This article proposes a paradigm shift from the competency-based model of clerkship feedback using checklists to a coaching-based, action plan-oriented process that centers on individualized student-oriented goals. Using a student perspective, the authors examine the feedback literature and put forward a proposal to use an impact model whose emphasis is to improve the learning climate for students. Several techniques are reviewed which include goal generation and creation of dynamic action plans.

Methods: A qualitative systematic review of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase was undertaken for studies analyzing the association of sociodemographic factors with measures of PCI outcomes published before July 18, 2021. Study quality assessment tools from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were used to assess for risk of bias.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of biologic medications for treating Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (AIED), which can lead to hearing loss, by reviewing existing literature on their impact on hearing outcomes.
- After screening 174 abstracts, the review included 12 studies, featuring a mix of randomized control trials and cohort studies, and identified seven different biologic drugs targeting specific cellular pathways.
- The findings showed variable effects of these medications on hearing loss, with some improving related symptoms like vertigo and tinnitus, but the overall evidence is inconclusive, highlighting the need for more comprehensive research.
Background: The use of smartphones in the United States has more than doubled since 2011. Mobile phone applications have versatile functions in ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and plastic surgery, such as increasing patient engagement in treatment, decreasing no-shows to appointments, and providing patient education. They also provide practical advantages to the clinician, including supplementing an otoscope, laryngoscope, or ophthalmoscope.

Methods: Using data on 266,303 BD hospitalizations between 2010 and 2014 from the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, we obtained medication noncompliance rates stratified by demographics and CUD.
Objectives: Pediatric cochlear implantation (CI) is a multistep process, which exposes a healthcare system's potential weaknesses in ability to deliver timely care to deaf children. The current systematic review aims to determine the sociodemographic disparities that predict pediatric CI access and use among CI candidates and recipients across the world. We hypothesize that sociodemographic factors independently influence CI access and use within a given country.

This study seeks to illuminate the financial relationships that the pharmaceutical, medical device, biologics, and medical supply industries maintained with colon and rectal surgeons across the United States from 2014 to 2018.
Materials And Methods: We extracted and analyzed all colon and rectal surgeon data from the Open Payments Data for 2014-2018 using Microsoft Excel 2018 and JMP PRO 13.
Objective: To compile and analyze the available literature regarding the use of text-messaging for communicating with patients in otolaryngology.
Study Design: Narrative review.
Methods: Using the PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsychINFO databases, a review of the literature examining for articles that discuss the usage and applications of text-messaging services in otolaryngology-based practice was conducted.
