Introduction: This study assesses the perception and challenges faced by medical students in adapting to India's competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum. The curriculum is gradually being accepted nationwide. Students and faculty are continuously trying to implement all components of CBME in their practical and theory classes.
Objective: The research aims to provide insights into students' perceptions and challenges for the newly implemented CBME curriculum.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among MBBS students at our medical college from 2019 batch onward. A questionnaire was sent using Google Forms and 293 responses were recorded. Data analysis was done using MS Excel.
Results: The distribution of students across batches showed that 2019 and 2020 batches were the largest cohorts, comprising 39% and 37% respectively, followed by 2022 (14%) and 2021 (10%). The majority recognized the importance and achievement of the foundation course (73.4% and 75.5%, respectively). Attitude, Ethics, and Communication (AETCOM) was deemed necessary (79.8%) and contributed to doctor-patient relationships (43%). Early clinical exposure (ECE) was valued for interest and learning (87.3%), and practical technique like Objective Structured Clinical Examination was favored (83.9%). Challenges included time constraints for theory papers, finishing logbooks, limited self-study time, mental burnout, and coping with numerous competencies. ECE and integrated teaching were seen as pivotal for academic success, whereas AETCOM was acknowledged for its academic contribution.

The Window on Animal Health at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences hosts the VetPAC Museum Medicine Internship, an undergraduate student internship program founded in collaboration with the Veterinary Professions Advising Center at North Carolina State University. It is designed to train pre-veterinary track students for wildlife and exotic animal husbandry and medicine in a unique museum clinical facility surrounded by large windows and a two-way audio system to facilitate public interaction during veterinary casework. The development of veterinary skills for interns is achieved via four competency-based stages: stage 1, veterinary assisting; stage 2, veterinary diagnostics; stage 3, medical case management and presentation; and stage 4, biosecurity and animal welfare.

Physicians from racially and ethnically minoritized (REM) populations are woefully under-represented in the medical profession. The consequences of under-representation are far reaching, with profound impacts on social justice efforts and public health. One solution to remedy this crisis involves the aggressive recruitment of students from REM backgrounds.

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify learning curves for robotic gastro-enterostomy (RGE) during RPD and the predictive value of the objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) score for DGE according to the Birkmeyer et al and UPMC method.
Summary Of Background Data: In some series, robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) has been associated with increased risk of delayed gastric emptying (DGE). It is unclear whether this is attributable to learning curve.

Background: To address access to dental care and oral health inequity issues comprehensively this project aimed to 1) develop, test and demonstrate a community-based recruitment of oral health workforce capacity in severely underserved areas of Oregon, 2) develop a retention toolkit with the potential to increase the longevity of providers in Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas (DHPSAs), 3) expand the pipeline of oral health professionals willing to practice in rural underserved counties of Oregon through experiential learning, and 4) demonstrate that a teledentistry model would be applicable in severely underserved areas.
Methods: Administrative changes to state loan repayment initiatives were used to leverage recruitment efforts of dental workforce to DHPSAs. Senior dental students on community-based rotations were surveyed about what factors were important to them in choosing a practice location and what their preferred location of practice was after graduation.

Objective: This study sought to determine differences in program reported entrustable professional activity (EPA) entrustment-supervision levels based on residency program size.
Methods: At the end of the 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24 academic years, entrustment-supervision levels for the 17 General Pediatrics EPAs were determined by clinical competency committees for graduating pediatric residents at 48 pediatrics residency programs. Programs were categorized as small, medium, large, and very large.
