Read More Introduction: Concept mapping is a multidimensional tool that has been put to little use in India. We designed this study to check its applicability for assessing higher-order thinking in the subject of Physiology.Methods: This interventional analytical study was carried out among 65 students of Phase I of MBBS in the year 2021. The students were sensitized to the technique and were given a practice session. On a pre-informed date, an assessment of a topic taught to them was done using concept mapping and a multiple-choice question (MCQ) based test. Feedback on the technique was taken from the students. The statistical tests used were test of normality – Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, significance of association - Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, correlation - Spearman’s correlation, and agreement - Bland Altman Analysis. The discrimination index was calculated for both concept mapping and MCQ based tests, separately. Percentages were calculated for feedback questionnaire items. The data were analysed using Microsoft Excel (2019) and an online calculator. P values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.Results: Students scored more in concept mapping. There was a significant difference in the scores of the students on the two tests (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, Z=-2.66, P=0.008) and a weakly positive non-significant correlation between them (Spearman’s correlation coefficient, rs=0.07, P=0.60). Bland Altman’s Analysis showed agreement in the scores of the students in the two tests. The mean score of the students in the two tests increased, so did the difference in the scores in the two tests. The discrimination index of concept mapping (0.28) was higher than that of the MCQ based test (0.18). Most of the students agreed on the advantages of concept mapping in the feedback.Conclusion: The assessment result of concept mapping is better than that of MCQ-based test and it may be included as a teaching learning and assessment strategy in the context of Indian medical education in the subject of Physiology.

Read More Introduction: Inadequate prescription communication skills of the medical graduates lead to poor therapeutic outcome and increased burden on the healthcare system. This gap has to be addressed through effective methods for teaching prescription communication skills to medical students. This study compared the effectiveness of Role play and Small Group Discussion (SGD) in teaching prescription communication skills to students of Phase Two of the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) course.Methods: This was a prospective interventional study done in the Department of Pharmacology affiliated to the Department of Surgery at a Tertiary Care Centre in North Kerala for a period of 3 months from March 2021 to May 2021. After obtaining ethical clearance and informed consent, students of Phase Two of the MBBS course students (n=60) were selected by convenience sampling and divided into 2 groups by simple randomisation. The groups were taught prescription communication skills by Role play and SGD, respectively. Each group received six independent interventions on different topics. An Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was conducted 1 week after each session for both groups. At the end of six sessions, feedback on the sessions was collected through a perception questionnaire. Quantitative data were compared using independent t-test. Ordinal data were expressed as percentages. Statistical analysis was done using online statistical calculators. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Mean OSCE scores for each session was significantly higher in the Role play group than the SGD group. Mean total OSCE score of the Role play group was significantly higher than the SGD group (60.39±6.33, 47.79±4.27, P<0.001).Conclusion: Role play is more effective than SGD in teaching prescription communication skills to MBBS students. Students have shown more favourable perception towards Role play than SGD for teaching prescription communication skills.

There is aLack of tools to measure it in Morocco. The aim of this study was to validate the Arabic version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) among Moroccan medical students.Methods: The questionnaire was translated from its original English version to Arabic in accordance with international guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of self-report measures.After translation and transcultural adaptation, the final Arabic version was administered to a sample of Moroccan medical students. Descriptive statistics at the item level and at the scalelevel were calculated. The internal consistency, reproducibility, criterion, and construct validity were assessed. A multitrait scale analysis was used to examine construct validity. To measurecriterion validity, the Arabic JSE scale was correlated to a visual analog scale (VAS), measuring the level of empathy. The mean of score was compared by gender, year of medical training, andspecialty preference using the Student (t) and ANOVA tests. All statistical analyses were performed by SPSS, Version 26.Results: A total of 201 students participated in the study. The average empathy score was 105.1±13.4. It was higher in female than male students (P=0.003). The Cronbach alpha was 0.76. The instrument has moderate test-retest reliability (ICC=0.6). The results showed a positive and significant correlation between Arabic JSE and VAS (r=0.28, P<0.0001). The multitrait scalinganalysis by testing convergent and discriminant validity confirmed the original scale structure.Conclusion: The adapted Moroccan version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy proved to be a valid instrument. It demonstrated an acceptable reliability and validity. Indeed, it can be used innational studies to measure empathy in medical students.

