Aiming for Better Medical Education in Africa
Improving healthcare standards in developing countries does not simply mean enhanced access to medicines. Often medical education systems are not fit for purpose, and inherent problems with infrastructure, communication, and facilities in remote areas, in particular, mean that modernization of medicine is next to impossible. The African Institute for Medical Education (AIM) is a CPA-audited 501 c.3. organization registered in the US in 2014, and its goal is exceptionally admirable – to educate nurses, midwives and other medical professionals by visiting the most remote villages in Uganda by delivering “the most advance...

Compassionate care: Enhancing physician–patient communication and education in dermatology: Part II: Patient education
Patient education is a fundamental part of caring for patients. A practice gap exists, where patients want more information, while health care providers are limited by time constraints or difficulty helping patients understand or remember. To provide patient-centered care, it is important to assess the needs and goals, health beliefs, and health literacy of each patient. This allows health care providers to individualize education for patients. The use of techniques, such as gaining attention, providing clear and memorable explanations, and assessing understanding through “teach-back,” can improve patient education. Ve...

A structured approach to Shared Decision Making training and assessment of knowledge, attitudes and perception of second year medical students
Med Educ Online. 2022 Dec;27(1):2044279. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2022.2044279.ABSTRACTShared decision making (SDM) has been acknowledged in the last decade. Literature has shown that when physicians are engaged in SDM and form a relationship with their patients, there is higher patient satisfaction of care. Moreover, SDM has been reported to improve patient outcomes and clinical measures. Despite this clear benefit of implementing SDM into clinical practice, there is little evidence for including SDM learning into preclinical medical education. We integrated an exercise for second year medical students to practice the steps ...

The Medical Education Partnership Initiative: Strengthening Human Resources to End AIDS and Improve Health in Africa
Faced with a critical shortage of physicians in Africa, which hampered the efforts of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) was established in 2010 to increase the number of medical graduates, the quality of their education, and their retention in Africa. To summarize the accomplishments of the initiative, lessons learned, and remaining challenges, the authors conducted a narrative review of MEPI—from the perspectives of the U.S. government funding agencies and implementing agencies—by reviewing reports from grantee institutions and conductin...

BASHH annual conference
Conferences organised by medical societies are an important calendar event of the academic, professional and social lives of medical specialties. It is estimated that globally there are more than 10 000 medical meetings per year.1 Accessing continuing medical education has become more challenging due to significant time and financial pressures on clinicians and scientists. Moreover, there are some serious arguments for not holding scientific conferences: the carbon footprint of holding such events (eg, the 2007 American Thoracic Society conference in San Diego generated an estimated 10 779 tonnes of carbon from a...

Classic versus millennial medical lab anatomy
This study investigated the integration, implementation, and use of cadaver dissection, hospital radiology modalities, surgical tools, and AV technology during a 12‐week contemporary anatomy course suggesting a millennial laboratory. The teaching of anatomy has undergone the greatest fluctuation of any of the basic sciences during the past 100 years in order to make room for the meteoric rise in molecular sciences. Classically, anatomy consisted of a 2‐year methodical, horizontal, anatomy course; anatomy has now morphed into a 12‐week accelerated course in a vertical curriculum, at most institutions. Surface and radi...

Revisiting an old strategy: cartoons in medical education.
Authors: Mediouni M, Schlatterer DR, Khoury A Abstract Medical education is an arduous process with widespread study of very complex information across diverse subjects. The use of medical illustrations in schematic or cartoon-like appearances is an old method of conveying intricate information. They are relatively absent in medical classrooms today. The purpose of this study was to survey members of a medical university, students and teachers regarding their opinions of medical cartoons. Most respondents had favourable opinions of cartoons in medical education. More research is required to conclude what parameters...

Medical English Education in Japan  : Developing a Curriculum to Motivate Students by Providing Visualization Opportunities Using Near-peer Teaching
J Med Invest. 2022;69(3.4):332-334. doi: 10.2152/jmi.69.332.ABSTRACTDespite advancements in the pedagogy of medical education in various fields, Japan has no standardized medical English education. The U.S. Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Study Group of Tokushima is an extracurricular activity in which medical students and recent graduates meet every 1-2 months. The aim is to stimulate students' curiosity ; cultivate their initiative, self-efficacy, and English learning goals ; and motivate them to be self-regulated learners. Accordingly, we conducted near-peer teaching style lectures that focused on sharing medical ...
