"The duty of the teacher in this model is not to judge and rate but, rather, to read and tell what is seen. Our teachers, having been trained in the acts of close reading, are equipped not with rating rubrics but, rather, with a reading guide that prompts the reader to attend to several narrative features of a text. The reader/coach can thereby first see and then show the writer what is contained in the written text, at least from that reader's vantage point, helping along the process not only of the writing but also of the reflection the writing birthed. Multiple readers swell and complicate the lessons learned. As a dividend, we have observed, the group of readers/writers form strong, trusting, collaborative teams. And so our training for reflection also fulfills other difficult missions of medical education in teamwork, peer learning, trust, and care."

"The 22-page report outlines a multi-pronged approach that can begin to fix the communication gap. The plan falls into four broad categories which include establishing cultural profiles, educating healthcare providers with the culturally-relevant information, reaching patients through as many touchpoints as possible (e-mail, text) and establishing regular follow-up."

Ninety-seven articles were included from 182 full-text articles of the initial 2,001 hits. All studies were of average or good quality and the majority had an observational study design.Ninety-six studies provided insight into the effect of 'the level of experience of residents' on patient outcomes during residency training. Within these studies, the start of the academic year was not without risk (five out of 19 studies), but individual progression of residents (seven studies) as well as progression through residency training (nine out of 10 studies) had a positive effect on patient outcomes.

" In this AMEE guide we describe historical, discourse and text analysis approaches that can help researchers and educators question the inevitability of things that are currently seen as 'natural'. Why is such questioning important? By articulating our assumptions and interrogating the 'naturalness' of the status quo, one can then begin to ask why things are the way they are."

"All of these suggestions are about 'making sense common'. Clinical teachers are encouraged to use questions accompanying the main text to make a self-assessment of their current practice and consider potential changes to provide additional value for students during AEE."

The impact of the activity on learning, in my experience, far outweighs any concern about time required for the 3-2-1 processes. In one of my courses, I assigned 3-2-1 reports to the text chapters that I thought were the most difficult and which did not have any direct connection to the course lab activities.

"The links below will direct you to the full text of papers on important topics in EBCP mainly related to critical appraisal and to the understanding of the importance of the results in clinical studies. The content of the papers is mainly dedicated to learners of EBCP. However, there are online versions, in the appendix, for teachers of EBCP in some of these resources."

Here, we show that practicing retrieval produces greater gains in meaningful learning than elaborative studying with concept mapping. The advantage of retrieval practice generalized across texts identical to those commonly found in science education. The advantage of retrieval practice was observed with test questions that assessed comprehension and required students to make inferences. The advantage of retrieval practice occurred even when the criterial test involved creating concept maps. Our findings support the theory that retrieval practice enhances learning by retrieval-specific mechanisms rather than by elaborative study processes. Retrieval practice is an effective tool to promote conceptual learning about science.
