Advancing health equity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people through sexual health education and LGBT-affirming health care environments
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people face pervasive health disparities and barriers to high-quality care. Adequate LGBT sexual health education for emerging health professionals is currently lacking. Clinical training programs and healthcare organisations are well poised to start addressing these disparities and affirming LGBT patients through curricula designed to cultivate core competencies in LBGT health as well as health care environments that welcome, include and protect LGBT patients, students and staff. Health education programs can emphasise mastery of basic LGBT concepts and terminology, as well as openness towards and acceptance of LGBT people. Core concepts, language and positive attitudes can be instilled alongside clinical skill in delivering inclusive sexual health care, through novel educational strategies and paradigms for clinical implementation. Caring for the health needs of LGBT patients also involves the creation of health care settings that affirm LGBT communities in a manner that is responsive to culturally specific needs, sensitivities and challenges that vary across the globe.

Trends in osteopathic medical education: a scoping review
Following the transition to a single graduate medical education (GME) accreditation system in 2020, leaders at American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) were interested in learning more about the research being done about osteopathic medical education leading up to that point in time.
The objective of this scoping review was to identify trends in undergraduate and graduate osteopathic medical education and to determine where this information was being disseminated and the institutions who were creating the content.
Searches were conducted in eight databases: PubMed (National Center for Biotechnology Information [NCBI]), MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Elsevier), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature ([CINAHL], EBSCO), Education Research Complete (EBSCO) OSTMED.DR, Education Resources Information Center ([ERIC], Ovid), and Scopus (Elsevier). Gray literature sources were also identified. All 10 authors were involved in the search. Search terms were identified by utilizing Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), the Yale MeSH Analyzer, and through consultation with an expert searcher. Sources were excluded if they were not in English, were based outside of the United States, did not fit in the date range of being published between 2010 and 2020, and included information on COVID-19. The research team conducted title/abstract screening based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
A total of 8,083 articles were identified and included through searches, ending in a total of 1,203 articles after full-text screening. Most sources for this osteopathic medical education review were journal articles (n=505) and conference proceedings (n=482). A total of 23 trends were identified, with the top three being residency (n=318), curriculum (n=235), and pedagogy (n=178). None of the other 23 primary trends were above 6.9 %.
Osteopathic medical education trends from 2010 to 2020 were primarily focused on residency, curriculum, and pedagogy. This information was disseminated evenly between published journal articles and conference presentations, and osteopathic institutions that have existed longer and have established research track records were more likely to publish and share information in this area.

Online continuing education for midwives in China: current trends, barriers, and future directions
Aim
This study investigated the state of online continuing education for midwives in China via a web-based questionnaire, identified current trends, explored potential barriers, predicted future research directions, and provided insights into improving the effectiveness and quality.
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the shift from in-person to long-distance online education, significantly modifying continuing education for midwives. Online continuing education is crucial in improving midwifery skills and has been widely adopted in China.
Design
A cross-sectional design was used.
Methods
This study used a cross-sectional design with convenience sampling. Data were collected from midwives working in Level I to Level III hospitals across 31 provinces of mainland China through an online questionnaire platform called WenjuanXing from October 2021 to April 2022.
Results
A total of 12,122 midwives participated, of which 10,102 (83.34%) had previously attended online courses, primarily using DingTalk (52.79%), Tencent Meeting (48.75%), and WeChat (44.4%) for online learning. More than half of the participants had experienced blended learning (59.74%) rather than only online learning (31.54%). Most participants (10,541, 84.38%) had limited knowledge of online continuing education. Flexible scheduling (94.76%) was the top reason for participation, whereas clinical work pressure (85.9%) was the main barrier. 10,315 (85.09%) participants preferred more interactive online learning methods. Ordered logistic regression analysis revealed that geographic location, demographic factors, employment characteristics, and hospital attributes significantly influenced healthcare professionals' willingness to use online resources. Midwives in Central regions, unmarried, elderly, highly educated, non-formally employed, working in obstetrics wards, and lower-tier hospitals showed a higher inclination for online continuing education.
Conclusion
With rapid technological advancements, online continuing education offers a valuable way for clinical midwives to obtain up-to-date information and knowledge. However, it remains in the early stages and requires further development.

