Abstract Background: Medical students struggle with varied stressors and developing adequate coping mechanisms is essential. Purpose: This study examined medical student perceptions of the well-being impact a theatre-based course. Methods: Eighteen 1st-year at University Alberta participated in 3 focus groups following conclusion module that was piloted first quarter 2010. A semistructured protocol used to guide groups, which were audiotaped transcribed. Along general feedback, on personal...

With the advent of 2019 coronavirus pandemic, a decision was made to remove medical students from clinical rotations for their own safety. This forced on core emergency medicine (EM) rotation at McMaster University immediately cease all in-person activities. An urgent need virtual curriculum emerged.

Time was measured not by the hands of clock but cascades pills that flowed into my mouth. They extended life, I told, each capsule buying me more time. imagined a little angel, sitting on shoulder with ledger, adding minute for pill swallowed. Surely larger ones earned time? As aged, their quantities had multiplied: from “little-white-pill lunch” to “three round horse pills” be kept away sunlight.

Implication statement
 The COVID-19 pandemic has limited in-person experiences for medical students, especially in situations involving aerosol-generating procedures. We designed a video situ simulation to orient students critical steps intubation algorithms. Small groups of were paired virtually with facilitators (faculty and residents) watched an emergency staff performing protected intubation, discussion points appearing on screen at discrete times. simple design drives engagement,...
Abstract Background While in situ simulation (ISS) provides robust value for health care teams, it is less clear how medical learners affect the experiences of other participants. Methods This was a single‐center qualitative analysis community hospital’s emergency department ISS program that included (medical students, family and medicine residents). Focus groups were conducted before after with nurses, staff physicians, resident physicians. Phenomenologic using constructivist framework used...
I won't tell you her name. Not because of patient confidentiality but because, honestly, don't remember it. can still picture face though, a soft squishy cone nose sat between beady eyes.
