Culinary Medicine

Background: Elective culinary medicine education has become popular to help fill important gaps in physician nutrition training. The implementation and outcomes among the inaugural cohort of medical students who received culinary medicine training as a required component of medical school curriculum at the University of Maryland School of Medicine are described. Methods: Following a series of elective pilot sessions, culinary medicine training was provided to all first-year medical students in the 2019-2020 academic year. The 3-hour training included evidence-based nutrition lecture, cooking simple recipes, and group discussion of the application to personal and patient care. Pre-/postsession questionnaires assessed nutrition knowledge, skills, and attitudes as well as nutritional counseling confidence. Paired t-tests estimated mean differences in outcomes pre- and posttraining. Qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis. Results: Overall, 119 of 125 (95.2%) students provided pre- and posttraining outcomes data. All nutritional and patient counseling outcomes improved ( P < .05). Themes of being better prepared to address healthy eating barriers in patient care and personal ability to make healthy dietary changes were noted in qualitative analysis. Conclusion: One session of culinary medicine training in core medical student curriculum was feasible and improved medical student nutrition knowledge, skills, and attitudes and confidence in patient nutrition counseling.

Psychological Dimensions

Five computerized role-playing scenarios, which accept unrestricted natural language input, were developed and administered to seventy-two freshman medical students. The scenarios, written in CASIP, measured and automatically scored each response on five psychological dimensions: Social skills, level of frustration, submissiveness, combativeness, and negotiative ability. The programmed scenarios also monitored nonverbal dimensions, which may reflect the emotional state of the testee. These included: The time it took to start an answer; the time spent reviewing the answer; the lengths of answers and of the words used. The testees behaved significantly different in handling the different role-playing scenarios. While no significant correlations were found between the psychological dimensions expressed in the different scenarios, the tests identified individual testees who displayed a pattern of extremes of psychological behavior.

Abstract The traditional curriculum for medical students in Japan does not include sufficient opportunity for the students to develop their skills for musculoskeletal examination and clinical reasoning and diagnosis. So, many residents report a lack of confidence in performing these tasks. Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of peer role-playing to improving these skills among 90 women medical students who were completing their first orthopaedic clinical clerkship. Participants were allocated into two groups. One group participated in role-play (the simulation group) and the other did not participate in role-play because of the clerkship schedule or almanac circumstance (the no-simulation group). This program consisted of two modules: the simulation-based module and the outpatient encounter module. Each module included two sessions. The simulation-based module had two parts: a structured encounter with role-play for musculoskeletal cases, and a structured debriefing with the course supervisor including self-reflection. The students’ performance was observed and assessed using the mini clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) for musculoskeletal cases in the simulation-based module (Day1) and the outpatient encounter module (Day2). The simulation-based module increased the physical examination score on the mini-CEX because of the encounters with real-life patients with musculoskeletal symptoms. This result suggests that role-play as a peer enhancing simulation may help to improve the competency of medical students in performing a musculoskeletal physical examination in a clinical setting.
