ABSTRACT: A scoping review of undergraduate ambulatory care education

BACKGROUND: Since a disproportionate amount of medical education still occurs in hospitals, there are concerns that medical school graduates are not fully prepared to deliver efficient and effective care in ambulatory settings to increasingly complex patients. AIMS: To understand the current extent of scholarship in this area. METHOD: A scoping review was conducted by searching

ABSTRACT: A global model for effective use and evaluation of e-learning in health

Healthcare systems worldwide face a wide range of challenges, including demographic change, rising drug and medical technology costs, and persistent and widening health inequalities both within and between countries. Simultaneously, issues such as professional silos, static medical curricula, and perceptions of "information overload" have made it difficult for medical training

ABSTRACT: Promoting health behaviours in medical education

BACKGROUND: In light of the global trends of increasing obesity, the education of doctors and other health professionals warrants greater attention to promoting effective weight management through health behaviours related to eating and exercise. CONTEXT: Gaps in training in these areas have been identified related to weight management and wellness. Diverse benefits of

ABSTRACT: Faculty development activities in family medicine: in search of innovation

OBJECTIVE: To describe the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's (ACGME) faculty development requirements, explore the range of faculty development activities and support currently used by family medicine residencies to meet these requirements, and describe one innovative approach to satisfy this need. METHOD: An electronic survey of faculty development activities and support offered

MANUSCRIPT: Transparency in medical error disclosure: the need for formal teaching in undergraduate medical education curriculum

As ‘practice makes perfect’, we believe that the incorporation of formal teaching of transparent medical error disclosure in medical curricula is greatly needed. Medical schools play central roles in cultivating the significance and developing the communication skills needed for proficient and effective medical error disclosure. Moreover, they play key roles

MANUSCRIPT: New frontiers in medical education: simulation technology at Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine

Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine is using a variety of medical simulation systems in the training of its medical students. The simulators allow students to learn and practice skills in a controlled environment, and they enable faculty to challenge students with a broader range of conditions than might ordinarily

ABSTRACT: A novel approach to needs assessment in curriculum development: Going beyond consensus methods

Background: Needs assessment should be the starting point for curriculum development. In medical education, expert opinion and consensus methods are commonly employed. Aim: This paper showcases a more practice-grounded needs assessment approach. Methods: A mixed-methods approach, incorporating a national survey, practice audit, and expert consensus, was developed and piloted in

ABSTRACT: Internal medicine rounding practices and the accreditation council for graduate medical education core competencies

BACKGROUND: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has established the requirement for residency programs to assess trainees' competencies in 6 core domains (patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning, interpersonal skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice). As attending rounds serve as a primary means for educating trainees at academic medical centers,

ABSTRACT: How we implemented a resident-led medical simulation curriculum in a large internal medicine residency program

Abstract Mannequin-based simulation in graduate medical education has gained widespread acceptance. Its use in non-procedural training within internal medicine (IM) remains scant, possibly due to the logistical barriers to implementation of simulation curricula in large residency programs. We report the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Medicine's scale-up of a voluntary

MANUSCRIPT: Clinicians should be aware of their responsibilities as role models: a case report on the impact of poor role modeling

Background : Role modeling is an important and valuable educational method. It is predominant throughout under-graduate medical education, and attributes of exemplary medical role models are manifold. Aim : This article describes the impact of poor role modeling on medical students' professional and personal development on the basis of a
