Interprofessional education (IPE)—where students from different fields like nursing, pharmacy, and medicine train together—is vital for reducing medical errors, yet accommodating conflicting department schedules remains a massive logistical hurdle. How can clinical coordinators design flexible simulated team-training protocols that deliver rigorous IPE without disrupting traditional course blocks? Or does the benefit of IPE outweigh the disruption of traditional scheduling? How is your institution navigating interprofessional education?  ... View more

Integrating artificial intelligence and mixed reality into health and medicine programs has brought clinical education to a major crossroads. ... View more

When evaluating public health interventions, clinicians must look past immediate, short-term data to find preventative strategies that yield measurable results over time. A robust new longitudinal study out of the University of Montreal, published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, provides exactly that kind of long-range empirical evidence for pediatric health. ...

The integration of automated diagnostic imaging algorithms into clinical workflows has created a unique pedagogical challenge during residency and clinical rotations. According to guidelines on digital health education from the American Medical Association (AMA), relying heavily on algorithmic diagnostic suggestions too early can inadvertently stunt a trainee's independent diagnostic reasoning. In your clinical programs, how do you explicitly evaluate a student’s fundamental diagnostic competence to ensure they don't over-rely on AI software before confirming clinical findings? ...

Nursing and medical programs frequently debate the psychological realism of utilizing standardized child actors versus high-fidelity robotic manikins for teaching high-stakes pediatric emergency responses. How do your clinical programs balance these modalities during summative assessments? Which simulation approach do you believe better develops a student’s clinical judgment and bedside communication when under pressure in the real world? ... View more
