Highlights ■ Performance was <70% in 10 of the 33 items. ■ Lowest performance domains were Oncologic Pain and Opioid Side Effects. ■ Residents in clinical specialties outperformed those in surgical or mixed specialties. ■ Residents with ≥3 years of training outperformed those on their first 2 years. ABSTRACT Objective: To translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the Palliative Care Knowledge Questionnaire for PEACE (PEACE-Q) in Brazilian Portuguese.

Highlights Only 20% of the medical residency programs have laparoscopic teaching. Preceptors of the residency programs have advanced experience. Most programs have no plan to set up a training center. Resideny programs are concentrated in the Southeast region and in capitals. ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize laparoscopy teaching in Medical Residency Programs in Gynecology and Obstetrics in Brazil, and to evaluate preceptors’ characteristics in laparoscopy programs and map laparoscopic training practice scenarios. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study evaluated questionnaire responses from […]

Highlights Improvement in the performance of simulated pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation was observed after postsimulation debriefing and rapid cycle deliberate practice sessions. Postsimulation debriefing and rapid cycle deliberate practice are suitable for cardiopulmonary resuscitation training among pediatric residents. Retention of knowledge and skills deteriorated 5 weeks after training. ABSTRACT Objective: Simulation plays an important role in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Comparing postsimulation debriefing with rapid cycle deliberate practice could help determine the best simulation strategy for pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation training among pediatric […]

Highlights • Neurology trainees and program directors recognized a lack of structured breaking bad news training. • Program directors reported that many factors hinder the implementation of breaking bad news education. • Trainees felt capable of breaking bad news, but most did not have lectures, simulations, nor feedback. • Trainees acknowledged negative feelings when breaking bad news, including sadness and helplessness. ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to evaluate how breaking bad news training was implemented in neurology residency programs in Brazil […]
