision makers, researchers, and developers of clinical practice guidelines. In addition to providing pragmatic practice recommendations, this guideline also highlights gaps in the literature and informs areas for future research and quality measure development. This guideline has been endorsed by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
