In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many in person undergraduate research experiences (UREs) to pivot to remote online training. To investigate how the COVID-19 quarantine disrupted student URE outcomes over time, the current study examines Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) Promoting Opportunities for Diversity in Education and Research (PODER) URE outcomes across different platforms (in-person, remote, and hybrid models) by comparing student survey data from 2019 to 2021. Participants consisted of three cohorts: 2019 (n = 26 students), 2020 (n = 33), 2021 (n = 34). The BUILD PODER Summer JumpStart program (SJS), which aims to increase diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) by recruiting mostly underrepresented students, was conducted in person in 2019, remotely in 2020 and using a hybrid model in 2021. All students completed an online survey on the first and last day of the four-week SJS program. We used one-way and mixed ANOVA models to analyze Cohort, Time (pre-test vs. post-test scores), and interaction of Cohort and Time for Research Self-Efficacy, Sense of Belonging, Mentor Relationship, Mentee Knowledge, Health, Stress, and Student Program Satisfaction measures. Despite the platform changes, student scores increased significantly over time for all measures. There was a significant main effect of Time for Research Self-Efficacy, Sense of Belonging, Mentor Relationship, Mentee Knowledge, Health Assessment, and Stress Management. Findings indicate that URE programs that are implemented remotely and using a hybrid format can provide students with experiences similar to in-person URE programs. In addition, remote UREs may provide added benefits compared to in-person programs. For instance, remote UREs could engage more historically minoritized students, who may experience barriers to access, such as work/family commitments, financial constraints, and geographic limitations.

Introduction Transitioning from a medical student to a foundation doctor presents numerous challenges, particularly in managing on-call duties that require quick decision-making, clinical skills, and prioritisation under pressure. The Simulation On-Call (SOC) program was developed as a one-day, immersive simulation event to equip final-year medical students with the skills and confidence needed for these responsibilities. Methods The SOC program is an annual event held for final-year medical students at the Royal Blackburn Hospital, Blackburn, UK.

Background First-year medical students may find it challenging to integrate complex physiological concepts, particularly neuromuscular physiology. While concept mapping has shown promise in medical education, its specific application in teaching intricate physiological mechanisms still needs to be explored. With this background, the objective of the study was to assess the feasibility of using concept mapping among first-year medical students and to explore the perception of students about concept mapping as an educational tool.

Background: The upcoming changes in digital technology have motivated health professionals to be lifelong learners and be updated with the recent trends. Self-directed learning (SDL) is one of the approaches for making undergraduate students health/ profession students lifelong learners. Moreover, the SDL approach allows learners to work in a team and gain social skills.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) within the intensive care unit (ICU) is common but evidence is limited on longer-term renal outcomes. We aimed to model the trend of kidney function in ICU survivors using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), comparing those with and without AKI, and investigate potential risk factors associated with eGFR decline.
Methods: This observational cohort study included all patients aged 16 or older admitted to two general adult ICUs in Scotland between 1st July 2015 and 30th June 2018 who survived to 30 days following hospital discharge.
