Within urgent care scenarios in obstetrics and gynecology, there is little educational development surrounding sexual assault simulation scenarios, which reveals a need for increased rehearsal opportunities within medical education. Simulation-based medical education using mannequins, standardized patients, and anatomical silicone models have been suggested as a means to improve such parameters by providing realistic training for residents in the rehearsal of sexual assault scenarios and the application of forensic evidence kits. However, sexual assault training is often only provided to emergency medicine physicians and clinical staff and is not currently a mandatory component of obstetrics and gynecology residency programs across most national academic institutions.

: Children's health is a current concern and data suggests that poor fundamental movement skills (FMS) could be associated with poor health, which may or may not be mediated by low physical activity level. However, tools to assess FMS have not been standardized, and could consequently lead to different associations between FMS and health indicators. : The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the associations between FMS and health indicators using two different FMS measurement tools often used in Canada.
