Addresses ethical considerations in patient care, including ethical dilemmas, physician duties to patients, and end-of-life decision-making. Includes all aspects of medical education throughout the continuum from medical school to lifelong learning.
MedConnect, originally known as the Vertically Integrated Trainee Program (VITP), was created in fall 2017 to connect premedical undergraduate students at the University of South Carolina with medical students at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, both located in Columbia, for mentorship and guidance. Our organization was formed...
Objective: Trainee autonomy is a value emphasized by formal governing bodies within graduate medical education, yet prior data demonstrate that pediatric residents perceive less autonomy than attendings report providing. Independent rounding (IR) is one practice that has been demonstrated in qualitative studies to promote autonomy. The objective of our study...
Objectives: Community health workers (CHWs) help patients navigate community resources and support healthier lifestyles. Although stroke transitions of care require navigating complex clinical services and behavioral changes, there is no established formal training for CHWs in stroke care across Florida. We describe the impact of a comprehensive stroke training course...
Medical students around the world are now routinely using generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools (eg, Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, Microsoft CoPilot, and OpenEvidence) as they interview patients, generate differential diagnoses, and formulate treatment plans.1 Although more experienced clinicians who trained without these tools often rely on memory and pattern recognition,...
Objective: Data are lacking on the effect of pediatric clerkship duration on National Board of Medical Examiners pediatric shelf examination scores. Our school has recently changed its clerkship structure, transitioning from separate ambulatory and inpatient clerkships with examination at the end of each clerkship to a combined 8-week ambulatory and...
Objective: The objective was to investigate whether medical students can learn a pediatric musculoskeletal examination independently by studying the pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs, and Spine (pGALS) assessment. Methods: Fourth-year medical students were surveyed in 2018 regarding confidence and experience with the pediatric musculoskeletal training. Students performed an initial scored musculoskeletal...
Objective: We sought to evaluate the benefit of implementing a 2-hour afternoon didactic workshop teaching Internal Medicine (IM) residents about the unique aspects of caring for US military veterans. Methods: Using a conceptual framework of patient-centric care, we designed and implemented a veteran-centric care workshop focusing on cultural differences in...
Objectives: Quality improvement and patient safety (QI/PS) education is required for students in undergraduate healthcare training. Interprofessional education provides an excellent collaborative opportunity to teach the core concepts of this topic; however, implementing a successful interprofessional activity often is challenging due to complex curricular and scheduling differences. To meet this...
Objectives: Racism is a public health crisis, and it is imperative that healthcare providers act to dismantle it. Although social determinants of health have been incorporated into graduate medical education, few longitudinal antiracism curricula exist. We evaluated a longitudinal antiracism curriculum for Internal Medicine (IM) residents, hypothesizing that participation would...
Objectives: Hospital rounding practices have shifted away from being conducted at the patient’s bedside to favor rounding in workrooms. Prior studies assessing learner attitudes toward bedside rounds largely focused on its educational value for residents, with less attention paid to medical students or other relevant domains in the learner experience....
