Female orthopedic surgeons have different life choices, experiences, and influences that may alter their decisions when choosing a fellowship. There is no data that describes why women choose their specialty and if it is related to their mentorship, athletic background, family, family planning, physical attributes needed, location, practice setting, or discrimination.After a five year orthopedic residency, what influences their specialty choice to work in a specific field?Questions/ purposes To understand why women in orthopedics chose a certain fellowship and if they are influenced by any specific factor.
A 28 question survey created through SurveyMonkey was emailed to all members of the Ruth Jackson Orthopedic Society (RJOS) in July 2019. After six weeks the survey was closed and data was analyzed through SurveyMonkey.
252 members of RJOS completed the 28 question survey. 94% of the women who responded did a fellowship after their orthopedic residency. 62% chose their fellowship specialty based on pure enjoyment. 79% were not influenced by a female role model, 92% were not influenced by a significant other, 85% were not influenced by wanting children or a family, and 96% were not influenced by being pregnant or planning on being pregnant. 64% were not influenced by physical attributes or perception of strength needed for the specialty.
94% of the women who responded did a fellowship after their orthopedic residency and 62% chose their fellowship specialty based on pure enjoyment. It was not found that female mentorship, family, pregnancy, significant other, or physical attributes contributed to their fellowship choice.

The risks of radiation exposure in orthopaedic surgery have become a topic of increasing interest in the setting of widespread fluoroscopy use and concern for an increased prevalence of breast cancer among female orthopaedic surgeons. The aim of this national study of 31 female orthopaedic surgeons was to achieve a deeper understanding of fluoroscopic use in the OR and its associated exposure to radiation, by comparing female orthopaedic trauma and arthroplasty surgeons.
A total of 31 surgeons wore dosimeters for 10 operating days each to track cumulative radiation exposure. Surgeons were not asked to modify their practice in any way, with no requirement that the operating days had to be chosen with the knowledge that fluoroscopy would be used. Participants were also asked to fill out a form at the end of each day, detailing the number of cases that day, the number of hours spent in the OR, and the total amount of time using fluoroscopy.
Trauma surgeons received significantly higher radiation doses in the OR. The fluoroscopic times in this study therefore may be a useful self-assessment tool for attending trauma and arthroplasty surgeons. Awareness of these differences will hopefully increase an individual surgeon's mindfulness toward the length of fluoroscopy use in each case, regardless of orthopaedic subspecialty.Level of Evidence IV.
15% of orthopedic surgery trainees in 2018-2019 in ACGME accredited programs are female, which lags behind all other specialties.
The bottleneck for achieving gender diversity in orthopedic surgery is that female medical students do not choose orthopedic surgery as a career. In 2018-2019, twelve ACGME accredited programs had no women trainees, highlighting the uneven distribution of female trainees across residency programs. Social science has outlined that 30% representation within a population is the diversity goal.
A goal of having females comprise 30% of orthopedic surgeons trainees can be achieved with pipeline programs such as the Perry Initiative and Nth Dimensions; increased orthopedic surgery rotation clinical experience during medical school; and mentorship that promotes and encourages gender diversity. Additionally, recognizing implicit bias as well as explicit discrimination, harassment, and bullying, creates a workplace environment that is inclusive and safe for employees, trainees and physicians, as well as the patients that we serve.

A 57-year-old female with a history of decompensated cirrhosis with early stage breast cancer was treated with 25 Gy in one fraction. At her 7-month follow up visit, there was a complete resolution of disease on imaging. This case represents a novel approach for the treatment of breast cancer with SABR when surgery is contraindicated.
A cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) performed from July 2018 to March 2019 demonstrated the clinical impact of a community pharmacist delivered minor ailment service (MAS) compared with usual pharmacist care (UC).MAS consisted of a technology-based face-to-face consultation delivered by trained community pharmacists. DT2216 cost The consultation was guided by clinical pathways for assessment and management, and communication systems, collaboratively agreed with general practitioners. MAS pharmacists were trained and provided monthly practice support by a practice change facilitator. The objective of this study was to assess the cost utility of MAS, compared to UC.
Participants recruited were adult patients with symptoms suggestive of a minor ailment condition, from community pharmacies located in Western Sydney. Patients received MAS (intervention) or UC (control) and were followed-up by telephone 14-days following consultation with the pharmacist. A cost utility analysis was conducted alongside the cRCT. Transition probabilities and costs were directly derived from cRCT study data.
