  • Biopsy

    Open AccessKatherine C ChretienARTICLEAcademic Medicine2023

    “If I were you, I would want the biopsy. It is likely benign, but I’m worried about the speed of growth.” I looked at the radiologist, probably my age, wondering how experienced he was as my worry crept back in. Before this, the surgeon was very confident it was nothing. She had pushed away the ultrasound machine, reassured by the familiar density and characteristics, wiping away my doubts and fears with her assuredness. This follow-up mammogram …

  • Matching into competitive surgical residencies

    Open AccessJacob S Nasser, Anthony R Artino et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2023

    Evidence-informed data may help students matching into competitive residency programs guide curricular activities, extracurricular activities, and residency career choices.

  • How Did the Covid-19 Pandemic Impact Medical Students From Low- vs Higher-Socioeconomic Status Backgrounds? A Multicenter U.S. Survey Study

    Open AccessAnastasia Pozdnyakova Piersa, Marco Rivas et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022

    Purpose: Medical schools’ efforts to prioritize student diversity often focus on visible identities. While many schools have focused on increasing student representation from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, efforts to address invisible aspects of diversity, such as socioeconomic status (SES), have been more limited. However, invisible aspects of diversity, such as SES, also need to be addressed. 1,2 Low-SES medical students experience pers…

    Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to greatly disrupt medical education in the United States and may negatively impact the well-being of medical students, a population that already experiences high levels of baseline mental distress. 1–3 While research suggests that disaster situations can exacerbate mental distress in health care workers, medical student experiences are not well understood. 4 We conducted a national, cross-sectiona…

  • Re-demonstration without remediation – a missed opportunity? A national survey of internal medicine clerkship directors

    Open AccessMary R Hawthorne, Katherine C Chretien et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2014

    Most schools required passing clinical evaluations and NBME subject exam components to pass the medicine clerkship, but there was variability in other requirements. Most schools allowed students to simply re-take the component for a first-time failure. This study raises the question of whether true remediation is being undertaken before students are asked to re-demonstrate competence in a failed area of the clerkship to be ready for the subintern…

  • Social media policies at US medical schools

    Open AccessTerry Kind, Gillian L Genrich et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2010

    Medical schools and their students are using social media. Almost all US medical schools have a Facebook presence, yet most do not have policies addressing student online social networking behavior. While social media use rises, policy informing appropriate conduct in medical schools lags behind. Established policies at some medical schools can provide a blueprint for others to adopt and adapt
