(Re)Development of pain target competencies in a contemporary, multi-centre undergraduate medical curriculum: The importance of local cultural requirements

Pain is the most common reason to seek healthcare, however pain teaching is often not prominent in medical school curricula. This project reviewed an existing medical curriculum to develop a comprehensive pain curriculum that consolidated pain learning across a medical degree delivered on geographically-distinct campuses, looking to provide contemporary pain learning that was culturally appropriate in a local context. A cross-campus, interdisciplinary pain working group (PWG) was established to work across the two program stages (pre-clinical, clinical) and three clinical campuses. The PWG undertook a three-phase project to i) develop a range of potential target competencies based on expert input and international pain curricula, ii) identify and review existing pain competencies, and iii) undertake iterative review of information, consult with stakeholders, and propose revised competencies. Eight pain competencies were identified within the extant curriculum. Recommendations included two existing competencies remained unchanged, four be modified, two merged, and 26 new competencies adopted including some specific to local Indigenous Māori and Pacific Island communities. The 33 pain target competencies were structured across different teaching domains: science, research, and scholarship (n = 5); population health and epidemiology (n = 3); clinical skills (n = 5); and diagnostics and therapeutics (n = 20). Contemporary pain learning, including around Indigenous health, was not adequately represented. New target competencies were adopted to ensure pain learning is appropriate for medical practice in Aotearoa New Zealand, containing competencies specific to Māori and Pacific Island communities. Curricula review needs to consider local cultural requirements while integrating international best practice to ensure pain learning is appropriate. PerspectiveA comprehensive pain curriculum was developed across a multi-campus medical school setting. Through a three-phase project, existing pain competencies were reviewed and new target competencies developed, including those specific to local Indigenous communities. Findings highlight the importance of ensuring contemporary curricula include pain learning that is culturally focused and relevant.

Sub-Internship Academy: Implementation and Evaluation of Single-Day Resident-Driven Focused Sub-Internship Preparation Course

ObjectiveStrong performance in neurosurgical sub-internships is a vital component of a successful residency application and requires adequate familiarity with clinical knowledge and technical skills that may not be covered in standard medical school curricula. Accordingly, a need exists for immersive and comprehensive sub-internship preparation programs that respect time and resource limitations, are optimized based on longitudinal student feedback, provide opportunities for mentorship, and foster enthusiasm for neurosurgery. Therefore, residents at a single institution designed and implemented a comprehensive curriculum for a one-day sub-internship academy. MethodsAcademy curriculum involved hands-on and discussion-based elements split into three workshops. Anonymous surveys were conducted immediately following the academy and upon completion of sub-internships to evaluate participant perceptions on the utility of the academy. ResultsTwelve medical students participated in the inaugural neurosurgery sub-internship academy. Nine responded to the immediate post-survey, which revealed the following ratings: the overall program was rated as having maximal impact on sub-internship readiness and enthusiasm for neurosurgery by eight (88.9%) and seven (77.8%) respondents, respectively. A largely positive impact on access to mentorship was observed. Six participants responded to a post-sub-internship survey, and all six indicated they agreed or strongly agreed that the academy prepared them to perform well. ConclusionsStudent perceptions of the relevance and utility of the sub-internship academy were positive, and the program fostered enthusiasm for neurosurgery and provided opportunities for mentorship. The participants indicated the academy positively impacted their sub-internship performance, and areas for improvement to guide future iterations of the academy were identified.

Assessment of an Airway Curriculum in a Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship Program.

