Integrating ultrasound education and resources within undergraduate medical education in order to Bring Ultrasound Internationally for Long-term Development (BUILD)
CONCLUSIONS: The BUILD curriculum is a feasible construct to prepare students for using ultrasound during global electives. Students successfully performed proctored scans in a variety of settings. This format can be adopted by other institutions to further support student and global ultrasound programs.PMID:35045141 | DOI:10.11152/mu-3306

Mythmaking in medical education and medical practice.
CONCLUSIONS: These familiar myths have maintained prominent roles in medical thinking because they represent wisdom passed down from eminent sources, they teach physiology and medical skills, and they offer physicians a sense of control in the face of uncertainty. In addition to providing scientific evidence, changing physicians' practice requires acknowledging that even meticulous care cannot always avert bad outcomes.

Interactive 3D Digital Models for Anatomy and Medical Education.
Authors: Erolin C Abstract This chapter explores the creation and use of interactive, three-dimensional (3D), digital models for anatomy and medical education. Firstly, it looks back over the history and development of virtual 3D anatomy resources before outlining some of the current means of their creation; including photogrammetry, CT and surface scanning, and digital modelling, outlining advantages and disadvantages for each. Various means of distribution are explored, including; virtual learning environments, websites, interactive PDF's, virtual and augmented reality, bespoke applications, and 3D printing, with...

When quick response codes didn ’t do the trick
AbstractMedical education programs in the United States or Canada comply with the Liaison Committee on medical education standards to ensure their graduates provide proficient medical care. One standard includes student development as a  lifelong learner. The competency of lifelong learning is developed through self-directed activities such as students evaluating their learning objectives and resources without external help.Quick response (QR) codes were the technological tools introduced in a  traditional medical institution to enhance students’ self-directed initiative to tap resources. Relevant lecture objectives an...

Virtual reality aided visualization of fluid flow simulations with application in medical education and diagnostics
Abstract: Medical education, training and preoperative diagnostics can be drastically improved with advanced technologies, such as virtual reality. The method proposed in this paper enables medical doctors and students to visualize and manipulate three-dimensional models created from CT or MRI scans, and also to analyze the results of fluid flow simulations. Simulation of fluid flow using the finite element method is performed, in order to compute the shear stress on the artery walls. The simulation of motion through the artery is also enabled. The virtual reality system proposed here could shorten the length of training p...

Family physicians' professional identity formation: a study protocol to explore impression management processes in institutional academic contexts
DiscussionThis empirical study is strongly grounded in theory and will contribute to the scant body of literature on family physicians' professional identity formation processes in medical schools. Findings will potentially have important implications for the practice of family medicine, medical education and health and educational policies.

Evaluating the integration of pre-mortem body donor imaging into a dissection-based medical anatomy course
Medical faculties are currently embracing a modernistic approach to anatomical education that integrates diagnostic imaging largely through post-mortem computed tomography scanning of body donors. Post-mortem ...

The LISS—A Public Database of Common Imaging Signs of Lung Diseases for Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis Research and Medical Education
Lung computed tomography (CT) imaging signs play important roles in the diagnosis of lung diseases. In this paper, we review the significance of CT imaging signs in disease diagnosis and determine the inclusion criterion of CT scans and CT imaging signs of our database. We develop the software of abnormal regions annotation and design the storage scheme of CT images and annotation data. Then, we present a publicly available database of lung CT imaging signs, called LISS for short, which contains 271 CT scans and 677 abnormal regions in them. The 677 abnormal regions are divided into nine categories of common CT imaging sig...

The validity of a professional competence tool for physiotherapy students in simulation-based clinical education: a Rasch analysis
Despite the recent widespread adoption of simulation in clinical education in physiotherapy, there is a lack of validated tools for assessment in this setting. The Assessment of Physiotherapy Practice (APP) is...

Beyond a good story: from Hawthorne Effect to reactivity in health professions education research
ConclusionThis article thus concludes with three recommendations: that researchers, editors and reviewers in the HPE community use the phrase ‘participant reactivity’ when considering the participant, observer and research question triad; that researchers invest in interpersonal relationships at their study site to mitigate the effects of altered behaviour; and that researchers use theory to make sense of participants’ altered behaviour and use it as a window into the social world. The term ‘participant reactivity’ better reflects current scientific understandings of the research process and highlights the cognit...

Integration of Scientific Competence into Gross Anatomy Teaching Using Poster Presentations: Feasibility and Perception among Medical Students
This report describes its integration into anatomical teaching. On the basis of the findings in dissection courses from two consecutive years, students worked on either a case report (n = 70) or an original work (n=6) in the format of a scientific poster while learning to use primary literature. Posters were evaluated by juror teams using standardized evaluation criteria. Student perception of the project was estimated by quantitative and qualitative data obtained from the faculty ´s course evaluation and an online‐survey. Overall, students worked collaboratively and invested extra‐time (median [MD] 3.0 hours) in post...
