Introduction: Medical students experience higher rates of distress and burnout compared with their age-similar peers overall. Coaching has been proposed as one means of combating distress and burnout within the medical profession. The purpose of this systematic review is to synthesise the current evidence on the effects of coaching interventions on medical student well-being, including engagement, resilience, quality of life, professional fulfilment and meaning in work and distress, including burnout, anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Methods And Analysis: We will conduct a systematic review of interventional and observational comparative studies that assess the effects of coaching interventions on well-being, including engagement, resilience, quality of life, professional fulfilment and meaning in work and distress, including burnout, anxiety and depressive symptoms among undergraduate medical students internationally. We will search PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase (OVID), PsycINFO (OVID), Scopus, ERIC, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (OVID) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (OVID) from their respective inception dates using the following search terms: (medical students OR medical student OR undergraduate medical education) AND (coach OR coaching OR coaches). Studies in any language will be eligible. Studies that report one or more outcomes of distress or well-being among medical students who receive a coaching intervention will be included. Data on participant and intervention characteristics, outcomes and instruments used will be collected as well as quality/risk of bias assessments. Two reviewers will screen studies against the inclusion criteria and perform data extraction. We will conduct a narrative synthesis, with meta-analysis if evidence permits quantitative pooling of results. Heterogeneity of results across studies according to study design, learner level and study risk of bias will be evaluated, as well as publication bias.
Ethics And Dissemination: Ethical approval is not required for this review. Results will be disseminated by publication in a scientific journal.

Background: Medical students often struggle to engage with and retain complex pharmacology topics during their preclinical education. Traditional teaching methods can lead to passive learning and poor long-term retention of critical concepts.
Objective: This study aims to enhance the teaching of clinical pharmacology in medical school by using a multimodal generative artificial intelligence (genAI) approach to create compelling, cinematic clinical narratives (CCNs).

Objectives: This study sought to assess undergraduate students' knowledge and attitudes surrounding perceived self-efficacy and threats in various common emergencies in communities of higher education.
Methods: Self-reported perceptions of knowledge and skills, as well as attitudes and beliefs regarding education and training, obligation to respond, safety, psychological readiness, efficacy, personal preparedness, and willingness to respond were investigated through 3 representative scenarios via a web-based survey.
Results: Among 970 respondents, approximately 60% reported their university had adequately prepared them for various emergencies while 84% reported the university should provide such training.

Introduction Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common causative agent for cervical cancer (CC) in women. Despite extensive initiatives, the acceptance and implementation of vaccinations have remained inadequate, hindering a significant impact on public health outcomes. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the knowledge, awareness, and practices (KAP) scores of medical and dental students regarding HPV infection and vaccination.

Background And Aim: Young adults, particularly those aged 18-25, exhibit varying perceptions and choices regarding the use of protein supplements (PS). Understanding these perceptions can significantly enhance professional guidance and nutrition education for undergraduate students. This study, conducted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, aims to explore the perceptions of PS use and identify the most popular PS among university students.

Designing effective and preferred teaching practices for undergraduate students are common goals in behavior analytic training programs. A preliminary study by Nava et al. (2019) showed that undergraduate students generally rated peer-generated examples of the principles of behavior analysis as more preferred, relatable, and culturally responsive than traditional textbook examples.
