Lost in learning
Although the first MHPE programme was established over half a century ago, their number around the world has risen sharply in the last decade. MHPEs typically cater for learners with professional backgrounds in clinical and biomedical science, who can struggle with the transition to the social science frameworks of education. We chose poetry to capture the complex personal and professional tensions and contradictions that can colour this transiti…
Perceptions of academic leaders in low- and middle-income countries about the role of WFME in enhancing the quality of medical education
Despite the significant proportion of medical schools located in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), little is known about how educational leaders in these contexts perceive various roles of the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) and its connection with the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). This article aims to explore how the role of WFME is perceived by medical educators and accrediting body members …
Global research agenda for medical education regulation
BACKGROUND: Although medical education regulation is widely practised and given substantial resource and priority by policymakers and leaders, there is little empirical evidence to support it or guide regulation practices at an international level. In recent years, international and cross-border accreditation systems have gained prominence, often linked to migratory opportunities for graduating physicians. Given the high-stakes nature of regulati…
Power and place
Quality improvement
The 2023 State of the Science guest editors (and colleagues) reflect on the many definitions of quality and challenges created for a field that emphasises quality improvement
Quality and constructed knowledge
Mental health in immigrant men and women in Australia
Men from non-English speaking backgrounds men may be at increased risk of mental health problems but do not have higher levels of treatment. Help-seeking may need to be encouraged among this group, particularly among unmarried, unemployed men from non-English speaking backgrounds
Vitamin D levels in an Australian population
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in South Australia, affecting almost one quarter of the population and levels are related to activity, obesity and season even when adjusted for confounding factors. Improved methods of addressing vitamin D levels in population are required
Heat Waves and Climate Change
Heat waves are considered a health risk and they are likely to increase in frequency, intensity and duration as a consequence of climate change. The effects of heat waves on human health could be reduced if individuals recognise the risks and adopt healthy behaviours during a heat wave. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of risk perception using a heat wave scenario and identify the constructs of the health belief model tha…
Awareness of and Attitudes towards Heat Waves within the Context of Climate Change among a Cohort of Residents in Adelaide, Australia
Heat waves are a public health concern in Australia and unprecedented heat waves have been recorded in Adelaide over recent years. The aim of this study was to examine the perception and attitudes towards heat waves in the context of climate change among a group of residents in Adelaide, an Australian city with a temperate climate. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the summer of 2012 among a sample of 267 residents. The results of the surv…
SP1-65 Prevalence and incidence of chronic conditions in an Australian population based cohort study
Introduction The North West Adelaide Health Study is a representative population cohort study of approximately 4000 adults aged 18 years and over in the northern and western regions of Adelaide. Cohort assessment has been conducted over a 10-year period to provide baseline and ongoing information about chronic disease and health-related risk factor status from self-reported and biomedically measured data. The study identifies those across the chr…
Gender-specific epidemiology of diabetes
The results found that men and women with diabetes face different challenges in the management of their condition. Public health implications include a need for quality surveillance data, including epidemiological life course, social, behavioural, genetic and environmental factors. This will enrich the evidence base for health promotion professionals and allow policy makers to draw inferences and conclusions for interventions and planning purpose…
Do people with risky behaviours participate in biomedical cohort studies
People with risky behaviours participated in this health study in the same proportions as people without these risk factors
