Distributed medical education, and instruction at regional medical campuses, is becoming more prevalent. With its focus on connecting learners in multiple environments outside of traditional classroom or clinical environments, the role of technology is central to its success. In many distributed medical education settings, videoconferencing plays a central role. Over the course of a three-year ethnographic study, we learned that videoconference technologies are more than the background for learning, but rather play a central role. We describe herein a series of practical tips for those working in the context of a videoconferenced distributed medical education program. Rather than treating videoconferencing technologies as something we can ignore, predict, or control, we hope that the tips help educators at regional medical campuses to think critically about the realities of teaching and learning in a videoconferenced distributed context.

There is a paucity of publications about new regional medical campuses. The authors, members of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and its Group on Regional Medical Campuses (GRMC), offer a historical perspective about the role of Regional Medical Campuses (RMCs), and provide a roadmap to establishing a new RMC, including logistics, resources, curriculum, student services, faculty, affiliations and networking within the community. A checklist designed to support leadership decision-making is also included. The RMC is an efficient model for increasing opportunities for clinical training, accommodating expansion of graduate medical education, and offering a cost-effective solution to train future physicians.

Death following a chronic and complicated illness in hospital is common. This paper is an account of a physician who perceives such a death in a different and an introspective way hoping to make all stakeholders of health realise their responsibilities beyond the accepted norms. There is need for professionalism and patient centredness in healthcare delivery as is stressed in this narrative. Physicians have an added role of teaching medical students and resident doctors and are reminded that they unknowingly transmit their professional identity onto the learners by the manner in which they deal with patients.

UNSTRUCTURED This research study was designed to understand physician awareness and engagement with social media (sometimes referred to as #SoMe) within the digital landscape of healthcare delivery. An audience-response survey focused on social media “Social media in Healthcare: Physician Survey”, was administered during the “A Systematic Approach to Medically Unexplained Symptoms” continuing medical education conference. The Conference took place between August 22, 2019 and August 24, 2019. Data was collected on August 23, 2019. A range of 103 (59.5%) to 112 (64.7%) of the total 173 attendees participated in this cross-sectional audience-response survey, depending on the questions answered. Most responders were between the ages of 35 and 65 years (79.6%) and female (60.2%). A majority of responders were aware of social media terminology (88.7%), and many had used it personally (46.7%), but only 12% knew how to use social media to search medical topics, 18% used it to network professionally and most (68.9%) had a distrust of social media when it came to the protection of their privacy or their patients’ privacy. Overall, about 29.6% indicated an interest in future continued medical education focused on social media (and 27.4% were neutral). Awareness of social media’s role in healthcare has increased among physicians in practice, however their participation and knowledge of opportunities remains limited. Distance from academic institutions and concerns about privacy play the largest roles in the aversion towards professional use of social media.

SYNOPSIS Starting in 1995, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) transformed a bureaucratic healthcare system into a performance-driven, patient-focused integrated healthcare network. The VHA's experience may offer lessons for private and public sector providers as the U.S. explores alternative healthcare delivery systems and payment methods. Similar patient-focused integrated systems are one of the hallmarks of the latest U.S. attempt to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery. The use of performance incentives to promote cooperation and innovation is also central to both the VHA and the U.S. reform. This study reviews the VHA's experience with an eye to identifying issues and potential research avenues for accounting researchers interested in the role of accounting information for control, coordination, and organizational change.
