Achieving Digital Medicine Learning Outcomes Through an Interdisciplinary Course: A Pilot Study.

Incorporating digital medicine into medical education equips students for the evolving landscape of healthcare. This study aimed to assess a digital medicine course developed at Bielefeld University by evaluating student attainment of learning outcomes outlined by Foadi et al. In the course, the students designed a digital application for various medical conditions, taking into account interdisciplinary factors.

Teaching Digital Medicine to Undergraduate Medical Students With an Interprofessional and Interdisciplinary Approach: Development and Usability Study.

Background: An integration of digital medicine into medical education can help future physicians shape the digital transformation of medicine.

Objective: We aim to describe and evaluate a newly developed course for teaching digital medicine (the Bielefeld model) for the first time.

Methods: The course was held with undergraduate medical students at Medical School Ostwestfalen-Lippe at Bielefeld University, Germany, in 2023 and evaluated via pretest-posttest surveys.

Flipped Classroom: Improved team performance during resuscitation training through interactive pre-course content - a cluster-randomised controlled study.

Background: Resuscitation is a team effort, and it is increasingly acknowledged that team cooperation requires training. Staff shortages in many healthcare systems worldwide, as well as recent pandemic restrictions, limit opportunities for collaborative team training. To address this challenge, a learner-centred approach known as flipped learning has been successfully implemented.

Mixed Reality as a Teaching Tool for Medical Students in Neurosurgery.

: Simulation-based learning within neurosurgery provides valuable and realistic educational experiences in a safe environment, enhancing the current teaching model. Mixed reality (MR) simulation can deliver a highly immersive experience through head-mounted displays and has become one of the most promising teaching tools in medical education. We aimed to identify whether an MR neurosurgical simulation module within the setting of an undergraduate neurosurgical hands-on course could improve the satisfaction of medical students.

Clinical and imaging factors that can predict contagiousness of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Background: Knowledge on predicting pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) contagiosity in the hospital admission setting is limited. The objective was to assess clinical and radiological criteria to predict PTB contagiosity.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 7 clinical, 4 chest X-ray (CXR) and 5 computed tomography (CT) signs in 299 PTB patients admitted to an urban tertiary hospital from 2008 to 2016.
