Medical Education Continuum

BACKGROUND Video has been a powerful teaching and learning tool in medical education, enabling knowledge, skill and attitude formation in a variety of areas and reaching learners with various learning and communication styles. The millennial generation has grown up with video at their fingertips at any time and any place, and social networking sites such as YouTube enable the sharing of video amongst a vast online community. YouTube has emerged as a growing educational resource for both learners and medical educators. However, the usefulness of YouTube in supporting teaching and learning across the continuum of medical education has not been explored in detail. Given the increasing usage of YouTube in medical education, a review of the literature on YouTube and its utilization in medical education could inform more effective adoption and usage by institutions, educators, practitioners and learners. OBJECTIVE To explore the use of YouTube across the medical education continuum. METHODS A scoping review of the literature was performed. PubMed, ERIC and CINAHL were searched for literature on YouTube usage for medical education purposes published between 2005 and 2017 using a combination of search terms. Articles were screened using a defined set of inclusion criteria. Key items of information from each paper were collated using a data extraction tool and common themes from the literature were identified via thematic analysis. RESULTS Of the 113 articles initially identified in the literature search, 31 met inclusion criteria. Results show that a large number of YouTube videos exist across a variety of medical topic areas. However, only a small number of studies have evaluated the effectiveness of YouTube as an educational intervention and these are largely limited to learner satisfaction only. YouTube does offer the opportunity for educators to share videos and for learners to access a wide array of video materials. However, a majority of studies involving the assessment of content quality suggest that YouTube videos may be an inadequate source of information for learning due to the high variability of content. A key limitation in many of these studies was that searches were mainly restricted to publicly available video content. CONCLUSIONS There is a paucity of research and evaluative work surrounding the use of YouTube as an educational resource across the medical education continuum. The quality of the content on YouTube is highly variable due to a lack of peer-review. Further evaluation of the effective integration of YouTube in medical education would inform further understanding and future practice.

The Impact

Educational podcasts are developed specifically for learning purposes. Preliminary research suggests that many college courses and practitioners regularly use educational podcasts and that this medium is a beneficial tool to use to supplement the learning process. However, there is limited scholarly work examining the use of educational podcasts within kinesiology fields. Thus, the purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review of the literature on the use of educational podcasts in the field of kinesiology. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist guided this investigation. Six databases were searched. Fourteen articles met the full inclusion criteria. Of these, 11 were data-driven research articles, and three were practitioner articles. Much of the research identified lacked critical information related to research design, instrument development, and findings. Thus, the authors recommend that more rigorous research in this area be conducted to discern the impact of educational podcasts within the field of kinesiology.

Abstract Background: Learning style (LS) is the theoretical assumption that each individual has a better form for cognitive processing throughout learning. In medical education, LS has been studied as a tool to optimize medical learning. Teaching in the postgraduate medical environment embraces specific methodological aspects for mastering medical abilities and LS inventories have been widely used for enhance learning. However, no review has been done on this subject until this date. Therefore, a scoping review was performed to explore the extent of evidence on LS and postgraduate medical education. Methods: a systematic scoping review was performed according to PRISMA - ScR and JBI guidelines. We searched MEDLINE, ERIC, LILACS and SCIELO virtual library on February 2020. A peer review was performed with blinding of both investigators and any divergence was resolved by consensus. Searching strategy, search terms, exclusion and inclusion criteria and data charting were structured prior to the beginning of the study. Data was summarized and collated. Analysis of the quality of the evidence was also performed using specific tools.Results: 211 studies were obtained with the search engine after duplicates were removed. Of these, 40 were selected after applying exclusion and inclusion criteria. Two other studies were excluded post initial screening. The majority of studies were from United States. General surgery, internal medicine and family medicine were the specialties that had most studies on LS. Kolb LSI was the most used LS inventory. The majority of studies were observational with a cross sectional design (34 out of 38). Only four studies were RCTs with a low quality of evidence and a high risk of bias. It was also seen that LS may change through training, with work-hours and areas of specialty training.Conclusion: There is a lack of high quality studies to provide reliable evidence for the utilization of LS in postgraduate medical education and it is desirable for more Cohort or Randomized Control Trials in this area for a more robust evidence.

ABSTRACTInadequate public transportation was recognized as a barrier to social participation, especially for older adults in rural communities and with mobility issues. Older adults will not benefit from opportunities to engage with their community and maintain social networks if they are unable to access them. The purpose of this scoping review was to make recommendations for further research and to summarize areas for improvement identified in the literature that will aid in the development of public transportation initiatives that can better address social isolation for older adults (≥ 55 years of age). Nineteen articles met the inclusion criteria, identifying themes of access to rural public transportation, issues with public transportation, and mobility. In practice, older adults need to prepare for driving cessation and mobility transitions; sound policy requires input to tailor transportation initiatives to an aging population, and future research should explore older adults’ transportation needs and potential solutions in urban and rural communities.

