Background Large language models such as GPT-4 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4) are being increasingly used in medicine and medical education. However, these prone to “hallucinations” (ie, outputs that seem convincing while factually incorrect). It is currently unknown how errors by large relate the different cognitive levels defined Bloom’s taxonomy. Objective This study aims explore performs terms of taxonomy using psychosomatic exam questions. Methods We a data set multiple-choice...

Communication is a core competency of medical professionals and utmost importance for patient safety. Although curricula emphasize communication training, traditional formats, such as real or simulated interactions, can present psychological stress are limited in repetition. The recent emergence large language models (LLMs), generative pretrained transformer (GPT), offers an opportunity to overcome these restrictions.

Changing learning environments in health professions are an important challenge of interprofessional education (IPE). When students experience IPE activities during their undergraduate training, they often guided by trained facilitators. Students still spend more time non-IPE settings, residents. Residents rarely undergo specific training for core teaching competencies that crucial both and contexts. At our pediatric hospital, some residents were as facilitators on ward. To bridge the gap...

Objectives: Competency-based medical education (CBME) requires factual knowledge to be practically applied together with skills and attitudes. With the National Competence-Based Learning Objectives for Undergraduate Medical Education (NKLM) representing a strong official demand competence-orientation, it is generally important explicitly outline its characteristics review realisation in teacher trainings. Further requirements are given by core competencies teachers (KLM). As an example MQ...

Objectives: Internationally, scientific and research-related competencies need to be sufficiently targeted as core outcomes in many undergraduate medical curricula. Since 2015, standards have been recommended for Germany the National Competency-based Learning Objective Catalogue Medicine (NKLM). The aim of this study is develop a multi-center mapping approach curricular benchmarking against national other faculties.Method: A total 277 faculty members from four German faculties mapped local...

Objectives: Transition to competency-based medical education is a highly challenging endeavor. Students, teachers and institutions need curricular transparency for understanding the build-up of competencies in terms coverage, sequence consistence learning objectives assessment. The project aim was develop implement web-based interactive platform curriculum mapping, diagnostics, development. tool should be transferable other faculties allow description visualization curricula comparison given...

Objective: After passing of the National Competency-based Learning Objectives Catalogue in Medicine (Nationaler Kompetenzbasierter Lernzielkatalog Medizin, [NKLM, retrieved on 22.03.2016]), German medical faculties must take inventory and develop their curricula. NKLM contents are expected to be present, but not linked well or sensibly enough locally grown examination formats reviewed for appropriateness coverage competences. The necessary curricular transparency is best achieved by...

Introduction: Reflective competence is fundamental for responsible medical practice and must be systematically incorporated in training. To promote this, a longitudinal portfolio-based mentoring program was made mandatory at the Medical Faculty of University Tübingen 2013. This study examines students' attitudes toward professional reflection general to draw conclusions about conditions as well needs-based design program. Method: In winter semester 2017/18, retrospective questionnaire survey...

Abstract Introduction Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are increasingly used in medicine and medical education. However, these prone to “hallucinations” – outputs that sound convincing while being factually incorrect. It is currently unknown how errors by LLMs relate the different cognitive levels defined Bloom’s Taxonomy. Methods We a large dataset of psychosomatic multiple-choice questions (MCQ) (N = 307) with real-world results derived from school exams. answered MCQs using two...

Objective: After adoption of the National Competency-based Learning Objectives Catalogue in Medicine [Nationaler Kompetenzbasierter Lernzielkatalog Medizin, NKLM], German medical faculties are asked to test learning obejctives recorded it and evaluate them critically. The require curricular transparency for competence-oriented transition present curricula, which is best achieved by systematic curriculum mapping comparison NKLM. Based on this inventory, curricula can be further developed...

In order to provide faculty-wide undergraduate ultrasound training in times of scarce resources, many medical faculties employ trained peer-student tutors oversee the hands-on training. However, data guide are scarce. We conducted a prospective quasi-randomized study assess gain theoretical knowledge and practical scanning skills who were with course only, an internship or combination internship. A total 44 by one-week only (C-Group, n = 21), (I-Group, 10) (CI-Group, 13). Prior after...

Background: Based on CanMEDS and others, the German National Competence-Based Learning Objectives for Undergraduate Medical Education (NKLM) were recently consented. International studies recommend integrating national cultural context when transferring a professional roles framework in different countries. Teachers' misconceptions may establish barriers role understanding implementation.Objectives: The aim is to analyze medical teachers' rating perception of NKLM order reveal differences...

Abstract Background The Collaborator, Health Advocate and Leader/Manager roles are highly relevant for safe patient management optimization of healthcare system in rehabilitation prevention. They defined competency-based frameworks incorporate competencies empowering physicians to master typical daily tasks interdisciplinary, interprofessional institutional collaboration. However, appropriate implementation remains difficult undergraduate medical education (UME) needs be closely monitored....

Introduction Early defibrillation is an important factor of survival in cardiac arrest. However, novice resuscitators often struggle with arrest patients. We investigated factors leading to delayed performed by final-year medical students within a simulated bystander situation.
