Performing Medical Education Research in Urology: Challenges and Opportunities
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandates educating resident physicians in evidence-based medicine (EBM) as a core program requirement. However, despite the significant emphasis placed on EBM, graduate medical education is far from evidence-based, and urology is a specialty where medical education research (MER) is particularly sparse. We want to articulate the challenges and opportunities with performing meaningful medical education research in urology training programs.Recent FindingsSome studies suggest that the rigor of MER could be much stronger. The nature of G...

Trends in urologic oncology clinical practice and medical education under COVID-19 pandemic: An international survey of senior clinical and academic urologists.
CONCLUSION: Under COVID-19, senior urologic-oncology surgeons worldwide apply risk-stratified approaches to timing of clinical and surgical schedules. Policies regarding trainee education were not significantly affected. We suggest establishment of an international consortium to create a directive for coping with such future challenges to global healthcare. PMID: 33036903 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Podcasting: A Roadmap to the Future of Medical Education
Summary: Podcasts, portable digital audio files that usually are listened to on a smartphone or MP3 player, have become a potent medium for medical education. Medical podcasting has become more sophisticated over the past decade as the producers of this material experiment and adapt the format. At the same time, production of podcasting has shifted from being a part of traditional medical educational venues such as journals and medical school curricula to organic digital education, individuals operating outside of, or parallel to, the traditional medical educational system.

Applying effective teaching and learning techniques to nephrology education
The interest in nephrology as a career has declined over the last several years. Some of the reasons cited for this decline include the complexity of the specialty, poor mentoring and inadequate teaching of nephrology from medical school through residency. The purpose of this article is to introduce the reader to advances in the science of adult learning, illustrate best teaching practices in medical education that can be extrapolated to nephrology and introduce the basic teaching methods that can be used on the wards, in clinics and in the classroom.

Best Approaches to Evaluation and Feedback in Post-Graduate Medical Education
The objectives of this literature review are to appraise current approaches and assess new technologies that have been utilized for evaluation and feedback of residents, with focus on surgical trainees.Recent FindingsIn 1999, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education introduced the Milestone system as a tool for summative evaluation. The organization allows individual program autonomy on how evaluation and feedback are performed. In the past, questionnaire evaluations and informal verbal feedback were employed. However, with the advent of technology, they have taken a different shape in the form of crowdsour...

Urology in Undergraduate Medical Education
The objective of this article is to review the current state of exposure to urology in medical school, to discuss why it is critical to maintain a urology curriculum, and to review methods in establishing an effective curriculum for all students with limited resources.Recent FindingsUME curriculum in urology should be geared toward the widest group of students, namely those entering primary care or internal medicine, where patients with urologic complaints are most likely to first present. Hands-on teaching should focus on skills such as the genitourinary exam and Foley catheter placement, while ancillary modules should be...

From Tweetstorm to Tweetorials: Threaded Tweets as a Tool for Medical Education and Knowledge Dissemination
Summary: Tweetorials are a form of threaded tweets that have emerged as a tool for medical education and knowledge dissemination. Making use of features not available in traditional formats, tweetorials offer novel opportunities for educators of all levels to engage with a potential audience of millions. Despite their increased use, questions remain about how best to create, post, and track the impact of individual tweetorials. In addition, uncertainties about how tweetorials fit into the portfolio of medical educators remain unanswered.

Quality Appraisal and Assurance Techniques for Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) Resources: A Rapid Review
Summary: Free open access medical education (FOAM) has disrupted traditional modes of knowledge translation and dissemination. These are popular resources with a wide educational reach. Nephrology has been a leader in FOAM, but many skeptics still question the accuracy and reliability of this content. Recently, quality-assurance techniques have been developed to address these concerns. These techniques may be helpful for readers to appraise the online literature and for institutions to reward the production of high-quality open educational resources.

Nephrology Education and Continuing Education in Resource-Limited Settings
Summary: Nephrology training programs in high-income countries have transitioned from an apprenticeship model to a well-structured, resource-driven model that supports continual professional development. In contrast, in low- and middle-income countries, medical training and in particular nephrology training has lagged behind owing to resource limitations. Some of the challenges to adequately provide training to health care professionals in low- and middle-income countries include shortage of teaching faculty, difficulty in developing curricula to meet regional needs, and a lack of resources to provide competency-based medical education.
