Medical education and medical education research are growing industries that have become increasingly globalised. Recognition of the colonial foundations of medical education has led to a growing focus on issues of equity, absence and marginalisation. One area of absence that has been underexplored is that of published voices from low-income and middle-income countries. We undertook a bibliometric analysis of f...

In this sense, assessment rubrics can be associated with professional practices for more authentic assessment processes. In the context of Project Management, the International Project Management Association (IPMA) has developed a framework that est...
Team-based learning (TBL) is an active learning pedagogy developed for in-class sessions and based on the collaborative work of small groups of students. The increasing push to online and blended learning has enhanced the need to expand this pedagogy to a virtual environment, but little evidence has been produced on how students accept online synchronous sessions of TBL. The purpose of this study, that relies o...

[Excerto] A Reforma de Bolonha em Portugal originou um movimento de valorização da docência nas instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), visível em reformas curriculares e em políticas de garantia e avaliação da qualidade do ensino, mas também na progressiva criação de estruturas de apoio à docência (Centros, Núcleos, Gabinetes, Unidades...), localizadas em unidades orgânicas ou centralizadas e apoiadas pelas Rei...
Dropping out from undergraduate medical education is costly for students, medical schools, and society in general. Therefore, the early identification of potential dropout students is important. The contribution of personal features to dropout rates has merited exploration. However, there is a paucity of research on aspects of student experience that may lead to dropping out. In this study, underpinned by theor...
This study investigated the associations between self-assessed empathy levels by physicians in training and empathy levels as perceived by their patients after clinical encounters. The authors also examined whether patient assessments were valid and reliable tools to measure empathy in physicians in training. Objectives This study investigated the associations between self-assessed empathy levels by physicians ...
