Background: Suboptimal support for colleagues experiencing discrimination can adversely impact clinician well-being and patient care.
Aim: To describe resident performance and experience during an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) case centered on supporting a trainee facing discrimination to inform enhanced, supportive learning environments.
Setting: Formative, internal medicine OSCE at a simulation center.
Background: The transition to telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed a lack of preexisting telehealth training for clinicians. As a workplace-based simulation methodology designed to improve virtual clinical skills, announced standardized patients (ASPs) may help meet evolving educational needs to sustain quality telehealth care.
Objective: We describe the development and implementation of an ASP program to assess and provide feedback to resident and faculty clinicians in virtual practice, and report on performance, feasibility, and acceptability.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a UK-based prediction model for estimating fat-free mass in children and adolescents across 19 countries outside the UK.
- Involving 5,693 participants aged 4 to 15, the model exhibited strong predictive performance, with R values over 75% in all countries and good calibration of predicted versus actual fat-free mass.
- The researchers found minimal variation in model performance based on gender, age, ethnicity, or national income, and they adjusted the model for different countries to enhance accuracy for future use.
Background: Vaccine hesitancy is challenging for clinicians and of increasing concern since COVID-19 vaccination rollout began. Standardized patients (SPs) provide an ideal method for assessing resident physicians' current skills, providing opportunity to practice and gain immediate feedback, while also informing evaluation of curriculum and training. As such, we designed and implemented an OSCE station where residents were tasked with engaging and educating a vaccine-hesitant patient.

Despite this, the unique communication and technical skills required for virtual encounters are not routinely taught or practiced in graduate medical education (GME) programs.
Objective: To develop an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) case to assess residents' telemedicine-specific skills and identify potential gaps in our residency program's curriculum.
