Summary: This paper presents a contactless monitoring and classification system for human activities and sleeping postures in bed using radio signals. The system utilizes received signal strength indicator (RSSI) signals collected from one wireless link to monitor and classify different activities and sleep postures, such as no one in the bed, a man sitting on the bed, sleeping on his back, seizure sleeping, and sleeping on his side. The system achieves high accuracy in real-time monitoring and classification, providing valuable support for caregivers, physicians, and medical staff.

Summary: New public management ideals and standards are increasingly followed in health professions education, particularly in high-stakes assessment for practice. This study used an Institutional Ethnographic approach to examine the work involved in running high-stakes Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs). The results reveal three types of work - standardising work, defensibility work, and accountability work - and highlight the shift towards accountability-centred practices.

Summary: The use of primary literature is effective in exposing students to the research process, but can be intimidating. The CREATE method is a structured teaching strategy that allows students to analyze primary literature and has been shown to improve attitudes and understanding of science. In a chemistry course, implementing the CREATE method increased student knowledge and confidence in engaging with scientific literature.

Summary: The information systems supporting clinical care and health professions education have evolved separately, leading to a digital divide that hinders practitioners and organizations. To address this, we propose enhancing existing health information systems to intentionally facilitate learning. We present three frameworks for learning that can guide the evolution of healthcare information systems to better support education.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between educational competencies in vascular surgery and patient care outcomes. Through a series of surveys and discussions, the conceptual alignment between educational competencies and patient care outcomes across different clinical registries was determined. The study found that systems-based practice competencies had a high level of relevance to patient outcomes, while practice-based learning and improvement and professionalism competencies had lower relevance to patient outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the potential for generating early predictors of final Milestone ratings in professionalism and interpersonal and communication skills. It found that as many as 1 in 4 vascular surgery trainees did not achieve the ACGME Milestone targets in these competencies. Therefore, early assessment ratings can be used to predict achievement of competency targets at the time of graduation, allowing programs to address potential deficits early in training.

Summary: One criticism of published curricula addressing implicit bias is that few achieve skill development in implicit bias recognition and management (IBRM). To inform the development of skills-based curricula addressing IBRM, a scoping review of the literature was conducted to identify interventions focused on IBRM in professions related to social determinants of health. The review included 51 full-text articles with over 6568 learners and provided tangible examples of curricula to complement existing frameworks and opportunities for further research in innovative skills-based instruction and learner assessment.

Summary: This study investigated the association between resident Milestone ratings and posttraining patient complaints. The results showed that trainees with low Milestone ratings near the end of residency were at increased risk for patient complaints in their early posttraining independent physician practice. Therefore, evaluating trainee performance in graduate medical education training programs and providing support for those with lower ratings is crucial.

Summary: This article proposes a multilayered conceptualisation of medical competence, including a core layer of canonical knowledge and skill, context-dependent knowledge, skill, and attitude, and personalised competence. The assessment methods for each layer are different, with standardized tests for canonical knowledge and skills, merged multiple sources of information for context-dependent competence, and recognition and reward for personal excellence.
