"To our knowledge, this study is the first qualitative exploration of the nature and impact of grief in oncologists. We found that for oncologists, patient loss was a unique affective experience that had a smokelike quality. Like smoke, this grief was intangible and invisible. Nonetheless, it was pervasive, sticking to the physicians' clothes when they went home after work and slipping under the doors between patient rooms."

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.

"Don't overlook the value of higher-level multiple-choice questions for teaching. In areas where the target audience has some degree of prior knowledge, or where their life experience is relevant, I often make online courses denser by using multiple-choice exercises instead of the more traditional present-and-test format. This technique is also useful when there is room for judgment, or the preferred choice is conditional and you want the student to understand how different circumstances can affect the preferred action."

"It's not just patients who can learn from tools that help them make evidence-based decisions. Assessing patients' understanding of the information provided and the reasons for their health care choices has been an educational experience for Dale Collins Vidal, MD, director of the Center for Informed Choice at Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire."

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 study suggests that the main failing of patient-doctor encounters is not a lack of courteous manners, but the moral offence patients experience when existential concerns are ignored. "

"This article is intended to serve as a guide to instructors and educational programs seeking to develop, implement, and evaluate innovative and practical strategies to transform students' learning experience."

"Growing up in a family run care home, Andy Bradley discusses how his experiences with the elderly have helped him to better understand how we can provide compassionate care within our institutions."

"Here, I would like to draw on my experience as a learner as well as an educator, together with the available literature, to draw up a simple 12-step teaching strategy that should help the ward round serve the dual purpose of teaching medical students and junior doctors."

"Our experience with the calculators shows that it helps surgeons improve the quality of care they provide their patients because it improves shared decision making and patient-centered informed consent."

Today's definition of medical professionalism is evolving - from autonomy to accountability, from expert opinion to evidence-based medicine, and from self-interest to teamwork and shared responsibility. For many, medical professionalism is the "heart and soul of medicine." More than the adherence to a set of medical ethics, it is the daily expression of what originally attracted them to the field of medicine - a desire to help people and to help society as a whole by providing quality health care. But many physicians today experience profound obstacles to fulfilling the ideals of medical professionalism in practice.

Abstract: Drawing from a dialogue between Transformative Learning and NarrativeMedicine, Transformative Medicine seeks to expose detrimental power systems and unchallenged assumptions between physician and patient, indoctrinated through medicaleducation, and advocate dialogue and critical reflection around a patient's storied experience to improve the quality of medical interpretations and intervention.

The behavioral sciences are taught in medical curricula around the world. In the current paper psychologists teaching in medical schools in Australia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States share their experience and refl
