Anatomy remains a cornerstone of medical education despite challenges that have seen significant reduction in contact hours over recent decades; however, the rise "YouTube Generation" or "Generation Connected" (Gen C), offers new possibilities for anatomy education. Gen C, which consists 80% Millennials, actively interact with social media and integrate it into their experience. Most are willing to merge online presence degree programs by engaging course materials sharing knowledge freely...
SUMMARY As a clinician interested in qualitative research, you are likely to have pondered whether particular study is trustworthy. How do know research findings valid and can be applied your setting? The quality standards would look for quantitative not apply. Furthermore, conducted within number of paradigms, or ways understanding the nature reality knowledge, each associated with different defining, reporting quality. This ‘How …’ article aims support health care practitioners, educators...
The problem: Clinical practice commonly presents new doctors with situations that they are incapable of managing safely. This harms patients and stresses the other clinicians. Unpreparedness for remains a problem despite changes in curricula from apprenticeship to outcome-based designs. is unsurprising because capability depends on learning practical experience supportive environments. To assure care well-being residents, pedagogy medical students’ practice-based education urgent need an...
The quality of the Educational environment is a key determinant student centred curriculum. Evaluation educational an important component programme appraisal. In order to conduct such evaluation use comprehensive, valid and reliable instrument essential. One most widely used contemporary tools for learning Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM). Apart from initial psychometric DREEM, few published studies report its properties in detail. aim this study was examine DREEM measure...
High quality clinical learning environments (CLE) are critical to postgraduate medical education (PGME). The understaffed and overcrowded in which many residents work present a significant challenge learning. purpose of this study was develop national expert group consensus amongst stakeholders PGME to; (i) identify important barriers facilitators CLEs (ii) indicate priority areas for improvement. Our objective provide information focus efforts high CLEs. Group Concept Mapping (GCM) is an...
Longitudinal qualitative research is an approach to that entails generating data with the same participants over extended periods of time understand their lived experiences as those unfold. Knowing about dynamic in medical education, is, learning journeys stops and starts, detours, transitions reversals, enriches understanding events accomplishments along way. The purpose this paper create access points longitudinal support increasing its use education.The authors explore argue for different...
Context This paper presents a realist synthesis of the literature that began with objective developing theory workplace learning specific to postgraduate medical education (PME). As review progressed, we focused on informal between trainee and senior doctor or supervisor, asking what mechanisms occur lead outcomes PME, contexts shape operation these they produce? Methods We followed procedures outlined in RAMESES Publication Standards for Realist Synthesis. searched English-language...
Peer assisted learning (PAL) is a common feature of medical education. Understanding PAL has been based on processes and outcomes in controlled settings, such as clinical skills labs. the setting, complex environment, requires fresh evaluation. Socio-cultural theory proposed means to understand educational interventions ways that are practical meaningful. We describe evaluation intervention, introduced support students' transition into full time attachments, using activity systems analysis...
In this paper, the fifth in a series on qualitative research medical education, we discuss approaches to analysing data. We focus primarily transcribed interview and group also touch analysis of visual data, potentially fruitful alternative approach.

Methods assumption that there uniform 'good doctor' identity, must be inculcated students,...
Historically, primary care (community and family) medicine has often been viewed as lower status than secondary (hospital) practice. Current evidence suggests this pattern continues to impact medical practice education. Medical education however, yet fully reflect power dynamic, with undergraduate training in many institutions maintaining the hegemonic position of prime context for learning.In paper, we present conflicting paradigms Using a sociocultural lens drawing on Figured Worlds...
Context The transition to clinical practice is challenging. Lack of preparedness and issues with support, responsibility complex workplace interactions contribute the difficulties encountered. first year associated negative consequences for new doctors’ health well‐being. contemporaneous lived experience graduates on threshold has not been described. Deeper understanding this phase may inform interventions ease from student doctor. Methods We used interpretative phenomenological analysis (...
Introduction: The number of older adults accessing the healthcare service far exceeds available geriatric specialist services. It is recognised that for foreseeable future most hospital inpatient contacts with will be completed by doctors not specifically trained in medicine. To ensure provision adequate healthcare, it imperative all are minimum competencies. Allowing broad, complex, and multidisciplinary nature medicine, we conducted a group concept mapping (GCM) study to permit multiple...
Fostering a culture of clinical effectiveness in healthcare is crucial to achieving optimum outcomes for patients. Evidence-based practice (EBP) cornerstone effectiveness. An EBP capacity-building project commenced Ireland 2016, collaboration with the Centre Evidence-Based Medicine Oxford. A key part this project, reported here, was development competency framework education and ensure responsiveness standards curricula professionals area. Methods Following review national international...
High-quality orientation of trainees entering a new clinical workplace is essential to support education and patient safety. However, few consultants receive extensive formal training must create their own ways integrating newcomers into team work environment. We aim conceptualise the strategies use in early stages working with that will be useful for future faculty development this area.We used constructivist grounded theory (CGT) methodology by interviewing fifteen three medical...
Context Learning about professional roles in clinical settings is confounded by the gap between espoused theory and practice of workplace. Workplace learning grounded that which afforded to learners individuals’ engagement with those affordances. The meaning students make real‐world performance how this relates formal professionalism frameworks remain unclear. Construal experience individual. Professional are enacted eye beholder. In their reflections, student subjectivities,...
Abstract Background Healthcare worldwide needs translation of basic ideas from engineering into the clinic. Consequently, there is increasing demand for graduates equipped with knowledge and skills to apply interdisciplinary medicine/engineering approaches development novel solutions healthcare. The literature provides little guidance regarding barriers to, facilitators of, effective learning medical students in a team-based project context. Methods A quantitative survey was distributed...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> Doctors rate clinical relevance and applicability as the most important determinants of continuing professional development (CPD) course selection. This study examined patterns current CPD practice perceived needs among hospital doctors in Ireland across various specialties. A cross-sectional survey was administered to doctors, focusing on areas training analysis, content preferred format. In total, 547 identified doctor-patient communication skill ranked highest for...
