" It was concluded that learning by medical students was improved when they recorded notes in class."

"These findings suggest that educational interventions can be effective in maintaining and enhancing empathy in undergraduate medical students. In addition, they highlight the need for multicenter, randomized controlled trials, reporting long-term data to evaluate the longevity of intervention effects. Defining empathy remains problematic, and the authors call for conceptual clarity to aid future research."

"46.4% of all respondents stated that they had been abused at some time while enrolled in medical school, with 80.6% of seniors reporting being abused by the senior year. More than two thirds (69.1%) of those abused reported that at least one of the episodes they experienced was of "major importance and very upsetting." Half (49.6%) of the students indicated that the most serious episode of abuse affected them adversely for a month or more; 16.2% said that it would "always affect them." "

"As a medical student, I can certainly say that I probably don't know nearly as much physical exam technique as Sir William Osler taught his students - so I need an app for that! iOrtho+ is an app that has descriptions and videos of musculoskeletal physical exams for those of us who have a lot of physical examination skills to learn."

"Approximately one-third of pediatric clerkship directors currently use SNS, with use less likely with increasing age. Fewer have SNS relationships with students than with residents. Perceptions of appropriateness of faculty SNS behaviors and students' postings varied. These perceptions by medical education leaders can stimulate discussion to inform consensus guidelines on professional SNS use."

"This study's findings indicate that rural physicians are routinely confronted with professional boundary issues in everyday situations, and these circumstances do not always reflect those of their urban colleagues. Given the increase in longitudinal immersion clinical clerkship programs to nurture student interest in future rural practice, acknowledgment and acceptance of the nuances of dual relationships and boundary setting in different clinical learning contexts are vital to help students identify their personal needs for privacy and be better prepared to negotiate the realities of rural practice. These findings may inform future medical education initiatives on professional boundary setting as an aspect of professionalism."

"The home is an outstanding setting for education of medical students, providing wonderful opportunities to enrich students' appreciation of the patient-physician relationship; of interdisciplinary care; and of the challenging biomedical, psychosocial, and spiritual aspects of care."
