Summary: This study aimed to compare the knowledge and interpretation ability of ChatGPT, an artificial general intelligence language model, with those of medical students in Korea by administering a parasitology examination. The results showed that ChatGPT's performance was lower than that of the medical students, and there was no correlation between its correct answer rate and the knowledge level of the items. However, there was a relationship between acceptable explanations and correct answers. Overall, ChatGPT's knowledge and interpretation ability were not comparable to those of medical students in Korea.

Summary: Problem-based learning (PBL) is an effective and satisfactory methodology for medical education, with higher levels of student satisfaction compared to traditional lecture-based methods. However, there is limited high-quality scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness, and its implementation may be hindered by resource and training requirements.

Summary: In the 2021 residency application cycle, a large number of otolaryngology applicants applied to more than half of the programs, increasing competition among applicants and making it difficult for programs to identify sincere interest. To address this issue, a preference signaling process was implemented, allowing applicants to indicate their interest in specific programs during the application submission. This process significantly increased the rate of interview offers from signaled programs compared to nonsignaled programs, and both applicants and program directors strongly favored continuing this program.

Summary: This study examines the relationship among cognitive, affective, and potential behavioral components of students' attitudes toward technology education and finds that girls and boys have different attitudes. A key factor for students' attitudes is their interest in technology education, which is related to both cognition and behavior. Girls in particular show a strong connection between cognition and behavioral intention, suggesting the need for a broader conception of technology education for girls to pursue technology-related careers.

Summary: This systematic review explored the transition to online learning for nonclinical undergraduate medical education activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most studies focused on rapidly converting existing offerings to online formats, with fewer describing novel activities. Teachers primarily used technology to enhance learning experiences, but challenges of online learning were also identified.

Summary: This article analyzes and argues the importance of distinguishing entrustable professional activities (EPAs) from competencies and skills in education, qualification, and patient safety. It identifies confusion between EPAs and competencies/skills, and offers ways to deal with training objectives that are not usefully conceptualized as EPAs. The article also discusses the links between entrustment decisions and EPAs, highlighting the potential for EPAs to lose their original meaning if used only as checkboxes for progression in training.

Summary: YouTube is not a reliable source of medical and health-related information. The quality of health-related content on YouTube is generally average to below-average. There is often no correlation or a negative correlation between the popularity and quality of the videos. YouTube should improve its ranking and recommender system to promote higher-quality content.
