Medical cannabis: knowledge and expectations in a cohort of North Island New Zealand general practitioners.
CONCLUSION: Some GPs have concerns about prescribing medicinal cannabis. Due to regulatory restrictions, including no currently funded products, and uncertain scientific evidence of efficacy and safety, education programmes will be required to inform the medico-legal, evidential and practical elements of prescribing cannabis as a medicine.

The apprenticeship model of clinical medical education: time for structural change.
Authors: Rassie K
Abstract
The apprenticeship model, which forms the backbone of the current medical education system, has a strong historical precedent (and indeed multiple strengths). It is, however, important to acknowledge that its application to modern medicine is far from perfect, particularly with the breadth and complexity of current hospital systems. Demands on clinician resources, the sheer volume of knowledge our trainees must amass, short attachments and rigorous assessment schedules are all major challenges to a relatively simplistic educational system. Identifying and addressing these vulnerabilities ...

Doctors' travel in the Anthropocene
N Z Med J. 2022 May 20;135(1555):88-93.ABSTRACTThe health sector is uniquely placed as both a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and a first responder to the impacts of climate change. The breadth and complexity of the health sector mean that decarbonisation will be a substantial challenge to current practice. Doctors are leaders in the health system and in their communities, and there are multiple imperatives for doctors to lead on decarbonisation. Here we specifically examine the impact of travel undertaken by hospital-based senior doctors for the purpose of continuing medical education. Where quantified...

Improving the prescribing practice of junior doctors through interprofessional collaboration and evidence-based education
N Z Med J. 2021 Jun 4;134(1536):12-24.ABSTRACTThe last decade (2010-2019) has seen calls to action to improve the prescribing practice of junior doctors. An in-depth investigation into the causes of prescribing errors by foundation trainees in relation to their medical education (the EQUIP study) in the UK reported a prescription error rate of 8.9% for all prescribed medicines, and although that is a UK study, there are similarities with New Zealand prevocational training programmes. The EQUIP study revealed that existing teaching strategies are not working. To believe a single intervention will prevent most prescribing er...
