In France, the virtual campus became a pedagogical tool used in the medical education in year 2000. Therefore, it is appropriate to measure the student satisfaction, user of virtual campus. The objective of this research was to develop a student satisfaction instrument adapted to the medical field. Based on the literature, we obtained 36-item questionnaire, using 5-point Likert-type scale. 80 students in the Faculty of Medicine at the Nantes University participated to this survey. In this study, two analyses were conducted, the first included all the items and the second excluded items for which a high rate of non response were found. The results show that the instrument contains three dimensions: 'self evaluation - tutorial', 'appropriateness of content' and 'user-friendliness'. Nevertheless, this exploratory study need to be validated with a greater sample of students.

Background: It is challenging to teach the complexity of the doctor-patient relationship through attitude, ethics, and communication (AETCOM) modules, particularly without being formally trained and especially to first-year medical students who do not interact directly with patients. The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of trigger films (TFs) or short movie clips as a teaching-learning tool to train undergraduate medical students on various aspects of doctor-patient relationships.
Methods: Two modules on various aspects of the doctor-patient relationship were developed using TFs and written case studies and implemented on Phase Ⅰ medical students.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of a virtual rubber dam isolation training system in enhancing preclinical dental education.
Methods: A total of 28 Grade 4 undergraduate dental students were randomly divided into two groups: a virtual simulation priority group and a conventional phantom-head priority group. The virtual simulation priority group underwent virtual simulation training initially, followed by conventional phantom-head training.

Background: The insertion of a tracheostomy is an established technique used to wean patients off ventilatory support, manage secretions in complex conditions, and as a potentially life-saving procedure to bypass upper airway obstruction. Life-threatening complications during aftercare are not uncommon and may be influenced by a lack of education of carers or healthcare providers of children and young people living with a tracheostomy. Education programmes designed and supported by the National Tracheostomy Safety Project are effective, but resources are not available to educate the workforce at scale.

Objective: Community-engaged immersive rural experiences were limited during the COVID-19 pandemic when online learning was instigated across medical institutions globally. This study aimed to explore the impact of online learning on medical students' satisfaction levels and intentions to practice in a rural area after graduation.
Design, Setting And Participants: We conducted a natural quasi-experimental longitudinal retrospective cross-sectional study during 2011-2022 for all Australian domestic medical students who undertook a Rural and Remote Medicine (RRM) placement at the University of Queensland.
