Tras la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Formación Superior, los contenidos del Área de Radiología y Medicina Física que se impartían tradicionalmente en la Licenciatura de Medicina se han incorporado también a los nuevos grados de Odontología, Enfermería, Fisioterapia, Podología y, en menor medida, Farmacia, Terapia Ocupacional, Logopedia, e Ingeniería Biomédica. En su conjunto, los conceptos básicos de radiología y protección radiológica se imparten en Murcia en 5 grados diferentes con un total de 52,5 créditos ECTS, participando en la formación de 1219 alumnos cada curso académico. Esta incorporación en los nuevos grados ha triplicado el número de asignaturas en las que se imparte docencia pregrado, y duplicado tanto el número de créditos ECTS como el número de alumnos de pregrado a los que dirige su labor de formación. Así, ante la posible creación de nuevos grados universitarios en un futuro próximo (Imagen para el Diagnóstico y Técnico en Radioterapia) sería necesaria la implicación de un mayor número de profesionales acreditados, de diferentes especialidades, y que optimicen los recursos docentes (bibliografía, material docente, casos clínicos, etc.) para su utilidad en las diferentes asignaturas que comparten contenidos similares.(AU)
After the implementation of the European Space for Higher Education, the contents of the Radiology and Physical Medicine Area that were taught in the Medicine Degree have also been incorporated into the new degrees of Dentistry, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, and, to a lesser extent, Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy, Logopedia, and Biomedical Engineering As a whole, the basic concepts of radiology and radiological protection are taught in Murcia in 5 different degrees with a total of 52.5 ECTS credits, participating in the training of 1,219 students each academic year. This incorporation in the new degrees has tripled the number of subjects in which undergraduate teaching is taught, and doubled both the number of ECTS credits and the number of undergraduate students to whom it directs its training work. Thus, given the possible creation of new university degrees in the near future (Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy Technicians), it would be necessary to involve a greater number of accredited professionals, from different specialties, and to optimize teaching resources (bibliography, material teacher, clinical cases, etc.) for its usefulness in the different subjects that share similar contents.(AU)

The GPT-4 large language model (LLM) and ChatGPT chatbot have emerged as accessible and capable tools for generating English-language text in a variety of formats. GPT-4 has previously performed well when applied to questions from multiple standardized examinations. However, further evaluation of trustworthiness and accuracy of GPT-4 responses across various knowledge domains is essential before its use as a reference resource. Here, we assess GPT-4 performance on nine graduate-level examinations in the biomedical sciences (seven blinded), finding that GPT-4 scores exceed the student average in seven of nine cases and exceed all student scores for four exams. GPT-4 performed very well on fill-in-the-blank, short-answer, and essay questions, and correctly answered several questions on figures sourced from published manuscripts. Conversely, GPT-4 performed poorly on questions with figures containing simulated data and those requiring a hand-drawn answer. Two GPT-4 answer-sets were flagged as plagiarism based on answer similarity and some model responses included detailed hallucinations. In addition to assessing GPT-4 performance, we discuss patterns and limitations in GPT-4 capabilities with the goal of informing design of future academic examinations in the chatbot era.

This study examines the intersectional role of citizenship and gender with career self-efficacy amongst 10,803 doctoral and postdoctoral trainees in US universities. These biomedical trainees completed surveys administered by 17 US institutions that participated in the National Institutes of Health Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (NIH BEST) Programs. Findings indicate that career self-efficacy of non-citizen trainees is significantly lower than that of US citizen trainees. While lower career efficacy was observed in women compared with men, it was even lower for non-citizen female trainees. Results suggest that specific career interests may be related to career self-efficacy. Relative to US citizen trainees, both male and female non-citizen trainees showed higher interest in pursuing a career as an academic research investigator. In comparison with non-citizen female trainees and citizen trainees of all genders, non-citizen male trainees expressed the highest interest in research-intensive (and especially principal investigator) careers. The authors discuss potential causes for these results and offer recommendations for increasing trainee career self-efficacy which can be incorporated into graduate and postdoctoral training.

OBJECTIVE: This study sought to determine the role of physician associates/assistants (PAs) in ophthalmology, the balance between barriers and facilitators in training, and optimal training for PAs in ophthalmology. METHODS: In this explanatory qualitative case study, 17 of the 94 PAs in ophthalmology in the United States participated in qualitative, semistructured interviews. Qualitative interviews were conducted using a validated interview guide. Interpretational data analysis methods helped in the development of various themes. RESULTS: Themes suggest that PAs play a unique role in assisting ophthalmologists in surgery, performing procedures autonomously, and evaluating and treating patients autonomously. PAs in ophthalmology reported current training programs as unfavorable, reported satisfaction in their careers, and identified formal postgraduate training programs as optimal training for PAs. CONCLUSIONS: Findings of this study suggest that formal postgraduate training programs can help PAs gain the necessary skills to successfully fulfill their roles in ophthalmology.

