Since 1971 the directors of residency training programs in internal medicine have had the responsibility for evaluating the clinical skills of their trainees for the American Board of Internal Medicine. Satisfactory performance is required by the board as a qualification for admission to its written certifying examination. This report presents the board's experience with the evaluation of clinical skills through June 1975 based on visits with the administrators of 166 residency training programs. Described are the evaluative methods employed by the programs, the delineation and observation of acceptable minimum standards of performance, and the benefits to training in internal medicine accruing from the institution of these evaluation procedures and from the related visits to hospitals by representatives of the board.

Neurodiversity, encompassing conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and dyslexia, represents a significant and often under-recognized segment of the population, including within science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine fields like medicine. Neurodiverse individuals possess unique skills, including enhanced creativity, analytical thinking, and meticulous attention to detail, which are valuable in health care professions. However, failure to recognize and support these individuals can result in missed opportunities, social isolation, and mental health challenges.

One possible solution is appointing an adjunct faculty member to serve as a dedicated Remediation Specialist (RS) to focus solely on student remediation.

Executive function (EF) impairments are prevalent in survivors of neonatal critical illness such as children born very preterm (VPT) or with complex congenital heart disease (cCHD). This paper aimed to describe EF profiles in school-aged children born VPT or with cCHD and in typically developing peers, to identify child-specific and family-environmental factors associated with these profiles and to explore links to everyday-life outcomes. Data from eight EF tests assessing working memory, inhibition, cognitive flexibility, switching, and planning in = 529 children aged between 7 and 16 years was subjected into a latent profile analysis.
