FIGIJ and NASPAG Advocacy Statement Supporting Fertility Preservation for Pediatric and Adolescent Patients Receiving Gonadotoxic Therapy.

This surgical perspective article by Cendán and Simms-Cendán highlights the often overlooked but vital role of effective followers in surgical practice and healthcare organizations. While leadership in surgery receives significant attention, the concept of followership—defined as the behaviors and contributions of those who support leaders—has been underexplored. The authors review academic models of followership, especially Robert Kelley’s framework, which categorizes followers by their levels of engagement and critical thinking into five types, emphasizing the value of “effective followers” who think independently and actively contribute. The article argues that leadership and followership are interdependent roles rather than fixed traits and calls for greater emphasis on developing followership skills such as critical thinking, self-regulation, and alignment with organizational goals. They propose that institutions should invest in follower development, incorporate followership assessment in evaluations, and foster environments where followers can re-engage meaningfully, ultimately improving teamwork, patient outcomes, and institutional success.

Migration of an Interactive Global Health Conference to a Virtual Platform: Engaging Learners During the Pandemic.

The University of Central Florida’s Medical Students Providing Across Continents (MedPACt) group annually hosts a Global Health Conference (GHC), traditionally held in-person. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 conference was shifted to a fully virtual format via Zoom Webinar, themed “Pandemics and Global Health” to reflect current global challenges. This study compares the efficacy and engagement of the 2021 virtual conference to the 2020 in-person event using post-conference surveys and registration data. Despite challenges such as “Zoom fatigue” and reduced networking opportunities inherent to virtual formats, organizers implemented strategies like breakout rooms, interactive workshops, scheduled breaks, and dry-runs to optimize engagement. The results showed that the virtual conference maintained comparable efficacy in delivering relevant global health content and professional insights while increasing registration numbers and reducing costs. This indicates that virtual conferences can serve as a cost-effective and accessible alternative to in-person events, expanding international participation and lowering logistical barriers such as travel and visa requirements. The study highlights the importance of adapting event design to maintain participant interaction and combat virtual fatigue, supporting continued use of virtual platforms for global health education during and beyond the pandemic.

Improving Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection in a Student-run Free Clinic.

This study aimed to improve latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening, detection, and treatment in a student-run free clinic, the KNIGHTS Clinic, serving underserved patients in Orange County, Florida—a region with relatively high TB incidence. Using CDC guidelines, a screening questionnaire was developed and integrated into the clinic’s electronic medical record system. Medical students and providers received education on LTBI risk factors and screening procedures. Prior to intervention, no systematic screening was documented despite known local TB risks. After implementation, 76.9% of 52 primary care patients were screened; 42.5% screened positive for LTBI risk factors, with the largest group being immigrants from TB-endemic countries. Of those screening positive, 70.6% underwent diagnostic testing (tuberculin skin test or interferon-gamma release assay). Patients lost to follow-up mainly left the clinic due to gaining insurance coverage, making them ineligible for this free clinic. Among tested patients, three were diagnosed with LTBI and received CDC-recommended treatment. This quality improvement project demonstrated that combining provider education with systematic screening increased LTBI identification and follow-up in a resource-limited, student-run clinic setting, simultaneously offering medical students valuable primary care experience in preventive medicine and public health.

Medical Care in a Free Clinic: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Patient Experience, Incentives, and Barriers to Optimal Medical Care with Consideration of a Facility Fee

This study evaluates patient experience, incentives, and barriers to optimal medical care in a free clinic, with particular attention to the concept of charging a small facility fee. Conducted at Grace Medical Home, a free clinic in Orlando, Florida serving uninsured, low-income patients, the study surveyed 94 adult patients to assess their perceptions of care and the potential impact of a modest $5 facility fee. Most patients lacked health insurance due to factors including cost and employment status, and prior to joining the clinic, many either avoided care or relied on emergency services. The fee was proposed as a means to help offset declining funding, which has threatened free clinics nationwide. Findings revealed that 78% of patients felt the facility fee was appropriate, associating it with greater involvement in their care and enhanced self-respect, suggesting it may serve as an incentive rather than a barrier. Key facilitators of care included continuity of care, faith-based services, and a strong patient-provider partnership. Barriers identified included transportation, affordable housing, medication costs, and access to health information. The study concludes that addressing these social determinants and considering a nominal facility fee could improve care engagement and sustainability in free clinics, which play a crucial role in bridging healthcare gaps for uninsured populations in the US.
