A New Pathway For Medical Education Reform Proposals
Physician education in the United States must change to meet the primary care needs of a rapidly transforming health care delivery system. Yet medical schools continue to produce a disproportionate number of hospital-based specialists through a high-cost, time-intensive educational model. In response, the American Osteopathic Association and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine established a blue-ribbon commission to recommend changes needed to prepare primary care physicians for the evolving system. The commission recommends that medical schools, in collaboration with their graduate medical educati...

Development and pilot testing of a novel education method for training medical interpreters
Conclusion: Posttest assessment showed that the developed training system can be useful in improving knowledge and quality in medical interpreting.Practice implications: A 3-day training program for medical interpreters could bridge the gap between medical professionals and patients with limited English proficiency while being amenable to integration into clinical flow.

In defence of utility: the medical humanities and medical education
The idea that a study of the humanities helps to humanise doctors has become a leitmotif within the field. It is argued that the humanities (especially, literature) help to foster insights beyond those provided by biomedical training. Healthy young medics, it is claimed, can thereby gain significant insights into patienthood, and obtain important skills that may be valuable for their professional life. But the instrumentality of the humanities is not the only justification proffered for its inclusion in medical curricula. In this paper I critically examine the two overarching justifications recurrently cited in the mainstr...

Addressing mental health issues in primary care: An initial curriculum for medical residents
Conclusion: Identifying specific curricula informs education policy-makers of the specific requirements they will need to meet if psychosocial and mental health training are to improve.Practice Implications: Training residents in mental health will lead to improved care for this very prevalent primary care population.

Patient understanding of medical jargon: A survey study of U.S. medical students
Conclusion: Students do not generally presume that patients understand medical jargon. In many cases they actually underestimate patients’ understanding, and these estimates may become more pessimistic longitudinally. Jargon use in communication with patients does not appear to stem from unrealistic presumptions about patients’ understanding or from desensitization to jargon during medical school.Practice implications: Training about patient knowledge of medical jargon may be a useful addition to communication skills curricula.

From nuclear submarines to graduate medical education: applying David Marquet ’s intent-based leadership model
AbstractL. David Marquet, a decorated Navy Captain, transformed an underperforming submarine crew by empowering his subordinates to be leaders and reach their full potential. He called this intent-based leadership (IBL). What would happen if Marquet ’s model were implemented in Graduate Medical Education (GME)?In this letter to the editor, we summarize the potential of the IBL model in graduate medical education as opposed to the traditional leader-follower method. IBL harnesses human productivity toward the shared goals of GME, which are patient care and trainee learning. This shift in mindset could lead both teachers a...

'Capable of being in uncertainties: applied medical humanities in undergraduate medical education
This article arises from a collaboration between Imperial College London and Birkbeck, University of London, which aimed to embed the humanities into Imperial’s undergraduate medical curriculum. Here, we use a teaching session on graphic medicine and narrative as a case study to illustrate how the humanities can be a powerful tool for students to explore professional clinical complexity and uncertainty when taught in a transdisciplinary way. In this session, uncertainty operated on several different levels: the introduction of unfamiliar concepts, materials, and methods to students, transdisciplinary approaches to te...

Narrative medicine as a means of training medical students toward residency competencies
Conclusion/Practice implications: Participating medical students reported that they perceived narrative medicine to be an important, effective, but counter-culture means of enhancing communication, collaboration, and professional development. The authors contend that these skills are integral to medical practice, consistent with core competencies mandated by the ACGME/RCPSC, and difficult to teach. Future research must explore sequelae of training on actual clinical performance.

Peer-assessment of medical communication skills: The impact of students’ personality, academic and social reputation on behavioural assessment
Conclusion: Peer-assessment cannot replace teacher-assessment if the assessment should result in high-stake decisions about students. Our data do not confirm the hypothesis that peers are overly biased by personality and reputation characteristics in peer-assessment of performance.Practice implications: Early introduction of peer-assessment in medical education would facilitate early acceptance of this mode of evaluation and would promote early on the habit of critical evaluation of professional clinical performance and acceptance of being evaluated critically by peers.

Learning to listen: Effects of using conversational transcripts to help medical students improve their use of open questions in soliciting patient problems
Conclusion: The ‘bottom-up’ approach facilitated by using conversation transcripts is effective in improving communication skills.Practice implications: By carefully reviewing transcripts of their own performance as part of an overall communication training package, beginning medical students can become more patient-centered in soliciting patient problems.

Development of a behaviour change communication tool for medical students: The ‘Tent Pegs’ booklet
Conclusion: BCTs within the Tent Pegs booklet are reliably allocated to corresponding behaviour change domains with the exception of those within the ‘empowering people to change’ domain.Practice implications: The existing evidence-base on BCTs can be used to directly inform development of a communication tool to support medical students facilitate health behaviour change with patients.
