How do we educate medical students interprofessionally about patient safety? A scoping review.

Medical education has an important role in developing attitudes, behaviors and cultures that support safe care. Increasingly, however, research has argued for a more interprofessional approach to be taken. This scoping review examines the design and impact of interprofessional education interventions involving medical students that focus on patient safety.

The early experiences of Physician Associate students in the UK: A regional cross-sectional study investigating factors associated with engagement.

Background: The number of physician associates (PAs) training and working in the UK has increased over the last few years following the proliferation of postgraduate courses. Understanding early experiences and what impacts on engagement is important if we are to appropriately support this relatively new professional group.

Methods: This paper reports on a cross-sectional analysis of the first year of data from a prospective 10-year longitudinal cohort study.

Implementing the Safe and Effective Clinical Outcomes (SECO) simulation to prepare physician associate students for practice.

The number of physician associates (PAs) training in the United Kingdom is rising dramatically, yet the approaches to teaching this new professional group are yet to be examined. We set out to determine if and how the 'Safe and Effective Clinical Outcomes' (SECO) simulation training could help this new group of students to develop skills around conducting a consultation in primary care.Six clinics were designed and implemented over three academic years (2016-2018) in a clinical skills simulation centre in a university hospital.
