Summary: The study found that students in clinical clerkships engage others in their networks to support a range of self-regulated learning activities. As students progress through clinical training, whom they engage and the purpose of engagement seem to shift. Discussing self-reflections and self-evaluations were consistently among the most frequently mentioned purposes for which students engaged others.

Summary: The use of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in medical curriculum facilitates smooth transitions between clerkships and enhances students' learning processes. EPAs provide support and continuity during transitions, enabling students to build skills, confidence, and independence. Transitions are important learning opportunities that can be fully utilized by incorporating EPA guidance.

Summary: This study used advanced MRI techniques to investigate age-related changes in microstructural properties of amygdala subnuclei and white matter connections across adolescence. The findings showed age-related increases in neurite density index in specific amygdala subnuclei and white matter connections, indicating increased connectivity between amygdalae and diencephalon structures during development.

Summary: Simulations and applications to real data show that adjustment of genome-wide association analyses for polygenic scores increases the statistical power for discovery across all ancestries, suggesting an analytical strategy for future studies in underrepresented populations.

Summary: The study investigates the alignment between CBME frameworks used in undergraduate medical education (UME) and graduate medical education (GME) settings in the US. It highlights the challenges of creating alignment in assessment frameworks across the continuum of training and suggests four next steps to improve educational continuity.

Summary: The study found that the majority of medical students are open to even longer rural clerkships. Students who are younger, grew up in rural or small-town areas, can imagine working in rural areas in the future, and see general practice as a preferred or at least conceivable career option are more willing to complete longer rural clerkships. Financial and organizational issues, such as clerkship remuneration, cost of travel and accommodation, and accessibility by public transport, are important factors in increasing the attractiveness of rural clerkships. Experience reports from fellow students, social media, and informational events are considered the most suitable ways to promote rural teaching opportunities.

Summary: This study investigates the relationships among middle school students' mathematical modeling competency, curiosity, and creativity. The results show that there are significant differences between boys and girls in terms of these variables, with boys scoring higher. Curiosity mediates the relationship between mathematical modeling competency and creativity, and guided inquiry teaching moderates the influence of curiosity.

Summary: Nutrition education is crucial in supporting optimal patient care and health outcomes across the healthcare spectrum, and nurses need sufficient nutrition education to support health promotion and disease management. The lack of nutrition education in nursing curricula is a common issue, and interdisciplinary collaboration requires nurses to reinforce and support the dissemination of accurate nutrition education.

Summary: This study examines how student self-assessment unfolds and the potential differences across students of different competency levels. The findings reveal that students are more likely to seek external feedback through inquiry later in the semester, and highly competent students outperform their less competent peers in this regard. However, overall, self-assessment practices remain constant over time, with little significant difference among different competency groups.

Summary: We document substantial variation in arthritis-attributable joint pain and educational disparities across US states, and identify state-level contextual factors/policies that shape these pain outcomes. Higher educational disparities in pain are associated with higher prevalence of arthritis-attributable joint pain. More generous social assistance programs and higher social cohesion predict lower pain prevalence.

Summary: This study explores the optimal number of students and items for evaluating college teachers' teaching level under budget constraints to maintain the sustainable development of higher education, based on generalizability theory and Lagrange multiplier. The results indicate that the optimal sample size is 31 students per teacher and 7 items per dimension under budget constraints.

Summary: This study explores the opinions of academic and practicing pharmacists on preparing pharmacy students for disaster management. The main themes identified include knowledge of health and disaster management, specific skills in disaster management, positive attitudes, appropriate behavior in the face of a disaster, personal readiness, and training. Soft skills such as communication and problem-solving are considered essential for students.

Summary: This study found that among Polish students, achievement scores in reading, mathematics, science, and a Raven's Progressive Matrices test mostly reflect general ability rather than domain-specific abilities. Using a bifactor Item Response Theory model provided more credible relationships with criterion variables compared to the standard multidimensional model.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to define a standard protocol for setting EPA achievement thresholds and examine their feasibility within the clinical clerkship. The achievement thresholds for each EPA were set by using sequential rounds of revision and evaluation. The results showed that 96.27% of EPAs were successfully completed by clerkship students, demonstrating a high level of feasibility.

Summary: This study evaluated different types of failure after minimally-invasive pyeloplasty (MIP) and found that the outcomes were related to the initial radiologic study and symptoms after ureteral stent removal. These findings are important for counseling patients and guiding physicians in choosing surveillance schedules.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the attitudes and practices regarding trainee autonomy in hypospadias repair among pediatric urologists. The survey results showed near unanimous agreement that trainees should not perform hypospadias repair without additional fellowship training. Trainee autonomy decreased as the complexity of the procedure increased.

Summary: Telehealth, particularly through video visits, has shown high patient satisfaction and cost-saving benefits. This study found that video visits had similar completion rates as traditional clinic visits, but significantly shorter cycle times. While video visits may reduce patient follow-up time without affecting reimbursement rates, they may also lower billing levels.
