Dipping your toes in the water of surgical education research can be a daunting task if you have no prior experience, even if you have done basic or clinical research before. How do you create a good surgical education research project? How can clinicians get involved in and find mentors for surgical education research? Is formal postgraduate training becoming necessary for a career in surgical education? Luckily, we invite Dr. Jon Sherbino and Dr. Lara Varpio, hosts of the successful KeyLIME (Key Literature in Medical Education) podcast to share their valuable insights on medical education research with us. Check out KeyLIME on their website at https://keylimepodcast.libsyn.com/ and subscribe to KeyLIME on iTunes, Spotify, or Google podcasts! Learning Objectives 1.     Listeners will identify that surgical education applies the same rigor as other areas of research. 2.     Listeners will describe how observations within clinical practice and review of literature can lead to creation of a good research quest

Join our Miami Trauma team including Drs. Urréchaga, Neeman, and Rattan as they dive into the literature regarding a topic that has become all too common to the US news cycle- gun violence. They will go over a recent paper from JAMA and include other important literature while trying to understand this complex problem that has been grappling US public policy.  Quick Hits: 1.     Firearm injury is the leading cause death in the US among ages 1-19 2.     For every person killed violently by someone else with a firearm, there are 3 survivors.  3.     Gun ownership triples the risk of homicide 4.     Permit laws and preventing people convicted of a violent crime from owning a firearm decrease firearm-related death and have a positive ripple effect even outside state borders. In short, for effective reductions of firearm-related injury and death, federal legislation will be more effective than state-by-state References 1.     Liu, Y, Siegel, M, Sen, B.

De novo metastatic breast cancer represents 6% of all new breast cancer diagnoses. This figure has not changed at all over the past 20 years; however, systemic therapy options have evolved dramatically during this time and have significantly increased life expectancy for these patients. While surgical management of the primary tumor in the setting of metastatic disease has typically been reserved for palliative indications, surgeons are now being asked to consider resecting the primary tumor to potentially increase overall survival. In this episode, we will use a case study to examine the data that should inform our conversations and decisions when we encounter patients with metastatic breast cancer who are interested in having their primary tumor resected.
