Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Strengthening Nurse Practitioners’ Competency in Occupational Health Service (SNPCOHS) program. It was hypothesized that nurse practitioners (NPs) participating in the program would demonstrate increased competency in providing occupational health services to agricultural workers exposed to pesticides in primary care units (PCUs) compared to their baseline competency and to a comparison group.
Methods
A quasi-experimental study was conducted between August and December 2023. The 4-week intervention included 5 hours of an e-learning program, 3 hours of online discussion, and 2 hours dedicated to completing an assignment. The program was evaluated at 3 time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention (week 4), and follow-up (week 8). Sixty NPs volunteered to participate, with 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the comparison group. Data on demographics, professional attributes, knowledge, skills, and perceived self-efficacy were collected using self-administered questionnaires via Google Forms. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results
The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher mean scores in professional attributes, knowledge, skills, and perceived self-efficacy in providing occupational health services to agricultural workers exposed to pesticides compared to the comparison group at both week 4 and week 8 post-intervention.
Conclusion
The SNPCOHS program is well-suited for self-directed learning for nurses in PCUs, supporting effective occupational health service delivery. It should be disseminated and supported as an e-learning resource for NPs in PCUs (Thai Clinical Trials Registry: TCTR20250115004).

Purpose
The revised Clinical Skills Test (CST) of the Korean Medical Licensing Exam aims to provide a better assessment of physicians’ clinical competence and ability to interact with patients. This study examined the impact of the revised CST on medical education curricula and resources nationwide, while also identifying areas for improvement within the revised CST.
Methods
This study surveyed faculty responsible for clinical clerkships at 40 medical schools throughout Korea to evaluate the status and changes in clinical skills education, assessment, and resources related to the CST. The researchers distributed the survey via email through regional consortia between December 7, 2023 and January 19, 2024.
Results
Nearly all schools implemented preliminary student–patient encounters during core clinical rotations. Schools primarily conducted clinical skills assessments in the third and fourth years, with a simplified form introduced in the first and second years. Remedial education was conducted through various methods, including one-on-one feedback from faculty after the assessment. All schools established clinical skills centers and made ongoing improvements. Faculty members did not perceive the CST revisions as significantly altering clinical clerkship or skills assessments. They suggested several improvements, including assessing patient records to improve accuracy and increasing the objectivity of standardized patient assessments to ensure fairness.
Conclusion
During the CST, students’ involvement in patient encounters and clinical skills education increased, improving the assessment and feedback processes for clinical skills within the curriculum. To enhance students’ clinical competencies and readiness, strengthening the validity and reliability of the CST is essential.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary Material
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have become central in many research fields, particularly medicine. They offer the highest level of evidence in evidence-based medicine and support the development and revision of clinical practice guidelines, which offer recommendations for clinicians caring for patients with specific diseases and conditions. This review summarizes the concepts of systematic reviews and meta-analyses and provides guidance on reviewing and assessing such papers. A systematic review refers to a review of a research question that uses explicit and systematic methods to identify, select, and critically appraise relevant research. In contrast, a meta-analysis is a quantitative statistical analysis that combines individual results on the same research question to estimate the common or mean effect. Conducting a meta-analysis involves defining a research topic, selecting a study design, searching literature in electronic databases, selecting relevant studies, and conducting the analysis. One can assess the findings of a meta-analysis by interpreting a forest plot and a funnel plot and by examining heterogeneity. When reviewing systematic reviews and meta-analyses, several essential points must be considered, including the originality and significance of the work, the comprehensiveness of the database search, the selection of studies based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, subgroup analyses by various factors, and the interpretation of the results based on the levels of evidence. This review will provide readers with helpful guidance to help them read, understand, and evaluate these articles.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary Material
Purpose
This study aims to validate the use of ProAnalyst (Xcitex Inc.), a software for professional motion analysts to assess the performance of surgical interns while performing the peg transfer task in a simulator box for safe practice in real minimally invasive surgery.
Methods
A correlation study was conducted in a multidisciplinary skills simulation lab at the Faculty of Medicine, Jordan University of Science and Technology from October 2019 to February 2020. Forty-one interns (i.e., novices and intermediates) were recruited and an expert surgeon participated as a reference benchmark. Videos of participants’ performance were analyzed through the ProAnalyst and Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills (GOALS). Two results were s analyzed for correlation.
Results
The motion analysis scores by Proanalyst were correlated with those by GOALS for novices (r=–0.62925, P=0.009), and Intermediates (r= –0.53422, P=0.033). Both assessment methods differentiated the participants’ performance based on their experience level.
