Is Two Weeks Enough? Recruiting Medical Students to Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics

The American Board of Pediatrics reports a total of 717 board-certified developmental-behavioral pediatricians (DBP), age 70 and younger, in the United States in 2024 with around 19 million patients with DBP conditions necessitating their services. The prevalence of neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral disorders is increasing while the number of graduating DBPs has plateaued. Some pediatric residents are unaware of the DBP subspecialty until they rotate through it. With a 1-week exposure during their 1st year, pediatric residents reported an increased interest in pursuing a DBP fellowship; suggesting the need for early exposure for recruitment.4 Early exposure to DBP for medical students and its impact on career choices has not been studied.

Does Right to Work Hinder Your Right to Safety? The Effect of Right to Work Laws on Workplace Injuries

A resurgence in right to work laws has occurred with six states adopting this legislation in the twenty-first century. While previous research focused on how right to work laws impact labor unions and the economy, little is known about how recent policy adoptions can influence workplace injury rates. Using a difference-in-differences approach on U.S. panel data from 1992 to 2018, I examine the impact of right to work enactments on fatal and nonfatal workplace injury rates. Findings suggest that a right to work passage leads to a small increase in fatal injuries while also decreasing nonfatal injuries, primarily nonfatal injuries which result in days away from work.
