Summary: This study found a significant moderate correlation between medical knowledge relevant to radiology practice and clinical productivity during radiology residency. Factors such as clinical productivity, gender of the radiology resident, and postgraduate year were independently associated with DRPT percentile scores. These findings suggest that clinical productivity of a resident could be a relevant metric in a radiology training program.

Summary: This study examines the validity and reliability of using Brown et al.'s Professional Identity Questionnaire (PIQ) to measure professional identity formation among medical students. The results suggest that the PIQ is a valid and reliable quantitative measure, with two factors reflecting attached and detached attitudes towards the medical profession. Educators may use the instrument for monitoring professional identity formation and curriculum design in medical education.

Summary: This study found that giving candidates high personal interview ratings during the medical school admission process is predictive of students being evaluated as top-rated internists after completing their 6th year internal medicine sub-internships. This demonstrates the value and importance of semi-structured personal interviews in the medical school admission process.

Summary: The study found an increasing prevalence of depression and stress among students during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among female students and those lacking job-related facilities or skills. Universities can provide mental health programs and aim to offer more opportunities for students to participate in internships. Collaboration between the government and educational institutions is needed to address this growing challenge.

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.

Summary: This study conducted interpretive phenomenological interviews with six general practice residents to explore their experiences in direct observation situations. The findings suggest that the "observer effect" is more significant than previously understood, making it impossible to observe residents' authentic behavior as if the supervisor was not there. This concept may frustrate residents and lead supervisors to neglect the needs of patients and residents in direct observation situations. The authors suggest replacing one-way direct observation with bi-directional direct observation in working-and-learning-together sessions.
