Measuring teacher identity of physicians - a validation study of a questionnaire instrument
CONCLUSION: We suggest that when assessing teacher identity in physicians, all items should be constructed to allow for responses, even from physicians who are presently not actively involved in teaching. The scales benefited from categorizing items based on the continuum of teacher identity as outlined by van Lankveld et al. (2021).PMID:38525820 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2333618 (Source: Medical Education Online)

Evaluating the domains of generalism and equity, diversity and inclusion in preclinical simulated cases for targeted curricular improvements
CONCLUSIONS: Quantitative evaluation of simulated cases using specific generalism and EDI scoring tools was successful in generating insight into areas of improvement for teaching cases. This approach identified key content areas for case improvement and identities that are currently underrepresented in teaching cases. Similar approaches could be feasibly used by other medical schools to improve generalism and EDI in teaching cases or other curricular materials.PMID:38516698 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2331852 (Source: Medical Education Online)

Unpacking the perceptions and experiences of student facilitators in interprofessional education: a qualitative study
This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of student facilitators in IPE, contributing to the evolving literature on IPE. A conceptual framework was developed to explore the entire facilitation experience, encompassing the motivations and expectations of student facilitators, their engagement and effectiveness, and the observed achievements. These findings can inform the development of peer teaching training in IPE and stimulate further research in identifying relevant facilitator competencies for optimal delivery of IPE.PMID:38493489 | PMC:PMC10946269 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2330257 (Source: Medical Education Online)

Is medical training solely to blame? Generational influences on the mental health of our medical trainees
DISCUSSION: The two generations 'Y' and 'Z' dominating current medical training showed more stress-related complaints when there is evidence of social media overuse and failure to maintain a work-life balance, while job support counterbalances this, whereas parenting style showed no effect. Measures to enhance medical trainees' mental health may include education about the wise use of social media, encouraging spending more quality social time, and enhancing job support and job control.PMID:38488138 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2329404 (Source: Medical Education Online)

Who needs education on LGBTQIA+ healthcare inclusion?
Med Educ Online. 2024 Dec 31;29(1):2329403. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2024.2329403. Epub 2024 Mar 14.ABSTRACTThe topic of education on healthcare needs and equity of care for LGBTQIA+ populations is an extremely current issue. There is a demand for education on these topics not only from medical and other health sciences students but also from established healthcare professionals. Given this widespread educational deficiency, it is natural to ask whether the teaching class is prepared to satisfy these requests or in turn needs training on these issues and above all whether it is capable of transmitting attention and sensitivit...
