Adapting continuing medical education for post-conflict areas: assessment in Nagorno Karabagh - a qualitative study
Conclusion: The qualitative research methods evaluation highlighted the fact that the health care human resources training should be closely linked to appropriate technologies, supplies, facilities and human resources available in post-conflict zones and identified the central importance of creating health professional networks and professional confidence among physicians in these zones. The qualitative research approach most effectively identifies these limitations and strengths and can directly inform the optimal adjustments for effective CME planning in these difficult areas of greatest need.

Factors associated with declaration of disability in medical students and junior doctors, and the association of declared disability with academic performance: observational study using data from the UK Medical Education Database, 2002-2018 (UKMED54)
Conclusions Substantial increases in declaration of SLD may reflect changes in the social and legal environment during the period of the study. Those who declare SLD are just as likely to gain a primary medical qualification as those who do not. For some individuals, disability declaration appears to depend on context, based on differences in numbers declaring SLD before, during and after medical school.

Disability competency training in medical education
CONCLUSIONS: Findings support the need for better integration of disability competency training woven throughout medical school curriculum to encourage in-depth understanding about disability. Formal inclusion of the Core Competencies into the Liaison Committee on Medical Education standards can help ensure that disability competency training does not rely on champions or resources.PMID:37148284 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2023.2207773

Conclusions:The results indicate that the CME-certified 30-minute video panel discussion was effective at improving clinically relevant knowledge of and treatment decisions based on prognostic factors in MS. Future education efforts should focus additional attention on the impact of different prognostic profiles on treatment decisions, as well as clinical modeling of the disease process of MS.Study Supported by: An independent educational grant from BiogenDisclosure: Dr. Finnegan has nothing to disclose.

Legibility: knowing disability in medical education inclusion
AbstractHow medical students, their teachers, and school administrators understand disability appears connected to ongoing, unequal access to medical education for disabled people. The stigmatization of disability within medical education affects students ’ disability disclosures, yet few studies have explored how understandings of disability influence inclusion practices beyond individual student actions. This paper develops the concept oflegibility, derived from a constructivist grounded theory study that examined disability inclusion at four U.S. medical schools through interviews with 19 disabled students and 27 scho...

Rater cognition: review and integration of research findings
ConclusionOur review has allowed us to identify common underlying conceptualisations of observed rater mechanisms and subsequently propose a comprehensive, although complex, framework for the dynamic and contextual nature of the rating process. This framework could help bridge the gap between researchers adopting different perspectives when studying rater cognition and enable the interpretation of contradictory findings of raters’ performance by determining which mechanism is enabled or disabled in any given context

Measuring differential attainment: a longitudinal analysis of assessment results for 1512 medical students at four Scottish medical schools
Conclusions The tendency for attainment gaps to grow during undergraduate medical education suggests that educational factors at medical schools may—however inadvertently—contribute to DA. It is of critical importance that medical schools investigate attainment gaps within their cohorts and explore potential underlying causes.

Wheels of Injustice: How Medical Schools Retained the Power to Discriminate Against Applicants in Wheelchairs in the Era of Disability Rights
This article explores how medical schools set boundaries for admission into the profession, remained intransigent in their discrimination, and persuaded courts to side with them. Interviews with physicians in wheelchairs, legal documents, medical journal articles, and white papers demonstrate how medical schools established physical standards for entry into the profession specifically in response to applicants with disabilities. In the 1970s, medical schools created exclusionary physical requirements and persuaded the Supreme Court that these "technical standards" preserved patient safety. In the 1980s, schools asserted th...