Conclusion
The motion analysis scoring method with Proanalyst provides an objective, time-efficient, and reproducible assessment of interns’ performance, and comparable to GOALS. It may require initial training and set-up; however, it eliminates the need for expert surgeon judgment.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary Material
Purpose
The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is an effective but resource-intensive tool for assessing clinical competence. This study hypothesized that implementing a virtual OSCE in the Second Life (SL) platform in the metaverse as a cost-effective alternative will effectively assess and enhance clinical skills in emergency radiology while being feasible and well-received. The aim was to evaluate a virtual radiology OSCE in SL as a formative assessment, focusing on feasibility, educational impact, and students’ perceptions.
Methods
Two virtual 6-station OSCE rooms dedicated to emergency radiology were developed in SL. Sixth-year medical students completed the OSCE during a 1-hour session in 2022–2023, followed by feedback including a correction checklist, individual scores, and group comparisons. Students completed a questionnaire with Likert-scale questions, a 10-point rating, and open-ended comments. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Student t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test, and qualitative data through thematic analysis.
Results
In total, 163 students participated, achieving mean scores of 5.1±1.4 and 4.9±1.3 (out of 10) in the 2 virtual OSCE rooms, respectively (P=0.287). One hundred seventeen students evaluated the OSCE, praising the teaching staff (9.3±1.0), project organization (8.8±1.2), OSCE environment (8.7±1.5), training usefulness (8.6±1.5), and formative self-assessment (8.5±1.4). Likert-scale questions and students’ open-ended comments highlighted the virtual environment’s attractiveness, case selection, self-evaluation usefulness, project excellence, and training impact. Technical difficulties were reported by 13 students (8%).
Conclusion
This study demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating formative OSCEs in SL as a useful teaching tool for undergraduate radiology education, which was cost-effective and highly valued by students.

This study aims to explore ChatGPT’s (GPT-3.5 version) functionalities, including reinforcement learning, diverse applications, and limitations. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot powered by OpenAI’s Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) model. The chatbot’s applications span education, programming, content generation, and more, demonstrating its versatility. ChatGPT can improve education by creating assignments and offering personalized feedback, as shown by its notable performance in medical exams and the United States Medical Licensing Exam. However, concerns include plagiarism, reliability, and educational disparities. It aids in various research tasks, from design to writing, and has shown proficiency in summarizing and suggesting titles. Its use in scientific writing and language translation is promising, but professional oversight is needed for accuracy and originality. It assists in programming tasks like writing code, debugging, and guiding installation and updates. It offers diverse applications, from cheering up individuals to generating creative content like essays, news articles, and business plans. Unlike search engines, ChatGPT provides interactive, generative responses and understands context, making it more akin to human conversation, in contrast to conventional search engines’ keyword-based, non-interactive nature. ChatGPT has limitations, such as potential bias, dependence on outdated data, and revenue generation challenges. Nonetheless, ChatGPT is considered to be a transformative AI tool poised to redefine the future of generative technology. In conclusion, advancements in AI, such as ChatGPT, are altering how knowledge is acquired and applied, marking a shift from search engines to creativity engines. This transformation highlights the increasing importance of AI literacy and the ability to effectively utilize AI in various domains of life.

All models exceeded passing scores, with GPT-4 achieving the highest accuracy (88.9%; 95% confidence interval, 88.7–89.1), surpassing Thailand’s national average by more than 2 standard deviations. Claude 3.5 Sonnet (80.1%) and Gemini 1.5 Pro (72.8%) followed hierarchically. Models demonstrated robustness across 17 of 20 medical domains, but variability was noted in genetics (74.0%) and cardiovascular topics (58.3%). While models demonstrated proficiency with images (Gemini 1.0 Pro: +9.9% vs. text), text-only accuracy remained superior (GPT-4o: 90.0% vs. 82.6%).
Conclusion
General-purpose LLMs show promise as equitable preparatory tools for ThaiNLE Step 1. However, domain-specific knowledge gaps and inconsistent multi-modal integration warrant refinement before clinical deployment.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary Material
The peer review process ensures the integrity of scientific research. This is particularly important in the medical field, where research findings directly impact patient care. However, the rapid growth of publications has strained reviewers, causing delays and potential declines in quality. Generative artificial intelligence, especially large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, may assist researchers with efficient, high-quality reviews. This review explores the integration of LLMs into peer review, highlighting their strengths in linguistic tasks and challenges in assessing scientific validity, particularly in clinical medicine. Key points for integration include initial screening, reviewer matching, feedback support, and language review. However, implementing LLMs for these purposes will necessitate addressing biases, privacy concerns, and data confidentiality. We recommend using LLMs as complementary tools under clear guidelines to support, not replace, human expertise in maintaining rigorous peer review standards.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary Material
Purpose
Although it is widely utilized in clinical subjects for skill training, using simulation-based education (SBE) for teaching basic science concepts to phase I medical students or pre-clinical students is limited. Simulation-based education/teaching is preferred in cardiovascular and respiratory physiology when compared to other systems because it is easy to recreate both the normal physiological component and alterations in the simulated environment, thus a promoting deep understanding of the core concepts.
