MANUSCRIPT: “Best Practice” Skills Lab Training vs. a “see one, do one” Approach in Undergraduate Medical Education: An RCT on Students’ Long-Term Ability to Perform Procedural Clinical Skills.

BACKGROUND: Benefits of skills lab training are widely accepted, but there is sparse research on its long-term effectiveness. We therefore conducted a prospective, randomised controlled-trial to investigate whether in a simulated setting students trained according to a "best practice" model (BPSL) perform two skills of different complexity (nasogastral tube insertion, NGT;

ABSTRACT: A Randomized Trial of Two e-Learning Strategies for Teaching Substance Abuse Management Skills to Physicians

ABSTRACT: The Evolving Role of Online Virtual Patients in Internal Medicine Clerkship Education Nationally.

PURPOSE: Despite the significant resources required to develop and maintain virtual patient (VP) programs, little is known about why this innovation has been adopted and how it is implemented. Understanding needs and implementation strategies is important for effective curriculum planning. METHOD: In 2009 and 2011, surveys were offered to 110 U.S. internal medicine

ABSTRACT: Developing Physicians as Catalysts for Change

Failures in care coordination are a reflection of larger systemic shortcomings in communication and in physician engagement in shared team leadership. Traditional medical care and medical education neither focus on nor inspire responses to the challenges of coordinating care across episodes and sites. The authors suggest that the absence of

ABSTRACT: The Challenge of Promoting Professionalism Through Medical Ethics and Humanities Education
