Skin Tear Management: A Multidisciplinary Education Project.

Objective: To identify the number of skin tears present at the authors' facility and evaluate a multidisciplinary educational intervention to support treatment of skin tears.

Methods: The authors determined the prevalence of skin tears from an analysis of a wound audit dataset at Baycrest Health Sciences and compared it with the literature to inform the aims of the educational intervention. They developed an educational module and presented it to physicians and students at separate in-person sessions and to clinical care staff at a virtual session.

The Aging Care 5Ms Competencies: A Modified Delphi Study to Revise Medical Student Competencies for the Care of Older Adults.

Purpose: To revise the 2009 Canadian Geriatrics Society (CGS) Core Competencies in the Care of Older Persons for Canadian Medical Students by applying current frameworks and using a modified Delphi process.

Method: The working group chose the Geriatric 5Ms model and CanMEDS framework to develop and structure the competencies. National (i.

Designing a decision aid for cancer prevention: a qualitative study.

Objectives: Australian guidelines recommend people aged 50-70 years old consider taking low-dose aspirin to reduce their risk of colorectal cancer. The aim was to design sex-specific decision aids (DAs) with clinician and consumer input, including expected frequency trees (EFTs) to communicate the risks and benefits of taking aspirin.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with clinicians.

Clinicians' opinions on recommending aspirin to prevent colorectal cancer to Australians aged 50-70 years: a qualitative study.

Objectives: Australian guidelines recommend all adults aged 50-70 years old without existing contraindications consider taking low-dose aspirin (100-300 mg per day) for at least 2.5 years to reduce their risk of developing colorectal cancer. We aimed to explore clinicians' practices, knowledge, opinions, and barriers and facilitators to the implementation of these new guidelines.

Using simulation to explore medical students' understanding of integrated care within geriatrics.

Background: Given the increasing evidence and expansion of integrated care (IC) in healthcare, new IC curricula introduced early in undergraduate medical education (UME) are needed. Building on a pilot IC simulation called "Getting to Know Patients' System of Care" (GPS-Care), we aimed to explore students' understanding of patients' complex physical and mental health needs, and to increase our understanding of how students learned in this simulation.

Methods: 177 of 259 first-year medical students participated in GPS-Care at the University of Toronto.
