Summary: This study demonstrates that academic engagement acts as a protective factor against the impact of burnout on dropout intention among medical students. It also highlights the associations between social support satisfaction and adaptive coping with increased levels of academic engagement, and general distress and maladaptive coping with burnout. Therefore, medical schools should develop interventions to prevent dropout intention, address students' stress and academic challenges, and improve their levels of academic engagement.

Summary: This paper analyzes the assessment of engineering professors of different nationalities and universities regarding the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies in the classroom. The results indicate that engineering teachers give high evaluations to VR as a didactic tool, but show a certain lack of knowledge and specific training regarding its use. Furthermore, there is a gap between private and public universities, where private university professors express overall higher evaluations of VR than public university professors.

Summary: This study surveyed US medical schools on recent trends in anatomy education, the impact of COVID-19 on anatomy teaching, and future directions of anatomy curricula. The results showed that most schools have made significant changes to their anatomy courses in the past five years. COVID-19 has led to a decrease in hands-on learning, teaching of clinical correlates, and radiology in anatomy courses. The study highlights the importance of maximizing interactive learning and suggests incorporating virtual-reality applications or 3D anatomy software in the future.

Summary: According to a study conducted in 2019, anatomy education for medical students in the United Kingdom and Ireland is predominantly taught through system-based or hybrid curriculums, with a majority of medical schools utilizing human cadavers for teaching. There has been a significant increase in the number of part-time staff, particularly anatomy demonstrators. Despite the integration of various anatomy sub-disciplines, there has been an average reduction in the total hours dedicated to anatomy education over the past 20 years.

Summary: Medical education studies often focus on bias and social identities such as race, gender, and profession, but neglect the interactions between multiple identities. By applying the lens of intersectionality, new insights into intergroup relations can be gained, leading to strategies for mitigating bias and inequities. Bias towards various social identities impacts learners' experiences and professional development, requiring strategies that promote reflection, in-group cohesion, and challenge stereotypes.

Summary: This scoping review mapped existing research on the use of VR in undergraduate medical education, showing widespread use of commercially available VR simulators for surgical training and anatomy education. However, there is limited evidence on the use of novel VR modalities and non-surgical/non-anatomical skills training, indicating the need for further exploration in these areas.

Summary: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many universities have switched to emergency remote teaching (ERT), which has both advantages and disadvantages for both instructors and students. Instructors identified more barriers than supports during the transition to ERT, while students described pre-existing course structure, classroom technology, and community as best supporting their learning. Overall, this research helps us understand the challenges and opportunities of ERT and provides valuable insights for future emergency situations.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effects of stress, depression, and anxiety on academic burnout according to the clinical practice experience of nursing students. The results showed that stress, anxiety, and depression were positively correlated with academic burnout. Anxiety and depression explained 44% of academic burnout in students without clinical practice experience, while stress and major satisfaction explained 33% of academic burnout in students with clinical practice experience.

Summary: Despite the focus on competency in health professions education, the role of confidence in preparing for practice has been overlooked. This paper explores the importance of confidence and its calibration in relation to competence, highlighting the need to consider both confidence and competence in competency-based medical education. The Confidence-Competence Ratio (CCR) can serve as a key construct in developing mindful and capable health professionals, and future research should focus on evaluating strategies for assessing CCR and guiding self-calibration.
