RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Burnout and low job satisfaction have disproportionately impacted female physicians compared with their male counterparts, with gender-specific oppression and bias in the workforce. This project aims to address the relationship of women in medicine to their chosen field through public art. STUDY DESIGN: A call for using the white coat as a canvas to describe positive attributes and self-reflection was shared with all American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) branches at medical schools. METHODS: Students in AMWA branches created white coats, designing them to answer the posed question. RESULTS: White coats were sent to the national conference for display, revealing certain themes, challenges, resilience, and humanization of the training and working experience for women in medicine. CONCLUSION: This white coat public art project directly and indirectly addresses causes of burnout and serves as a way to create community, address isolation, and empower women in medicine.

Skin and corneal wounds in diabetics are a major healthcare burden. MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of protein-coding genes. Studies have identified microRNAs involved in all phases of wound healing. The dysregulation of microRNAs can contribute to impaired or delayed skin and corneal wound healing in diabetics. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the literature involving microRNAs in diabetic skin and corneal wound healing as well as those serving as potential biomarkers for diabetic wound healing.