The objective of this review was to identify and describe telehealth models of care for ophthalmic services. We conducted a scoping review of the literature to identify how ophthalmic care can be delivered by telehealth. We searched the PubMed database to identify relevant articles which were screened based on pre-defined inclusion criteria. For included articles, data were extracted, categorised and analysed. Synthesis of findings was performed narratively. The scoping review included 78 articles describing 62 discrete tele-ophthalmic models of care. Tele-ophthalmic models of care can be used for consultative service, screening, triage and remote supervision. The majority of services were for general eye care and triage ( n = 17; 26%) or emergency services ( n = 8; 12%). The most common conditions for disease-specific models of care were diabetic retinopathy ( n = 14; 21%), and glaucoma ( n = 8; 12%). Most models of care involved local clinicians capturing images and transmitting them to an ophthalmologist for assessment. This scoping review demonstrated tele-ophthalmology to be feasible for consultation, screening, triage and remote supervision applications across a broad range of ophthalmic conditions. A large number of models of care have been identified and described in this review. Considerable collaboration between patient-end clinicians and substantial infrastructure is typically required for tele-ophthalmology.

Abstract While video is a powerful teaching and learning tool because it can influence knowledge, skills, and attitude formation effectively and reach learners with various learning and communication styles, there are pedagogical, technical, and copyright considerations. Instructors must know sources of appropriate videos, select effective video segments, apply various strategies for incorporating video triggers into the overall educational process, refine the message, overcome technological obstacles, and comply with copyright laws. One might ask, “Is using video triggers to improve your teaching worth it?” “Yes!” Numerous studies demonstrate that using video in many medical education settings supports and enhances learning and offers a bigger advantage in contrast with traditional methods.

Medical Billing

Abstract Introduction The World Health Organization has suggested the solution to health system waste caused by incorrect billing and fraud is policing and prosecution. However, a growing body of evidence suggests leakage may not always be fraudulent or corrupt, with researchers suggesting medical practitioners may sometimes struggle to understand increasingly complex legal requirements around health financing and billing transactions, which may be improved through education. To explore this phenomenon further, we undertook a scoping review of the literature to identify the medical billing education needs of medical practitioners and whether those needs are being met. Methods Eligible records included English language materials published between 1 January 2000 and 4 May 2020. Searches were conducted on MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, LexisNexis and Heinonline. Results We identified 74 records as directly relevant to the search criteria. Despite undertaking a comprehensive, English language search, with no country restrictions, studies meeting the inclusion criteria were limited to three countries (Australia, Canada, US), indicating a need for further work internationally. The literature suggests the education needs of medical practitioners in relation to medical billing compliance are not being met and medical practitioners desire more education on this topic. Evidence suggests education may be effective in improving medical billing compliance and reducing waste in health systems. There is broad agreement amongst medical education stakeholders in multiple jurisdictions that medical billing should be viewed as a core competency of medical education, though there is an apparent inertia to include this competency in medical education curricula. Penalties for non-compliant medical billing are serious and medical practitioners are at risk of random audits and investigations for breaches of sometimes incomprehensible, and highly interpretive regulations they may never have been taught. Conclusion Despite acknowledged significance of waste in health systems due to poor practitioner knowledge of billing practices, there has been very little research to date on education interventions to improve health system efficiency at a practitioner level.

Background: Feedback is an important part in teaching and learning process that serve as a catalyst to enhance learners’ achievement. In medical education, the importance of feedback has been recognized for learners at all level; undergraduate and postgraduate, in preclinical and clinical phases for more that twenty years. This literature review wants to explore what is the effective feedback for medical students and what are the factors that affect giving feedback?Method: Relevant literatures are selected as basis of recommendations on giving feedback in medical education.Results: The eighteen articles that fulfill the inclusion criteria have been collected from several resources include Medline, Pubmed and ERIC databases. Characteristics of effective feedback have been identified from those articles include positive, specific, private, well-timing, non-judgmental, interaction with sender, immediately given, from expert content, simple, and task oriented. While the factors affect giving feedback fall into four topics: the content of feedback, the method of delivery, sender credibility and training.Conclusion: Feedback in medical education has an essential role to enhance students’ learning behavior. Four factors that were affecting feedback delivery are content of the feedback, feedback delivery method, feedback provider’s credibility, and also training in feedback delivery.

Abstract The accreditation standards developed by WFME are acknowledged as regulatory mechanism for quality assurance of medical education programs. The scoping review aims to collect all the published and unpublished evidence based on the inclusion criteria, to identify the barriers affecting the implementation of quality curriculum defined by WFME. It summarizes and presents the evidence-based challenges faced by middle and low income countries for accreditation process. The literature was searched using search terms, `challenges of WFME accreditation’, `barriers to accreditation’, `challenges to accreditation in health care system’, `hindrances to WFME accreditation standards’, `barriers to WFME standards’, in PubMed, ERIC, PsycINFO databases and Google scholar (for grey literature) to find the evidence published within last 10 years. This search strategy retrieved 922 publications and only 19 articles fulfill the inclusion criteria. A All those studies, which address the barriers or challenges to implementation of accreditation standards in medical education, were included. The inhibitors to implementation of curriculum in course other than medical education were excluded from the study. The included studies address the barriers to nine areas of WFME standards. The data was charted and QualSyst appraisal tool was used to appraise the quality of studies included in review. The eligibility of selected articles was carried out by using the validated QualSyst checklist to assess the quality of included studies.  The scoping review will inform and lay the foundation for more empirical studies on quality improvement in health professions education particularly in low and middle-income countries.
