Knowledge attainment, learning approaches, and self-perceived study burnout among European veterinary students.

Introduction: This study investigates the relationship between approaches to learning, self-perceived study burnout, and the level of knowledge among veterinary students. Veterinary educational programs are under regular development and would benefit greatly from detailed feedback on students' knowledge, proficiency, influencing factors, and coping mechanisms.

Methods: The VetRepos consortium developed and calibrated an item repository testing knowledge across the entire veterinary curriculum.

Development of a shared item repository for progress testing in veterinary education.

Introduction: Progress testing in education is an assessment principle for the measurement of students' progress over time, e.g., from start to graduation.

Etiology of Chronic Liver Disease in Ethiopia: A Case Control Study with Special Reference to Viral Hepatitis and Alcohol.

Introduction: Chronic diseases of the liver are a global health problem with high morbidity and mortality. Viral hepatitis is the predominant cause for liver disease in low and middle-income countries. Viral hepatitis is also frequent in high-income countries but mainly as a complication to drug abuse or iatrogenic to treatment.

Simulation based virtual learning environment in medical genetics counseling: an example of bridging the gap between theory and practice in medical education.

Background: Simulation based learning environments are designed to improve the quality of medical education by allowing students to interact with patients, diagnostic laboratory procedures, and patient data in a virtual environment. However, few studies have evaluated whether simulation based learning environments increase students' knowledge, intrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy, and help them generalize from laboratory analyses to clinical practice and health decision-making.

Methods: An entire class of 300 University of Copenhagen first-year undergraduate students, most with a major in medicine, received a 2-h training session in a simulation based learning environment.
