Minding the gap: towards a shared clinical reasoning lexicon across the pre-clerkship/clerkship transition
This study compares how educational leaders in these two phases understand clinical reasoning instruction. Previously reported cross-sectional surveys of pre-clerkship clinical skills course directors, and clerkship leaders were compared. Comparisons focused on perceived importance of a number of core clinical reasoning concepts, barriers to clinical reasoning instruction, level of familiarity across the undergraduate medical curriculum, and inclusion of clinical reasoning instruction in each area of the curriculum. Analyses were performed using the Mann Whitney U test. Both sets of leaders rated lack of curricular time as...

Does gender disparity exist in neurosurgery training? Evidence from a nationwide survey from Pakistan
Med Educ Online. 2024 Dec 31;29(1):2310385. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2024.2310385. Epub 2024 Jan 30.ABSTRACTGender disparities are prevalent in the neurosurgical field, particularly for female trainees, despite the growing demand for neurosurgeons. The situation is bleaker in low-and middle-income countries, where gender disparities among neurosurgical trainees have not been evaluated. We aimed to gauge the gender differences in opportunities and perceptions of neurosurgery training in Pakistan by comparing responses between males and females. A nationwide web-based survey was conducted in Pakistan, covering 22 College of Phy...

COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on medical interns' mental health of public and private hospitals in Guadalajara
CONCLUSION: Our study emphasizes the significant impact of various factors on burnout levels among medical students and health-care professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prolonged exposure to COVID-19 patients, reduced staffing, and increased workload contributed to burnout, affecting well-being and quality of care. Targeted interventions and resilience-building strategies are needed to mitigate burnout and promote well-being in health-care settings.PMID:38281205 | PMC:PMC10823882 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2308360 (Source: Medical Education Online)

Medical education research study quality instrument: an objective instrument susceptible to subjectivity
CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results there is evidence that MERSQI items can be significantly influenced by interpretation, which lead to a difference in scoring. The MERSQI is a useful guide for identifying research methodologies. However, it should not be used to make judgments on the overall quality of medical education research methodology in its current format. The authors make specific recommendations for how the instrument could be revised for greater clarity and accuracy.PMID:38266115 | PMC:PMC10810632 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2308359 (Source: Medical Education Online)

Characterizing the initial effects of the single accreditation system merge on the ophthalmology residency match
DISCUSSION: The transition to ACGME accreditation seems to have primarily harmed DO and IMG applicants in the ophthalmology match while benefitting MDs. Various factors such as loss of protected residency positions for DO applicants and the closure of osteopathic ophthalmology residency programs are likely reasons to blame for this decrease in osteopathic representation.PMID:38262001 | PMC:PMC10810612 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2307124 (Source: Medical Education Online)
