Coercive control is a form of intimate partner violence (IPV) that encompasses non‐physical behaviors used to constrain and entrap a partner. Coercive control is especially relevant to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer plus (LGBTQ+) relationships when abusers target the gender and sexual identity of their partners. Victim‐survivors, community members, and service providers often struggle to identify and intervene with this form of abuse. The role of police responding to coercive control is poorly understood, despite laws and calls to criminalize coercive control. Police responses to physical abuse in LGBTQ + relationships have caused harm, and it is important to extend this knowledge to police responses to coercive control. We conducted a systematic scoping review of international academic and gray literature sources published from 2014 through 2022 on the topic of policing coercive control within LGBTQ+ intimate relationships. We identified four interrelated policing themes across 35 sources: (1) reluctance to seek help from the police, (2) low rates of reporting abuse to police, (3) police actions following reports of IPV and coercive control, and (4) police harassment and violence increasing the experience of coercive control. Our review confirms that more research is needed on LGBTQ+ survivors of coercive control and their help‐seeking, as laws and calls to criminalize coercive control may not benefit LGBTQ+ communities.

Occupational lung disease remains one of the most common work-related illnesses and accounts for most deaths from occupational illness. Occupational lung diseases often have delayed manifestation over decades and nonspecific clinical presentations, making it challenging for clinicians to promptly identify the disease and implement preventive measures. Radiologists play a crucial role in identifying and diagnosing occupational lung diseases, allowing for removal of the exposure and early medical intervention. In this review, we share our clinical and radiologic approach to diagnosing occupational lung disease and its subtypes. A collection of sample cases of occupational lung diseases commonly encountered in the modern era at a large Canadian university hospital is included to facilitate understanding. This review will provide radiologists with valuable insights into recognizing and diagnosing occupational lung diseases.

Background: Access to mentorship and interview preparation resources remains inconsistent across Canadian medical schools, potentially disadvantaging students applying to diagnostic radiology. The Canadian Association of Radiologists’ Medical Student Network (CAR MSN) hosts an annual virtual mock interview program pairing fourth-year and third-year medical students with diagnostic radiology residents for structured practice interviews and individualized feedback. Methods: This study used a pre- and post-survey design to evaluate the program’s impact on self-reported interview preparedness across 5 annual cycles (2022-2026). A total of 315 registrants from all 17 Canadian medical schools completed pre-event surveys, and 157 participated in the mock interviews. Paired pre- and post-event data were available from 54 participants and their level of preparedness for the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) interviews was analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Self-reported preparedness scores improved significantly, with median scores increasing from 3 (IQR 2-3) to 4 (IQR 4-4) on a 5-point Likert scale ( r = .85, P < .001). However, a 65.6% attrition rate was observed between surveys. Participants rated the mock interview as highly helpful, and 96.3% felt the questions were representative of CaRMS interviews. General perceived stressors related to the unfamiliarity with the programs and the interview process decreased after participation. Conclusion: Despite the attrition rate, these findings suggest that nationally accessible, resident-led mock interview programs can meaningfully improve interview preparedness and confidence for radiology applicants. Future implementation of mentorship-based initiatives may promote equitable access to radiology-specific career guidance.

Background: Report structures in radiology can be free-text or structured formats. There are currently no guidelines regarding optimal reporting structure for neuroradiological studies. Clear and efficient reports are essential to facilitating communication between healthcare providers. This project characterizes and compares preferred radiological reporting structures in neuroradiology among physicians. Methods: A REDCap survey including questions on practice environments, satisfaction with current reports, and preferences in report structures for 7 studies: MRI Lumbar Spine, MRI Sella, MRI Dementia, MRI Glioma, MRI Brain Metastases, CTA Head and Neck, and CT Unenhanced Brain was drafted and reviewed by radiologists. This anonymous survey collected responses from radiologists and physicians who read neuroradiology reports across the Greater Toronto Area. Results: The survey received 89 responses. Structured reports were preferred over free-text reports across all specialties for each study. Notably, a large proportion (37/44, 84.1%) preferred having structured reports for CTA head and neck. Preferences for MRI Brain Glioma were relatively mixed, with some respondents favouring free-text reports (8/24, 33.3%) and others preferring structured reports (13/24, 54.2%). Respondents preferring structured reports cited “ease in finding information” as the most common reason, while those favouring free-text reports chose “fewer unnecessary sections” most often. Conclusion: This study identifies opportunities to improve the organization and standardization of information in radiology reports. The consistent preference for structured reports highlights the need for guidelines to optimize radiological reporting and enhance communication between specialties.
