Distance simulation in surgical education.
Surgery
January 2025
Experimental Surgery and Simulation Center, Faculty of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile; Department of Digestive Surgery, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile. Electronic address:
Distance and remote simulation have emerged as vital tools in modern surgical education, offering solutions to challenges such as limited operating hours, growing clinical demands, and the need for consistent, high-quality training. This review examines the benefits, limitations, and strategies for implementing sustainable distance simulation, structured around 3 foundational pillars: (1) effective hardware and infrastructure, including simulators and realistic scenarios that enable trainees to develop essential skills; (2) validated training programs grounded in educational theory with a clear focus on skill transfer and predictive validity; and (3) timely access to effective feedback. Distance simulation permits adaptable, scalable training environments, but the addition of remote and deferred feedback has further broadened its impact, helping to overcome the challenges posed by faculty availability and clinician time constraints.

December 2024
Internal Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Galveston, TX USA.
Objective: Describe a student coproduced curriculum to lay the foundation for professional identity development (PID).
Methods: Occurring during the introductory course of medical school, the Grab Bag Activity (GBA) is coordinated by upper-level students to offer informal, self-selected activities sponsored by upper-level students or faculty for incoming first-year students. Various levels of relationship are fostered: student to peer, student to near-peer, and student to faculty.
Internal Medicine Student Chief Elective.
Clin Teach
February 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Division of General and Geriatric Medicine, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas, USA.
Background: With increasing patient care responsibilities, administrative work and education demands, physicians may find it challenging to provide high-quality and engaging clinical education to third-year medical students on clerkships. Fourth-year students in the role of near-peer teachers can help fill this role, but they often also have competing responsibilities.
Approach: A 4-week Internal Medicine Student Chief (Student Chief) elective was created, designed such that fourth-year students would apply for dedicated time to serve as student leaders, coaches and educators for the third-year students on the Internal Medicine clerkship.
Development & Evaluation of a Teaching Assistant Institute to Build Near-Peer Teaching Capacity in Delivering Inclusive Public Health Education.

Teaching assistants (TAs) play a significant role in students' learning environment and experience but receive limited training in the non-curricular aspects of teaching and student support. Graduate students frequently engage in near-peer teaching, with student teachers with one or more years' experience compared to learners engaged in a structured teaching role. Academic institutions may perpetuate racism and its effects on health through institutional norms and pedagogy; training TAs to foster inclusive learning environments is therefore essential.
