Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a temporary cessation of bedside teaching for medical students. Although bedside teaching has since resumed, to date, there have been no published data capturing the patient perspective of this teaching modality in the context of a pandemic. Methods: This study was conducted in the Acute Medicine Unit of a…

Collaboration between healthcare providers helps tackle the increasing complexity of healthcare. When learning teamwork, interprofessional students are expected to work patient-centered; recognizing the patient's expertise and partnering with them. Research on interprofessional education (IPE) for undergraduates has illuminated learning outcomes,…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how clinical instructors describe their preparedness of the QSEN patient safety competencies and subsequent experiential teaching strategies in pre-licensure registered nurse programs in the United States. The study was guided by D. A. Kolb's experiential learning theory and the…

New graduate nurses report critical hands-on skills are not taught in school and contribute to the increased stress they feel when managing a life-threatening patient condition (Bennett et al., 2017). In the United States, approximately 290,000 in-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually (Andersen et al., 2019). The current Bachelor of Science in…

Developing a sound ability of noticing is a crucial competency for both teachers and medical professionals in the respective professional and disciplinary communities. In this article, we investigate noticing in practice--how members of a professional community in the high-tech modern medicine specialty of Advanced Heart Failure use this ability…

This phenomenological study explored radiology clinical instructors' perceptions of their teaching and patient care duties in Houston metropolitan hospitals. The research had 10 participants, consisting of five male, and five female clinical instructors. The interviews from this research were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed for further…

Purpose: This paper aims to trace the relational and material ways in which workplace teams come together (or fail to) in the provision of patient care. Design/methodology/approach: Six interprofessional scholars brought their unique theoretical and disciplinary lenses to understand the contextualized experiences of the patient and the team.…

Standardized patients (SPs) are increasingly being used with students in the field of communication sciences and disorders (CSD). The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of SPs with CSD students. Challenges to the clinical education of students are described, and a call is made to expand the use of SPs to facilitate student learning of…

Background: The education of trainees in the intensive care unit (ICU) is extremely challenging due to factors related to the ICU environment, ICU trainees and physicians, ICU subspecialty training, and safety and quality of care delivered to critically ill patients. There is a lack of standardized educational curricula and instructional methods…

Bedside teaching encounters (BTEs) involve doctor-patient-student interactions, providing opportunities for students to learn with, from and about patients. How the differing concerns of patient care and student education are balanced in situ remains largely unknown and undefined. This video ethnographic study explores "patient…

Debriefing offers an opportunity to ensure that students can master critical components of nursing that they might not otherwise learn and to remove epistemological roadblocks to knowledge acquisition. Within this study, Debriefing for Meaningful Learning (DML), a theoretically-derived, evidence based and structured debriefing method, was used to…

Context: Athletic training programs blend didactic experiences with clinical practice opportunities with varied patient populations. Traditionally, clinical education relies heavily on the preceptor to supervise, instruct, and mentor the professional athletic training student (P-ATS) during clinical education. Objective: To describe a…

The field of clinical research has changed considerably in the past 20 years. As the work in this realm has come to embody far more than the pursuit of improved patient care, this has meant that staff supporting the research are asked to take on additional responsibilities, learn new processes, and be continuously educated on modernized policies…

Context: Clinical education experiences that actively engage students in patient care are important to the development of competent clinicians. It is important to assess athletic training students' time spent clinically and explore new technology that may facilitate more active learning during clinical education. Objective: To assess athletic…

The importance of team communication, or more specifically speaking up, for safeguarding quality of patient care is increasingly being endorsed in research findings. However, little is known about speaking up of clinical teachers in postgraduate medical training. In order to determine how clinical teachers demonstrate speaking up in formal…
