A leadership development program for surgeons: first-year participant evaluation.
The researchers evaluated a Leadership Development Program for practicing surgeons by exploring how the program's strengths and weaknesses affected the surgeons' development as physician-leaders. They found that surgeon-participants reported positive impacts of the program on their day-to-day work activities and general career perspective as well as on their long-term career development plans. The participants also recommended areas where the program could be improved. The authors concluded that a curriculum designed specifically for surgeons may enable future programs to equip surgeons better for important leadership roles in a complex health care environment.

Using simulation for teaching femoral arterial access: a multicentric collaboration.
The purpose of this paper was to assess the impact of simulation training on complications associated with femoral arterial access obtained by first year cardiology fellows. The authors found that incorporation of simulation in the training of first year fellows was associated with an improvement in proficiency and a clinically meaningful reduction in vascular complications.
