Impact of work hours and sleep on well ‐being and burnout for physicians‐in‐training: the Resident Activity Tracker Evaluation Study
ConclusionsWork hours and average daily sleep did not affect burnout. Physical activity did not prevent burnout. Work hour restrictions may lead to increased sleep but may not affect resident burnout or well ‐being. (Source: Medical Education)

Retest effects in medical selection interviews
ConclusionsUnsuccessful candidates for medical school who reapply and are re ‐interviewed on a subsequent occasion at the same institution are likely to increase their scores. The results of this study suggest the increase is probably not attributable to improved ability. (Source: Medical Education)

Working in the dead of night: exploring the transition to after ‐hours duty
ConclusionsFirst ‐year residents face multiple challenges during on‐call, which may prevent optimal learning in this setting. These challenges are amplified by the large gap between the respective roles of medical students and residents. We identified promoters of and barriers to effective learning in this envir onment and, by using workplace learning theory, provide recommendations for how we might be able to enhance medical students’ preparation for and first‐year residents’ learning during experiences of being on‐call.

Prevalence of depressive symptoms among medical students: overview of systematic reviews
ConclusionsDepression affected around a quarter of medical students in general and 40.9% of students in Africa. It is suggested that medical schools and health authorities should introduce preventive measures to curb the high prevalence of depressive symptoms. (Source: Medical Education)

Complex decision making in medical training: key internal and external influences in developing practical wisdom
DiscussionThe implications of this model are considered in relation to postgraduate training of doctors. The importance of training doctors to be self ‐regulated learners in learning environments that support their development is highlighted. Aspects of the clinical learning environment (structure) such as rotation structures, the culture, supervision and feedback can all be enhanced. Self‐efficacy and relational agency, alongside other intern al influences, are key factors in accelerating development of practical wisdom. Other studies have shown that these factors can be improved with targeted interventions. (Source: Medical Education)

Chest X ‐ray evaluation training: impact of normal and abnormal image ratio and instructional sequence
ConclusionsThe proportion of normal images impacted the sensitivity –specificity trade‐off. This trade‐off should be an important consideration for the alignment of training with future practice. Furthermore, the deductive conditions unexpectedly scored higher on specificity when participants took less time per case. An inductive approach did not lead to highe r diagnostic performance, possibly because participants might already have relevant prior knowledge. Deductive approaches are therefore advised for the training of advanced learners. (Source: Medical Education)

Emotion recognition in medical students: effects of facial appearance and care schema activation
ConclusionsMedical students ’ emotion recognition is affected by appearance‐based bias, but such bias may be weakened by techniques that harness medical students’ personal affective/relational and representational resources. Thus, the results provide a basis for designing curricula aimed at challenging implicit negative bias and promoting medical students’ emotion recognition ability starting in the early stages of their education.

Simulation ‐based education for novices: complex learning tasks promote reflective practice
ConclusionsAlthough complex tasks in SCI were more cognitively demanding and took longer to execute, students indicated that they learned more from them than they did from simple tasks. Complex tasks constitute an additional challenge in terms of clinical reasoning and thus provide a more valuable learning experience from the student's perspective. (Source: Medical Education)

Lost in translation? Paradigm conflict at the primary –secondary care interface
ConclusionsWe outline the two paradigms as having distinct epistemologies, identities and practices. Tensions at the primary –secondary care interface can, from a sociocultural perspective, be seen to impact developing identity and day‐to‐day clinical practice issues such as patient safety. We offer possibilities for engaging with paradigm conflict in meaningful ways and suggest potential changes for future educatio nal policy and practice. (Source: Medical Education)

Assessing student academic time use: assumptions, predictions and realities
ConclusionsAlthough curriculum reform efforts may always require that some assumptions be made, time logging can quantify students ’ academic use of time. Although students predict their use of time more accurately than do faculty staff, negligible changes in students’ academic time use despite reported desires to make changes indicate that students’ academic time use may remain inelastic. Educators must consider these fi ndings as they design curricula, identify academic rigour, and establish student expectations of academic time use. (Source: Medical Education)
