AIMS: This scoping review aimed to systematically examine the breadth of available evidence on mental health is…

We created a deductive three-level code system followed by an inductive code s…

To gain such insights regarding the Swiss NLE, which includes a multiple-choice and a standardised clinical skills exam, we explored the perceptions of involved experts and stakeholders. METHODS: We explored participants' perceptions in four focus group discussions. The interviews were recorded, transcribed v…
