Problem-based learning (PBL) is a modern strategy used in many higher education institutions. The coronavirus pandemic in 2020 urged universities and other educational institutions around the world to close, leading to the shift to online learning as an alternative in order to overcome delays in the education process. The Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences (BMS) at the Libyan International Medical University (LIMU) has adopted the PBL method as a key element in its teaching strategy. The Faculty started a trial for online PBL sessions during the lockdown period to evaluate the student experience at BMS. Here, we used a binary questionnaire where responses of 293 students were anonymously collected. Overall, there was a positive response of about 76%. Each of the questionnaire elements scored at least 73% which reflects general satisfaction with the online PBL experience. However, there seemed to be considerable variation in the responses of the different year groups. First year students reported the highest overall positive response on the experience whereas third year students were overall less satisfied. In addition, this variation in responses was more pronounced when students were asked about the organisation of the session and problems with internet connectivity. This may be due to the fact that the more senior year groups were interviewed first and there was a continuous adjustment of the online PBL strategy throughout the time for this trial. Our study also showed that among the different online PBL aspects surveyed in the questionnaire, the clarity of instructions was the most important element determining the effectiveness of online PBL. Overall, this questionnaire shows that online PBL can be a decent alternative to traditional PBL during crises.

AimsThird year Medical students from the International Medical University, Malaysia were assessed regarding their commonly held attitudes and beliefs for the mental illness in general as well as with respect to psychiatry as a faculty through a survey monkey based survey,BackgroundCommonly held perceptions and prejudices often can be overcame by education and early exposure to facts which also holds true with medical students and their attitude as well as expectations to psychiatry. Ever growing awareness regarding the Mental illness has helped but is unable to complete address the stigma and prejudices associated with it. Also Early exposure to psychiatry in medical education can provide a positive experience to medical students including germinating an interest in psychiatry as a career choice among the students.Method42 students of 3rd and 4th year medical school from International Medical University, Malaysia, some without any exposure to psychiatry, were participated in a survey created on a cloud based online survey link and responded to a questionnaire about the attitude and belief towards mental Illness as well as Psychiatry as a career choice. The results were analysed and data interpreted.ResultMost students (85%) though agreed that psychiatry is a rapidly expanding frontier of medicine sadly only 20% stated that it would be one of the top three career choice. Just under the 50% of the students stated that the psychiatric patients are more likely to harm others. About 95% felt that psychiatric consultations of patients with medical and surgical health problems would be helpful and 90% students shared that they would not feel embarrassed about someone from their family if diagnosed with mental illness.ConclusionPsychiatric exposure in medical education has been recognised as inadequate in general and often exposing medical students to psychiatry early helps improving the stigma and prejudices associated with mental illness. It will also give them sufficient exposure to assess the illness holistically keeping mental health in mind while treating physically ill people and also may inspire them to choose psychiatry as a career choice in a rapidly developing and conservative country such as Malaysia where mental health services are largely inadequate and is the second biggest health issue.

In the past decades, a number of researchers have tried hard to identify the move-step structure of different sections in research articles (RAs) from various disciplines. However, there is a very few amount of previous studies conducted on the move-step structure of the Introduction section of English medical science research articles (MSRAs) written by Chinese researchers published in international journals. In order to fill this gap, the present study aims to identify the moves, steps, and their structure of the Introduction section of English MSRAs written by Chinese researchers at Zunyi Medical University (ZMU) published in international journals. To create the target corpus of the present study, 30 Introductions were purposively selected from 25 international medical science journals, which were published from 2007 to 2015. It is worth noting that all the authors are restricted to Chinese researchers only and at least one author must come from ZMU. The framework of Kanoksilapatham’s (2005) was adopted for the move-step analysis in the present study. The results demonstrated that these Introduction sections were generally written with three moves following the selected framework. In addition, there were two new steps that occurred in the Introduction section of these English MSRAs. In conclusion, the findings of the present study might provide a guideline for the research who plan to write English MSRAs for international articles more effectively. Moreover, the findings may provide valuable information for academic writing textbook designers as well.

Background & objectives:Existence of anxiety and depression among students has growing tendency in the world. Purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression among international medical students studying in Georgia and their association with the body weight and blood pressure level. Methods: 70 international medical students (mean age±SD 22.67±2.65) were included in the study. All participantsfilled in anonymous questionnaires, which included socio-demographic data, blood pressure level, presence of diabetes mellitus, eating habits and body mass index (BMI). For an assessment of anxiety and depression was used Hospital Scale of Anxiety and Depression. Results:In comparison with hypertensive or prehypertensive population, normotensive subjects had significantly lower depression and anxiety scores (P<0.001 for both). Hypertensive students had higher anxiety score than prehypertensive individuals (P=0.03). Therefore, depression score was not different between hypertensive and prehypertensive subjects. Study showed a positive correlation between blood pressure, BMI, depression and anxiety scores (P<0.005). Interpretation and conclusion: High prevalence of depression, anxiety, prehypertension, non-healthy eating habits and lifestyle among international medical students points out on the need to identify and treat mental health problems as early as possible to prevent possible serious sequelae.
