ABSTRACT: Teaching and learning of medical biochemistry according to clinical realities: A case study

To foster medical students to become physicians who will be lifelong independent learners and critical thinkers with healthy skepticism and provide high-quality patient care guided by the best evidence, teaching of evidence-based medicine (EBM) has become an important component of medical education. Currently, the teaching and learning of biochemistry in

MANUSCRIPT: Morbidity and Mortality Conference in Emergency Medicine Residencies and the Culture of Safety

INTRODUCTION: Morbidity and mortality conferences (M+M) are a traditional part of residency training and mandated by the Accreditation Counsel of Graduate Medical Education. This study's objective was to determine the goals, structure, and the prevalence of practices that foster strong safety cultures in the M+Ms of U.S. emergency medicine (EM) residency

ABSTRACT: Virtual Patients in continuing medical education and residency training

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review focusing on the impact of training programs on ankle-brachial index (ABI) performance by medical students, doctors and primary care providers. Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent disease affecting ∼202 million people worldwide. ABI is an essential component of medical education because

MANUSCRIPT: Virtual Patients in continuing medical education and residency training

AIM: Virtual patients (VPs) are a one-of-a-kind e-learning resource, fostering clinical reasoning skills through clinical case examples. The combination with face-to-face teaching is important for their successful integration, which is referred to as "blended learning". So far little is known about the use of VPs in the field of continuing medical

RESOURCE: Threshold Concepts: Undergraduate Teaching, Postgraduate Training and Professional Development A short introduction and bibliography

Over the past decade this concept has been embraced by many disciplines outside economics; indeed the above quote is from Glynis Cousin’s excellent short introduction to the concept written for earth scientists. The threshold concept has been seen as a valuable tool, not only in facilitating students’ understanding of their

ABSTRACT: Exploring patterns and pattern languages of medical education.

CONTEXT: The practices and concepts of medical education are often treated as global constants even though they can take many forms depending on the contexts in which they are realised. This represents challenges in presenting and appraising medical education research, as well as in translating practices and concepts between different contexts.

ABSTRACT: How does peer teaching compare to faculty teaching?

PURPOSE: In undergraduate medical education, peer-teaching has become an established and common method to enhance student learning. Evidence suggests that peer-teaching provides learning benefits for both learners and tutors. We aimed to describe the outcomes for medical students taught by peers through systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature. METHODS: Seven databases were

ABSTRACT: Twitter in urology and other surgical specialties at global conferences

BACKGROUND: Over recent years, Twitter has demonstrated an expanding role in scientific discussion, surgical news and conferences. This study evaluates the role of Twitter in urological conferences, with comparison to other surgical specialties. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of Twitter metrics during the two largest recent English-speaking conferences for each surgical specialty was performed.

ABSTRACT: How can we improve teaching of ECG interpretation skills? Findings from a prospective randomised trial.

BACKGROUND: There is an ongoing debate on how ECG interpretation should be taught during undergraduate medical training. This study addressed the impact of teaching format, examination consequences and student motivation on skills retention. METHODS: A total of 493 fourth-year medical students participated in a six-group, partially randomised trial. Students received three levels of

MANUSCRIPT: Knowledge and Perceptions of College Students Regarding the Physician Assistant Profession

Purpose: Physician assistants (PAs) are nationally certified and state-licensed medical professionals who practice medicine on healthcare teams with physicians and other providers. Despite the increasing popularity and utility of the profession, knowledge of the role of PAs remains scarce among many segments of the population. The purpose of this study