Endotracheal intubations (EIs) in the intensive care unit are high-risk procedures often performed by pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) providers. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education mandates PCCM fellows' competency in this procedure; however, the learning experiences vary across programs. After conducting a needs assessment, we developed a curriculum unique to our institution to supplement our fellows' existing EI experiences in the operating room and the intensive care unit. To assess the curriculum's short-term objectives: knowledge acquisition, maintenance, and practical skills 1 year after participation. We administered a survey to the graduating PCCM fellows for two consecutive years. We designed the comprehensive airway curriculum to include didactic lectures and simulation-based education. The knowledge acquisition and maintenance were measured by administering a 26-question knowledge survey before and after curriculum participation and after 1 year. The fellows also received a practical examination 1 year after participation. To compare knowledge survey scores, we used paired t tests and permutation tests. In the needs assessment, 56% of graduating fellows believed they were proficient in performing EI, whereas 33% were undecided and 11% believed they were unprepared. Most believed they would need more than two courses after graduation to be confident in independently performing EIs. Most will only occasionally have backup for EI from anesthesiology or emergency medicine in their future jobs. One identified barrier to learning EI was the lack of a formal curriculum. In the knowledge assessment, nine first-year fellows participated in the curriculum. The cohort's mean presurvey score was 13.0 (standard deviation [SD], 4.5) versus 18.6 (SD, 3.6) mean postsurvey score. One year after participation, the mean survey score was 17 (SD, 1.2). The postsurvey and 1-year postparticipation survey scores were significantly higher than the presurvey scores (P < 0.05). One year after participation, the practical examination showed most fellows retained skills in EI using ramped position, video and direct laryngoscopy, bag-mask ventilation, and oropharyngeal airway placement. The airway curriculum enhances fellows' knowledge acquisition and maintenance 1 year after participation. The practical examination 1 year after participation highlighted the skills retained and those still needing improvement.

The participants faced difficulties in fluency and accuracy, including challenges related to content fluency, organization of ideas, spelling accuracy, and proper punctuation and capitalization usage. To address these challenges, the study recommended differentiated instruction, explicit instruction on effective writing components, targeted practice activities, self - editing and revision strategies, a comprehensive curriculum integrating explicit instruction and authentic writing tasks, professional development for teachers, formative assessments for progress monitoring, fostering a supportive writing environment, and utilizing technology resources. In addition to the recommendations from the study, further research was recommended to investigate the effectiveness of different instructional strategies in improving students' writing skills. This research could compare explicit instruction with other approaches, such as inquiry - based learning or project - based learning, to determine their impact on fluency, coherence, accuracy, and organization. Conducting such research would provide valuable insights and evidence - based recommendations for educators to enhance their instructional practices and support students' development in writing with fluency and accuracy.

Infant bronchial tree simulator: Success of a built-from-scratch model for single lung isolation

BackgroundOne-lung ventilation in infants is a high-risk procedure. Complications include endotracheal tube occlusion, with grave consequences. Although there are commercially available bronchoscopy simulators, there are no realistic models of infant patients. This limits access to training opportunities that would ensure safe and efficient lung isolation. To bridge this gap, we developesd a realistic infant bronchial tree model for single lung intubation and evaluated preliminary validity evidence of its features and clinicians’ ability to perform critical skills associated with pediatric one-lung ventilation. MethodsUsing computed tomography imaging, a stereolithography file of an infant airway was generated to 3D print a model. This model was inserted into a commercially available airway trainer to allow lung isolation using standard bronchoscopy techniques. Ten experienced pediatric anesthesiologists independently evaluated the simulator’s physical attributes, realism, value, and relevance using a 29-item paper survey and rated using 4-point rating scales (4 = highest). Participants’ ability to complete 5 critical tasks was self-reported using 5-point rating scales (5 = too easy). Item and domain mean ratings were calculated, and comments reviewed. ResultsOverall, reviews were positive, with mean scores indicating adequate realism and high value. Specific challenges were associated with right mainstem bronchus and upper lobe takeoff. Performance scores indicated that most tasks were “somewhat easy to perform,” suggesting that the model’s anatomy did not hinder physicians’ ability to perform one-lung ventilation. ConclusionPreliminary findings indicate that the novel simulator holds promise for training in lung isolation techniques after refinement. Future research will target refinement, expanding evaluation, and developing a comprehensive curriculum and competency assessment program.

Integrating Art into STEAM Education: An Interview-Based Study of Interdisciplinary Art Educators

Extensive research has shown that students proficient in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects are more likely to succeed later in life. However, by adding the arts to the STEM curriculum (creating STEAM) and providing educators with a more interdisciplinary framework, students can be better prepared to understand and solve global problems and engage more effectively in social activities. This study employs a narrative approach to collect data and interpret results through interviews with three interdisciplinary art educators. The primary research question is: What is the self-perception of interdisciplinary art educators? By exploring how these educators integrate their specific fields into the arts to develop unique, comprehensive curricula, the study aims to highlight their role. Currently, the arts are viewed as optional rather than essential in education. Therefore, to create a truly effective, comprehensive, and engaging interdisciplinary educational system that benefits students, it is crucial to conduct in-depth interviews and research with interdisciplinary art educators, demonstrating that the arts are a vital component of all core curricula.

