“…17 A follow-up survey was administered to all 32 former student leaders of the SOS to identify how their participation informed their career choice. 18 Of the 26 returned surveys, all respondents indicated that having a SOS sponsored by faculty was "moderately important", "very important" or "extremely important". Out of all the participants, 73.1% indicated that they eventually pursued an oncology-related specialty.…”

I am thrilled to welcome you to the first issue of Journal of Clinical Electrophysiology and Wound Management. With the help of our outstanding editorial team, I am honored to lead this project dedicated to advancing the knowledge and clinical practice in electrodiagnostics, wound management, biophysical agents, and neuromusculoskeletal ultrasound. The Journal of Clinical Electrophysiology and Wound Management publishes peer reviewed articles and disseminates research and clinical evidence pertaining to these areas.There are four specialized areas of practice and two ABPTS board certifications under the Academy of Clinical Electrophysiology and Wound Management within the American Physical Therapy Association. By providing a platform for publishing research and clinical evidence in these specialty areas, JCEWM will provide value to its members and the profession for years to come.In the establishment of this journal, the JCEWM editorial board would like to thank the ACEWM board for its support. We also express our gratitude to our reviewers for their time, expertise, insightful comments, and suggestions that greatly added to the quality of these publications.Let us embrace the challenges and the opportunities to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.

Purpose In recent years, there has been a national decline in applicants to radiation oncology (RO) residencies, partly due to limited exposure to RO during medical school. Student Interest Groups (SIGs) give students early exposure to a variety of specialties. This study investigates the efficacy of a RO-SIG to increase knowledge and interest in the field. Methodology First and second-year medical students attending an RO-SIG event or shadowing experience completed surveys both prior and following participation. Students ranked their interest in oncology, in RO, and their perceived accessibility of mentors in oncology. Questions were rated on a Likert scale from 0 to 5 (5 highest, 0 lowest). The survey included one short response question about the understanding of the role of the RO, which was evaluated qualitatively. Results 44 students (42 M1s, 2 M2s) completed the pre-survey and 18 (41%, 17 M1s, 1 M2) completed the post-survey. Of the 18 matched responses, interest in oncology increased from 3.67 pre-SIG to 3.89 (p = 0.19) and in RO specifically from 3.17 to 3.89 (p < 0.01). The mean perceived accessibility of faculty mentors in oncology increased from 3.18 to 3.72 (p < 0.01). After interacting with the RO-SIG, the short response answers were more detailed in the understanding of the role of RO. Conclusions RO-SIGs can increase interest in RO through early exposure to the field. In a time where RO has seen a decline in student interest, RO-SIGs are an option to increase engagement, develop interest, and form relationships with mentors in pre-clinical years.