Methods
A block randomized study was conducted among 107 phase 1 (first-year) medical undergraduate students at a Deemed to be University in India. Group A received SBE and Group B traditional small group teaching. The effectiveness of the teaching intervention was assessed using pre- and post-tests. Student feedback was obtained through a self administered structured questionnaire via an anonymous online survey and by in-depth interview.
Results
The intervention group showed a statistically significant improvement in post-test scores compared to the control group. A sub-analysis revealed that high scorers performed better than low scorers in both groups, but the knowledge gain among low scorers was more significant in the intervention group.
Conclusion
This teaching strategy offers a valuable supplement to traditional methods, fostering a deeper comprehension of clinical concepts from the outset of medical training.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary Material
Purpose
This study aimed to explore pharmacy students’ perceptions of remote flipped classrooms in Malaysia, focusing on their learning experiences and identifying areas for potential improvement to inform future educational strategies.
Methods
A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing inductive thematic analysis. Twenty Bachelor of Pharmacy students (18 women, 2 men; age range, 19–24 years) from Monash University participated in 8 focus group discussions over 2 rounds during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Participants were recruited via convenience sampling. The focus group discussions, led by experienced academics, were conducted in English via Zoom, recorded, and transcribed for analysis using NVivo. Themes were identified through emergent coding and iterative discussions to ensure thematic saturation.
Results
Five major themes emerged: flexibility, communication, technological challenges, skill-based learning challenges, and time-based effects. Students appreciated the flexibility of accessing and reviewing pre-class materials at their convenience. Increased engagement through anonymous question submission was noted, yet communication difficulties and lack of non-verbal cues in remote workshops were significant drawbacks. Technological issues, such as internet connectivity problems, hindered learning, especially during assessments. Skill-based learning faced challenges in remote settings, including lab activities and clinical examinations. Additionally, prolonged remote learning led to feelings of isolation, fatigue, and a desire to return to in-person interactions.
Conclusion
Remote flipped classrooms offer flexibility and engagement benefits but present notable challenges related to communication, technology, and skill-based learning. To improve remote education, institutions should integrate robust technological support, enhance communication strategies, and incorporate virtual simulations for practical skills. Balancing asynchronous and synchronous methods while addressing academic success and socioemotional wellness is essential for effective remote learning environments.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary Material
Purpose
This study evaluated the Dr LEE Jong-wook Fellowship Program’s impact on Tanzania’s health workforce, focusing on relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability in addressing healthcare gaps.
Methods
A mixed-methods research design was employed. Data were collected from 97 out of 140 alumni through an online survey, 35 in-depth interviews, and one focus group discussion. The study was conducted from November to December 2023 and included alumni from 2009 to 2022. Measurement instruments included structured questionnaires for quantitative data and semi-structured guides for qualitative data. Quantitative analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics (Spearman’s rank correlation, non-parametric tests) using Python ver. 3.11.0 and Stata ver. 14.0. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze qualitative data using NVivo ver. 12.0.
Results
Findings indicated high relevance (mean=91.6, standard deviation [SD]=8.6), effectiveness (mean=86.1, SD=11.2), efficiency (mean=82.7, SD=10.2), and impact (mean=87.7, SD=9.9), with improved skills, confidence, and institutional service quality. However, sustainability had a lower score (mean=58.0, SD=11.1), reflecting challenges in follow-up support and resource allocation. Effectiveness strongly correlated with impact (ρ=0.746, P<0.001). The qualitative findings revealed that participants valued tailored training but highlighted barriers, such as language challenges and insufficient practical components. Alumni-led initiatives contributed to knowledge sharing, but limited resources constrained sustainability.
Conclusion
The Fellowship Program enhanced Tanzania’s health workforce capacity, but it requires localized curricula and strengthened alumni networks for sustainability. These findings provide actionable insights for improving similar programs globally, confirming the hypothesis that tailored training positively influences workforce and institutional outcomes.
