Precision Education in Neurology: The impact of student learning preference on predicting knowledge, skills, and satisfaction by type of learning environment in neurology (P1.055)
Conclusions:While student preferences did not affect knowledge or skills, satisfaction varied by learner preference and type of instruction. e-Learning was favored by abstract/group learners and non-web-methods by concrete/individual learners. As educators respond to a satisfaction-driven learning environment, learning preference may facilitate personalized approaches to supplementing bedside exposure.Disclosure: Dr. Vargas has nothing to disclose.

Words matter: Translanguaging in medical communication skills training
AbstractMedical communication across languages is gaining attention as the multilingual character of local, regional, and national populations across the world continues to grow. Effectively communicating with patients involves not only learning medical terminology, but also understanding the community ’s linguistic practices, and gaining the ability to explain health concepts in patient-centered language. Language concordance between physicians and patients improves patient outcomes, but methods to teach communication skills for physicians are usually limited to the majority or official languag e. For example, in U.S. ...

Defining and measuring denigration of general practice in medical education.
This article discusses the importance of medical schools detecting and managing denigration of GP in their curricula and, for the first time, suggests an objective approach to the measurement of denigration. Four facets which constitute denigration are discussed and proposed as a collective measure. These are: language used about GP, proportion of curriculum time spent by students in GP, accurate representation of the clinical content of GP and equity of funding between hospital and GP placements. Furthermore, we discuss the key ethical and legal challenges that are faced by medical schools and, indeed, healthcare settings...

Measurement precision at the cut score in medical multiple choice exams: Theory matters
DiscussionWe found that conditional reliability shows inverse distributions and conclusions regarding the measurement precision at the cut score depending on the theory used. As the use of IRT seems to be more appropriate for criterion-oriented standard setting in the framework of competency-based medical education, our findings might have practical implications for the design and quality assurance of medical education assessments.

Freedom from discrimination or freedom to discriminate? Discursive tensions within discrimination policies in medical education
In this study, the authors sought to identify and understand the discursive effects of discrimination policies within medical education. The authors assembled an archive of 22 texts consisting of publicly available discrimination and harassment policy documents in 13 Canadian medical schools that were active as of November 2019. Each text was analysed to identify themes, rhetorical strategies, problematization, and power relations. Policies described truth statements that appear to idealize equity, yet there were discourses related to professionalism and neutrality that were in tension with these ideals. There was also ten...

Community-engaged medical education: helping to address child health and social inequality
Medical education has a key role in helping to address child health and social inequality. In this paper we describe the rationale for developing a community-engaged approach to education, whereby medical schools partner with local communities. This symbiotic relationship enables medical students to experience authentic learning through working with communities to address local health and social priorities. Case studies of how such approaches have been implemented are described, with key takeaway points for paediatric healthcare professionals wanting to develop community-engaged educational initiatives.

Empathy is related to clinical competence in medical care
ConclusionsIn medical education, strategies that enhance the behavioural expression of empathy (or at least retard its decay) could help to make medical students appear to be more clinically competent to both examiners and patients. However, if medical students' internal emotions are found to be discrepant with their behaviour, these findings will raise difficult questions regarding the fundamental nature of genuine empathy and alert us to the possibility that medical students may learn that it pays to subscribe to the view that if a person does not feel empathy, he or she can fake it.

Reflections on learning and teaching medical ethics in UK medical schools
The development of learning, teaching and assessment of medical ethics and law over the last 40 years is reflected upon with particular reference to the roles of the London Medical Group, the Society for the Study of Medical Ethics, its successor Institute of Medical Ethics; the Journal of Medical Ethics and the General Medical Council. Several current issues are addressed. Although the situation seems incomparably better than it was 40 years ago, the relatively recent events in Mid Staffordshire National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trust show we cannot be complacent. Whatever role we have in the NHS or medic...

Survey of e-learning implementation and faculty support strategies in a cluster of mid-European medical schools
Conclusions: While all participating medical schools used e-learning concepts, this survey revealed also a reasonable support by institutional infrastructure and the importance of staff for the implementation level of e-learning offerings. However, data showed some potential for increasing tangible incentives to motivate teachers to engage in further use of e-learning. Furthermore, the use of individual tools and the distribution of e-learning presentations in various disciplines were quite inhomogeneous. The willingness of the medical schools to cooperate should be capitalized for the future, especially concerning the pro...

Creative art and medical student development: a qualitative study
ConclusionsA programme involving the creation of art based on stories of illness encouraged students’ explorations of conceptions of the self, family and society, as well as illness and medical care, while enhancing the development of a collaborative and patient‐centred worldview. Creative art can be a novel educational tool to promote a reflective, humanistic medical practice.
