Meet the Editors: Teresa M. Chan, MD, MHPE
What are your roles and responsibilities with Academic Medicine?I am an associate editor for the journal. This means that I review submissions and triage them for review or not (e.g., desk rejections). When submissions are reviewed, I review them again and make a decision on whether to further ask the authors for a revision (or not). Finally, when revised submissions come in, I handle the manuscript again. At this phase, we may still reject the submission (if some red flag issues come to light) or I continue to provide feedback to the authors in concert with our editorial staff to ensure that the very best version of the...

How to read, understand and write great medical research
These excellent tips are kindly shared by RK Sharma and HL Ogle, two medical students at the University of Exeter, aiming to clear up many of the inaccurate assumptions of how difficult publishing is and provide a clear guide for students to begin their own writing journeys.
#1. Find your why: Evidence-based medicine means that these are vital skills, and it has long been thought that the habits should be learned from early on.
#2. Play to your strengths and be realistic: A little bit of thought and planning at this stage will create a much friendlier introduction to research. Take a little time to reflect and think about ...

In search of an evidence-based approach to occupational therapy practice education that would include simulation experiences
Simulation is a methodology used to replicate real-world tasks. Simulation provides experiences that lead to direct learning or that can be used as an assessment of competence. Such tasks have been used as a primary tactic in occupational therapy and other rehabilitation services since their inception - although they were generally applied in a therapeutic context. For example, an individual would learn how to dress themselves out of context to develop skill, and then that skill would be transferred to contextual learning. Sometimes, more esoterically, a simulated activity broken down into com...

Tackling Health Disparities in Louisiana
“If you bring a public health program to people where they live, you can get amazing results,” says Peter Katzmarzyk, Ph.D., a professor of pediatric obesity and diabetes at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University. Specifically, bringing health programs into underserved communities can lead to strong engagement and positive changes in people’s health. Dr. Katzmarzyk is part of the NIGMS-funded Louisiana Clinical & Translational Science Center (LA CaTS), a collaboration between 10 academic, research, and health care delivery institutions that focuses on reducing health disparities in Loui...

Making a MARC at Vanderbilt
“What we’re trying to do is support the students’ attachment to being a scientist, to becoming part of the community,” says Douglas McMahon, Ph.D., the Stevenson Professor of Biological Sciences at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and a co-director of Vanderbilt’s Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) program. MARC focuses on undergraduates from diverse backgrounds who are in the biomedical sciences and plan to pursue a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree after graduation.

Alternate Realities Help Medical Education And Training During COVID-19
With the need to limit physical contact amidst the pandemic, the whole world turned to virtual solutions to reprise their daily activities. Zoom and Slack became the new workplace; and even medical consultations were increasingly conducted online.
However, by turning indoors, aspiring healthcare professionals were negatively impacted since hands-on practices and training were limited, if not impossible. In Scotland, dental students had to repeat a whole year due to insufficient clinical exposure. In particular, they could not practise aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) enough. The latter were limited due to their pote...

The Education Portfolio: Reflecting on the Past to Move Forward
As I entered my final year of training and saw dozens of colleagues go through a professional development plateau, I wanted to be proactive in approaching my transition to a faculty role. That’s where my Educator’s Portfolio (EP) (compared to a traditional curriculum vitae (CV) in an Academic Medicine Last Page I coauthored) came into play. Having used my CV as the starting point for my early EP draft, I initially perceived the EP to be documentation of my past successes in education. However, the EP challenged me to seriously reflect on achievements in a more critical way, in how these could be interwoven to make a co...
