Summary: This study aimed to develop a scale to assess the global competence of medical students in China. A three-factor scale was identified and found to have good internal consistency. Factors such as stage of medical education, frequency of communicating with foreigners, multilingual ability, and grade level were found to influence the global competence of medical students.

Summary: The cultural competence training needs of Dutch physician assistant (PA) students and alumni were assessed, revealing differences in cultural competency between the two groups. Knowledge, attitude, skills, and self-perceived overall cultural competence were evaluated, showing moderate cultural competence behavior in both groups. However, there was a lack of knowledge and exploration of patients' social context. PA alumni had higher self-perceived cultural competence compared to students. The majority of respondents considered cultural competence important and expressed a need for training.

Summary: This article presents a theoretical model for using standardized patient programs (SPPs) to support equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in health sciences training. The authors conducted a narrative review of the literature to outline approaches to EDI-based SPPs and identified three primary themes: improving cultural competence, effective communication with diverse patients, and highlighting health inequalities. However, further research is needed to provide evidence for the challenges, effectiveness, and outcomes of EDI-based SPPs in health sciences education.

Summary: This study focused on the content and knowledge of cultural competence and intercultural communication in higher education in nursing. It found that undergraduate nursing courses and postgraduate education are moving towards promoting cultural competence and sensitivity through teaching strategies. Teaching projects that combine multiple competencies, including teacher training, are more effective, highlighting the need for continuous and transversal projects.

Summary: The focus of diagnostic radiology training is on creating competent professionals, but the importance of confidence and its calibration is often overlooked. Appropriate confidence is crucial in patient care, as both overconfidence and underconfidence can have negative effects. Increasing competence, understanding metacognitive processes, and implementing systems can help calibrate confidence levels. Matching trainee confidence and competence should be a goal in radiology training to mitigate the adverse effects of overconfidence and underconfidence.

Summary: This study explored cultural competence and its related factors among nurse practitioners (NPs). The results showed that NPs had above-average cultural competence, and years of experience as a NP had a significant correlation with overall clinical competence. There were significant differences in clinical awareness and cultural sensitivity related to the clinical ladder system. These findings provide information for designing in-service educational programs to enhance cultural competence and nursing quality among NPs.

Summary: This paper proposes definitions of fairness in machine learning and artificial intelligence systems that are influenced by the intersectionality framework. The authors demonstrate that their criteria behave sensibly for different subsets of protected attributes and provide economic, privacy, and generalization guarantees. They also present learning algorithms for deterministic and stochastic gradient methods that respect their intersectional fairness criteria.
