An assessment was made of 100 case records written by junior medical staff working in a psychiatric teaching hospital. Thirty-nine items were rated, and considerable gaps were found in the records. The Mental State was more poorly recorded than the History; the Formulation and Summary were more satisfactory. Possible reasons for the findings are discussed, including methodological difficulties, administrative considerations, and attitudes of junior staff. The implications for the training and assessment of junior psychiatrists are explored.

Assessing shared decision-making: a case study of third-year medical student standardized patient encounters.
Int J Med Educ
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, USA.
Objectives: We aimed to determine if shared decision-making (SDM) self-assessment of a standardized patient (SP) scenario was reliable, specifically whether students' communication resulted in each SP-student pair reporting internally consistent final treatment choices. We hypothesized student self-assessment would differ from SP and faculty assessment indicating a need for multisource feedback.
Methods: In this observational case study from 2016-2017, all third-year post-clerkship medical students received evidence-based treatment options for sinusitis and SDM lectures followed by a SP encounter on sinusitis.
Development of a bio-inspired wound model for debridement training.
In Vitro Model
June 2024
Department of Pharmacy, University of Huddersfield, Queensgate, Huddersfield, HD1 3DH UK.
Unlabelled: Wound debridement is commonplace in expediting wound healing in the clinic. Despite this, there are limited resources available for simulation training for practitioners prior to facing real-life patients. Typically, citrus peels or porcine skin are employed in a vain attempt to improve debridement proficiency, yet these fail to provide a realistic experience of the textures and consistencies of wounds.

J Multidiscip Healthc
January 2025
School of Medicine, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan.
Background: This study evaluates a simulation-based interprofessional education (IPE) program implemented at the National Cheng Kung University Hospital between 2018 and 2023. The program aimed to improve teamwork, communication, and collaboration among healthcare professionals in high-acuity environments such as emergency departments and intensive care units (ICUs).
Methods: A prospective, mixed-methods approach was used to assess the program's effectiveness.
Not Like They Used To: The Decline of Procedural Competency in Medical Training.
Ann Fam Med

Department of General Pediatrics, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MassachusettsHarvard Medical School, Boston, MassachusettsLongwood Pediatrics, Boston, Massachusetts
As a primary care pediatrician trained before work hour restrictions were enacted, I spent hours mastering procedures that trainees today rarely perform. The changing landscape of health care clinician roles, technology, and work hour restrictions have all contributed to a remarkable decline in trainees' procedural competence which has significant negative effects for patients, health care systems, and physicians themselves. I suggest simulation, live training, mentoring, and scheduled opportunities as ways to reemphasize the importance of learning these technical skills.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys
January 2025
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Purpose: This study evaluates the feasibility of utilizing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone beam computed tomography (RB-CBCT) platform to perform low-dose-rate brachytherapy implants (LDR-BT) in a mechanically ventilated human cadaveric model. Post-implant dosimetry was compared to standard stereotactic body radiation therapy plans (SBRT).
Materials And Methods: The RB-CBCT platform was used to place inert LDR-BT seeds into mechanically ventilated human cadavers with percutaneously injected pseudotumors.
