CU Medicine reaches its record high in Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2024 by subject: clinical and health. It ranks 37th globally, from 44th in the previous year, being one of the youngest medical schools among the top 40 in the world. Professor Francis CHAN, Dean of Medicine at CUHK, said, "In the short span of 40 years since its establishment, CU Medicine has gained international recognition in the areas of medical education, scientific research, translational achievements and international outlook, and is one of the youngest medical schools among the world's top 40. This is attributable to the solid foundation laid by our predecessors, the tireless efforts of our faculty members, students, staff and the strong support of our alumni as well as various sectors in the community. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to them. Looking ahead, CU Medicine is well-prepared to take up the challenges by integrating AI into medical education to enhance the learning experience of our students and to nurture medical professionals to meet the increasing demands of the healthcare system. At the same time, we will continue to be at the forefront of medical innovation, and strive to develop the most advanced and forward-looking medicines and equipment for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases. Our ultimate goal, and our mission, is to protect every life and contribute to the health of the humankind."

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)

The pace of medical education publications continues to accelerate, with ~4000 articles published in 2020 compared to 700 in 2000 (Maggio 2023). Despite the growing literature base, there is no accurate way to specifically search the field of medical education. Today we present MedEdMENTOR's medical education search tool, which utilizes concepts in information retrieval to provide a simple and accurate search for medical education researchers. Read our post to find out why PubMed's MeSH filter is leading you astray, how Google Scholar biases your results, and how MedEdMENTOR fits into the conversation: https://lnkd.in/eS9snrNB In a landscape of massive but unfocused research databases, MedEdMENTOR aims to cut through the noise and provide targeted, relevant resources for medical education research. Start your focused research journey today with MedEdMENTOR's new Literature Search feature. Just use the search bar at the top of MedEdMENTOR to get started!

"For a medical student with nascent research skills and a full-time core curriculum, a goal of 25 publications and presentations in the 3 years between matriculation and residency application is clearly untenable -- and frankly impossible." [quoted from the article] This is an insightful read. I've been saying it for years. This is happening not just in the US but across the globe -- including Low Middle Income Countries where young doctors-to-be are hell bent on propping their CVs with numbers/quantity (of research papers) without paying much heed to the quality of the work nor on developing a theme to it. It adds to questionable data "polluting" medical literature (as the article mentions). #MedicalResearch #MedicalSchoolResearch #MedicalStudentResearch #GIGO #QuantityOverQuality

🚨 ⚠️ 📢 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

Problem-Based Learning in Medical Education: A Global Research Landscape of the Last Ten Years (2013–2022) https://lnkd.in/ecUqkjDF Background Problem-based learning (PBL) constructs a curriculum that merges theory and practice by employing clinical scenarios or real-world problems. Originally designed for the pre-clinical phase of undergraduate medicine, PBL has since been integrated into diverse aspects of medical education. Therefore, this study aims to map the global scientific landscape related to PBL in medical education in the last ten years... Conclusions Our study provides an overview of the last ten years of publications related to PBL and medical education, and we hope it can be of interest to educators, researchers, and students involved with this subject.

In response to the need to address and train medical school educators with regards to students’ academic integrity, Kelsey Bowen, our Manager of Student Support at Ross University School of Medicine, spearheaded the development of an educational small group discussion session at AMEE, The International Association for Health Professional Education Conference earlier this year, in a session entitled: “Addressing Academic Integrity: An Educational Approach to Address Complicity in Medical Education Integrity Breaches", increasing students’ personal responsibility to stop and/or report academic integrity concerns they witness. The purpose of the session was the debrief the incident, identify their level of responsibility, and create a plan to ensure future success.   “The increased use of hybrid and remote based learning activities has changed the dynamics of how we must ensure academic integrity amongst all students”, cited Ms. Bowen. This environment allowed Ross University School of Medline to pilot an innovative method of addressing student professionalism and accountability in the face of academic integrity complicity, which we were able to highlight at AMEE. Qualitative data showed students grew in their personal responsibility and response to academic integrity concerns. Here is one of many similar student reflections: If you see something, say something. Just because one was not involved, does not mean they are not responsible since it can possibly affect you as a university and future residency.” At Ross University School of Medicine, we are excited to use this model to address other areas for growth in our students, with the goal of guiding our students’ development into competent, ethical medical professionals. Just another stellar example of strong academics at Ross University School of Medicine! #rossmed.
