Mashup Score: 9AI-based medical ethics education: examining the potential of large language models as a tool for virtue cultivation - BMC Medical Education - 1 month(s) ago
Background With artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly revolutionising medicine, this study critically evaluates the integration of large language models (LLMs), known for advanced text processing and generation capabilities, in medical ethics education, focusing on promoting virtue. Positing LLMs as central to mimicking nuanced human communication, it examines their use in medical education and the ethicality of embedding AI in such contexts. Method Using a hybrid approach that combines principlist and non-principlist methodologies, we position LLMs as exemplars and advisors. Results We discuss the imperative for including AI ethics in medical curricula and its utility as an educational tool, identify the lack of educational resources in medical ethics education, and advocate for future LLMs to mitigate this problem as a “second-best” tool. We also emphasise the critical importance of instilling virtue in medical ethics education and illustrate how LLMs can effectively impart moral

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a catalyst for recognizing the challenging environments in which healthcare workers operate, underscoring the urgent need to enhance their wellness to better support themselves and others. The implementation of a culture of wellness within the context of healthcare education, with a particular emphasis on individual-level strategies, allows for the realization of its intrinsic value and significance as a foundation for broader organizational strategies. This approach facilitates the establishment of a sustainable culture of wellness that benefits both current and subsequent generations of healthcare professionals. Methods We implemented our wellness program using a pragmatic pre-post study design for different settings. Our wellness intervention program was tested in three ways by creating combinations of different intensities (high, moderate, or low), delivery methods (face-to-face vs. virtual), different motivations (incentive, mandatory

Background Individuals from minority groups have historically faced social injustices. Those from underrepresented groups have been less likely to access both healthcare services and higher education. Little is known about the experiences of underrepresented students during their undergraduate studies in osteopathy in the UK. The aim of this project was to explore awareness of cultural diversity and beliefs about patients from underrepresented groups in current osteopathic educational environments and evaluate students’ preparedness to manage patients from diverse groups. The project also aimed to investigate the educational experiences of students from underrepresented backgrounds during their training and their opinions on changes that could support better levels of recruitment and achievement. The findings were discussed with stakeholders in interactive workshops with the aim to develop recommendations for action and change. Methods A transformative action research paradigm informed

Mashup Score: 0The importance of creating the right conditions for group intervision sessions among medical residents– a qualitative study - BMC Medical Education - 11 month(s) ago
Background The burnout rates among residents urge for adequate interventions to improve resilience and prevent burnout. Peer reflection, also called group intervision sessions, is a potentially successful intervention to increase the resilience of young doctors. We aimed to gain insight into the perceived added value of intervision sessions and the prerequisite conditions to achieve this, according to residents and intervisors. Our insights might be of help to those who think of implementing intervision sessions in their institution. Methods An explorative, qualitative study was performed using focus groups and semi-structured interviews with both residents (n = 8) and intervisors (n = 6) who participated in intervision sessions in a university medical center in the Netherlands. The topic list included the perceived added value of intervision sessions and factors contributing to that. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded using NVivo.

Mashup Score: 3Capital sharing and socialization in an interprofessional student-led clinic: a Bourdieuan analysis - BMC Medical Education - 12 month(s) ago
Background Interprofessional student-led clinics offer authentic clinical experiences of collaborative patient care. However, theoretical research on the sustainability of these clinics, considering forms of capital beyond the economic, remains limited. This study addresses this gap by employing Bourdieu’s theoretical framework to explore how alternative conceptions of capital; both social and cultural might sustain conditions for interprofessional working in a student-led clinic serving patients living with a chronic neurological impairment. Methods The teaching and learning focussed clinic was established in 2018 to mirror a clinical service. Semi-structured focus groups with participants involving 20 students from 5 professions and 11 patients gathered in-depth insights into their experiences within the clinic. A thematic analysis was guided by Bourdieu’s concepts of field, habitus, and capital. Results In the complex landscape of the student-led clinic, at the intersection of a pat
