Prevalence, perceptions, and consequences of substance use in medical students.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that substance use among medical students in the US is ongoing and associated with consequences in various domains. There is a lack of familiarity regarding school substance-use policies. Although there has been some progress in characterizing medical student alcohol use, less is known about the factors surrounding medical students' use of other substances. Updated, comprehensive studies on the patterns of medical student substance use are needed if we are to make the necessary changes needed to effectively prevent substance-use disorders among medical students and support those who are in nee...

Mapping health, social and health system issues and applying a social accountability inventory to a problem based learning medical curriculum
The objective of this study is to explore how well the components of social accountability are covered in a pre-clinical PBL medical curriculum and to determine the usefulness of an adapted validated social accountability framework. We identified Irish health needs and social issues through a literature review. The retrieved documents were aligned to four values (relevance, equity, cost-effectiveness and quality) from a validated social accountability inventory, to generate a map of social accountability values present in the Irish health system and population. We then used the adapted validated social accountability inven...

Evaluation of standardized doctor's orders as an educational tool for undergraduate medical students: a prospective cohort study
The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of standardized admission orders on disease-specific knowledge among undergraduate medical trainees. Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled Year 3 (n = 121) and Year 4 (n = 54) medical students at two academic hospitals in Toronto (Ontario, Canada) during their general internal medicine rotation. We used standardized orders for patient admissions for alcohol withdrawal (AW) and for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) as the intervention and manual order writing as the control.

APA Paper Describes How Psychiatrists Can Improve Health of SMI Patients
Psychiatrists should routinely screen patients with serious mental illness (SMI) for common medical conditions, counsel them on lifestyle modifications to reduce cardiovascular risk factors, and coordinate with their primary care physicians to narrow the longevity gap between this group and the general population. These were some of the conclusions in awhite paper that APA issued yesterday at a Capitol Hill briefing.More than a decade has passed since researchers found that people with SMI treated in the public mental health system are dying on average 25 years earlier than the general population. “The majority of these ...

Students' Perceptions of Trigger Warnings in Medical Education.
Abstract Phenomenon: Trigger warnings are verbal statements or written warnings that alert students in advance to potentially distressing material. Medical education includes numerous subjects frequently identified as triggers, such as abuse, rape, self-injurious behaviors, eating disorders, drug and alcohol addiction, and suicide. Thus, exploring medical students' perceptions of trigger warnings may provide a valuable perspective on the use of these warnings in higher education. APPROACH: As part of a larger descriptive, cross-sectional survey study on medical education, we assessed 1st- and 2nd-year medical...

Transforming Medical Education to Provide Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Patients: A Policy Brief
Ann Fam Med. 2023 Feb;21(Suppl 2):S92-S94. doi: 10.1370/afm.2926.ABSTRACTTransgender and gender-diverse (TGD) patients experience a greater burden of health disparities compared with their heterosexual/cisgender counterparts. Some of the poorer health outcomes observed in these populations are known to be associated with the prevalence of implicit bias, bullying, emotional distress, alcoholism, drug abuse, intimate partner violence, sexually transmitted infections (eg, human immunodeficiency virus and human papilloma virus), and cancer. The TGD populations face unique barriers to receiving both routine and gender-affirming...

Behaviour-based functional and dysfunctional strategies of medical students to cope with burnout.
CONCLUSIONS: The identified behavioural-based functional coping strategies suggest that social support and active relaxing exercises seem to be very important possibilities for medical students to reduce stress and exhaustion. The use of drugs and alcohol for stress reduction raises concerns. Programs are recommended to improve resilient behaviour and to impart the identified functional coping strategies to medical students. PMID: 30371222 [PubMed - in process]

Teaching and learning of medical biochemistry according to clinical realities: A case study
Abstract To foster medical students to become physicians who will be lifelong independent learners and critical thinkers with healthy skepticism and provide high‐quality patient care guided by the best evidence, teaching of evidence‐based medicine (EBM) has become an important component of medical education. Currently, the teaching and learning of biochemistry in medical schools incorporates its medical relevance and applications. However, to our knowledge there have been no reports on integrating EBM with teaching and learning medical biochemistry. Here, we present a case study to illustrate the significance of this a...
