The career advising program: a strategy to achieve gender equity in academic medicine.
This paper discusses the significant gender disparities in academic rank which exist at US medical schools, even after controlling for age, time since training, specialty, and measures of productivity, and despite increasing numbers of women entering medicine over the past 30 years. They highlight the Society of General Internal Medicine’s Women and Medicine Task Force and the model they launched in 2013 to address these disparities- the Career Advising Program (CAP).

Fellowships in community pharmacy research: experiences of five schools and colleges of pharmacy.
The researchers described common facilitators, challenges, and lessons learned in 5 schools and colleges of pharmacy in establishing community pharmacy research fellowships. They found that common characteristics across the programs include length of training, prerequisites, graduate coursework, mentoring structure, and immersion into a pharmacist patient care practice. A common challenge has been recruitment, with many programs experiencing at least one year without filling the fellowship position.

Graduating student pharmacists' perspectives on e-professionalism and social media: qualitative findings.
The researchers conducted a cross-sectional survey of 212 graduating student pharmacists to characterize their views of professionalism on popular social media sites. The themes identified in the analysis were separation of personal and professional lives, how accountability for actions should vary by severity, and the extent of representation of the students’ character on social media.
