Exploring The Role Of Patient Feedback In Medical Education, Hovhannes John Hayrapetyan, Stella Hayrapetyan, Diane L. Levine Md

Medical Student Research Symposium

Background: Patient feedback is increasingly recognized as a valuable yet underutilized component of medical student assessment. When collected reliably, delivered with specificity, and embedded in a supportive learning environment, feedback can improve communication, professionalism, and patient-centered behaviors while promoting reflective, self-directed learning. However, studies highlight limitations including inadequate longitudinal evidence for sustained improvement, inconsistent use of structured tools, and insufficient faculty guidance. Instruments such as the Patient Feedback in Clinical Practice (PFCP) questionnaire show promise but require broader testing, and links between learner feedback and patient outcomes remain weak.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, …

Data Science In Medicine: Bridging The Statistics & Research Skills Education Gap Through Multi-Platform Bootcamps, Marta Haireek, Muhammad Idrees, Yiannos Demetriou, Laura Benjamins, Alan Dombkowski

Medical Student Research Symposium

Background

Presently, there is great emphasis on medical students' research output and demand for healthcare practitioners with skills in data appraisal, research methodologies, and evidence interpretation; however, medical students do not receive formal training in research and data science. This presents a major gap in medical education as curriculums focus on USMLE preparation without exposure to statistical software or analytical thinking required for productive research outcomes or evidence appraisal. Accordingly, the “Data Science Research Bootcamp” addressed this gap through workshops focused on Python, R, and SPSS.

Methods

WSUSOM students attended Python (n=22), R (n=9), and SPSS (upcoming) workshops to learn …

Background: Visual field (VF) testing is essential for detecting glaucoma, but reliability is limited by patient inexperience and poor fixation. Prior studies report VF test reliability around 59%, primarily attributed to increased fixation loss (FL). Other studies note 75.9% reliability using training videos …

When Systems Fail: The Impact Of Protocol On Physician Moral Distress, Aya Dudar

Clinical Research in Practice: The Journal of Team Hippocrates

Physicians often face the decision between following rigid hospital protocol and doing the right thing for the patient, creating moral distress and contributing to burnout. This letter describes a case in which an elderly patient with COVID-19 pneumonia and a DNI order developed worsening hypercapnia and required noninvasive ventilation. Despite clinical appropriateness, hospital policy prohibited BiPAP use in obtunded patients due to aspiration risk - even when the resident offered continuous bedside monitoring. This case highlights the ethical tension that arises when rigid hospital policies prevent physicians from making real-time exceptions in appropriate situations. Empowering physicians to make context-driven decisions …

Linking Lassi Scores To Step 1 Outcomes: A Focus On At-Risk Students, Abigail M. Schuch, Raghav Rajesh, Marissa Zhu Phd

Medical Student Research Symposium

PURPOSE

This study examined differences in Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) scores between at-risk and non-at-risk medical students and their relationship with USMLE Step 1 outcomes, offering insights into cognitive and emotional factors affecting Step 1 performance.

AUTHORS

Abigail Schuch, Raghav Rajesh, Dr. Marissa Zhu PhD

METHODS

A total of 298 medical students completed the 60-item LASSI questionnaire. Based on academic performance indicators, students were categorized as at-risk (N = 39) or non-at-risk (N = 259). Welch’s t-tests compared LASSI subscales between groups and individual items, while logistic regression, adjusted for MCAT scores, GPA, and End-of-Segment scores, assessed the …
