Melissa S. Zolnierz; George Kalu; Morgan McBride; Keanna Theobalt; Miles Turk – HAPS Educator, 2024
Surgeons and anesthesiologists use tumescent fluid to aid in the effectiveness of procedures. Injecting fluid to aid novice dissectors in improving speed, ease, and ability to distinguish planes has recently been proposed in the literature. In our study, we quantified dissections performed by first-year medical students after injecting fluid into…

Kelly Laas; Christine Z. Miller; Eric M. Brey; Elisabeth Hildt – Research Ethics, 2025
Student researchers encounter ethical issues daily, but little is known about their unique perspectives. This article presents the results of 30 qualitative semi-structured interviews exploring students' views and experiences around ethical issues in research groups. During the interviews, students were asked to describe challenges and successes…
