Abstract Background Comparison of humoral responses in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccinees, those with SARS-CoV-2 infection, or combinations vaccine/ infection (“hybrid immunity”) may clarify predictors vaccine immunogenicity. Methods We studied 2660 US Military Health System beneficiaries a history infection-alone (n = 705), vaccination-alone 932), vaccine-after-infection 869), and vaccine-breakthrough-infection 154). Peak anti-spike–immunoglobulin G (IgG)...
To explore medical trainees' experiences of leadership and followership in the interprofessional healthcare workplace.A qualitative approach using narrative interviewing techniques 11 group 19 individual interviews with UK trainees.Multisite study across four health boards.Through maximum variation sampling, 65 trainees were recruited from a range specialties at various stages training. Participants shared stories about their workplace.Data analysed thematic analysis.We identified 171...
To explore trainee doctors' experiences of the transition to trained doctor, we answer three questions: (1) What multiple and multidimensional transitions (MMTs) are experienced as participants move from doctor? (2) facilitates hinders successful experiences? (3) is impact MMTs on doctors?A qualitative longitudinal study underpinned by MMT theory.Four training areas (health boards) in UK.20 doctors, 19 higher-stage trainees within 6 months completing their postgraduate 1 staff grade,...
Context As doctors in all specialties are expected to undertake leadership within health care organisations, development has become an inherent part of medical education. Whereas the literature education remains mostly focused on individual, hierarchical leadership, contemporary theory posits as a group process, which should be distributed across levels organisation. This gap between and practice indicates that there is need understand what followership mean trainees working today's...
Abstract Context During transitions, doctors engage in identity work to adapt changes multiple domains. Accompanied by this are dynamic ‘liminal’ phases. Definitions of liminality denote a state being ‘betwixt and between’ identities. From social constructionist perspective, betwixt between professional identities may either involve sense disrupted self, requiring move through out (ie, temporary liminality), or refer the experiences workers (eg, locum doctors) those dual roles...
Characterizing the longevity and quality of cellular immune responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enhances understanding disease 2019 (COVID-19) immunity that influences clinical outcomes. Prior studies suggest SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells are present in peripheral blood 10 months after infection. Analysis function, durability, diversity response long natural infection, over a range ages phenotypes, is needed identify preventative therapeutic...
Objectives General practice continues to be an under-represented career choice among medical school graduates, and the retention of general practitioner (GP) workforce remains challenging. Academic (AGP) is vital development evidence base for education next generation doctors GPs. careers portfolio in are seen as a means increasing GPs profession. However, AGP largely invisible many number AGPs declining. There no clear understanding reasons this. The aim this study was explore factors that...

Design Arksey O’Malley’s five-stage framework used types evidence available in field for pandemic. PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, Scopus, Web Science, CINAHL ERIC databases were searched find doctors pandemics. Owing lack results, search expanded all include any crisis. Databases June 2020 again...
Abstract Emergent research indicates that electronic portfolios (ePortfolios) can have a positive impact on the learning experience, but there are significant challenges—pedagogical and technological—which may limit their effectiveness. This paper contributes to by providing further evidence about such challenges from tutor perspective offers suggestions how institutions address these issues. The draws upon 23 semi‐structured interviews conducted with tutors in range of subject areas,...
Current theoretical thinking asserts that leadership should be distributed across many levels of healthcare organisations to improve the patient experience and staff morale. However, much education focusses on training competence individuals little attention is paid interprofessional workplace how its inherent complexities might contribute emergence leadership. Underpinned by complexity theory, this research aimed explore teams enact at a micro-level through influential acts organising. A...
Abstract Context Medical education is neither simple nor stable, and highly contextualised. Hence, ways of perceiving multiple connections complexity are fundamental when seeking to describe, understand address concerns questions related change. Proposal In response calls in the literature, we introduce three examples contemporary organisational theory which can be used operationalise change within medical education. These theories, institutional logics, paradox leadership theory,...
Abstract Introduction Supporting doctors' wellbeing is crucial for medical education to help minimise negative long‐term impacts on workforce retention and ultimately patient care. There limited study of how transitions experiences impact wellbeing, particularly socially culturally. Multiple Multidimensional Transitions (MMT) theory views as dynamic, incorporating multiple contexts domains. Using MMT our lens, we report a qualitative analysis experienced by doctors during the pandemic...
Abstract Background The mechanisms underlying the association between obesity and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity remain unclear. After verifying that was a correlate of severe COVID-19 in US Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries, we compared immunological virological phenotypes acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection both obese nonobese participants. Methods COVID-19–infected MHS beneficiaries were enrolled, anthropometric, clinical, demographic data collected....
Abstract The existence of gendered and racialized inequalities in academia has been well documented. To date, research primarily addressed the intersectional disadvantages faced by members minority groups with much less attention paid to privileges experienced dominant group members. This paper draws on 21 interviews 36 audio‐diary entries completed a diverse senior higher education leaders who have successfully navigated career ladder UK business schools. By juxtaposing members' narratives,...
Background: Throughout their careers, doctors and other healthcare professionals experience numerous transitions. When supporting transitions, opportunities for development learning should be maximized, while stressors having negative impacts on well-being minimized. Building our international data, this study aimed to develop a conceptual model of the trainee-trained transition (i.e. significant transitions experienced by as they complete postgraduate training moving from trainee/resident...

The research comprised four workstreams: literature review (WS1), qualitative study (WS2), implementation (WS3) evaluation (WS4). Due time constraints, we parallel design WS1–3...
The recent rise to prominence of healthcare leadership worldwide has prompted those involved in medical education consider how facilitate learning lead effectively. Research focused on formal curriculum activities. Curricular theory suggests that trainee doctors may also learn through the informal but there is a lack literature this. We aimed explore GP trainees about their training practices. Epistemologically grounded social constructionism, this research 15 semi-structured interviews with...