Innovative integration of sustainable technologies in educational programs: Fostering freshwater production and environmental preservation awareness

This study highlights the integration of sustainable desalination technologies into educational programs to raise awareness of freshwater production and environmental preservation. Through a comprehensive curriculum, students explore innovative methods such as pressure-retarded osmosis, multi-effect desalination, and seawater source heat pumps, all powered by renewable seawater thermal energy. The curriculum emphasizes the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, lowering reliance on fossil fuels, and protecting aquatic ecosystems. Students engage in practical evaluations of energy efficiency, economic viability, and environmental impact. Sensitivity analyses are incorporated to help students identify critical factors affecting system performance and optimize operational conditions for various modes. Through hands-on experiments, students learn that components like the heat pump condenser contribute the most to energy loss (29 %), followed by the expansion valve (12 %), compressor (11 %), and seawater heat exchanger (8 %). Economic analyses reveal that while the heat pump condenser and seawater heat exchanger have the lowest financial impact (0.33 % and 2.48 %, respectively), the pressure-retarded osmosis and compressor units have the highest (100 % and 60.3 %, respectively). The findings demonstrate that an optimally designed desalination system can produce freshwater at 80 % lower costs compared to traditional plants, while also reducing carbon emissions by 15 %. Educational experiments also show that integrating pressure-retarded osmosis downstream of multi-effect desalination significantly reduces brine salinity and temperature, highlighting the system's potential for environmental sustainability. This approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of desalination technologies but also equips students with the tools to address future global water challenges.

Exploring comprehensive sexuality education experiences and barriers among students, teachers and principals in Nepal: a qualitative study

BackgroundComprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is essential in empowering adolescents with the knowledge and confidence to manage their sexual and reproductive health. Despite its recognized benefits, access to quality CSE remains limited, especially in low-income countries, where societal norms and structural barriers hinder effective delivery. The aim of this study is to investigate the experiences and perceptions among students, teachers, and principals in Nepal about comprehensive sexuality education.MethodsQualitative methods were used. 13 Semi-structured interviews and 1 focus group discussion were carried out with 15 teachers and principals working at higher secondary schools and two focus group discussions were conducted with a total of 13 adolescents. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.ResultsFour themes were developed: Resistance to Teaching and Learning, Preparation and Engagement Strategies, Taboos and Silencing and Structural Barriers. Students, teachers, principals and students reported discomfort and embarrassment when discussing sensitive topics, with gender dynamics playing a significant role. Strategies like warm-up sessions and continuous interaction with students and parents were used to create a supportive learning environment. However, socio-cultural barriers and family attitudes continued to hinder open discussions about sexuality. Structural barriers, including the lack of formal training for teachers and inadequate instructional materials, further impeded effective CSE delivery.ConclusionThe experiences of CSE in Nepal among students, teachers and principals highlight significant barriers including cultural taboos, gender dynamics and insufficient resources. Addressing these barriers through comprehensive teacher training, curriculum reform, and societal engagement is critical to ensure access to CSE.

Improving undergraduate education in immunology through assessment of interdisciplinary scientific knowledge.

The interdisciplinary nature of immunology can make studying not only engaging but also challenging, as understanding immunologic processes and immune system components requires foundational knowledge from severalscience disciplines. The University of Alabama at Birmingham has aunique, 4-year, Undergraduate Immunology Program (UIP) that provides a comprehensive curriculum in immunology that includes five core courses starting in the second year, at which point, students are in the process of completing basic science sequences. For this study, students in courses across the UIP curriculum were asked to identify basic science topics that relate to four immunology concepts. In addition, students were surveyed on their confidence in understanding each of the basic science topics and were asked to identify the course in which they felt that they had fully learned the topic. Data from this study did not demonstrate a change in students' interdisciplinary science competency from the second to fourth year. Importantly, students reported that they fully understood 11 out of 12 basic science concepts in courses offered in their first and second years, with confidence in basic science topics significantly improving from the second to third year. The lack of demonstrated improvement in interdisciplinary understanding across the curriculum may be attributed to the fact that students are able to integrate basic science topics with foundational immunologic concepts as early as their second year. Importantly, these findings suggest that the integration or review of basic science topics in an immunology course may improve students' comprehension of foundational immunology concepts and interdisciplinary science competency.
