A systematic scoping review of communication skills training in medical schools between 2000 and 2020

This is to guide their future design in medical school curricula. METHODS: The Systematic Evidence-Based Approach (SEBA) was used to guide concurrent SSRs of teaching and assess…

However, despite its clinical significance there is little consistency in how professionalism is nurtured amongst medical students. To address this gap a systemic scoping review of nurturing professionalism in medical schools, is proposed.Methods: Levac’s framework …

Taste, alcohol content, and wort sufficiently cooked were perceived as major criteria for the dolo qua…
