Costs and inconsistencies in US IRB review of low‐risk medical education research
ConclusionsConsidering the value of multi‐site designs to address a range of research questions, enhance participant diversity and develop representative findings, solutions must be found to counter inefficiencies of current IRB review processes for low‐risk research, such as that usually conducted in medical education. Although we acknowledge that local review is an essential protective measure for research involving identifiable communities that are uniquely susceptible to social or economic harm, this report suggests that proposals to modernise and streamline IRB review processes for low‐risk research are timely and relevant.

The Albany Two‐Way Radio Conferences, 1955–1981: A Retrospective Look at a Program Providing Interactive Continuing Medical Education at a Distance
Despite early widespread recognition of the necessity of continuing medical education (CME) for practicing physicians and surgeons, medical schools and national medical organizations were slow to mobilize to address the need. One pioneering program, developed by the Albany Medical College in New York, not only provided CME, but did so in a live distance education format that allowed for interaction between the participants and the faculty presenters. The Albany Program commenced in 1955 using what was then state‐of‐the‐art technology; it exemplified principles and practices that can be seen as the precursors for the ...

‘It was serendipity’: a qualitative study of academic careers in medical education
ConclusionsBourdieu's theory provides insight into medical educator career paths and the positioning of medical education within medical schools. Medical educators have an indistinct practice, and limited cultural capital in the form of research outputs. In order to maintain and strengthen their careers, educators must create alternative sources of capital, through fostering collaborative alliances.

Revolutionizing Medical Education: Can ChatGPT Boost Subjective Learning and Expression?
AbstractChatGPT is an AI tool that can be used to enhance medical education by helping students develop subjective learning and expression skills. These skills are critical in clinical practice, but the current medical education system is heavily focused on objective assessments, such as Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). Students from non-English speaking backgrounds can particularly struggle with expressing themselves in English, which is the primary language of instruction in many medical schools worldwide. ChatGPT can provide additional language support for these students to help them develop their language skills and c...

How effective are selection methods in medical education? A systematic review
ConclusionsEvidence shows clearly that academic records, MMIs, aptitude tests, SJTs and SCs are more effective selection methods and are generally fairer than traditional interviews, references and personal statements. However, achievement in different selection methods may differentially predict performance at the various stages of medical education and clinical practice. Research into selection has been over‐reliant on cross‐sectional study designs and has tended to focus on reliability estimates rather than validity as an indicator of quality. A comprehensive framework of outcome criteria should be developed to allo...

Medical education departments: a study of four medical schools in Sub-Saharan Africa
Conclusions: The establishment of medical education departments in Sub-Saharan Africa is a strategy medical schools can employ to improve the quality of health professions education. The creation of communities of practice such as has been done by the MEPI project is a good way to expand the network of medical education departments in the region enabling the sharing of lessons learned across the continent.
