Integration of Arts and Humanities in Medical Education: a Narrative Review
AbstractThis narrative review aims to identify and review the extant literature describing methods and outcomes of embedding the arts and humanities (AH) into medical school curricula. The Association of American Medical Colleges changed the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) in 2015 to place new emphasis on the role of liberal arts in the process of developing well-rounded physicians. Consequently, medical schools have been implementing more connections to creative writing, literature, theater, movies, music, and the visual arts into their curricula. To review the current literature, we focused on methods medical educa...

Clinical Research Recession: Training Needs Perception Among Medical Students
Abstract Clinical research is an integrated part of medical education. There is a noticeable decrease in the number of physician-scientists in developing countries, which is reflected by a decrease in research output and publications from these countries. We conducted a survey aiming to identify the gaps in clinical research training from the perspective of medical students. The results can be used to customize future clinical research trainings. The survey tool was divided into six modules which represent the cornerstones of clinical research based on similar surveys done for the same purpose. For each module, qu...

Attitude Towards End of Life Communication of Austrian Medical Students
AbstractMedical students have to acquire theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and a personal attitude to meet the emerging needs of palliative care. The present study aimed to assess the personal attitude of Austrian medical students towards end of life communication (EOLC), as key part of palliative care. This cross-sectional, mono-institutional assessment invited all medical students at the Medical University of Vienna in 2015. The assessment was conducted web-based via questionnaire about attitudes towards EOLC. Additional socio-demographic and medical education-related parameters were collected. Overall, 743 medica...

A Multicentered Academic Medical Center Experience of a Simulated Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for Hematology/Oncology Fellows
We report on a multicentered experience utilizing a simulated RCA educational module in an attempt to provide fellows with the tools needed to participate in a live RCA and to increase awareness of the need to analyze patient safety events. The 2-h module included a didactic session explaining the basics of an RCA including common terminology, effective chart review, and personal interviews. The fellows assessed a patient safety event of a missed coagulopathy and created an event flow map and fishbone analysis. They then formed root cause/contributing factor statements and proposed a solution. Twenty-three fellows from two...

ReCAP: Attitudes, Beliefs, and Awareness of Graduate Medical Education Trainees Regarding Palliative Care at a Comprehensive Cancer Center CARE DELIVERY
QUESTION ASKED: What are graduate medical education trainees’ attitudes and beliefs regarding palliative care, what is their awareness of the availability and role of palliative care services, and does previous exposure to a palliative care rotation facilitate a better awareness of palliative care? SUMMARY ANSWER: A vast majority of oncology trainees perceived palliative care services to be beneficial for patient care (92%) and were supportive of mandatory palliative care training (74%). Surgical oncology trainees and trainees with no previous palliative care exposure were significantly less likely to consult pallia...

The Hidden Curriculum in Postgraduate Medical Education: a Commentary
AbstractThe hidden curriculum is the set of implicit influences which occur within health care organizations. The hidden curriculum has a tremendous impact on medical trainees and practicing physicians alike due to its influence in the domains of policy development, evaluation, resource allocation and institutional slang. We explore and reflect on the various ways in which the hidden curriculum impacts medical trainees and professionals in academic medical institutions.

Clinical Learning, Didactic Education, and Research Experiences of Radiation Oncology Resident Physicians in Canada
AbstractChanges in the field of radiation oncology (RO) impacts residency training. Assessing trainee experiences is essential to inform curriculum development. We aim to explore gaps and strengths in current Canadian RO training, as we move towards competency-based medical education (CBME). An online survey was distributed to residents at all Canadian RO training programs. Surveys consisted of 66 open-ended, Likert-scale, matrix-style, and multiple-choice questions, and assessed clinical exposure, didactic teaching, professional relationships, and research experiences. Statistics were calculated from anonymized, aggregate...

Development, implementation, and outcomes of a simulation-based medical education (SBME) prostate brachytherapy workshop for radiation oncology residents
Despite a preponderance of data demonstrating strong clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness, prostate brachytherapy use and competency continue to decline. Enhanced resident education may help reverse this trend. We therefore developed and implemented a simulation-based medical education course for low-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy (LDR-PB).

Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME): an Overview and Relevance to the Education of Future Surgical Oncologists
AbstractIn the next two decades, the global cancer burden is expected to rise by 47%, and the demand for global cancer surgery will increase by 52%. At present, only 25% of the estimated 80% of patients needing surgical intervention have access to timely surgical care. The shortage of a trained workforce of surgical oncologists is one of the main barriers to providing the optimal surgical intervention needed for cancer patients. Some of the contributing factors to the shortage of trained surgical oncologists are variations in the current global educational platforms, long training programs, and physician burnout. Therefore...

Development and Pilot of a Cervical Cancer Brachytherapy Simulation Training Program for Graduate Medical Education in Radiation Oncology
Brachytherapy (BT) is an integral component of curative therapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. Despite this importance, U. S. practice patterns have identified a decrease in appropriate BT use, and a corresponding decrease in overall survival with its omission. Although the ACGME requires residents to train in intracavitary BT, it does not specify a minimum number of gynecological (GYN) BT cases. To address the decline in cervical cancer BT utilization, this project aimed to improve resident GYN BT knowledge and training by developing a simulation training program for radiation oncology (RO) trainees, and to determi...
