We created a clinical ultrasound (CUS) elective in clerkship, which gave medical students the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and technical skills while refining their CUS-related clinical decision making. This elective uniquely allowed medical students to integrate their CUS knowledge and skills into real patient care within the clinical environment (discipline) of their choice. As such, beyond supporting increasing technical competence, students learned to advocate for appropriate use of CUS, an important skill for trainees to develop.

Background: Clinical decision making is predominantly knowledge-based perception, interpretation under terms of uncertainty. It is unclear whether interpretational ability can be improved. We evaluated the effect of a narrated group-discussions course (NGDC) on the interpretational ability of first-year medical students. Objective: To evaluate the effect of our course on first year medical students in respect to: a) their interpretational abilities b) their attitude towards studying literature and the core subjects. Method: Using a pre-post questionnaire, of a semester-long course, among two consecutive classes, the authors evaluated the participant’s interpretational ability and depth of understanding when analyzing four complex passages. Results: Out of 235 students, 146 (62%) responded to both questionnaires. There was a significant increase in the participant’s interpretational ability (P=0.003). ninety one participants (38%) improved their level of understanding in at least one out of the four passages, and 37 participants (25%) improved in two passages. A multivariate analysis revealed that the improvement in the interpretational ability was associated with younger age (P=0.034, CI 95%=0.64-0.98, OR=0.79), positive pre-course attitude and motivation (P<0.001, CI 95%=1.43-3.05, OR=2.09), and lack of a prior literature background (P=0.064, CI 95%=0.17-1.05, OR=0.43). Conclusion: Our data suggests that NGDC may improve and refine interpretational ability. Further studies are required to establish the short- and long-term impact of this change and whether it can be translated into better clinical decision making.

BestBETs for Vets are generated by the Centre for Evidence-based Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nottingham to help answer specific questions and assist in clinical decision making. Although evidence is often limited, they aim to find, present and draw conclusions from the best available evidence, using a standardised framework. A more detailed description of how BestBETs for Vets are produced was published in VR, April 4, 2015, vol 176, pp 354-356.

Nursing education is a training that requires many cognitive and psychomotor skills to be given to the students. Especially, it is expected that students should do every application skillfully before going out to hospital practice.This study was carried out in order to determine the effect of simulation usage on nursing skill development.These work is a review.There are many advantages to using the simulation in nursing education. These; critical thinking, clinical decision-making and problem-solving skills, a specific situation,skill in simulated education and a case example case can be revitalized versatile. Thus, it is possible to provide students with active learning opportunities to create coherent and comparable experiences; Help students integrate knowledge and skills. Through simulation laboratories, students develop their practice and as a result, mistakes they may make can be reduced.  Keywords: Simulation; nursing education; skill development in nursing.
