MANUSCRIPT: Advancing medicine one research note at a time: the educational value in clinical case reports.

Abstract A case report--a brief written note that describes unique aspects of a clinical case--provides a significant function in medicine given its rapid, succinct, and educational contributions to scientific literature and clinical practice. Despite the growth of, and emphasis on, randomized clinical trials and evidenced-based medicine, case reports continue to provide

MANUSCRIPT: Medical students as human subjects in educational research.

Abstract Introduction: Special concerns often arise when medical students are themselves the subjects of education research. A recently completed large, multi-center randomized controlled trial of computer-assisted learning modules for surgical clerks provided the opportunity to explore the perceived level of risk of studies where medical students serve as human subjects by

ABSTRACT: Twelve tips for making the best use of feedback.

Abstract Background: Feedback is generally regarded as crucial for learning. We focus on feedback provided through instruments developed to inform self-assessment and support learners to improve performance. These instruments are being used commonly in medical education, but they are ineffective if the feedback is not well received and put into practice.

ABSTRACT: Incorporating evidence into clinical teaching: enhanced geriatrics specialty case-based residency presentations.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Case-based presentations are widely used in medical education and are a preferred education modality to teach about the care of geriatric patients across a range of medical specialties. METHODS: We incorporated evidence-based materials from topical literature syntheses into case-based presentations on the care of geriatric patients for use by specialty residents. These

MANUSCRIPT: Perceptions of UK medical graduates’ preparedness for practice: A multi-centre qualitative study reflecting the importance of learning on the job

Background: There is evidence that graduates of different medical schools vary in their preparedness for their first post. In 2003 Goldacre et al. reported that over 40% of UK medical graduates did not feel prepared and found large differences between graduates of different schools. A follow-up survey showed that levels

MANUSCRIPT: The association between academic engagement and achievement in health sciences students

Background Educational institutions play an important role in encouraging student engagement, being necessary to know how engaged are students at university and if this factor is involved in student success. To explore the association between academic engagement and achievement. Methods Cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 304 students of Health Sciences. They were asked

ABSTRACT: Junior doctors’ guide to portfolio learning and building.

Abstract BACKGROUND: A portfolio is a collection of evidence supporting an individual's achievement of competencies and learning outcomes. The material included in the portfolio must be reflected upon, as reflection provides the evidence that learning has taken place. CONTEXT: Portfolio learning is important for two principal reasons: assessment of the trainee, and for lifelong

ABSTRACT: Stages of competency for medical procedures.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Basic medical procedures have historically been taught at the bedside, without a formal curriculum. The supervision of basic procedures is often provided by the next most senior member of the health care team, who themselves may have very little experience. This approach does not allow for preparatory reading or deliberate

ABSTRACT: Asynchronous discussion: a comparison of larger and smaller discussion group size.

Abstract AIM: To explore the effect of size and strategy on asynchronous discussions (AD) in a small baccalaureate nursing program. BACKGROUND: As the prevalence of e-learning increases in nursing education, the use of AD as a learning strategy will increase. Because the AD can be engaging, group size should be considered to enhance learning. METHOD: Descriptive,
