This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows: (1) What kinds of mutual-help organizations for drug use disorders have been studied with evidence available in the empirical literature? (2) What is the nature of the evidence with regard to the different types of mutual-help organizations?-(a) To what extent are these entities shown to help initiate, sustain, and enhance rates of remission from drug use disorders and improve other functional outcomes when the available evidence is subjected to rigorous scientific scrutiny? (b) To what extent do different mutual-help organizations confer differential benefit and to whom, how, and over what period? (c) To what extent have cost benefit or cost effectiveness studies indicated that these entities are cost-effective?

- The study aimed to analyze Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) created by pediatric subinterns to understand their learning and assessment strategies, along with the barriers and facilitators to their learning.
- Researchers examined 204 ILPs across 10 US medical schools, focusing on 850 learning objectives and grouping the findings into categories like rationale, learning strategies, and challenges.
- The results showed students were committed to self-directed learning, used a variety of creative strategies, and relied on self-reflection, while also experiencing support or obstacles from their learning environments, providing valuable insights for educators.
Article Synopsis
- - Physicians are expected to lead complex healthcare teams, necessitating additional skills beyond clinical training, which is addressed by the Physician Executive Leadership (PEL) Plus program that combines theory and practical projects.
- - Implemented during the 2018-20 academic years for first- and second-year medical students, PEL Plus utilized assessments to measure knowledge gains and gather student feedback to evaluate the program's effectiveness.
- - Results showed significant improvement in knowledge acquisition, with positive student perceptions about the curriculum, indicating that PEL Plus is an effective model for integrating leadership and management training into medical education.
Objective: To describe the role and perspectives of pediatrics clerkship directors (CDs) who provide advice to students who apply to Pediatrics residency training programs.
Methods: We developed a survey based on previous studies and data from the 2012 National Residency Matching Program- Program Director (NRMP-PD) survey. Topics included CDs roles and confidence in advising, perspectives on applicants' competitiveness, and resources used to inform advising practice.
