The pandemic has disrupted traditional medical education, from upending trainee schedules to requiring students and educators to provide COVID-19 vaccinations and patient care.
But a research letter in the journal JAMA Network Open says it s also brought an uptick in internal medicine residency and fellowship applications.

Dr. Cheryl O Malley, associate dean of graduate medical education at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, said she s seen similar patterns, but is less inclined to interpret the data as pointing to a major shift.

White noise (and pink and brown): The science behind the sounds
What’s your favorite bedtime jam? Do you doze off to jazz, a babbling brook, a crackling fire or a whirling fan of white noise? Or maybe you’re a sound aficionado, and have replaced your white noise machine with one that provides the more fashionable pink or brown noise?
Whatever your pleasure, know this: While continuously listening to low decibel calming sounds at night doesn’t appear to be harmful, there also isn’t much science behind how, why or even if sound machines help sleep.
