Summary: The study found that medical students are legitimately participating within medical student communities of practice and wider medical communities of practice. Thematic analysis identified five facets in a new model to understand professional identity formation (PIF) within the context of legitimate peripheral participation (LPP) in a community of practice (CoP): Awareness, Collaboration, Negotiation, Evaluation, and Realisation. Reflecting on action is shown to be an important aspect of PIF and helps to understand the changes occurring in students more consciously.

Summary: A novel interpreter training program was developed to train medical students as Spanish interpreters to improve healthcare delivery for LEP patients. Students showed increased familiarity with the Interpreter Code of Ethics, improved interpreter skills, and a significant increase in overall scores after training. The program resulted in more trained interpreters available for LEP patients at a charitable clinic and university hospital, and is easily replicable and managed by volunteers.

Summary: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to a high demand for healthcare workers and governments are considering enrolling medical students to assist. Most medical students are willing to help during the pandemic, with clinical year students more likely to assist in medical capacity. Concerns about personal well-being, impact of online lectures on education, and lack of necessary knowledge and protective equipment are barriers for students willing to assist in a medical setting.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of an e-module and a didactic lecture on teaching ECG interpretation to medical students. The results showed that the e-module group performed better on the post-course test, but their performance decreased after one year. Both groups of students showed increased confidence, but only pre-course knowledge was significantly correlated with confidence. The study also found that students relied on textbooks and course materials for learning ECG interpretation.

Summary: This paper proposes a CNN and Transformer Complementary Network (CTC-Net) for medical image segmentation. It designs two encoders to produce complementary features in Transformer and CNN domains, and uses cross-domain fusion, feature correlation, and dual attention to enhance the representation ability of features. It also incorporates skip connections to extract spatial details, contextual semantics, and long-range information.

Summary: This study aimed to establish the foundation for character education program in medical schools by conducting a survey among medical students on self-assessment of character, analyzing learning methods' usefulness, verifying gender and academic-year differences in self-evaluation, and identifying students' satisfaction with character education. The results showed that medical students varied in their perceptions of character education based on gender and academic year. They highly valued character education but were unsatisfied with the current programs.

Summary: The study found a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and burnout levels in medical students, with higher emotional intelligence leading to lower levels of burnout. Future research could explore whether these results apply to other medical schools, and if improving emotional intelligence has the benefit of reducing burnout.

Summary: It is important to estimate the effectiveness of countries, plants, and farms in economic applications. The current Stochastic Frontier techniques have limitations as they are based on arbitrary assumptions about the probability distribution of effectiveness. Using economically motivated families of distributions can make conclusions more convincing.

Summary: This study identified three major mechanisms in the formation of medical students' professional identity: linking current experiences to past, comparing different types of knowledge, doctors or medicine, and considering future perspectives. Understanding these mechanisms can help medical educators better support students in forming their professional identities.

Summary: This study examines the roles of volunteer medical interpreters in mediating provider-patient conflicts in a designated hospital in China. The findings suggest that volunteer medical interpreters play multiple roles, including provider proxy, patient advocates, information gatekeepers, and emotional supporters, and their practices result in different role-spaces with high presentation of self-driven actions during dyadic communication with patients.
