With advancements in medical education, the integration of innovative and technology-driven teaching modalities is needed to enhance student learning, particularly in radiology. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of PACSBIN, a cloud-based picture archiving and communication system (PACS), in teaching first-year medical students thoracic…

Implementing competency based medical education (CBME) has generated enormous amounts of assessment data. To help residents synthesize and use these data, some programs have appointed academic advisors (AA) to 'coach over time'. This study explored how resident and faculty AA dyads perceived their relationship developing and evolving, and the…

Anatomy education in the undergraduate medical curriculum faces many competing interests, including the increasing demand for ultrasound learning. Instead of being treated as a separate subject, ultrasound can offer a unique lens to visualize anatomy without using cadaveric materials. This study used a randomized controlled design to compare…

The development of immersive virtual reality (IVR) hardware and software has accelerated in recent years. The conceptual vocabulary has, however, not received the same amount of attention, especially in the context of collaborative learning settings. Existing concepts such as immersion, presence and interactivity focus predominantly on the…

Anatomy is regarded as one of the most essential and challenging courses in veterinary medicine. The study evaluated the student perceptions of silicone and polyester-plastinated cattle brains in both face-to-face and online neuroanatomy education. A total of six cattle heads were collected from a slaughterhouse, processed using four plastination…

Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are widely used for assessment in medical education. While human-generated MCQs benefit from pedagogical insight, creating high-quality items is time intensive. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), tools like DeepSeek R1 offer potential for automated MCQ generation, though their educational validity…

Anatomy practical classes are an essential part of learning human anatomy. The flipped classroom teaching model has been used in medical education in recent years. However, its precise impacts on anatomical knowledge acquisition and learning outcomes remain controversial. With the development of information technology, new educational tools, such…

Clinical practice has benefited from new methodologies such as realistic simulation (RS). RS involves recreating lifelike scenarios to more accurately reflect real clinical practice, enhancing learners' skills and decision-making within controlled environments, and experiencing remarkable growth in medical education. However, RS requires…

Questioning is an important activity in teaching. In medical colleges, on-stage quiz competitions are appreciated by students as well as faculty as they are an engaging way to connect with the discipline. We organized the Physiology Quiz Competition to assess the concepts of functional mechanisms of various organ systems. It was an academic tool…

The effectiveness of implementing various audience response system (ARS) formats in large classes to engage students, positively influence academic outcomes, and align with their preferences for different types of activities lacked sufficient information. This study aimed to (1) evaluate students' perspectives on different ARS formats, including…

The relationship between ethical dispositions and scientific and academic ethics is important in understanding how individuals' general ethical values influence their behavior in the academic setting. Examining this relationship by considering personality, which is one of the important individual characteristics, will be useful in developing…

Unlike other aspects of Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) residency training, the research education curriculum and requirements are not standardized. It is unclear what constitutes core curricula in educational research programs, which components are most useful and efficacious, and how to use these findings to adapt existing programs. A…

This study aims to assess medical students' perception of the quality of the learning environment at Jimma University Medical Centre (JUMC), Ethiopia using the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM). A cross-sectional survey design was applied to assess students' perceptions during their clinical attachment wards in JUMC. The DREEM…

This report describes the Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) program's (1) purpose and structure, (2) history, and (3) authorizations and appropriations. It also provides select program data, including the number of hospitals supported under the program, their location, the amount of funding they receive, and the number of…

Healthcare professionals' statistical illiteracy can impair medical decision quality and compromise patient safety. Previous studies have documented clinicians' insufficient proficiency in statistics and a tendency in overconfidence. However, an underexplored aspect is clinicians' awareness of their lack of statistical knowledge that precludes any…
