  • Screen-based simulation assessment for emergency medicine learners

    Open AccessPatrick Zeniecki, Rebecca Kamens et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Education2026

    BACKGROUND: Simulation has played a vital role in training medical professionals. The COVID-19 Pandemic has highlighted the need for physically distant educational assessment methods. Screen-based simulation (SBS) demonstrates one alternative to traditional in-person simulation methods to assess learners clinical reasoning and communication skills. This study aims to compare in-person simulation to SBS as assessment methods in Emergency Medicine …

  • The first cut is the deepest

    Open AccessDimitrios Papanagnou, Leela Raj et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Education2026

    BACKGROUND: As third-year medical students transition into high-stakes, high-stress clinical environments like the emergency department (ED), they may experience significant personal trauma. However, little is known about how this trauma is experienced early in their training - specifically during the transition from preclinical to clinical learning environments. This study addresses that gap by exploring third-year medical students' experiences …

  • Progression of Self-Directed Learning in Health Professions Education

    Open AccessDimitrios Papanagnou, Stephanie Corliss et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2024

    As the complexity ofmedical knowledge and clinical practice continues to grow, physicians and physicians-intrainingmust learn to identify gaps in their knowledge and understand and engage in self-directed learning (SDL) in pursuit of academic goals and improved clinical performance. There is a lack of consensus, however, on the precise definition of SDL and how it relates to self-regulated learning (SRL) and co-regulated learning (CRL). We propos…

  • Intolerance of uncertainty and attitudes towards persons living with disabilities in medical students

    Open AccessMartinique Ogle, Dimitrios Papanagnou et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction Patients living with a disability experience an illness trajectory that may be uncertain. While navigating clinical uncertainty has been well-researched, health professionals’ intolerance of uncertainty for patients living with disabilities has yet to be explored. We examined the relationship between medical students’ intolerance of uncertainty with their attitudes towards people living with disabilities to better inform curricular e…

  • Communicating Diagnostic Uncertainty at Emergency Department Discharge

  • An Examination of Trauma-Informed Medical Education in the Emergency Medicine Clerkship

    Open AccessDimitrios Papanagnou, Giselle Appel et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2023

    Purpose: During the Emergency Medicine (EM) clerkship, medical students are immersed in high-stress, traumatic incidents with their patients and clinical teams. Trauma-informed medical education (TIME) applies trauma-informed care principles to help students manage this trauma. We sought to collect, describe, and analyze medical students’ EM clerkship experiences from the lens of the TIME framework to guide curriculum development. We applied the …

  • Preparing Medical Students for Uncertainty in Clinical Practice

    Dimitrios Papanagnou, Nethra Ankam et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    Uncertainty abounds in the clinical environment. Medical students, however, are not explicitly prepared for situations of uncertainty in clinical practice, which can result in students’ anxiety and impact their well-being. To address this gap, we aimed to provide recommendations that would better inform a curriculum that prepares students to acknowledge and navigate uncertainty in clinical practice. We sought to: (1) capture students’ general sel…

  • Towards a medical school curriculum for uncertainty in clinical practice

    Open AccessDimitrios Papanagnou, Nethra Ankam et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2021

    Uncertainty abounds in the clinical environment. Medical students, however, are not explicitly prepared for situations of uncertainty in clinical practice, which can cause anxiety and impact well-being. To address this gap, we sought to capture how students felt in various clinical scenarios and identify programs they found helpful as they worked through uncertainty in their clerkships to better inform curriculum that prepares them to acknowledge…

The school is distinguished in the quantity and depth of student community engagement. S…

  • Development of the Uncertainty Communication Checklist

    Open AccessKristin L Rising, Rhea E Powell et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2020

    Clear communication with patients upon emergency department (ED) discharge is important for patient safety during the transition to outpatient care. Over one-third of patients are discharged from the ED with diagnostic uncertainty, yet there is no established approach for effective discharge communication in this scenario. From 2017 to 2019, the authors developed the Uncertainty Communication Checklist for use in simulation-based training and ass…

  • Zooming‐out Covid‐19

    Open AccessShruti Chandra, Chaiya Laoteppitaks et al.ARTICLEMedical Education2020

    In the setting of the novel 2019 coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic, it has been challenging to provide medical students in the Emergency Medicine (EM) clerkship meaningful clinical experiences that would meet clinical course goals and objectives, as well as satisfy Liaison Committee for Medical Education (LCME) requirements. During the EM clerkship, students play an integral role in interviewing patients, formulating treatment plans, facilitating p…
