Mental Health Considerations for International Students.

Collectively, universities and other tertiary education providers globally, attract significant numbers of international students each year. However, the extent and significance of the benefits derived by the host society from this international mobility is often misunderstood, or at best, underestimated. International students commonly provide multiple benefits to the financial and cultural health of the host institution and country but the economic benefit (for the host) is typically the primary consideration.

A Cognitive Load Theory Simulation Design to Assess and Manage Deteriorating Patients.

Background Cognitive load theory (CLT) uses an understanding of brain architecture for educational design, with implications for simulation. Since working memory is limited, minimising extraneous cognitive load improves learning of new tasks (intrinsic load) and use of existing knowledge (germane load). This study evaluates the effectiveness of low-fidelity simulation (LFS) utilising CLT principles in the assessment and management of the deteriorating patient (AMDP).
