The Year in Graduate Medical Education: Selected Highlights from 2023

This special article is the third in an annual series for the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia that highlights significant literature from the world of graduate medical education that was published over the past year. Some of the major themes that will be addressed in this review include the potential uses and pitfalls of artificial intelligence in graduate medical education, trainee well-being and the rise of unionized house staff, the effect of gender and race/ethnicity on residency application and attrition rates, and the adoption of novel technologies in medical simulation and education. The authors would like to thank the editorial board for again allowing us to draw attention to some of the more interesting work published in the field of graduate medical education during 2023. We hope that the readers find these highlights thought-provoking and informative as we all strive to successfully educate the next generation of anesthesiologists.
