Summary: Medical students tend to focus more on positive aspects when providing feedback to clinical faculty, while using hedging language for suggestions. Asking students to name-names midway through the academic year increased the specificity of feedback, indicating a willingness to provide more direct feedback.

Summary: This study found that medical students' attitudes towards feedback from preceptors may change during the third year of medical school and are influenced by identity-related factors. Impostor syndrome and identification with the profession are key factors in determining feedback orientation. These findings have implications for improving medical students' attitudes towards feedback.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate how clinical teachers' leadership behaviors can impact students' perception of psychological safety in the clinical learning environment. The findings showed that factors such as building good relationships, emphasizing learning, setting clear expectations, granting autonomy, and providing frequent feedback contribute to promoting psychological safety. On the other hand, educator disinterest in students, dismissal of questions, lack of autonomy, and unclear expectations were reported as destructive of psychological safety. The presence of psychological safety increases students' sense of belonging, self-efficacy, and engagement.

Summary: This study compares the effectiveness of near-peer and faculty facilitators in teaching history of present illness (HPI) documentation skills. The results show that near-peer facilitators were as effective as faculty facilitators in encouraging participation and achieving the goals of the session. Additionally, utilizing near-peers as facilitators not only provided teaching experiences for residents but also increased the pool of available facilitators.

Summary: Medical students play an important role in education and should receive formal teaching skills training. Existing curricula are usually optional short courses that cover topics such as planning and delivering learning activities and providing feedback. Students prefer interactive and experiential learning modalities and direct observation and feedback are valued assessment methods.

Summary: This study investigated the preferences and perceptions of EFL medical students regarding teacher written corrective feedback (WCF) on their academic writing. The findings revealed that students preferred WCF related to writing structure over content and mechanics, and also favored direct feedback over indirect feedback for both content and structure. The study highlights the importance of considering learner-specific preferences when providing feedback.

Summary: A new quality management initiative for radiological examinations in an intensive care unit was found to significantly reduce the occurrence of imaging-related errors, particularly report-related events. The study concludes that multidisciplinary conferences may be a suitable approach for timely identification of imaging-related errors.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the motivation of medical students to be part of health teams to aid in the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings suggest that medical students are more motivated by a sense of purpose or duty, altruism, perception of good performance and values of professionalism than by their interest in learning. These results have implications for the development of volunteering programs and the design of health force policies in the present pandemic and in future health emergencies.

Summary: This study used a mixed methods design to investigate the data gathering patterns of final year medical students using eCREST. Three main strategies of data gathering were identified: Thorough, Focused, and Succinct, with some students having no specific strategy. Qualitative data suggested that eCREST promoted thoroughness by continuously prompting students to reflect and manage uncertainty. Trial results showed that students in the intervention group displayed more Thorough data gathering patterns and less Succinct patterns compared to control groups.

Summary: This study aimed to explore influences on medical student feedback behavior during clinical attachments. Through focus group discussions with 46 medical students, three key determinants of student feedback behavior were identified: environmental influences, student attributes, and relationships between teachers and students. The study applied Bandura's model of Triadic Reciprocal Causation within Social Cognitive Theory and extended the model by situating student-teacher relationships as a central factor.

Summary: This study aimed to compare patient feedback and clinical tutors' feedback in the context of undergraduate medical education. The results showed a weak but significant positive correlation between patient and tutor assessments in most areas, except for respect and concern. Patient ratings had a greater impact on overall assessment, particularly in the areas of respect, concern, communication, and understanding.

Summary: Despite the belief among most physicians that active surveillance is an appropriate management option for thyroid cancer, only a minority of them actually use it in their practice. Barriers reported by physicians include patient resistance, concerns about loss to follow-up, patient anxiety, and worries about medical malpractice lawsuits. Addressing these barriers is crucial for improving the uptake of active surveillance.

Summary: The study demonstrates the value of implementing specialty-specific interprofessional curriculum during residency preparation courses for senior students in improving their perceptions of interprofessional roles. Post-surveys showed improvement in self-reported ability in understanding and collaborating with interprofessional teams, while follow-up surveys indicated that clinical experiences were slightly-to-moderately useful and the paging curriculum was rated very-to-extremely useful.

Summary: The study found that there were differences in medical students' comfort levels with educational handovers, with a response rate of 40.4%. Over half of the students felt comfortable with handovers, and those who received a handover letter had a more positive perception of this communication method. In order to improve the education continuum, it is crucial to engage students in the development of educational handovers.

Summary: There is no significant difference in adverse respiratory events between intubated, critically ill patients requiring operative intervention who are kept NPO for 6 hours or longer compared to those kept NPO for less than 6 hours. Patients commonly experience periods of fasting much longer than the recommended 6-hour period by the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

Summary: Introduction: Prescription opioids, including those prescribed after surgery, have greatly contributed to the US opioid epidemic. Educating opioid prescribers is a crucial component of ensuring the safe use of opioids among surgical patients. This study implemented an annual education curriculum for new surgical prescribers, resulting in significant improvements in knowledge and comfort levels. However, there remains a persistent knowledge and comfort gap among these prescribers.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of using humanized anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibodies conjugated with near-infrared dyes to specifically label gastric cancers in mouse models. Orthotopic models showed bright and specific labeling with more than ten times higher tumor-to-background ratios compared to the control. This tumor-specific fluorescent antibody has promising potential as a clinical tool for improving visualization of gastric cancer margins during surgical resection.

Summary: This scoping review analyzed the literature on the use of broadband personality tests in the bariatric surgical population to optimize weight loss outcomes. The study found significant associations between personality scales and weight loss, but inconsistent reporting of outcome measures made it challenging to draw concrete conclusions. The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery recommends standardization of outcome reporting to improve the reliability of predicting weight loss outcomes.
