The objective of this study was to investigate how human gross anatomy was taught in entry-level occupational therapy programs throughout the United States and evaluate faculty perspectives on its teaching.

Despite the importance of family planning (FP) care, many medical schools do not currently offer formal education in this area, and students are unable to meet associated competency standards prior to graduation.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore students' motivations in pursuing FP electives throughout the United States, their experiences during these courses, and any impact of these rotations on their plans for future practice.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates what people waiting in emergency departments know about how the ED works and how well they understand the hospital process.
- A survey of 544 patients revealed that while many had a primary care physician and understood some ED concepts like triage, a significant portion desired more education, especially regarding wait times and ED functions.
- The findings indicate that educational materials should cater to patients' interests, particularly through handouts and videos, while highlighting the need for improved knowledge among minority groups.
