The Master Adaptive Clinician Educator: A Framework for Future Educational Leaders in Academic Medicine.

Medical education continues to evolve with technologic advances, cultural changes, and progress in the application of learning theories. One example is Cutrer's concept of the Master Adaptive Learner (MAL), where the trainee self-directs learning and innovates to maintain a level of expertise in a domain. We suggest that this concept can be applied alongside ideas of adaptive and teacher expertise to represent the medical educator of the future-the Master Adaptive Clinician Educator (MACE).

Effectiveness of a Novel Global Telemedicine Curriculum for Medical Students.

Background: The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine collaborated with The Addis Clinic to create a global telemedicine elective for fourth-year medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The elective aimed to promote cross-cultural understanding by providing unique, hands-on telemedicine experience.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness of the telemedicine elective, four of five medical students and 11 of 12 Kenyan clinical officers completed one-on-one interviews and surveys.

Symptoms of depression, but not PTSD, influence cognitive performance in healthy Army National Guard Soldiers.

Introduction: Research suggests that comorbid depression and PTSD may contribute to cognitive impairment. However, few studies have explored this dynamic in military personnel who report only subclinical symptoms of PTSD and depression.

Methods: Army National Guard Soldiers (ARNG; N = 1415) completed the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM), the PTSD Checklist (PCL), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).
