Purpose of review: As the United States' population diversifies, urgent action is required to identify, dismantle, and eradicate persistent health disparities. The surgical community must recognize how patients' values, beliefs, and behaviors are influenced by race, ethnicity, nationality, language, gender, socioeconomic status, physical and mental ability, sexual orientation, and occupation.
Recent findings: Lately, health disparities have been highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Surgery is no exception, with notable disparities occurring in pediatric, vascular, trauma, and cardiac surgery. In response, numerous curricula and training programs are being designed to increase cultural competence and safety among surgeons.
Summary: Cultural competence, safety, humility, and dexterity are required to improve healthcare experiences and outcomes for minorities. Various opportunities exist to enhance cultural competency and can be implemented at the medical student, resident, attending, management, and leadership levels.

Purpose of review: To describe the effect of COVID-19 on ophthalmic training programs and to review the various roles of technology in ophthalmology surgical education including virtual platforms, novel remote learning curricula, and the use of surgical simulators.
Recent findings: COVID-19 caused significant disruption to in-person clinical and surgical patient encounters. Ophthalmology trainees worldwide faced surgical training challenges due to social distancing restrictions, trainee redeployment, and reduction in surgical case volume. Virtual platforms, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, were widely used during the pandemic to conduct remote teaching sessions. Novel virtual wet lab and dry lab curricula were developed. Training programs found utility in virtual reality surgical simulators, such as the Eyesi, to substitute experience lost from live patient surgical cases.
Summary: Although several of these described technologies were incorporated into ophthalmology surgical training programs prior to COVID-19, the pandemic highlighted the importance of developing a formal surgical curriculum that can be delivered virtually. Novel telementoring, collaboration between training institutions, and hybrid formats of didactic and practical training sessions should be continued. Future research should investigate the utility of augmented reality and artificial intelligence for trainee learning.

Purpose of review: This is a review of recent literature on the role of indirect calorimetry in surgical nutrition.
Recent findings: All critical care societal guidelines recommend the use of indirect calorimetry as the standard of care to determine energy needs. Recent studies confirm discrepancy between measured and equation-predicted energy expenditure and further demonstrate improved outcomes with indirect calorimetry-guided nutrition. Patients that undergo ECMO, CRRT and those with COVID-19 would benefit from the use of indirect calorimetry.
Summary: Indirect calorimetry-guided nutrition is the standard of care in mechanically ventilated surgical patients.
