A method for assessing student ability to apply anatomical knowledge within a traditional anatomy laboratory examination
We describe here our method for measuring student success in learning human anatomy in this manner, highlighting the direct linkage between the learning activities and the assessment tasks. We describe our performance scoring method and how we include this data in the calculation of an anatomy examination grade. As an indicator of our success with this approach, we include performance scores for the applied anatomy questions included on the laboratory component of our unit examinations for two successive academic years. We conclude with summary comments from students regarding the applied anatomy learning activities and as...

Understanding therapeutic radiographers ’ confidence in assessing, managing & teaching radiation induced skin reactions (RISR): A national survey in the UK
The standard toxicity tools adopted for assessing Radiation Induced Skin Reactions (RISR) do not currently reflect how skin changes occur across all skin tones.A one size fits all approach is adopted currently for RISR assessment. The aim of this study was to understand what evidence-based practice and RISR tools are being used across the therapeutic radiography workforce and the levels of confidence in using these tools.

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 536: How Do Healthcare Professionals Develop the Communication Process to Promote Patients & rsquo; Health Literacy?
This study aimed to analyze the communication process of healthcare professionals for the promotion of health literacy. It is a qualitative study that utilized individual online interviews with 46 healthcare professionals working in Brazil. The thematic content analysis technique proposed by Bardin was employed, and Atlas Ti software assisted in the assessment and interpretation of the texts. Content categorization revealed 26 sub-themes, and the coding of these identified nine themes and three categories. The communication process in health literacy education was composed of a set of interdependent and interrelated variab...

Occupational patterns of opioid-related harms comparing a cohort of formerly injured workers to the general population in Ontario, Canada
CONCLUSION: Findings support the hypothesis that work-related injuries have a role as a preventable risk factor for opioid-related harms. Strategies aimed at primary prevention of occupational injuries and secondary prevention of work disability and long-term opioid use are warranted.PMID:38658439 | DOI:10.17269/s41997-024-00882-w (Source: Canadian Journal of Public Health)

Teaching the tutors: use of an OSTE to train medical students to be peer tutors
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Jun 1;48(2):368-377. doi: 10.1152/advan.00007.2024.ABSTRACTFirst-year medical students are often challenged by the rapid pace and large volume of content that must be learned. Peer teaching has emerged as a supportive educational strategy. However, the most effective strategies for training peer tutors (PTs) for their role are not known. This paper examines the use of an Objective Structured Teaching Exercise (OSTE) to augment PT training sessions. Applying deliberate practice as a conceptual framework, an OSTE was used to provide tutors with an opportunity to practice their skills and receive feedba...
