Depression Found to Be More Prevalent in Medical Students
Asystematic review and meta-analysis published Tuesday inJAMA suggests that depressive symptoms may be more prevalent among medical students than others of similar age in the general population. The findings, which also revealed that a low percentage of these students seek care, point to the importance of identifying physicians at every stage of their career who are experiencing distress and helping them get the care that they may need.For the report, Douglas Mata, M.D., M.P.H., of Harvard Medical School and colleagues analyzed 195 studies that reported on the prevalence of depression, depressive symptoms, or suicidal idea...

Equity, diversity, and …exclusion? A national mixed methods study of “belonging” in Canadian undergraduate medical education
AbstractEquity, diversity, and inclusion remain a prominent focus in medical schools, yet the phenomenon of “belonging” has arguably been overlooked. Little is known regarding how belonging is experienced by medical students from groups that face systemic oppression and exclusion. We employed a sequential explanatory mixed methods design to explore how students from equity-deserving groups (EDGs) expe rience belonging during medical school, including those who are women, racialized, Indigenous, disabled, and 2SLGBTQIA+. First, we conducted a national cross-sectional survey of medical students (N = 480) measuring fo...

How is transition to medical practice shaped by a novel transitional role? A mixed-methods study
Conclusions
An explicitly transitional role can benefit doctors as they move from medical school to independent practice. We suggest that the features of supported autonomy are those of institutionalised liminality—a structured role ‘betwixt and between’ education and practice—and this lens may provide a guide to optimising the design of such posts.

The Missing Link: Connection Is the Key to Resilience in Medical Education
Awareness of the risks of burnout, depression, learner mistreatment, and suboptimal learning environments is increasing in academic medicine. A growing wellness and resilience movement has emerged in response to these disturbing trends; however, efforts to address threats to physician resilience have often emphasized strategies to improve life outside of work, with less attention paid to the role of belonging and connection at work. In this Commentary the authors propose that connection to colleagues, patients, and profession is fundamental to medical learners’ resilience, highlighting “social resilience” as a key fa...

Recommendations for teaching upon sensitive topics in forensic and legal medicine in the context of medical education pedagogy
Publication date: November 2016 Source:Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, Volume 44 Author(s): Kieran M. Kennedy, Stacey Scriver Undergraduate medical curricula typically include forensic and legal medicine topics that are of a highly sensitive nature. Examples include suicide, child abuse, domestic and sexual violence. It is likely that some students will have direct or indirect experience of these issues which are prevalent in society. Those students are vulnerable to vicarious harm from partaking in their medical education. Even students with no direct or indirect experience of these issues may be vulnerable to vi...

Perceptions and intentions relating to seeking help for depression among medical undergraduates in Sri Lanka: a cross-sectional comparison with non-medical undergraduates
ConclusionsAlthough medical training seems to be associated with better help-seeking beliefs, interventions are needed to improve these medical undergraduates’ intentions to personally seek professional help for depression. It is concerning that medical undergraduates who are depressed might be less likely to consider it beneficial to seek help and instead, deal with the problem alone.

High prevalence and risk factors of dropout intention among Chinese medical postgraduates
CONCLUSIONS: Mental distress is common among postgraduates, calling for timely interventions. Medical postgraduates reported higher turnover intention. Healthcare environment perception also affected the mental health and dropout intentions of medical students. A decent future income, reduced workload, shorter duration medical training, and better doctor-patient relationships are urgently needed.PMID:35356865 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2022.2058866
