Article Synopsis
- Leadership is becoming essential in medical education to enhance patient care and healthcare team performance, leading to a push for integrating leadership training into curricula.
- A new 1-week leadership course for first-year medical students focused on change management, teamwork, patient safety, and practical leadership through active and engaging teaching methods, moving away from traditional lectures.
- Student feedback revealed a preference for relevant healthcare insights and guest speakers, but dissatisfaction with the course timing and overall effectiveness, suggesting that leadership education should align more closely with medical practice contexts.
Memory processes may be involved in the transition from drug lapses to relapse. This study explored the role of noradrenaline (NA) in reacquisition of place preference, an animal model of relapse that involves the updating of memories about drugs and associated stimuli. Experiments involved 7 phases: habituation, conditioning (1 mg/kg heroin and vehicle; 4 pairings each), test of conditioning (Test I), extinction (vehicle and vehicle; 4 pairings each), test of extinction (Test II), reconditioning (1 mg/kg heroin and vehicle; 1 re-pairing each), and test of reconditioning (Test III).

Rationale: Stress, a powerful precipitant of drug seeking during abstinence, may also accelerate the return to pathological patterns of intake after initial instances of drug reuse.
Objective: To explore the effect of stress on a learning process underlying relapse, this study assessed the effect of yohimbine on reacquisition of oxycodone seeking.
Methods: One hundred thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent place conditioning with oxycodone (2 mg/kg, SC; ×6 days), extinction (vehicle × 6 days), and reconditioning with 0, 0.
