Missed out? Researchers of the Practicum Foundation, the Imperial College London and the University of Maastricht have published a paper on the solid theoretical grounding of Practicum Script. The paper, available in Medical Education, remarks as revolutionary features of our clinical reasoning simulator its solid foundation in the dual-process theory, the feedback for medical students combining experts’ opinions and evidence-based medicine, and the reinforcement of the individual self- training with clinical debriefings, using Practicum Mentoring. #MedicalEducation #PracticumScript Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME)

https://lnkd.in/efYY9MCY Research experience is immensely valuable in the education of aspiring doctors. It also gives medical students a way to demonstrate interest and skills that may not be well conveyed in their applications to residency programs. But as this article argues, it does not follow that the quantity of research experiences is a good way to evaluate them. Residency programs should focus more on the research experience quality- elements like the student's contribution to the work and the effect it had on their development as a doctor.

"Moving from attitudes to habitus enables further insight into how the structures of biomedicine shape medical students’ experience of their professional identity formation. Therefore, exploring how medical students negotiate their role in addressing the SDH addresses a critical gap in the medical education literature. Moreover, this exploration importantly seeks to attend to the ways that epistemic invulnerability, a feature of biomedical epistemology, shapes the medical student socialization process around the SDH. " What I find most striking in this article are the personal comments from the interviewed medical students. The authors focus on medical student unpreparedness for addressing social determinants of health but the subtext is that medical education and the medical establishment, for all of our discussions around #SDOH, is underprepared to educate them and make addressing SDOH a standard part of all clinical practice. Collectively, we have a long way to go and we need to prioritize the work to make #healthequity a realizable goal. #healthinequity #DEI #diversityequityinclusion #medicaleducation

Help Needed for Dissertation Research! I am still seeking participants to help me finish my dissertation research! Many thanks to those who have contributed and shared information about the project with medical students/residents in your network. The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand the racialized experiences of Black medical students who are HBCU alumni as they navigate undergraduate medical education at predominantly White medical schools.    For this study, I am recruiting medical students and early career residents who completed their undergraduate degree at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) and are attending/attended a predominantly White medical school. Participants must racially identify as Black, and they must have experience with both classroom and clinical clerkship curriculum in their medical training program (typically 3rd year and beyond).    Those selected for the research study will complete 2 virtual interviews and a brief demographic survey. The questions asked will center each participant's racial identification as well as any of their undergraduate and medical school experiences that may have been influenced by race. I would greatly appreciate it if you would share the attached flyer with Black medical students and residents in your network and invite them to learn more about this study at the link below: https://lnkd.in/gpqSb9Fx

How and Who and more about Integrating social determinants of health in medical education: a bibliometric analysis study Study published with my colleague David Onchonga, PhD. This type of study is not common in medical education despite the great benefits people can have from them. https://lnkd.in/eSHqZMxe #social_accountability_of_medical_education #medicaleducation

We continue to publish articles for a special issue on Simulation in higher education (vol. 6, special issue 1) of the Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching. JALT is a Scopus-indexed (Q1 in Scopus), open-access academic journal that neither charges its readers nor its authors. The special issue is guest edited by Profs Dr Jane Murray, Dr Alan Platt & Jaden Allan from #NorthumbriaUniversity: We are pleased to present a research article by Dr. Kevin Stirling, Dr Angela Roger & Prof Keith Topping: Does simulation in medical education enhance or inhibit the development of self-knowledge? Simulation has been widely adopted in medical education. Traditionally, the design of simulation activities was through a hierarchical approach where experts within a speciality contributed to the development of content and assessment processes. Whilst this has proved to be a somewhat reliable method, the effectiveness from the perspective of medical students has rarely been examined. The Ward Simulation Exercise was delivered in the final year of the undergraduate medical curriculum at the University of Dundee. It was designed to assess the capabilities of medical students to prioritise competing demands and work collaboratively within a simulated environment. Medical students were observed by two assessors (normally consultants), who determined whether the student had met the required standard to pass this assessment. This study examined whether the Ward Simulation Exercise enhanced or inhibited the development of medical students’ self-knowledge. This study presented a longitudinal analysis over five years, which examined the effect that the Ward Simulation Exercise had on the development of students’ self-knowledge. Medical professionals arguably need to be more inclusive of students in designing simulation activities and the associated assessment process. This could allow students to develop self-knowledge appropriate to their stage of professional development.

🎉 Exciting news! 📢 I've written an article sharing my experience as a medical student getting involved in research, and I believe it can help others on their own research journey. 🌟 In the article, I discuss how I sought out opportunities, connected with mentors, collaborated with diverse teams, and navigated the process of presenting and publishing my findings. It's packed with practical tips and insights to empower fellow medical students in their pursuit of research. Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/gtKyz_aN Feel free to share it with your peers and anyone interested in medical research. Let's inspire the next generation of medical researchers! 🤝💡 #MedicalResearch #MedicalStudents #ResearchJourney #EmpoweringStudents #healthcareadvancements #MindTheBleep

🚨 ⚠️ 📢 According to literature, around 75% of medical errors may have a cognitive origin. Conceptual knowledge deficits wouldn’t have a significant impact. However, acquiring thinking skills remains secondary in comparison with biomedical data and psychomotor abilities at medical schools. The clinical reasoning simulator Practicum Script landed in undergraduate education in 2019 to remediate this gap, and a multicentre large-scale pilot published in Medical Teacher has just proved that it is a valuable resource for medical students to develop their clinical reasoning skills and for teachers and institutional stakeholders to assess these competencies. The paper is open access! 👇 👀 📖 https://lnkd.in/dpquqSDW #ClinicalReasoning #MedStudents #MedEd

Value, Support, and Advancement: An Organization's Role in Faculty Career Intentions in Academic Medicine. I think the title alone of this journal article is very informative about where institutions of academic medicine can start when it comes to retaining their faculty. For those who need more words, this conclusion from the study is very telling - "Advancing organizational policy that supports infrastructure for evidence-based interventions and programming for the intentional career development of faculty is an important aspect of a proactive talent development and retention model in academic medical centers." I do recommend reading the whole thing as there are some enlightening insights from the analysis of the qualitative results. We may not know what we think we know about the particulars of what motivates engagement and retention among academic physicians. #HelpingHealersBeWell #SuccessWithSatisfaction #WorkplaceWellbeing #PhysicianWellbeing https://lnkd.in/enEr5CxW
