Genitourinary training associates (GTAs) are individuals educated to teach medical learners invasive exams and procedures using their own body. Through specified protocols, the GTA teaches exam techniques to students in a supportive environment while giving feedback to the learner to optimize skill acquisition. Additionally, this experience can teach best practices for future provider-patient communication. To help ensure access to GTAs for medical learners, physician assistant (PA) programs should consider developing a GTA training program at their institution. The purpose of this article is to outline the necessary steps to educate GTAs and develop a GTA training program.

Case-Based Virtual Reality Simulation for Severe Pelvic Trauma Clinical Skill Training in Medical Students: Design and Pilot Study.
JMIR Med Educ
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Background: Teaching severe pelvic trauma poses a significant challenge in orthopedic surgery education due to the necessity of both clinical reasoning and procedural operational skills for mastery. Traditional methods of instruction, including theoretical teaching and mannequin practice, face limitations due to the complexity, the unpredictability of treatment scenarios, the scarcity of typical cases, and the abstract nature of traditional teaching, all of which impede students' knowledge acquisition.
Objective: This study aims to introduce a novel experimental teaching methodology for severe pelvic trauma, integrating virtual reality (VR) technology as a potent adjunct to existing teaching practices.

Background: Subspecialty fellows are a unique group of trainees for whom there currently exist few opportunities to pursue formal training as clinician-educators, as singular fellowship programs often face significant obstacles to implementing such coursework.
Objective: To develop, implement, and assess a clinician-educator course for fellows from multiple subspecialty fellowships at a single large academic medical center.
Methods: Our course, entitled Fellow as Clinician-Educator, was initiated across numerous fellowship programs from August 2021 to April 2023 at University of California San Diego Health.

Background: There is an evolving focus on interprofessional education (IPE) to promote teamwork and collaboration in health professions education. Studies in medical students have shown that exposure to IPE leads to perceived improvements in interprofessional communication, effective work in healthcare teams, and understanding of professional limitations. Most research focuses on IPE in undergraduate medical education; less is known about how this functions in graduate medical education.
