Purpose: This study presents the steps taken to develop and collect initial validity evidence for the Shame Frequency Questionnaire in Medical Students.
Method: The instrument was based on a 7-step survey design; validity evidence was collected from content, response process, internal structure, and relationship to other variables. A literature review and qualitative interviews led to the design of the initial 16-item scale.
Purpose: Medical education relies on clinical supervision for critical functions, including trainee assessment and ensuring patient safety. Yet, there is substantial variance in supervision, which has led to calls for a shared definition of the concept and guidelines to inform practice. provided these desired elements and is highly cited, suggesting that translation and utilization of the Guide's knowledge is suboptimal.

Grit, or passion and perseverance for long-term goals, has been studied in high-performing and elite military units and found to be predictive of successful completion of training in adverse conditions. The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) graduates military medical leaders who make up a significant portion of the Military Health System physician workforce.

- The study examines the physical and psychological well-being of military medical students at the Uniformed Services University, highlighting how these factors impact their career intentions in both military service and medicine over the course of four years.
- A survey was conducted involving 678 medical students, assessing their well-being through various metrics, including the Medical Student Well-being Index and burnout measures, with results analyzed using statistical methods.
- Findings revealed that while overall well-being scores were comparable to other medical students, there were significant differences between pre-clerkship and clinical students, with the latter expressing less interest in continuing military service and showing more uncertainty about their medical career choices.
Background: Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) assessments measure learners' competence with an entrustment or supervisory scale. Designed for workplace-based assessment EPA assessments have also been proposed for undergraduate medical education (UME), where assessments frequently occur outside the workplace and may be less intuitive, raising validity concerns. This study explored how assessors make entrustment determinations in UME, with additional specific comparison based on familiarity with prior performance in the context of longitudinal student-assessor relationships.
