Abstract:

Greater understanding of the ways in which medical trainees perceive the doctor-patient relationship could inform future developments in educational provision. A qualitative study was conducted, using a case study approach to explore the perceptions of postgraduate trainees in two medical specialties, general practice (GP) and otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat surgery, ENT), in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Following a scoping exercise in 2002, interviews with 20 trainees (10 GP and 10 ENT) in 2004 and questionnaires from 16 ENT and 89 GP trainees in 2007 explored trainees

Abstract:

Over 15,000 master’s and doctoral degree students in the United States were denied admission to nursing schools in 2014 because of insufficient nursing faculty. In 2016, over 64,000 undergraduate and graduate students were unable to gain admission to nursing school due to the effects of faculty shortages. This project explored the role of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)-prepared nurse in academic settings using a systematic review of the literature to determine the role of DNP-prepared nurses in academia.

Abstract:

The practice of medicine is complex and challenging. Medical practitioners require a range of capabilities to practice effectively and consistently over a long career. Selection for the capacity to develop these capabilities and education to build them are becoming increasingly important in a rapidly-changing society that demands a return on its investment in medical schools and post-registration training. Although the range of capabilities required for trainee and graduate doctors is described in the medical student selection and education literature, the viewpoints of privileged stakeholders
