According to self-determination theory (SDT), environments which support the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness will facilitate autonomous motivation, learning, and wellness. On the other hand, environments which introduce external controls and power dynamics into the equation will do the opposite. Educational studies support these principles, yet most have focused on learners' need satisfaction as a passive process (e.g., via support or hindrance by educators), rather than the agentic pursuit that SDT emphasizes. In this commentary, I draw on my experience as a practicing physician and SDT researcher, and focus on how medical learners can "grab" more autonomy when the learning environment does not support it. I present a hypothetical case of a preceptor whose teaching style is controlling and unfortunately well-known to medical learners. I then unpack the case and outline different strategies that medical learners can use to navigate this type of interpersonal conflict.

First, Do No Harm (to the One You Train).
Linacre Q

Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Unlabelled: or "first, do no harm" is perhaps the most well-known aphorism in the culture of medical education. While its application to patients is well known, the injunction can also be read with medical trainees in mind. Teaching physicians have an obligation to recognize their role as moral teachers and coaches, who must consider "first, do no harm" not only when considering their patients but also when weighing the moral formation of their trainees, especially in a season in which medical educators are attempting to clarify the "harms" of medical training.

Optical techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), contain high potential for the development of non-invasive wearable systems for evaluating cerebral vascular condition in aging, due to their portability and ability to monitor real-time changes in cerebral hemodynamics. In this study, thirty-six healthy adults were measured by single channel fNIRS to explore differences between two age groups using machine learning (ML). The subjects, measured during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Oulu University Hospital, were divided into young (age ≤ 32) and elderly (age ≥ 57) groups.