BACKGROUND: Health disparities are often a function of systemic discrimination and healthcare providers' biases. In recognition of this, health science programs have begun to offer training to foster cultural proficiency (CP) in future professionals. However, there is not yet consensus about the best ways to integrate CP into didactic and clinical education, and little is known about the role of clinical rotations in fostering CP. METHODS: Here, a mixed-methods approach was used to survey students (n = 131) from a private all-graduate level osteopathic health sciences university to gain insight into the training approaches students encountered related to CP and how these may vary as a function of academic progression. The research survey included instruments designed to quantify students' implicit associations, beliefs, and experiences related to the CP training they encountered through the use of validated instruments, including Implicit Association Tests and the Ethnocultural Empathy Inventory, and custom-designed questions. RESULTS: The data revealed that most students (73%) had received CP training during graduate school which primarily occurred via discussions, lectures, and readings; however, the duration and students' perception of the training varied substantially (e.g., training range = 1-100 hours). In addition, while students largely indicated that they valued CP and sought to provide empathetic care to their patients, they also expressed personal understandings of CP that often fell short of advocacy and addressing personal and societal biases. The results further suggested that clinical rotations may help students attenuate implicit biases but did not appear to be synergistic with pre-clinical courses in fostering other CP knowledge, skills, and attitudes. CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the need to utilize evidence-based pedagogical practices to design intentional, integrated, and holistic CP training throughout health science programs that employ an intersectional lens and empowers learners to serve as advocates for their patients and address systemic challenges.

CONTEXT: Addressing public health challenges necessitates policy approaches, but concerns persist about public health graduates' preparedness to advocate. OBJECTIVE: This qualitative study sought to assess advocacy content and skills taught to Master of Public Health students enrolled in US accredited schools and programs of public health (SPPHs) by analyzing 98 course syllabi submitted to the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) between 2019 and 2021. Syllabi were submitted by SPPHs during their (re)accreditation process to demonstrate compliance with CEPH's advocacy competency requirement. DESIGN: Qualitative content analysis study. Syllabi were analyzed using MAXQDA Qualitative Data Analysis Software using a 2-coder approach. SETTING: SPPHs accredited by CEPH. PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-eight syllabi submitted to CEPH by 22 schools of public health and 54 programs of public health. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Exemplary language from advocacy courses and assignments and aggregate frequency of syllabi advocacy content and skills. RESULTS: Most advocacy courses (61%) were survey, health policy, or health care delivery courses, covering policy (66%), policy communication (46%), coalition-building (45%), lobbying (36%), community organizing (33%), and media advocacy (24%) skills. Only 7% prioritized advocacy skill instruction, and 10% addressed how to advocate in an equitable way. CONCLUSIONS: Defining public health advocacy and essential skills is crucial. Issuing competency guidelines, supporting advocacy faculty, offering standardized training, and expanding experiential learning are important first steps. More research is needed on how academic institutions are incorporating equity skill training into courses, whether separate from or combined with advocacy skills.

Becoming an academic scientist is neither linear nor formulaic. Rather, graduate education is mostly an apprenticeship without a discrete curriculum, clear sign posts of progress, or specific training metrics. In this science and society article I offer a few thoughts from my own experience for what a student beginning this journey might want to learn.

Las autoridades educativas recomiendan la introducción de las humanidades en los planes de estudio de las carreras en ciencias de la salud para mejorar la formación de sus graduados. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en determinar el número de trabajos de fin de grado realizados en el campo de las humanidades en tres estudios de ciencias de la salud. Se revisaron todos los trabajos de fin de grado realizados durante 7 cohortes (2013-2020) en los grados de Biología Humana y de Medicina de la Unversidad Pompeu Fabra y durante 6 cohortes (2015-2021) del grado de Medicina en una unidad docente de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. El volumen de trabajos de fin de grado en humanidades fue discreto en los dos estudios de Medicina (inferior al 10 %) y superior en el grado de Biología Humana (15,5 %). Una importante mayoría de los trabajos hacían referencia a temas de interés social. También, en los tres grados se realizaron trabajos sobre aspectos que afectaban a los propios estudiantes, y sobre temas de docencia y el uso del cine o de las series de televisión para fomentar el aprendizaje. Parece conveniente fomentar un mayor interés en la realización de trabajos de fin de grado centrados en temas humanísticos.(AU)
Educational authorities recommend the incorporation of humanities into the curricula of health science programs to enhance the education of their graduates. The aim of this study was to determine the number of final degree projects focused on humanities in three health science programs. All final degree projects completed during 7 cohorts (2013-2020) in the Human Biology and Medicine programs at Pompeu Fabra University, and during 6 cohorts (2015-2021) in the Medicine program at an affiliated teaching unit of the Autonomous University of Barcelona were reviewed. The volume of humanities-based final degree projects was modest in the two Medicine programs (less than 10%) and higher in the Human Biology program (15.5%). The majority of the projects addressed topics of social interest. Additionally, in all three programs, projects were carried out on issues affecting the students themselves, as well as on teaching-related subjects and the use of movies or TV series to enhance learning. Encouragement is given to cultivate a stronger interest in pursuing undergraduate projects centered around humanistic themes.(AU)
