Boot camp approach to surgical residency preparation: feedback from a French university hospital.

Introduction: The transition from medical student to surgical resident is not a simple one. The aim of this study was to report the experience of a university hospital in the organization of the induction course for future surgical residents and the contribution of a video support in the learning of the suture.

Material And Method: We were able to study two consecutive years of students (October 2020 and 2021).

Teaching emergency situations during a psychiatry residency programme using a blended learning approach: a pilot study.

Background: Emergency psychiatry is an essential component in the training of psychiatry residents who are required to make patient-centred orientation decisions. This training calls for specific knowledge as well as skills and attitudes requiring experience. Kolb introduced a theory on experiential learning which suggested that effective learners should have four types of abilities: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation and active experimentation.

Improving Provision of Preanesthetic Information Through Use of the Digital Conversational Agent "MyAnesth": Prospective Observational Trial.

Background: Due to time limitations, the preanesthetic consultation (PAC) is not the best time for patients to integrate information specific to their perioperative care pathway.

Objective: The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital companion on patients' knowledge of anesthesia and their satisfaction after real-life implementation.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, monocentric, comparative study using a before-and-after design.

Development and Evaluation of a Virtual Research Environment to Improve Quality of Care in Overcrowded Emergency Departments: Observational Study.

Background: Despite a wide range of literature on emergency department (ED) overcrowding, scientific knowledge on emergency physicians' cognitive processes coping with overcrowding is limited.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a virtual research environment that will allow us to study the effect of physicians' strategies and behaviors on quality of care in the context of ED overcrowding.

Methods: A simulation-based observational study was conducted over two stages: the development of a simulation model and its evaluation.

Vulvar carcinoma: natural history.

On the basis of our clinical experience and a careful revision of the literature, we have attempted to identify the natural history of vulvar carcinoma by verifying the real evolutive possibility of these lesions, their possible genesis, the latent period between pre-invasive and invasive forms, and some events which seem to play a significant role in the onset of the invasive form in this period. These considerations indicate a new clinical and study approach to carcinoma in situ, which would thus become a pathology characterized by a more precise pathogenetic and evolutive individuality.
