pregnancy preventive care :: Article Creator This Supreme Court Decision Could Make It Harder For Millions To Access Preventive Health Care The Supreme Court on Monday will hear arguments in Kennedy v. Braidwood, the first significant challenge to the Affordable Care Act under the current Trump administration and a case that could strip away insurance coverage for preventive services like cancer screenings, HIV prevention and diabetes medication for millions of Americans. The case has its origins in a 2020 legal challenge by Braidwood Management, Inc., a Texas-based Christian company that sued the federal government and claimed providing coverage for PrEP — an HIV preventive medication also known as pre-exposure prophylaxis — violated its rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. At the time, Dr. Steven Hotze, the sole trustee and beneficiary of the Braidwood Management company, said he was unwilling to pay for PrEP or STI screenings for his...

medical specialties with the best work life balance :: Article Creator

Orthopedics' 'bright Future'

An April 21 Medscape report outlined a handful of medical specialties with the "brightest futures," and orthopedics made the list. 

This potential "bright future" is reflected by the fact that 100% of orthopedic surgery residency positions were filled for 2025.

While orthopedic surgery did not top Medscape's list when it comes to specialties that are growing the fastest or have the most job security, they do make the list as top earners and in maintenance of a healthy work-life balance. 

According to the report, orthopedic surgeons have the second-best work-life balance of any physician specialty, finding that 87% are "happy" outside of work. 

In addition, orthopedic surgeons have the highest income potential, frequently topping the list of the highest earners annually. 

Orthopedic surgeons also do not view AI as a threat to their jobs. The report notes concerns of AI replacement among image-based specialities, including radiology, pathology and dermatology.

"Although we are living at the cusp of a revolution in the way that AI impacts all aspects of society (including medicine), orthopedics is more insulated from the immediate disruptive effects than many specialties," Brett Shore, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at DISC Sports & Spine Center in Marina del Rey, Calif., told Becker's. "The continual improvements in large language models like ChatGPT and Claude likely mean that specialties that are primarily knowledge-based (such as radiology, pathology, primary care) will see much of their work done by AI soon, but this is unlikely for surgical specialties in the near future. Orthopedics, in particular, is well-suited to survive the AI revolution, as reconstruction and replacement is skilled work, and even when robots are able to perform large portions of routine surgical procedures, they will still require human surgeon oversight for a while."

While Medscape does not rank orthopedics as one of the fastest-growing specialties, surgeons believe there will be a continued demand for providers. 

"Population growth continues to outpace the increase in the number of orthopedic residency positions, annually," Philip Lim, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at UCI Health in Orange, Calif., told Becker's. "This imbalance should translate into providers remaining busy going into the future even if new orthopedic residency programs/positions are created. Orthopedic issues still account for a substantial percentage of emergency/urgent room visits, and I do not foresee issues related to trauma or degenerative diseases diminishing any time soon."

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...