Read More Introduction: Professionalism, as one of the core competencies of physicians, is essential for providing the patients with higher quality care. It is an abstract concept and its education and assessment need objective and operational methods. The present study aimed at teaching the concepts of professionalism based on a scenario-based approach using role-playing and reflection.Methods: This is a pre-experimental study (one-group pretest-posttest design) with a mixed method approach. The studywas conducted on 18 medical students (by voluntary sampling method) who had enrolled in the Medical Ethics Course atKashan University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Twelve scenarios were designed about the most prevalent issues of medical professionalism. In each session, one group of students played out their scenarios and then, the participants and instructors discussed their role-playing. Participants’ knowledge about professionalism was assessed at the beginning and end of each session, and they completed a satisfaction questionnaire and a reflection form. T-tests (one-sample and paired T-test) were applied for statistical analysis. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 26), and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data.Results: The mean scores of the participants’ knowledge in posttest were significantly higher than those in the pre-test (P=0.042, t=-2.074). The mean scores of the participants’ role-playing quality (P<0.001) and satisfaction (P=0.001) were significantly higher than their corresponding test values. Qualitative analysis of the participants’ reflections revealed their satisfaction with the study intervention.Conclusion: The scenarios, role-playing, and reflection could provide an opportunity for operationalizing the conceptsof professionalism and deep learning of students. Medical instructors need to improve their knowledge and skills of using active methods in teaching professionalism to medical students.

Read More Introduction: Epidemics such as the recent one, COVID-19, have caused a change in education and its methods. Virtual simulation is one of the types of technology used in medical education andrelated sciences. Virtual simulation provides practical and clinical medical education in a safe, cost-effective, reproducible, and flexible learning environment where students can practice over and over in a standard environment. This study was conducted to compare the effect of virtual-based medical education versus lecture-based method in teaching start triage lessons in emergency medical students in educational and medical centers affiliated to Birjand University of Medical Sciences Ferdows, Paramedical School, in 2020.Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. All 44 students of emergency medicine registered for triage course participated in the study. They were divided into two homogenous groups whichwere matched based on their grade point average. The simple triage and rapid transport (START) triage course was taught in the traditional way- lecture based- from the beginning of the semesterto the middle of the semester; then, the other group (simulationbased) was trained in the second half of the same semester using virtual simulation.Results: The students’ rate of learning was measured by their scores at the end of the course exam in both groups. The mean scores of virtual simulation-based education were slightly higher than those of the lecture-based education, but it was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The students were more satisfied with virtual simulation-based education than the lecture-based and the difference between the mean scores of satisfaction was statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that VR can effectively improve knowledge in undergraduate emergency student’s education, but it was not more effective than traditionaleducational methods. More experimental studies with a larger sample size are needed to confirm that virtual simulation-based education can more effectively improve knowledge in teaching practical lessons such as triage.

