Online curricula can make high-quality health professions education accessible in virtually any setting. They enhance teaching and learning by both standardizing curricular resources individualizing experiences. Despite growing demand for institutional interest online medical education, many educators lack a framework curriculum development. Without rigorous thoughtful development, waste opportunity leading to that is inferior traditional methods. In this article, the authors describe...

Medical education videos can enhance learning and easily integrate into common instructional methods. YouTube permits worldwide access to high-quality medical videos; however, no studies have described the reach of on or what topics are preferred.One year analytics data (February 1, 2016, January 31, 2017) was collected for a medical-education-focused channel called Osmosis. Created December 20, 2015, had 189 disease-focused by 2017. Viewer subscriber were analyzed according World Bank's...

Abstract Tumor hypoxia often directly correlates with aggressive phenotype, metastasis progression, and resistance to chemotherapy. Two transcription factors [hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) HIF-2α] are dramatically induced in hypoxic areas regulate the expression of genes necessary for tumor adaptation conditions low oxygen; however, relative contribution these is controversial. We used RNA interference–mediated inactivation HIF-1α or HIF-2α followed by microarray analysis identify...

The purpose of this study was to ascertain what medical students, doctors and the public felt unprofessional for as future doctors, post on a social media site, Facebook(®) . significance is that content reflects poorly student, which in turn can significantly affect patient's confidence student's clinical abilities.An online survey designed investigate perceptions University Michigan attending physicians non-health care university-wide employees (that serves subset public) regarding mock...

Objective To assess whether favourable perceptions of the learning environment (LE) were associated with better quality life, less burnout and more empathy across three undergraduate medical education programmes in Israel, Malaysia China. Methods Cross-sectional surveys administered at end 2013–2014 academic year schools: Technion American Medical Students Program (TAMS) Perdana University-Royal College Surgeons Ireland School Medicine (PURCSI) Peking Union (PUMC) LE assessed using Johns...

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly emerged as a potentially transformative tool in education. Faculty development (FD) programs, particularly curriculum (CD), are ideal settings for incorporating GenAI to benefit faculty and their learners. However, concerns about accuracy, bias, ethical implications necessitate structured responsible integration. We incorporated across five CD programs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) 2023-2024. developed exercises using customizable...

Abstract Background Letters of recommendation are considered one the most important factors for whether an applicant is selected interview orthopaedic surgery residency programs. Language differences in letters describing men versus women candidates may create differential perceptions by gender. Given gender imbalance surgery, we sought to determine there language Questions/purposes (1) Are word count and categories applicants, regardless author gender? (2) Is associated with category...

Nearly all U.S. medical students engage in a 4-8 week period of intense preparation for their first-level licensure exams, termed "dedicated period" (DPP). It is widely assumed that student well-being harmed during DPPs, but evidence limited. This study characterized students' physical, intellectual, emotional, and social DPPs.This was cross-sectional survey sent electronically to second-year at four schools after each school's respective DPP USMLE Step 1 or COMLEX Level 2019. Survey items...

Abstract Neonatal deaths are a major contributor to global under-5-year-old mortality. Training birth attendants can improve perinatal outcomes, but skills may fade over time. In this pilot study, we assessed skill decay of nursing students after remote video versus in-person resuscitation training in low-resource setting. Filipino ( n = 49) underwent traditional, simulation-based Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) Mindanao, Philippines. Participants were then assigned receive refresher at 2-month...

Purpose We implemented and evaluated a hybrid 4-week arts-based elective for clinical medical students to support flourishing.Materials Methods Five participated in early 2022. Twelve sessions occurred in-person at art museums other cultural centers, five online. Sessions incorporated varied learning activities, including Visual Thinking Strategies, jazz seminar, mask-making workshop. the course via weekly reflective essays, interviews 6 weeks after course, pre-post surveys that included...

Purpose: The number of women in high-level leadership academic medicine remains disproportionately low. Early career programs may help increase women's representation leadership. We evaluated the Career Women's Leadership Program (ECWLP). hypothesized that participants would rate themselves as having increased confidence their potential, improved skills, and greater alignment between goals for well-being leading after program. also explored participants' aspirations around pursuing before...

Cervical spine fusion is performed for various indications in patient populations ranging from young and healthy to aged frail. Whereas disease pathoanatomy dictates the surgical approach, preoperative neurological status does not necessarily implicate a specific technique. Although one expects anterior decompression be over fewer segments healthier patients who experience complications faster recovery, impact of pre-operative myelopathy on perioperative remains unclear. No large-scale study...

Abstract Activation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF), responsible for tumor angiogenesis and glycolytic switch, is regulated by reduced oxygen availability. Normally, HIF-α proteins are maintained at low levels, controlled site-specific hydroxylation carried out HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHD) subsequent proteasomal degradation via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitin ligase. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified an interaction between melanoma antigen-11 (MAGE-11) cancer-testis antigen...

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) regulates the expression of genes that facilitate tumor cell survival by making them more resistant to therapeutic intervention. Recent evidence suggests activation other transcription factors, in cooperation with HIF-1 or acting alone, is involved upregulation hypoxia-inducible genes. Here we report high density, a condition might mimic physiologic situation growing and most probably representing nutritional starvation, upregulates This can occur...

In Brief Study Design. Database study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample administrative data from 1988 through 2004. Objective. To examine perioperative morbidity and mortality for patients diagnosed with myelopathy, without diabetes mellitus (DM) (and subclassifications) following cervical spinal fusion. Summary of Background Data. DM has been associated worse outcomes in a variety orthopedic procedures including surgery. Evidence that have more complications fusion, specifically those...

To create an evaluation plan for the World Federation Medical Education (WFME) accreditation standards basic medical education.We conceptualized 100 from "Basic Education: WFME Global Standards Quality Improvement: The 2012 Revision" as education program objectives. were simplified into evaluable items, which then categorized inputs, processes, outputs and/or outcomes to generate a logic model and corresponding data collection.WFME posed significant challenges due complex wording,...

The global healthcare market is massive and expanding having an unprecedented influence on medical education around the world.1 Increased demand for has created physicians over above shortage of that been well-recognized. This heightened led to a number trends, such as exponential increase in schools students migration training.2-6 new system, marked by its growing size complexity, greater concerns about quality assurance individual graduates their educational programs. purpose this article...

Background: Adaptive learning platforms (ALPs) can revolutionize medical education by making more efficient, but their potential has not been realized because students do use them persistently.Methods: We applied educational data mining methods to study United States who used an ALP called Osmosis (www.osmosis.org) from 1 August 2014 31 July 2015. Multivariate logistic regressions modeled persistence on as the dependent variable and Osmosis-collected variables predictors.Results: The 6787...
