Assessing short and long‐term educational impact of visits to hospice via a combination of qualitative methods
Abstract While qualitative methods have gained considerable recognition in medical education research, employing multiple qualitative data sources in assessing long‐term educational impact is rare.

Counties in California sue manufacturers of opioid analgesics
This week, two counties in California sues five manufacturers of opioid analgesics, accusing them of carrying out a “campaign of deception” to boost sales of their products.

Patients' estimations of the importance of preventive health services: a nationwide, population-based cross-sectional study in Portugal
Conclusions Our results reveal that Portuguese patients overestimate the importance of preventive medical activities, tend to give more importance to diagnostic and laboratory tests than to lifestyle measures, do not discriminate tests that are important and evidence-based, and seem not be aware of the individualisation of risk. Family physicians should be aware of these optimistic expectations, because these can influence the doctor–patient relationship when discussing these interventions and incorporating personalised risk.

Effects of a Brief Curricular Intervention on Medical Students’ Attitudes Toward People with Disabilities in Healthcare Settings
This study sought to evaluate the effects of a brief curricular intervention on medical students’ attitudes toward physical disability in healthcare settings. Students participated in a focused curriculum about people with disabilities (PWDs), which included 2.5 hours of lectures, panel discussions, and video presentations. After the curricular sessions, students were surveyed (n = 237), and their attitudes toward PWDs in healthcare settings were compared with those of students who did not undergo the intervention (n = 251) using the Disability Attitudes in Health Care (DAHC) scale. Thematic analysis of the students’ c...

Disclosure of Disabilities by Medical Students
To the Editor The A Piece of My Mind article by Dr Herzer reflects on medical education for students with disabilities. Herzer noted that “fear of disclosure is real and prevalent.” As a medical student who uses a wheelchair due to a neuromuscular disease, I would like to expand upon this issue.
