Evaluating ChatGPT's moral competence in health care-related ethical problems.

Objectives: Artificial intelligence tools such as Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) have been used for many health care-related applications; however, there is a lack of research on their capabilities for evaluating morally and/or ethically complex medical decisions. The objective of this study was to assess the moral competence of ChatGPT.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed between May 2023 and July 2023 using scenarios from the Moral Competence Test (MCT).

Ethical Considerations of Biopsies in Early-Stage Pancreatic Cancer.

Purpose: The standard of care in resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has evolved to include neoadjuvant treatment before surgical resection. Current guidelines call for obtaining histologic tissue diagnosis via endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration before administration of neoadjuvant therapy, which differ from guidelines discouraging delay in surgical resection for a biopsy.

Materials And Methods: Whether to proceed with treatment before a biopsy confirms that malignancy is a nuanced decision and includes considerations of physical and psychological risks entailed in both pursuing and forgoing a biopsy.

Engaging Institutional Stakeholders to Develop and Implement Guidelines for Recruiting Participants in Research Studies Using Social Media: Mixed Methods, Multi-Phase Process.

Objective: This study aims to provide replicable procedures for developing and implementing guidelines for using social media to recruit participants in research studies.

Self-reported physician attitudes and behaviours towards incarcerated patients.

Physicians anecdotally report inquiring about incarcerated patients' crimes and their length of sentence, which has potential implications for the quality of care these patients receive. However, there is minimal research on how a physician's awareness of their patient's crimes/length of sentence impacts physician behaviours and attitudes. We performed regression modelling on a 27-question survey to analyse physician attitudes and behaviours towards incarcerated patients.

Geriatric Care Boot Camp Series: Interprofessional education for a new training paradigm.

Interprofessional education of health care professionals caring for older adults is critical to address the unique needs of geriatric patients. An interprofessional education program - the Geriatric Care Boot Camp Series ("Series") - was designed for health care professionals to fill this education gap. The program consisted of three half-day, intensive boot camps conducted over a one-year period.

Ensuring Representativeness in Competencies for Research Coordinators.

Providing educational programs designed to promote clinical research coordinators' (CRCs') implementation of competency skills is essential to workforce development; however, little is known about how programs address CRCs' needs. The purpose of this study was to assess CRCs' experiences in a six-month course. Using focus group methods, six participants revealed how the training assisted them in daily work.

Geriatric care boot cAMP: an interprofessional education program for healthcare professionals.

In response to the need for interprofessional geriatrics education, a half-day geriatric care boot camp for healthcare professionals was held that covered core concepts in geriatric medicine: delirium and dementia, medication management, palliative care, ethics, and a general overview of older adults. Aspects of the curriculum focused on interprofessional education, and the attendees and presenters were healthcare professionals from a wide variety of fields. Primary objectives were to determine changes in knowledge of core concepts in geriatrics and level of comfort in caring for older adults.

Teaching Bioethics at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

This article describes a two-pronged, pilot bioethics education program implemented at a historically Black college/university to determine the interest in bioethics education and begin increasing the program's visibility. The pilot program included a Train-the-Trainer (TtT) component for selected faculty members and a simultaneously-running film- and-speaker series for the entire campus.
