"This study indicates that, even though third-year students may have adequate general interviewing skills, they may need additional training and practice in obtaining contextual information about patients in all clinical settings. These findings also suggest that the gender of the patient, as well as gender concordance between patient and student, play a role in student-patient interactions."

" This research suggests that the theoretical advantages linked to the self-assessment process are a result of its feedback component rather than the practice of self-assessment isolated from feedback. Further research exploring the effects of different contextual and personal factors on students' self-assessment is needed."

"Conclusions: Although the number of reports analyzed in this meta-analysis is small, these results show that SBME with DP is superior to traditional clinical medical education in achieving specific clinical skill acquisition goals. SBME is a complex educational intervention that should be introduced thoughtfully and evaluated rigorously at training sites. Further research on incorporating SBME with DP into medical education is needed to amplify its power, utility, and cost-effectiveness."

"Good feedback is a necessary condition for well-calibrated performance by individuals, and is integral to effective team function. More needs to be known about outcomes for feedback to work efficiently. The critical role of feedback in other aspects of ED function, such as education and human factors engineering, should be emphasized. The current interest in medical error and evolving attitudes toward a new culture of patient safety provide a unique opportunity to examine feedback and the critical role it plays in ED function."

"Those planning medical curricula would be wise to engage their colleagues from philosophy and educational psychology to help elucidate these ideas and to learn how to construct longitudinal mentorship programs. The conceptual basis of these programs need to acknowledge that the boundary between being and doing is porous and that, through a maieutic process, mentors can catalyze and guide personal transformations in learners.

"We found incorporating OSTEs into a FCR faculty development program to be an effective strategy for improving faculty teaching behavior. Additional study is needed to determine if this strategy results in sustained improvements in conducting FCRs in real inpatient settings. "

The NNT offers a measurement of the impact of a medicine or therapy by estimating the number of patients that need to be treated in order to have an impact on one person. The concept is statistical, but intuitive, for we know that not everyone is helped by a medicine or intervention - some benefit, some are harmed, and some are unaffected. The NNT tells us how many of each.

"As we develop written materials for the general public, we need to think about vocabulary and sentence structure, organization of ideas, as well as layout and design elements so that we can eliminate as many unnecessary barriers as possible."
