The 2023 Orthopedic Research Society's international consensus meeting on musculoskeletal infection: Summary from the in vitro section.

Antimicrobial strategies for musculoskeletal infections are typically first developed with in vitro models. The In Vitro Section of the 2023 Orthopedic Research Society Musculoskeletal Infection international consensus meeting (ICM) probed our state of knowledge of in vitro systems with respect to bacteria and biofilm phenotype, standards, in vitro activity, and the ability to predict in vivo efficacy. A subset of ICM delegates performed systematic reviews on 15 questions and made recommendations and assessment of the level of evidence that were then voted on by 72 ICM delegates.

Online Interactive Flipped Classroom Teaching in Pediatrics for Medical Undergraduates.

Objectives: To introduce online flipped classroom teaching for medical undergraduates in Pediatrics and to assess students' engagement and satisfaction with the students and faculty with the flipped classroom teaching method.

Methods: An interventional education study was conducted on online flipped classrooms for final-year medical undergraduates. The core team of faculty members was identified, students and faculty were sensitized, and pre-reading material and feedback forms were validated.

Assessment of clinical and virological outcomes of rural and urban populations: COVID-19.

Objective: To assess the clinical and virological status in urban and rural populations.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak for a period of six months. Upper respiratory tract (URT) specimens including nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs were collected from the patients and their contacts and processed by RT-PCR technique for COVID-19 detection.

Approach to Handling a Problem Resident.

Many medical postgraduate teaching programs have residents with professional and personal problems that may limit their performance. A Problem resident is the one who does not meet the expectations of the training program owing to deficits in knowledge, skill or attitude. Medical administration and faculty of every institution must have a system that is sensitized to handle a difficult learner.
