The persistence of diagnostic errors, despite advances in medical knowledge and diagnostics, highlights the importance understanding atypical disease presentations their contribution to mortality morbidity. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative pre-trained transformers like GPT-4, holds promise for improving accuracy, but requires further exploration handling presentations.
Abstract Background Training for the fundus examination using traditional teaching is challenging, resulting in low generalist physicians’ confidence performing funduscopic examination. There growing evidence suggesting a flexible e-learning video approach’s value physical procedures. However, whether approach superior to traditional, face-to-face (F2F) lecture-based exam and cognitive processes supporting its effectiveness has not yet been determined. Methods We conducted sequential...
Abstract Background Interprofessional collaborative practice competency (ICPC) is key to providing safe, high-quality, accessible, patient-centred care. Effective delirium management, particularly, requires a multi-component intervention, including the use of interprofessional teams at care point. This research aims investigate effectiveness flipped classroom approach for improving ICPC in simulation-based case management. Method An embedded mixed-methods study was designed effects on health...
The new duty hour (DH) limit for doctors in Japan will begin 2024, setting the maximum DHs postgraduate residents at approximately 80 h weekly. To set appropriate limits, understanding association between and psychological health is necessary. Thus, we assessed relationship residents' DHs. We conducted a cross-sectional study involving examinees of General Medicine In-training Examination 2020. Mental outcomes were measured dichotomously using Patient Health Questionnaire-2 depression Mini-Z...
In Japan, postgraduate clinical training encompasses a 2-year residency program, including at least 24 weeks of internal medicine (IM) rotations. However, the fragmented structure these rotations can compromise training's quality and depth. For example, resident might spend only few in cardiology before moving to endocrinology, without sufficient time deepen their understanding or have experience. This study examined current patterns lengths IM within Japanese medical system. It scrutinized...
