Summary: Understanding instructional design theory is crucial, but novice designers often struggle due to the abstract and complex nature of the theory, inconsistent use of terms and concepts, and the separation of theory from practice. This study used collaborative autoethnography to explore the sensemaking process of six instructional design learners, shedding light on the strategies they used to deepen their understanding and the challenges they faced.

Summary: Knowing the teaching methods valued by students is crucial for improving the quality of learning. This study examines the commonly used teaching methods in a Spanish university's Medicine Degree program, as perceived by professors and students. The findings reveal that lectures are the most frequently used method, but students' assessments of lectures are lower than the frequency of use. This suggests that other teaching methods are being neglected despite students' positive evaluations of them.

Summary: In the context of medical device training, e-Learning can address problems like unstandardized content and different learning paces. However, staff and students value hands-on activities during medical device training. This study found that using a syringe pump in combination with an e-Learning program improved procedural skills compared to using the e-Learning program alone.

Summary: Radiology education for medical students is becoming increasingly important due to its intersection with various medical specialties and its crucial role in patient care. However, there is variability in radiology education requirements among US medical schools, with only a minority mandating a radiology clerkship. The existing curriculum often focuses on anatomy courses or incorporates radiology into core clerkships, often taught by nonradiologists. It is essential for medical students to receive comprehensive imaging education, including interpretive and non-interpretive skills, appropriateness criteria for ordering exams, cost considerations, imaging safety, and understanding the role of radiologists as consultants.

Summary: This study aimed to establish a tool for assessing the non-technical skills (NTS) of newly graduated physicians in Norway. Through focus group interviews and literature search, the Norwegian medical students' non-technical skills (NorMS-NTS) assessment tool was developed, which consists of four main categories and a rating scale for observed NTS. This tool provides a purpose-made assessment method to evaluate the NTS of new physicians.

Summary: A cross-sectional analysis conducted among medical students at Universidad de Navarra in September 2020 found that rereading, highlighting, and summarisation were the most common learning techniques used but had detrimental effects on academic outcomes. On the other hand, metacognition was identified as the most effective technique, although a majority of the students were unfamiliar with it. Further research is needed to validate these findings.

Summary: This review conducted a scoping review examining curriculum initiatives that seek to enhance research experience for medical students, finding that both mandatory and elective research projects predominated in non-intercalated research options, while intercalated degree options focused on more 'novel' options and their effects on student performance and careers.

Summary: This article examines medical students' experiences with communication skills training (CST) in medical education and compares them among five students from the U.S., U.K., and Ireland at the 2022 International Conference on Communication in Healthcare (ICCH). The results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted communication teaching and learning, and the students emphasize the need to effectively communicate with diverse patient populations. The conclusion highlights the major changes brought by the pandemic to CST and the successful adaptation of students to virtual platforms for communicating with patients, as well as the value of generalized strategies in learning to communicate with patients from different backgrounds. The practice implications emphasize the importance of collaboration between medical schools to share strengths and improve CST, while considering learner perspectives to better prepare them for real world clinical practice.

Summary: Simulation is an effective method for learning procedural skills, and this study aimed to investigate the translational outcomes of simulation-based venipuncture training compared to bedside learning. The results showed that students who received simulation-based training demonstrated higher technical accuracy when performing the procedure on actual patients and were able to transfer the skills acquired in the skills laboratory to the bedside.
