Impact of medical education on knowledge and attitudes regarding the human papilloma virus and vaccination: Comparison before and 6 years after the introduction of the vaccines.
CONCLUSION: The facts that vaccination programs are regarded as being important, and that knowledge on HPV increased, do not automatically result in an increase in participation in HPV vaccination programs. To increase participation, information must be provided with arguments that cannot be misinterpreted. PMID: 24161571 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A study to enhance medical students' professional decision-making, using teaching interventions on common medications.
CONCLUSION: Short teaching interventions in pharmacology did not lead to sustained improvements in their critical thinking skills in enhancing professional practice. It appears that students require earlier and more frequent exposure to these skills in their medical training. PMID: 26051556 [PubMed - in process]

Occupational Exposure to Blood, Hepatitis B Vaccine Knowledge and Uptake among Medical Students in Cameroon.
In this study we describe the knowledge of risk factors for HBV infection, history of accidental exposure to blood, awareness of HBV vaccine and the vaccination status among medical students in Cameroon.Methods/Findings: A cross-sectional survey was carried out using an anonymous self-administered questionnaire among 111 medical students. Sixty-two (55.9%) had had at least one accidental exposure to blood since the beginning of their medical training, with a median of 2 (IQR, 1-3) exposures. There was a good knowledge of the risk factors for HBV infection and awareness of HBV vaccine among participants. However, only 20 (1...

In this study we describe the knowledge of risk factors for HBV infection, history of accidental exposure to blood, awareness of HBV vaccine and the vaccination status among medical students in Cameroon. Methods: In April 2012, a cross-sectional survey was carried out using a pretested self-administered questionnaire among 111 medical students. Results: Sixty-two students (55.9%) had had at least one accidental exposure to blood since the beginning of their medical training, with a median of 2 (IQR, 1-3) exposures.

Attitudes of medical students towards the influenza vaccination
Conclusions: Positive attitudes towards the flu vaccine are driven by a desire to protect self, others and prevent cross-infection, whereas negative attitudes are largely due to misconceptions about the vaccine. Hospitals and Universities should dispel misconceptions about the vaccine, but recognise that negative attitudes do not account fully for low uptake in students.

Assessment of medical undergraduates relation to pneumococcal conjugate vaccine use
Conclusions: During the study, it was revealed that students’ awareness and positive relation to PCV had significantly increased. However, despite the availability of clinical recommendations, the current level of knowledge in preventive vaccination cannot be considered as satisfactory. We believe that pneumonia preventive methods should be studied in more detail in medical universities.

Project ECHO for Cancer Care: a Scoping Review of Provider Outcome Evaluations
J Cancer Educ. 2023 Mar 31. doi: 10.1007/s13187-023-02292-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Project ECHO model of telementoring has been used for the past 10 years to expand access to specialized cancer care. This scoping review identifies evidence for the model's ability to improve provider outcomes, synthesizing findings from existing studies within Moore et al.'s (2009) framework for continuing medical education outcomes. We search two large research databases and a collection maintained by Project ECHO staff for articles that focus on cancer ECHO programs, involve primary data collection, and were published between ...

Dermatology ECHO - an innovative solution to address limited access to dermatology expertise.
CONCLUSIONS: As specialty medical evidence-based recommendations continue to increase, providers practicing in isolated rural and underserved areas may find it challenging to keep up with the new knowledge. Dermatology ECHO creates a community of practice that allows participating providers to discuss complex cases, receive specific guidance and mentoring, and participate in CME presentations. The case presented here supports the authors\' observations that Dermatology ECHO is an appropriate platform for learning evidence-based medical knowledge via videoconferencing technology.

‘I Have the Skills, I Have the Training.’ How Refugee Doctors Are Helping the U.S. Fight COVID-19 Even Without a Medical License
Long before he started medical school in Baghdad, Ahmed Al-Sarray knew he wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. By the time he graduated in 2015, that search for purpose evolved into a passion for health care in times of crisis. Even a grueling medical residency in the hardest-hit emergency rooms and trauma wards of Baghdad’s war-torn hospitals wasn’t enough to deter him. But the militants were. As rival militias flooded Al-Sarray’s emergency ward starting in 2017, he found himself fighting for his own life as much as those of his patients. Militia leaders demanded that he care for their fi...
