Objective: Evaluate feasibility and effectiveness of virtual adaptation of in-person simulation-based empathetic communication training.
Methods: Pediatric interns participated in virtual training session then completed post-session and 3 months follow up surveys.
Results: Self-reported preparedness on the skills all improved significantly. The interns report the educational value as extremely high both immediately after and 3 months after training. 73% of the interns report using the skills at least weekly.
Conclusion: A 1 day virtual simulation-based communication training is feasible, well received, and similarly effective as in-person training.

Background And Purpose: Deep-learning-based automatic segmentation is widely used in radiation oncology to delineate organs-at-risk. Dual-energy CT (DECT) allows the reconstruction of enhanced contrast images that could help with manual and auto-delineation. This paper presents a performance evaluation of a commercial auto-segmentation software on image series generated by a DECT.

Documentation and reflection on temporary or permanent curriculum modifications and their perceived impact on student learning and outcomes is critical. To explore and compare reported curricula changes (academic and fieldwork) during restricted and post-restricted delivery periods together with the perceived impact on learners.

The pharmaceutical industry constantly strives to improve drug development processes to reduce costs, increase efficiencies, and enhance therapeutic outcomes for patients. Model-Informed Drug Development (MIDD) uses mathematical models to simulate intricate processes involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Artificial intelligence (AI), encompassing techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, and Generative AI, offers powerful tools and algorithms to efficiently identify meaningful patterns, correlations, and drug-target interactions from big data, enabling more accurate predictions and novel hypothesis generation.
