Summary: This qualitative study examined the early experiences of 38 women medical students in their first two months of medical school, focusing on how they perceived and experienced ideal worker norms and how they made sense of these norms.

Summary: This study explores how medical students' learning experiences in medical school affect their professional identity development. The findings reveal that students undergo a process of shifting from societal perceptions of their identities to considering their own perceptions and the meaning of becoming a doctor. Students develop their professional identities through informal learning experiences, such as active interaction with patients, senior doctors, and individuals outside the medical community.

Summary: The study of masculinities in Latin-America is important but trans men have been overlooked. Latin-American research tends to focus on biomedical perspectives and ignores the subjective experiences of trans men. The study interviewed 14 Chilean trans men and found that they face heteronormative demands, perpetuating stereotypical gender patterns. However, they also have new perspectives on masculinity which challenge traditional gender roles.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of mega-threats on employees, particularly racial minorities, and finds that exposure to such events leads to heightened avoidant work behaviors. The study proposes that event observers who share identities with the victims become vicarious victims, triggering an experience of embodied threat. This, coupled with the racialized nature of organizational structures, compels employees to engage in threat suppression. The study also highlights the role of psychological safety in attenuating the negative effects of threat suppression on work behaviors.

Summary: This study investigates the changes in Chinese college English teachers' professional identities as a result of participating in international professional development programs and explores how they negotiate their professional identities upon returning to China. The study finds that international experiences greatly impact the teachers' professional identity construction, enabling them to develop multiple identities as language teaching professionals, university academics, and change agents. The process of reconstructing their professional identities upon returning to China is not linear and smooth but dynamic, involving negotiations with the constraints of personal and professional contexts.

Summary: People with disabilities face various barriers when accessing healthcare, including physical, communication, knowledge, structural, and attitudinal barriers. Physicians feel overwhelmed by the demands of their profession and the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, leading some to discharge disabled patients. Improving healthcare access for people with disabilities requires increased accessibility of space and equipment, better education for clinicians, and the removal of structural barriers in the healthcare system. Bias and reluctance from physicians also contribute to the healthcare disparities experienced by disabled individuals.

Summary: By exploring how experienced clinicians manage discomfort in uncertain environments, it was found that discomfort can serve as a dynamic means to handle uncertainty. Participants identified varying levels of discomfort, serving as triggers to monitor situations more attentively and deliberate about using resources strategically. Embracing discomfort as a powerful tool is essential for clinicians to be 'tolerant' of uncertainty in clinical practice.

Summary: This study explored the experiences of students at a student-run clinic and found that by interacting with real, complex patients, students gained insights into incorporating the patient's perspective into their care, and by working as a team instead of focusing on professional scopes of practice, students developed a meaningful understanding of the roles of practitioners from other health professions.

Summary: Managing uncertainty is essential in expert practice, and novices in emergency medicine face challenges in navigating clinical uncertainty. Novice trainees struggle with uncertainties in patient problems and management steps, as well as uncertainties regarding their own abilities and appraisals of the situation. They employ various approaches to combat this uncertainty, such as rehearsing steps, seeking feedback from others, and aligning their appraisals with those of experienced team members.

Summary: This study explored power dynamics between rural simulation participants and urban expert co-debriefers during a simulated operating room crisis and debriefing, revealing subtle expressions of power dynamics that were not observable in the enactment of the exercise. Rural learners appreciated the objectivity of the urban debriefers as well as the nurse/physician dyad, but seemed to quietly dismiss feedback when it was incongruent with their context.

Summary: The study investigates how residents and newly graduated physicians participate in the hidden curriculum, finding that they navigate it for professional development, intervene in others' enactment, and seek to repair it for the next generation through teaching. The findings suggest the need for more research on how early career physicians engage with the hidden curriculum, support for students and educators to understand their impact on it, and the potential of residents and early career physicians to influence the hidden curriculum through learning environments they create.

Summary: This study examines the experience of remediation in practising physicians and finds that it poses a threat to their professional and personal identity. Physicians undergoing remediation often feel threatened by regulatory bodies or try to find the best solution in difficult situations. It is important to support physicians in dealing with this identity threat and ensure that assessment and remediation processes do not lead remediatees to see themselves as victims.

Summary: This study explored the conceptualizations of expertise held by recently graduated physical therapists and found that they were in a transitional state regarding their understanding of expertise. They sometimes focused on knowledge acquisition and routinization of practice as the hallmark of expertise, while other times they acknowledged the need for more dynamic and adaptive problem-solving approaches. The results also suggested that the interview itself played a key role in prompting participants to reflect on these issues.

Summary: Professor Marion Bogo's work focused on advocating for high quality assessment of social work students, resulting in the development of meaningful and authentic field assessment tools that incorporate specific skills and higher-order thinking. This article highlights two conceptual limitations in assessing social work students in the field: the importance of broader conceptualizations of practice and the influence of field instructors' relationships with students on assessment. Efforts to develop authentic tools to capture field instructors' observations are also discussed.
