Background: Medical interns have 2 weeks compulsory internship in psychiatry.
Aim: We tried to explore their learning and views about psychiatry during these 2 weeks. To document verbatim their account about the knowledge gained and their experiences during the psychiatry internship posting and derive prominent themes.
Methods: Focus group discussion was conducted at the end of the posting using a semistructured questionnaire for seven consecutive batches of interns posted in psychiatry. To enhance trustworthiness, we utilized member checking, data triangulation, and peer debriefing. Their routine during posting, competencies, expectations from the posting, and frustrations were the main points discussed. The interns willingly participated and discussed their views about psychiatry posting.
Results: They were aware of psychiatry as an important medical discipline and had a fair degree of knowledge about it. Most of them found the posting useful. The interns had not attained the required competencies in handling emergencies and use of psychiatric drugs.
Conclusion: Involvement of senior faculty and formative assessments will be necessary in the training of medical interns. This can ensure that they gain the required competencies.

Renal-Electrolyte Division, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (M.C.-P., R.B.M., C.M.P.).
Background: Prior studies indicate that 1% to 4% of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-seronegative recipients of EBV-seropositive donor (EBV D+/R-) kidneys develop posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). However, these estimates are based on limited data that lack granularity.
Objective: To determine the associations between pretransplant EBV D+/R- and recipient EBV-seropositive status (R+) and the outcomes of PTLD and graft and patient survival among adult kidney transplant recipients.
Guidelines International Network: Principles for Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Health Guideline Enterprise.

Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been defined by the High-Level Expert Group on AI of the European Commission as "systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions-with some degree of autonomy-to achieve specific goals." Artificial intelligence has the potential to support guideline planning, development and adaptation, reporting, implementation, impact evaluation, certification, and appraisal of recommendations, which we will refer to as "guideline enterprise." Considering this potential, as well as the lack of guidance for the use of AI in guidelines, the Guidelines International Network (GIN) proposes a set of principles for the development and use of AI tools or processes to support the health guideline enterprise.
