“…Therefore, it is important to determine the modalities that are most important and effective in teaching MSUS so resources can be properly allocated. Many studies performed across multiple specialties have validated various methods of MSUS education and assessment [2,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]27,29]. Ahn et al [16] discovered that peer instruction of MSUS was as successful as faculty instruction.…”

“…The curriculum included online courses, reading assignments, hands-on workshops, and clinical experience and was validated as a successful, comprehensive MSUS curriculum [14]. In addition, many studies across multiple specialties have validated various methods of MSUS education and assessment, including peer instruction, self-directed learning, Web-based programs, cadaver laboratories, simulation centers, clinical rotations, objective structured clinical examination, written examinations, and practical examinations [2,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Ultimately, many methods exist for both education and assessment, but it is important to note that a blended approach using multiple tools appears to be the most common practice [25].…”

Objectives: The objective was to critically appraise and highlight medical education research published in 2012 that was methodologically superior and whose outcomes were pertinent to teaching and education in emergency medicine (EM).Methods: A search of the English language literature in 2012 querying Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), PsychInfo, PubMed, and Scopus identified EM studies using hypothesis-testing or observational investigations of educational interventions. Two reviewers independently screened all of the publications and removed articles using established exclusion criteria. This year, publications limited to a single-site survey design that measured satisfaction or self-assessment on unvalidated instruments were not formally reviewed. Six reviewers then independently ranked all remaining publications using one of two scoring systems depending on whether the study methodology was primarily qualitative or quantitative. Each scoring system had nine criteria, including four related to methodology, that were chosen a priori, to standardize evaluation by reviewers. The quantitative study scoring system was used previously to appraise medical education published annually in 2008 through 2011, while a separate, new qualitative study scoring system was derived and implemented consisting of parallel metrics.Results: Forty-eight medical education research papers met the a priori criteria for inclusion, and 33 (30 quantitative and three qualitative studies) were reviewed. Seven quantitative and two qualitative studies met the criteria for inclusion as exemplary and are summarized in this article. In this fifth installment of the annual critical appraisal series, the same six reviewers used previously published criteria to critically analyze and rank the EM education research from 2012. The focus of this article is to review and highlight the methodologically superior studies that are pertinent to teaching and education in EM. Trends in EM education research over the past 5 years are summarized. We hope that this paper will serve as a valuable resource for EM educators and researchers invested in the scholarship of teaching. 2 METHODS Article IdentificationA medical librarian (LM) performed the literature search in the medical and social sciences literature domains and supplied medical subject heading (MeSH) and keyword terms. MEDLINE was searched through PubMed using a Boolean search strategy that incorporated the following MeSH terms: emergency medicine and medical education, medical student, internship and residency, teaching rounds, undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education, and continuing medical education. Keyword variants for the MeSH terms were included in the search for comprehensiveness. Boolean searches of other databases, including Scopus ("medical education" and emergency), Education Resources Information Center (ERIC; emergency medicine), and PsychInfo (emergency medicine and education) were performed using keyword searching and where possible using the da...

Cadaveric simulations are an effective way to add clinical context to an anatomy course. In this study, unembalmed (fresh) cadavers were uniquely prepared to simulate pleural effusion to teach chest percussion and review thoracic anatomy. Thirty first-year medical students were assigned to either an intervention (Group A) or control group (Group B). Group A received hands-on training with the cadaveric simulations. They were instructed on how to palpate bony landmarks for identifying the diaphragm and lobes of the lungs, as well as on how to properly perform chest percussion to detect abnormal fluid in the pleural space. Students in Group B practiced on each other. Students in Group A benefited from the training in several ways. They had more confidence in their percussive technique (A = mean 4.3/5.0, B = 2.9/5.0), ability to count the ribs on an intact body (A = mean 4.0/5.0, B = 3.0/5.0), and ability to identify the lobes of the lungs on an intact body (A = mean 3.8/5.0, B = 2.3/5.0). They also demonstrated a greater ability to locate the diaphragm on an intact body (A = 100%, B = 60%) and detect abnormal pleural fluid (A = 93%, B = 53%) with greater confidence (A = mean 3.7/5.0, B = 2.5/5.0). Finally, the hands-on training with the unembalmed cadavers created more excitement around learning in Group A compared with Group B. This study shows that simulating pleural effusion in an unembalmed cadaver is a useful way to enhance anatomy education. Anat Sci Educ 10: 160-169. © 2016 American Association of Anatomists.
