Abstract Background To optimize faculty and trainee wellness without compromising patient care and trainee education, it is important to develop efficient team rounding strategies. This quality improvement project describes rounding practices and suggestions for optimizing rounding efficiency on Infectious Diseases (ID) inpatient consult services at a large academic institution. Methods An anonymous survey on rounding strategies was distributed to the ID Section at Baylor College of Medicine in February 2019 as part of a facilitated discussion on optimizing clinical education for fellows. Results Twenty-seven members of the ID section completed the survey (17 faculty, 10 fellows). Fellows reported rounding for a median of 4 hours per day (range 3–5), while faculty reported 4.5 hours (range 2–5.5). When asked what time fellows should start their workday, the median response was 7:30 am from both fellows (range 6:30–8 am) and faculty (range 7–8 am). When asked what time fellows should end their work day, the median response was 5:30 pm from both fellows (range 5–6 pm) and faculty (range 5–7 pm). Fellows reported signing their last note at 5:30 pm (range 5–9 pm), vs. 9 pm for faculty (range 6–11 pm). Regarding rounding method, most respondents (100% of fellows and 77% of faculty) preferred a combination of traditional rounding at patient bedside and “table” rounds. Regarding teaching method, most faculty (64%) preferred bedside teaching, while most fellows (60%) preferred teaching presentations in the work room (P = 0.011, Fisher’s exact). Both fellows and faculty had many suggestions for optimizing rounding efficiency; the most common was to avoid having fellows see all patients twice daily (“double rounding,” suggested by 80% of fellows and 30% of faculty). Conclusion Overall, the reported behaviors of fellows regarding the structure of their days on inpatient ID services coincided with faculty expectations, although preferences differed between fellows and faculty regarding teaching methods. Avoiding “double rounding” was the most common suggestion to optimize efficiency. Larger studies are needed to better understand rounding behavior and strategies that will optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of inpatient ID consult teams.

Abstract Background Timely, efficient, and effective feedback strategies are crucial for enhancing faculty-trainee communication and trainee education. Here we describe attitudes, practices, and perceived behaviors regarding giving feedback to medical trainees rotating on Infectious Diseases (ID) inpatient consult services. Methods An anonymous survey on feedback strategies was distributed to our adult ID Section in February 2020 as part of a facilitated discussion on optimizing trainee clinical education. Results Twenty-six ID Section members completed the survey (18 faculty, 8 trainees). Most trainees (62.5%) and faculty (66.7%) felt that trainees are “sometimes” comfortable voicing concerns to faculty; however, no trainees but 11.1% of faculty indicated that trainees are “always” comfortable voicing concerns to faculty. Most trainees (87.5%) felt that conversations about team expectations occur “sometimes” or “often.” In contrast, most faculty (72.2%) felt that these conversations “always” occur. Although most faculty felt that both informal (94.4%) and formal (83.3%) feedback should be given to trainees, 22.2% of faculty responded that they do not explicitly use the term “feedback” when discussing feedback with a trainee. No trainees and 22.2% of faculty indicated that they utilize a feedback tool. Regarding quantity of feedback trainees perceive they receive from faculty, 37.5% of trainees felt they needed more feedback while 50% felt they received adequate feedback. Most faculty (88.9%) responded that they encourage trainees to give feedback to faculty, although most trainees (62.5%) responded “sometimes” regarding how comfortable they feel doing so. Conclusion In summary, we found differences between faculty and trainees regarding two important aspects of medical education: setting expectations and providing feedback. While most faculty feel that conversations regarding these topics occur invariably, trainees do not always share this perception. Trainees felt less comfortable voicing concerns and giving feedback to faculty than faculty perceived them to be. Overall, the data suggest that there is room for improvement to ensure that trainees and faculty are operating from a shared mental model regarding setting team expectations and providing/receiving feedback.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in China in December 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic hindered dental education, as school buildings were closed. Online dental teaching provided an alternative teaching tool for dental education. However, the efficiency of online dental teaching and student preferences for online dental teaching are unclear. Aim To investigate the satisfaction with online dental teaching practices among undergraduate dental students and standardized resident physician training students during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Methods A total of 104 undergraduate dental students and 57 standardized resident physician training students from Zhejiang University participated in the study. A 12-item survey was conducted. This investigation included the teaching methods received, frequency of classes, degree of satisfaction, preferred teaching method, whether to participate in a course regarding COVID-19 prevention, and the effects of teaching. The percentages were then calculated and evaluated for each item. Results A total of 161 students (104 undergraduate dental students and 57 standardized resident physician training students) participated in this survey. All students had online dental classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lecture-based learning (LBL), case-based learning (CBL), problem-based learning (PBL), team-based learning (TBL), and research-based learning (RBL) were selected as teaching methods. Students were more satisfied with LBL and CBL than PBL, RBL, and TBL. The majority of students had more than four classes per week. The most selected protective measures were hand washing, wearing masks, and wearing gloves. A total of 46.6% of students participated in courses on COVID-19. After training, the students consciously chose to wear face shields and protective clothing. Conclusions Dental students accepted online dental learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students preferred LBL and CBL and were satisfied with the classes. Courses on COVID-19 helped students understand how to prevent COVID-19 transmission in the dental clinic.

Purpose: The focus of this retrospective review paper is toexplore and analyse pedagogic research development in physiotherapy education in South Africa.Methods: A content analysis of publications by educators in the SA Journal of Physiotherapy between 1989 and 2003 was conducted to identify and classify the pedagogic articles. Further analysis of physiotherapy education articles was performed to determine the primary foci of the education research, using a three- dimensional pedagogic outcomes research framework.Data analysis: Descriptive statistics in terms of frequencies, means and percentages was used for the analysis. Results: The results revealed that most of the educators’ articles focused on clinical practice. Only 23% of the articles were about education and the majority of those were on clinical education (72%), with few articles on curriculum issues and teaching methods. Conclusion: The research focus of South African Physiotherapy educators is more on the clinical practice, and not on education. The importance of linking research, clinical practice and education cannot be overemphasized, hence the need to develop research in education.

English has been a subject in the university classroom since the 1980s. This subject helps produce more excellent talents in economics, politics, and culture who are proficient in English language in China, and enable our country to better integrate with the global economy. At the same time, the relationship between our country and the international community has become closer. However, the social environment is constantly developing and changing. The traditional teaching methods can be said to be ineffective and associated with many shortcomings. Traditional teaching methods were used in the English lessons. Under this teaching mode, students were the passive subjects on the receiving end of what have been taught. The teacher was always talking in the classroom and the students were listening. This teaching style also affects the effectiveness of learning. Compared with traditional teaching, interactive teaching method has its unique advantages. It is a new teaching mode and under this teaching mode, students can actively communicate with teachers in the classroom to complete learning tasks. The initiative to perform self-directed learning is also greatly improved, and the students’ English proficiency can be improved.
