During a clerkship in psychiatry thirty-six medical students were randomly allocated to one of three teachers who differed widely in their experience of teaching essential interviewing skills. Each teacher taught two groups of six medical students using videotape feedback and discussion of practice interviews. Independent raters who were blind to the teachers to whom the students had been assigned rate pre- and post-training interviews. All three teachers proved effective in teaching interviewing skills and it is concluded that most teachers could probably be taught to carry out this training.

The correlation between students' Global Perspective (GP) and Willingness to Communicate in a second language (L2 WTC), particularly in the context of China, remains an under-explored area. Additionally, few studies have compared the GP and WTC among students with varying English proficiency levels or examined whether there are specific similarities and differences among these students. This study aimed to bridge these gaps within the context of traditional and English Medium Instruction (EMI) universities in China.

Purpose: The classic paradigm of procedural education in medical training has involved trainees learning and performing invasive bedside procedures and subsequently teaching these procedures to more junior trainees. Many existing resident-as-teacher curricula focus on cognitive domains; there has been a lack of literature examining the transition from learner to teacher in procedural education. This hypothesis-generating instrumental case study explored how expert procedural educators transitioned from novice procedural educators to experts.
