Exploring the introduction of remote external clinical teaching visits into Australian general practice.

Background And Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way education was delivered. In Australian general practice training, external clinical teaching visits (ECTVs) had to be done remotely. This research explored that phenomenon from the point of view of the participants to answer questions about feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness.

Detection of stellar light from quasar host galaxies at redshifts above 6.

The detection of starlight from the host galaxies of quasars during the reionization epoch (z > 6) has been elusive, even with deep Hubble Space Telescope observations. The current highest redshift quasar host detected, at z = 4.5, required the magnifying effect of a foreground lensing galaxy.

'Feeling like a deer in the headlights': A qualitative study of registrar experience in early general practice training.

Background And Objectives: The journey of becoming a competent general practitioner is, anecdotally, a bumpy ride. The aim of this study was to explore general practice registrars' experiences in their first six-month term as they learn the science, art and trade of general practice.

Method: This study explored the experience of 12 registrars undertaking their first general practice term using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach.

A community-based trial of a psychosocial eHealth intervention for parents of children with cancer.

Background: The Electronic Surviving Cancer Competently Intervention Program (eSCCIP), a psychosocial eHealth intervention for parents and caregivers of children with cancer (parents), was delivered in a community-based psychosocial oncology center. Primary endpoints were intervention acceptability, feasibility, and accessibility, with a secondary exploratory focus on psychosocial outcomes.

Procedure: Oncology therapists in a psychosocial oncology center were trained in eSCCIP delivery.

Otoacoustic emissions: a valid, efficient first-line hearing screen for preschool children.

Background: Normal hearing during the preschool years is essential for speech, language, social, emotional, and preacademic development. Children of low socioeconomic status may be particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of late identification and intervention. While a mass-screening effort focused on preschool children does not have broad support, focused screening remains important to identify children at risk.
