Progress tests (PT) are a popular type of longitudinal assessment used for evaluating clinical knowledge retention and long-life learning in health professions education. Most PTs consist of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) whose development is costly and time-consuming. Automatic Item Generation (AIG) generates test items through algorithms,…

Trunk anatomy education is critical in the training of the surgeon. Most trunk anatomy education systems use a personal or synthetic anatomical model. It remains difficult to obtain appropriate population anatomy information and create individualized anatomy customization based on a quantity of diverse data. Furthermore, the naked-eye virtual…

Diving into the realm of game-based learning, the "CARBGAME" (CARd & Board GAmes in Medical Education) is an innovative series of games that reimagines the way medical students learn complex but essential chapters. In the pilot study, there was a highly significant improvement in the academic performance of students in the chapter…

Despite the importance of sexual well-being in overall health, health providers do not communicate with their patients about sexual health sufficiently and highlight their discomfort with the topic as one key barrier. This study tested the effectiveness of a brief reflective sexual health workshop as an online intervention to increase comfort in…

This study contributes evidence on the impact of developmental advising using a national sample of students in the undergraduate clinical medicine program in China (n = 122,932). Using a combination of instrumental variable regression and structural equation modeling, the study explored beyond low-touch informative intervention and fully presented…

Human dissections in the current medical curriculum are conducted using a checklist approach to prioritize the exposure of anatomical structures. In this setting, anatomy educators are labored to enhance their engagement during the dissection. To address this issue, we considered the current medical education pedagogies and identified a novel…

Between 2018-2021, eight European medical schools took part in a study to develop a medical knowledge Online Adaptive International Progress Test. Here we discuss participants' self-perception to evaluate the acceptability of adaptive vs non-adaptive testing. Study participants, students from across Europe at all stages of undergraduate medical…

Purpose: Professional Identity Formation is the dynamic evolution to "think, act and feel" to become part of a professional community. This document presents the development and the study that aimed to assess the usability of a m-Learning Identity App (MLIA) focused on the formation of professional identity among undergraduate medical…

Over the past decade, there have been fewer pediatric residents applying to pediatric endocrine fellowship. One possible contributor to this trend is a lack of exposure to pediatric endocrinology outpatient work while in residency. The aim of this narrative review is to describe a single center medical education experience to create a standardized…

The integrated curriculum was recently introduced to the foundation medical education in Chinese medical schools. In this context, Wuhan University has offered two integrated courses, ie., Cell, Molecule and Genes (CMG) and Tissue and Function (TF). The purpose of this paper is to unfold problems in the design and implementation of integrated…

Anatomy education employs diverse teaching techniques worldwide, causing debates over the effectiveness of traditional versus newer methods. This study sought to investigate medical students' preferences for teaching methods in their institutions and provide recommendations for an optimal anatomy education model. In this cross-sectional study, all…

Recently, a new digital clinical reasoning test (DCRT) was developed to evaluate students' clinical-reasoning skills. Although an assessment tool may be soundly constructed, it may still prove inadequate in practice by failing to function as intended. Therefore, more insight is needed into the effects of the DCRT in practice. Individual…

Traditional didactic teaching methods in medical education, while foundational, often lead to passive learning and insufficient engagement. "Pancreata--The Keto Struggle," an educational tale-based game for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), was developed to address these challenges by promoting collaborative learning, enhancing student…

To enhance the effectiveness of integrating online and offline teaching, 1545 clinical and preventive medicine students from 2019 to 2021 were randomly allocated to two groups, A and B. The curriculum was divided into two segments. Initially, two groups were established for the first segment, covering an introduction to Biomolecular and Material…
