On November 8, 2013, the Leaders in Medicine (LIM) program hosted the 5th Annual Research Symposium. Dr. Jerrold Ellner, Chief of the Infectious Diseases section at Boston Medical Centre and Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine, was the keynote speaker and presented his lecture entitled “Tuberculosis – Past, Present and Future”. The LIM symposium gives a forum for LIM as well as non-LIM medical students to present their research work as either an oral or poster presentation. There were a total of 53 abstracts presented and five oral presentations. The symposium was attended by over 100 students and more than 30 staff members. The oral presentations included • Amrita Roy, Aboriginal identity, ethnic minority status, and prenatal depressive symptoms in a longitudinal pregnancy cohort study in Alberta. • David Nicholl, Obstructive sleep apnea treatment with continuous positive airway pressure decreases intraglomerular pressure and alters renal sensitivity to angiotensin. • James Cotton, An assemblage A Giardia cathepsin B protease degrades interleukin-8 and attenuates neutrophil chemotaxis. • Krystyna Ediger, Alexander Arnold and Emily Shelton, Rebuilding the Calgary Student Run Clinic: A Model for Sustainability. • Sarah MacEachern, Inhibiting inducible nitric oxide synthase restores electrogenic ion transport in experimental IBD: a novel role for enteric glia. See the article on the University of Calgary Leaders in Medicine Program, “A Prescription that Addresses the Decline of Basic Science Education in Medical School” in this same issue of CIM for more details on the program. In short, the LIM Research Symposium has the following objectives: (1) to showcase the impressive variety of projects undertaken by students in the LIM Program as well as U of C medical students; (2) to encourage medical student participation in research and special projects; and, (3) to inform students and faculty about the diversity of opportunities available for research and special projects during medical school and beyond. The following abstracts are those that were put forward for publication.

BackgroundThis study was conducted to systematically review the existing literature examining the prevalence of anxiety among hospital staff and identifying the contributing factors to address the complications of this disorder and develop effective programmes for reducing the complications of this mental health problem.MethodsWe searched the electronic databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar from January 2020 to February 2021. To perform meta-analysis, the random effects model was used. To assess the statistical heterogeneity of the included studies, the I2 index was used, and 95% CI was estimated. Data analysis was performed by R software.ResultsIn the final analysis, 46 articles with the total sample size of 61 551 hospital staff members were included. Accordingly, anxiety prevalence among healthcare workers (HCWs) was 26.1% (95% CI 19% to 34.6%). The prevalence rates of anxiety in health technicians and medical students were 39% (95% CI 13% to 73%) and 36% (95% CI 15% to 65%), respectively, indicating a much higher prevalence than other hospital staff members. Furthermore, a positive significant relationship between prevalence of anxiety among HCWs and their age was approved (p<0.001). The prevalence rate of anxiety was higher among women 37.7% (95% CI 25.4% to 51.8%) than men 27.2% (95% CI 18.2% to 38.6%).ConclusionThe findings show a moderately high prevalence rate of anxiety in hospital staff. Due to the high prevalence of this mental health problem in health technicians, medical students and frontline health workers, it is highly suggested that healthcare institutions offer mental health programmes for these working groups in order to appropriately manage anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract Background: Sexual violence has globally been recognized as harmful to young people’s health. In medical school, which is a highly competitive environment, the risk is supposedly even bigger. In this study we firstly aimed to investigate the magnitude and precipitating factors of sexual violence in medical students and specialty registrars in Flanders, Belgium. Secondly, we wanted to assess the reactive behaviours as well as the knowledge of possible types of bystander reactions as well as potential support resources for victims of sexual violence. Methods: This study was initiated and coordinated by the Flemish medical student representation organisation (VGSO). A survey containing demographic and behaviour-specific questions based on the UNMENAMAIS and SAS-V questionnaire was sent to all undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students of the 5 medical schools in Flanders. Participants were asked to limit their responses to internship-related events. Further questions concerning reactions to sexual violence, assailants, bystander reactions and general knowledge concerning support after sexual violence were asked. Results: We received 3015 valid responses to our survey, obtaining a response rate of 29% in the potential target population. Within the total study population, 1168 of 3015 participants (38,73%) reported having been victim of at least one type of sexual violence as explored by our survey. This percentage was the highest in GP specialty registrars (53%), followed by specialty registrars (50%) and master students (39%). Assailants of sexual violence varied, most often they were medical staff members, students or patients. In most types of sexual violence, nobody reacted to this behaviour. Women (57.3%) talked about what happened afterwards more often than men (39.7%). When asked about their knowledge of possible bystander reactions and support services for sexual violence, 60% of the respondents did not know about their existence. Conclusions: Sexual violence is still a relatively frequent issue in medical students and specialty registrars. Patients form an important part of the assailants. In a third of reported sexual violence cases, nobody reacted. In addition, male victims seem to underreport. There is still much need for sensitisation on support mechanisms and centres for victims and witnesses of sexual violence.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate how many medical students depends on YouTube medical videos as resources of their medical knowledge. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample and validated questionnaires were distributed to medical students anonymously from the students on the medical college of Qassim University in Saudi Arabia. The study includes all male medical students and excludes the females medical students and staff members. The total number of medical students is 191 students. Results: Up to 95.3% (n= 182) of the total sample use YouTube in their education. The majority of them believe that the medical videos more understandable compared to the written lectures. Also, many students usually sharing medical videos with their colleagues. In addition, around 70% of students think that YouTube medical videos help in relating basic and clinical sciences together. Conclusion: Today social media have very important role in learning and YouTube one of the most important and effective websites in learning especially in medical field. But still the students need a specific website for medical videos under the organization of specialized tutors. In addition, medical colleges need to encourage social media usage in education.
