[Translated article] High-risk pediatric medications: A listing proposal by interdisciplinary consensus technique.

Introduction: Pediatric patients are more likely to experience medication-related errors and serious associated harms. The identification of high-risk medications (HRM) and their study in special populations, such as children with excess body weight (EBW), is a part of safety improvement strategies.

Objective: To generate, through a consensus technique structured by an interdisciplinary group of pediatricians and hospital pharmacists, an operational and updated list of HRM for hospital use in children over 2 years of age.

A novel simulator model and standardized assessment tools for fine needle aspiration cytology training.

Objectives: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is an invaluable diagnostic procedure for evaluation of lesions; however, acquisition of diagnostic material is dependent on the skill of the practitioner. We report a novel patient simulator for teaching the FNA procedure and structured assessment tools for educators and learners.

Methods: We created a novel simulator model for FNA training, employed a standardized teaching module, and assessed procedure utility in medical students.
