Despite recent major changes in the practice of medicine, there has been relatively little change in medical education, particularly in the clinical years. Important areas such as ethics, domestic violence, nutrition, preventive medicine, and clinical decision making have been neglected in the curriculum. However, in 1994 the UCLA School of Medicine began to implement Doctoring III, a multidisciplinary, centralized, longitudinal course that spans the third year of medical school. This course addresses many underrepresented topics. Students spend one day every other week in Doctoring III. Half of the day is spent in community-based clinical sites and the other half is spent in small-group teaching sessions. In the small groups, students and faculty follow and manage a panel of simulated patients over the course of the year. The students thus have the opportunity to develop a sense of the progression of common illnesses over time and to explore related ethical, social, and other concerns. The approach taken in Doctoring III has enabled the UCLA School of Medicine to overcome many barriers to curricular change, and it may serve as a model for incorporating the teaching of underrepresented topics in the clinical years.

Introduction Clavicle open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is an effective treatment for the surgical management of clavicle fractures. However, the literature surrounding the risk factors for readmission and reoperation following clavicle ORIF remains understudied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific risk factors for 30-day readmission and reoperation following clavicle ORIF.

Purpose: The palliative phase of a patient's life is often characterized by disease complexity, increasing the need for holistic care, support for the patient's relatives, and the up-to-date knowledge of a multidisciplinary healthcare team. Physicians in nursing homes have the main responsibility for providing palliative care to vulnerable and fragile patients. There is limited research uncovering physicians' experience and perceptions of what is important in this phase of patients' lives.

With the aim of improving access and engagement to healthcare in people living with HIV (PLHIV), in 2022 Gregorio Marañón Hospital and the NGO COGAM developed a circuit for recruitment and referral to hospital. Program targeted PLHIV who were neither receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) nor on medical follow-up (FU); but also, individuals at risk who underwent screening tests at the NGO and, if positive, were referred for confirmation. The result was an increase in annual new PLHIV seen in hospital by reaching a population who were, essentially, young men (94% male, median age 30 years), migrants (95%) with recent diagnosis of HIV (median 5 years) and who were recently arrived in Spain (median 5 months).

Background The increasing workload of radiologists can lead to burnout and errors in radiology reports. Large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4, hold promise as error revision tools for radiology. Purpose To test the feasibility of GPT-4 use by determining its error detection, reasoning, and revision performance on head CT reports with varying error types and to validate its clinical utility by comparison with human readers.
