Like many institutions around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted us to shift our summer 2020 in-person undergraduate experiential learning program to a remote, virtual format. Here, we present our observations, summarized in 10 best practices, for moving a STEM-focused research experience for undergraduates, experiential learning program or research-based course online. We will also discuss how our program was originally designed and implemented, and how we adapted our activities to deliver an at-home research experience that maintained student engagement, mentorship, and a shared sense of community.

Background: Women undergoing breast cancer surgery frequently experience postsurgical pain and fatigue, which reduces their quality of life. Although psychological factors have been shown to play a role in predicting postsurgical outcomes, the subacute recovery phase often remains underexplored. In this secondary analysis of data from a randomised controlled trial, we sought to investigate the predictive role of negative affect and experiential avoidance on postsurgical symptoms during both acute and subacute recovery.

Background: Multimorbidity and patient complexity are increasing, yet undergraduate medical education curricula remain dominated by single disease frameworks, where students are often shielded from exposure to this complexity. Why this shielding continues to occur is understandable; however, this may leave graduates feeling underprepared for real-world practice. This study aimed to explore medical students' experiences of encountering, managing and dealing with complexity and to provide informed recommendations for integrating complexity into clinical teaching.

A line isolation monitor (LIM) alarm is a device in the operating room to alert personnel to a potential fault in equipment or the electrical system. Typically, an LIM alarm is related to an electrical fault in a piece of operating room equipment. We present a case where the hazard current by the LIM briefly decreased, then continued to climb after unplugging equipment.

Introduction: Peer support workers-people with a significant lived and living experience of a social or health condition-use their experiential knowledge and obtain training to help and care for others. They are integrated in different clinical settings, including those for people experiencing homelessness. Most research on peer support implementation in homelessness has not considered the of the implementation, particularly in periods of crisis.
