Learning Plan Use in Undergraduate Medical Education: A Scoping Review.

Purpose: How to best support self-regulated learning (SRL) skills development and track trainees' progress along their competency-based medical education learning trajectory is unclear. Learning plans (LPs) may be the answer; however, information on their use in undergraduate medical education (UME) is limited. This study summarizes the literature regarding LP use in UME, explores the student's role in LP development and implementation, and identifies additional research areas.

Protocol for a scoping review study on learning plan use in undergraduate medical education.

Background: The current paradigm of competency-based medical education and learner-centredness requires learners to take an active role in their training. However, deliberate and planned continual assessment and performance improvement is hindered by the fragmented nature of many medical training programs. Attempts to bridge this continuity gap between supervision and feedback through learner handover have been controversial.

Cascade of care for hypertension among apparently healthy and unhealthy individuals of 25-64 years in the Czech Republic.

Background: Despite accessible diagnostics and treatment of hypertension, a high proportion of patients worldwide remain unaware of their diagnosis, and even more remain untreated. Several studies suggest that absence of comorbidities is a predictive factor for unawareness and consequently non-treatment of hypertension. There are only a few studies that have assessed the hypertension prevalence and management among apparently healthy individuals.