A narrative of evolution from the past to the present & the novelty in the future is exciting, with pragmatic presentation of important recent developments & interesting research directions, for ‘evolving excellence’.Methods: Analysis of the guidance was produced by leading medical education institutions and an in-depth search on Google Scholar, Medline, and PubMed for CPC. We thoughtfully formulated ways of incorporation of CPC for teaching and training of medical students at different levels. We put available policies, evidence, and personal experience gleaned in proper perspective.Results: The four HPs (i) Historical perspective: Tracing the progress, the important developments extending the physician’s range are clinical correlation with the outgivings of chemical analysis and biological experimentation. (ii) Holistic professionalism: Integrating Basic and Clinical Sciences.Knowledge for practice and knowledge applications in practice are two pillars of medical education. Learning opportunities provisioning should enable linking of theory and practice. (iii) The happening perfect: Clinic-Pathological Conference. Problembased learning is highly effective. A clinical case presentation with deliberation on all aspects is useful for all. The denouement should include research developments and desired research directions. (iv) Heightened professionalism: Progress features promise exciting future. Chemistry of life and disease has been evolving manifold, opening new vistas. Microbiome research results for clinically actionable microbe-host relationships identification are in foresight. Genomic and proteomic approach to human disease is leading to new understanding of pathogenesis for clinical strategies. Systems Biology studies living organisms with their cellular or molecular network components holistically to predict response to perturbations. ‘Systems pathobiology’ is energising avenues for early diagnosis and advancing clinical applications for halting progress for better medical practice. Conclusions: Teaching CPC for all round understanding will lead to all knowledgeable proficient medical practitioners.

Read More Introduction: Medical errors are a serious problem in providing medical care and ensuring the health of society, and discovering the causes of errors to minimize the possibility of their occurrence is one of the main challenges in the field of treating patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between professional identity, performance and attitude to self-reported medical errors among medical interns of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences.Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 187 medical interns with census method in five Ardabil educational hospitals in the second semester of 2020-2021. Data collection tool was a questionnaire consisting of 3 parts (demographic, self-reported attitude towards medical errors and professional identity). The validity of the questionnaire was evaluated using Content validity index (CVI) and Content validity ratio (CVR). The reliability of the attitude section was 0.78 and 0.86 for professional identity section. Data analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics, version 21 by descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviation and independent T-test, chisquare and one-way ANOVA. P-values<0.05 were considered statistically significant.Results: The mean scores of students’ attitudes towards selfreport and professional identity were 55.6±8.8 and 60.4±9.8. Less than 50% of the students declared the possibility of reporting their medical errors. There were no significant differences in the mean scores of self-reported attitude, medical error and professional identity according to grade point average, type of faculty and students’ gender (P>0.05).Conclusion: The attitude and performance of students regarding the self-disclosure of medical errors was not satisfactory, and it seems that the analysis of the educational programs in the education of medical errors and the legal and ethical aspects of errors needs serious attention.

Read More Introduction: Storytelling is one of the earliest ways to share scientific advancements and discoveries. The advent of technology has updated this ancient art into a digitalized form. The boundaries between the digital storytelling (DST), and other types of videos are unclear. Therefore, in this review, the process, aim, producers, and uses of DST in health profession education have been reviewed.Methods: This study is a systematized review, which is in nature like a systematic review with only a few differences in the comprehensive search and quality assessment procedure. All studies, whose duplicates were removed, were retrieved from Science Direct, PubMed, and Scopus databases or through google scholar search engine screened in 3 stages: title, abstract and full study. All journal articles including experimental, case study and case report, mixed method, and qualitative studies in English language in the field of health profession education were chosen for this review after being evaluated based on QUESTS dimensions.Results: In total, 35 articles were included in the review. The studies had been done in health promotion, nursing education, medical education, patient education, social work education, andcommunity health education. In some of these studies, the producers and users of digital stories were different, which is in contrast with center for digital storytelling that emphasizes the process of DST. The results of this review showed that all stakeholders of health system could be producers of digital stories with various aims; e.g. community health, empathy promotion, attitude and behaviorchange, clinical thinking, and skills improvement. Conclusion: This systematized review indicated that DST has some applications in different subjects in different fields of health professions and with a potential to be used by different stakeholders of health system. According to the definition of DST, digital storytelling involves the process of writing a script to produce a digital story by one individual or a group. Consequently, there is a difference between DST and producing a digital story. Therefore, researchers should consider the correct use of this term in their studies. Although few interventional and high-quality studies have been conducted in this area, further quantitative and qualitative research is suggested.
