It's all about the patients: a shift in medical students' approach to learning during a novel distributed integrated clinical rotation.

Introduction: To ensure that pre-final year medical students at Stellenbosch University were able to resume clinical training during the COVID-19 pandemic, a 12-week integrated rotation was introduced, during which students were distributed across a widespread training platform in two provinces of South Africa, utilizing a range of health care facilities in both rural and urban areas, rather than the central academic hospital (CAH) in which they would have been doing clerkships. Called the Integrated Distributed Engagement to Advance Learning (IDEAL) rotation, this clerkship was based on supervised engagement in healthcare services, focusing on patient-based clinical training, self-regulated learning and student participation as integral members of clinical teams. The success of this emergency intervention has led to its formal incorporation into the medical curriculum.

A Retrospective Cohort Study Examining the Validation of the Modified Duke Activity Status Index in the Non-cardiac Surgical Population.

Purpose: We aimed to ascertain if the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) and its simplified variants predict 30-day mortality and myocardial injury after major non-cardiac surgery in at-risk patients.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: We included 4,199 patients to validate the DASI and its variants in predicting the same composite outcome in patients with risk factors for coronary artery disease.

Medical school selection is a sociohistorical embedded activity: A comparison of five countries.

Introduction: The medical school selection literature comes mostly from a few countries in the Global North and offers little opportunity to consider different ways of thinking and doing. Our aim, therefore, was to critically consider selection practices and their sociohistorical influences in our respective countries (Brazil, China, Singapore, South Africa and the UK), including how any perceived inequalities are addressed.

Methods: This paper summarises many constructive dialogues grounded in the idea of he er butong () (harmony with diversity), learning about and from each other.
