Summary: This study aimed to explore learning activities and influencing factors in intraprofessional workplace learning by residents in complex tertiary care. It found that residents often lacked deliberate attention to intraprofessional learning in clinical practice. Influencing factors at the macro, meso, and micro level determined the presence and utilization of intraprofessional learning opportunities.

Summary: This study aimed to gain insight into the processes of intraprofessional workplace learning among residents in residency training, by exploring everyday interactions between residents from different medical specialties. Through observations and interviews, it was found that residents are actively engaged in numerous intraprofessional interactions, with key themes including residents' agency, ingroups and outgroups, and communication about intraprofessional collaboration. The role of the resident-supervisor dyad was emphasized in facilitating residents' engagement in learning opportunities for complex intraprofessional care. Promoting deliberate practice and shared responsibility in collaborative care were proposed as crucial for better preparing residents for their roles in delivering high-quality collaborative patient care.

Summary: Internal medicine residents working in hospitals without nocturnists reported more barriers to accessing supervising physicians overnight compared to those in hospitals with nocturnists. The presence of nocturnists is associated with fewer reported barriers to contacting supervising physicians overnight. Organizational culture, work schedules, desire for independence, interpersonal interactions, and technology may present important barriers.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the guiding role of nurses in residents' workplace learning and explore the perceptions and reasons of residents and nurses regarding this role. The results showed that nurses provided more support and guidance in learning from patient care compared to the perceptions of residents. Additionally, nurses indicated that attending physicians did not always involve them in guiding residents, while residents perceived nurses to be involved.

Summary: The study investigated person-to-person contacts and hand hygiene in office-based workplaces using two different sensors. It found that face-to-face contacts and proximity contacts have different characteristics, and there are differences in interactions between supervisors and non-supervisors. The study demonstrates the feasibility of implementing sensor technologies in offices to track interactions and behaviors, providing new insights into real-world social networks and hygiene practices.

Summary: This paper highlights the importance of grounding interprofessional education in learning theory, with a focus on the concepts of knowledgeability and identification from the landscapes of practice framework. By utilizing modes of identification such as engagement, imagination, and alignment in IPE-design, students can develop skills for interprofessional collaboration and a deep understanding of their roles in practice. Ultimately, this approach prepares students for successful collaboration in healthcare settings.

Summary: In low- and middle-income countries, medical educators are in high demand but often lack necessary support for professional development. This study investigated the long-term impact of an international faculty development program in Vietnam and found that without supporting discursive, material-economic, and socio-political arrangements, change in medical education practice will not be sustained.

Summary: This study examines the teaching methods used by faculty and near-peer tutors during abdominal ultrasound skills training. The results show that both groups spent the most time on observing and helping students, followed by asking questions and demonstrating explanations. Faculty tutors spent more time manually helping students, while near-peer tutors focused on exploring students' learning gaps and establishing a safe learning environment. The findings suggest that training programs for ultrasound tutors should emphasize coaching and articulation. The use of near-peer teaching in ultrasound skills education is supported by the similar teaching methods utilized by both faculty and near-peer tutors.

Summary: Since 2010, Chongqing in south-western China has constructed 40 million square metres of public rental housing in response to China's New Urbanisation Plan. This scheme, emphasizing massive provision and state involvement, has garnered significant attention. However, little research has explored the impact of this plan on rural migrant families' strategies and experiences. Findings from 120 semi-structured interviews with rural migrants reveal their tendency to adopt a family-based approach in maximizing their households' economic and non-economic interests when considering resettlement.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of introducing entrustable professional activities (EPAs) via a mobile app on feedback culture in anesthesiology residents and attending physicians. Participants reported changes in their day-to-day experience of feedback culture, including a lower threshold for seeking and giving feedback, a change in feedback focus, and a gamification aspect. However, the implementation of EPAs may result in a decrease in feedback on nontechnical skills.