Two-Generation Programs in the Twenty-First Century
Most of the authors in this issue of Future of Children focus on a single strategy for helping both adults and children that could become a component of two-generation programs. Lindsay Chase-Lansdale and Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, on the other hand, look at actual programs with an explicit two-generation focus that have been tried in the past or are currently under way. These explicitly two-generation programs have sought to build human capital across generations by combining education or job training for adults with early childhood education for their children. Chase-Lansdale and Brooks-Gunn explain the theories behind these programs and review the evidence for their efficacy. A first wave of such programs in the 1980s and 1990s produced mostly disappointing results, but the evaluations they left behind pointed to promising new directions. More recently, a second wave of two-generation programs—the authors dub them \"Two-Generation 2.0\"—has sought to rectify the flaws of earlier efforts, largely by building strong connections between components for children and adults, by ensuring that children and adults receive services of equal duration and intensity, and by incorporating advances in both education and workforce development. These Two-Generation 2.0 programs are still in their infancy, and we have yet to see clear evidence that they can achieve their goals or be implemented cost-effectively at scale. Nonetheless, Chase-Lansdale and Brooks-Gunn write, the theoretical justification for these programs is strong, their early results are promising, and the time is ripe for innovation, experimentation, and further study.

Milestones and Millennials: A Perfect Pairing—Competency-Based Medical Education and the Learning Preferences of Generation Y
Millennials are quickly becoming the most prevalent generation of medical learners. These individuals have a unique outlook on education and have different preferences and expectations than their predecessors. As evidenced by its implementation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in the United States and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada, competency based medical education is rapidly gaining international acceptance. Characteristics of competency based medical education can be perfectly paired with Millennial educational needs in several dimensions including educational expectations, the educational process, attention to emotional quotient and professionalism, assessment, feedback, and intended outcomes. We propose that with its attention to transparency, personalized learning, and frequent formative assessment, competency based medical education is an ideal fit for the Millennial generation as it realigns education and assessment with the needs of these 21st century learners.

Global Health Education Amidst COVID-19: Disruptions and Opportunities
This viewpoint examines the impact of COVID-19 travel bans and remote education on the global health education of students from high-income countries (HIC) and low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and explores potential opportunities for strengthening global health education based upon more dispersed and equitable practices. Global health is unique in the opportunities it can offer to students during the pandemic if programs can manage and learn from the pandemic's many challenges. Global health educators can: shift to sustainable remote engagement and mobilize resources globally to facilitate this; collaborate with partners to support the efforts to deal with the current pandemic and to prepare for its next phases; partner in new ways with health care professional students and faculty from other countries; collaborate in research with partners in studies of pandemic related health disparities in any country; and document and examine the impact of the pandemic on health care workers and students in different global contexts. These strategies can help work around pandemic travel restrictions, overcome the limitations of existing inequitable models of engagement, and better position global health education and face future challenges while providing the needed support to LMIC partners to participate more equally.

Looking Back on Digital Medical Education Over the Last 25 Years and Looking to the Future: Narrative Review
The last 25 years have seen enormous progression in digital technologies across the whole of the health service, including health education. The rapid evolution and use of web-based and digital techniques have been significantly transforming this field since the beginning of the new millennium. These advancements continue to progress swiftly, even more so after the COVID-19 pandemic.
This narrative review aims to outline and discuss the developments that have taken place in digital medical education across the defined time frame. In addition, evidence for potential opportunities and challenges facing digital medical education in the near future was collated for analysis.
Literature reviews were conducted using PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Embase. The participants and learners in this study included medical students, physicians in training or continuing professional development, nurses, paramedics, and patients.
Evidence of the significant steps in the development of digital medical education in the past 25 years was presented and analyzed in terms of application, impact, and implications for the future. The results were grouped into the following themes for discussion: learning management systems; telemedicine (in digital medical education); mobile health; big data analytics; the metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality; the COVID-19 pandemic; artificial intelligence; and ethics and cybersecurity.
Major changes and developments in digital medical education have occurred from around the start of the new millennium. Key steps in this journey include technical developments in teleconferencing and learning management systems, along with a marked increase in mobile device use for accessing learning over this time. While the pace of evolution in digital medical education accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, further rapid progress has continued since the resolution of the pandemic. Many of these changes are currently being widely used in health education and other fields, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, providing significant future potential. The opportunities these technologies offer must be balanced against the associated challenges in areas such as cybersecurity, the integrity of web-based assessments, ethics, and issues of digital privacy to ensure that digital medical education continues to thrive in the future.
