Summary: This perspective explores six key assumptions of a competency-based approach to medical-sciences education, as they relate to veterinary medical education. While available research does not unequivocally support all six assumptions, overall the potential benefits of adopting a competency-based approach seem promising for veterinary medical education.

Summary: The article presents an institutional collaboration recommendation system that can help institutions identify potential collaborators, determine and improve the research portfolio of an institution within a field, and ultimately enhance the institution's performance in that field. The framework is demonstrated through analyzing the performance of 195 Indian institutions in the field of 'Computer Science', and validation shows it has sufficient coverage and can provide novel and diverse recommendations.

Summary: Through consensus methods, 89 resident-sensitive quality measures (RSQMs) were developed for a general internal medicine inpatient service, covering specific clinical conditions and general care. While all RSQMs were process measures, they may still hold value in learner assessment, formative feedback, and program evaluation.

Summary: Assessing residents and clinical fellows is a critical activity in medical education, and the importance of effective assessment methods is emphasized in competency-based medical education. The Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) serves as a key structure in graduate medical education, aiming to individualize education, determine readiness for independent practice, and foster self-assessment ability. Strengthening assessment tools and frameworks is crucial for realizing the potential of competency-based education.

Summary: Graduate medical education and Clinical Competency Committees are using competency-based medical education principles to monitor trainee progression, but evidence suggests that CCCs are not meeting this goal effectively. Challenges include incomplete and conflicting evaluation data, as well as difficulties organizing, analyzing, and integrating data elements. Learning analytics have the potential to improve CCC decision making, but their use is not widespread.

Summary: Changes in the educational landscape and accreditation requirements necessitate an evaluation of current teaching practices in graduate nursing education. The popularity of online platforms has increased, with a majority of post-baccalaureate students taking at least one online course. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) approved new competency-based education standards that apply to both online and face-to-face courses, requiring intentional course design to meet these requirements.

Summary: This manuscript addresses the lack of information on master's programs in the pharmaceutical sciences by reporting the results of an international survey conducted in 2021. The survey found that master's programs in Asia and Europe are larger in scale compared to those in North America, with North American programs having more international students. The predominant career path for graduates of Asian programs is the pharmaceutical industry, while a higher percentage of graduates from Europe, Africa, and North America enter Ph.D. programs. Funding for faculty and graduate students is identified as a major challenge for these programs.

Summary: Hospice and palliative medicine is a recognized fellowship subspecialty available to graduates of physical medicine and rehabilitation residency programs, sharing many principles and practices with physical medicine and rehabilitation. However, there is currently no requirement for hospice and palliative medicine training during physical medicine and rehabilitation residency, leading to potential limited exposure and education in this area for residents.

Summary: The study compared three methods of delivering ultrasound knobology content to first-year veterinary students, with self-directed learning showing significantly higher short-term and long-term knowledge acquisition and retention compared to in-person demonstration and online module instruction. Therefore, self-directed learning methods are recommended for teaching ultrasonography to veterinary students.

Summary: This study investigates why veterinary clinicians leave clinical practice and found that a combination of personal and work-related factors influenced their decisions. Factors such as personal relationships, remuneration, workplace relationships, and negative clinical outcomes played a significant role in their decision-making process. More research is needed to fully understand the implications and develop intervention strategies for retention in veterinary clinical practice.

Summary: The study found that personal resources were more influential in developing veterinarian resilience than career stage, gender, or region of work. Higher self-efficacy, stronger personal resources for resilience in veterinary practice, and specific coping strategies were related to higher resilience levels. Intention to leave veterinary practice was also associated with lower resilience in mid- and late-career veterinarians.

Summary: This prospective cohort design study aimed to determine whether preclinical veterinary students in a curriculum with sequential phantom training sessions acquire better-quality ultrasound images of kidneys in live canines compared with students in a curriculum without such training sessions. The findings suggest that further studies with more sensitive evaluation tools and serial evaluation of students may be beneficial in monitoring student competency and evaluating the role of phantoms in ultrasound training in the veterinary curriculum.

Summary: Veterinarians often face ethical decisions and potential moral conflicts in clinical practice. The process of ethical decision-making can lead to a satisfying resolution, but when there is a perceived inability to act according to personal values, it can result in psychological distress known as moral distress. This qualitative study explores veterinary clinicians' experiences with moral distress and aims to explain the moral deliberation pathway in these professionals.
