Summary: This study is a longitudinal qualitative study conducted from 2019 to 2020, involving 33 students from 4 medical schools in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States. The authors explored the construction of participating students' professional identity during LICs. Data collection involved three stages: individual, semi-structured interviews at entry (n = 33) and exit of the LIC (n = 29), and audio diaries throughout. The data were analyzed inductively using a reflexive thematic approach.

Summary: This integrative review examines student workload, outcomes of increased workload and cognitive load, and approaches to evaluate and reduce workload. Faculty and programs can address this issue through streamlining classroom content, reducing lecture time, and modifying preclass work. Given the increased standards of professional education accreditation and licensure requirements, cognitive load is complex and multifactorial, requiring an appropriate balance of instruction to ensure effective assessment.

Summary: Although parental involvement is important for students' school engagement and achievement, there is a lack of review work on the relationship between parental involvement and student engagement. Therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted to examine this topic from 2000-2022. The results showed that the majority of studies were conducted in the United States during the first decade, but there was an increase in publications during emergency remote teaching and China produced most of the publications. The studies varied in terms of conceptualization and measurement, but commonly measured parental involvement through school and home subtypes and student engagement through affective, behavioral, and cognitive dimensions.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the unmet needs in surgical education during the pre-clerkship years of medical school. A mixed-methods design was used, and the results indicated unanimous support for the creation of a pre-clerkship surgical skills course. Additionally, the study revealed the essential components of such a course. Further research is needed to design a curriculum based on these findings and assess its feasibility.

Summary: This study is a systematic literature review on the relationship between autonomy support and student engagement. The study found an increasing number of research on this topic in recent years, with a focus on the United States and Korea. Most studies recruited participants from upper secondary schools and used questionnaires for data collection. Structural equation models were commonly applied for data analysis. However, there is a lack of concrete autonomy-supportive teaching strategies in the studies. Therefore, more longitudinal studies on specific teaching strategies are needed to maximize student engagement.

Summary: This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of health professions faculty and students regarding climate change and health. Most respondents recognized the relevance of climate change to patient care and believed it should be integrated into curricula, but reported limited knowledge on the topic. Faculty expressed low confidence in teaching climate change and health concepts. The study highlights the importance of addressing barriers to integrating climate change and health into health professions curricula.

Summary: A 65-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities presented with sudden-onset imbalance while on a treadmill. Examination revealed ataxic gait without dysarthria or nystagmus, and imaging showed a small vermis infarct and an enlarged aortic pseudoaneurysm. Despite not being on anticoagulation, the patient continued aspirin due to the pseudoaneurysm's low risk of thrombus formation or embolism. Gait instability and vertigo are common signs of cerebellar infarction, while isolated lateropulsion may occur with vermis lesions.
