Use of the Smartphone App WhatsApp as an E-Learning Method for Medical Residents: Multicenter Controlled Randomized Trial
The WhatsApp smartphone app is the most widely used instant messaging app in the world. Recent studies reported the use of WhatsApp for educational purposes, but there is no prospective study comparing WhatsApp's pedagogical effectiveness to that of any other teaching modality.
The main objective of this study was to measure the impact of a learning program via WhatsApp on clinical reasoning in medical residents.
This prospective, randomized, multicenter study was conducted among first- and second-year anesthesiology residents (offline recruitment) from four university hospitals in France. Residents were randomized in two groups of online teaching (WhatsApp and control). The WhatsApp group benefited from daily delivery of teaching documents on the WhatsApp app and a weekly clinical case supervised by a senior physician. In the control group, residents had access to the same documents via a traditional computer electronic learning (e-learning) platform. Medical reasoning was self-assessed online by a script concordance test (SCT; primary parameter), and medical knowledge was assessed using multiple-choice questions (MCQs). The residents also completed an online satisfaction questionnaire.
In this study, 62 residents were randomized (32 to the WhatsApp group and 30 to the control group) and 22 residents in each group answered the online final evaluation. We found a difference between the WhatsApp and control groups for SCTs (60% [SD 9%] vs 68% [SD 11%]; P=.006) but no difference for MCQs (18/30 [SD 4] vs 16/30 [SD 4]; P=.22). Concerning satisfaction, there was a better global satisfaction rate in the WhatsApp group than in the control group (8/10 [interquartile range 8-9] vs 8/10 [interquartile range 8-8]; P=.049).
Compared to traditional e-learning, the use of WhatsApp for teaching residents was associated with worse clinical reasoning despite better global appreciation. The use of WhatsApp probably contributes to the dispersion of attention linked to the use of the smartphone. The impact of smartphones on clinical reasoning should be studied further.

Patient Safety Outcomes under Flexible and Standard Resident Duty-Hour Rules
In this cluster-randomized trial involving 63 internal-medicine residency programs governed by either the 2011 ACGME duty-hour rules or more flexible duty-hour rules, flexible duty-hour policies did not increase 30-day mortality or adversely affect several other patient safety outcomes.

Education Outcomes in a Duty-Hour Flexibility Trial in Internal Medicine
Internal medicine residency programs were randomly assigned to standard duty-hour policies or to flexible policies without limits on shift length and time off. Interns in programs with flexible policies did not have a superior educational experience.

Development and Evaluation of a Direct Care Hospitalist Service Internal Medicine Sub-internship Rotation
Direct Care Hospitalist Services (DCHS) can increase internal medicine (IM) sub-internship rotation availability while providing hospitalists additional teaching opportunities.
Implement and evaluate a DCHS sub-internship.
Urban Academic Medical School.
IM sub-interns, hospitalists.
One to two sub-interns were paired with three hospitalists on 3 weeks of day service and five nights in an apprenticeship model. Sub-interns admitted and followed patients on days and cross-covered and admitted on nights.
DCHS sub-intern rotation satisfaction and skills preparedness were surveyed over 2 years. Sub-interns rotating on resident-covered service (RCS) were surveyed in year 2, and results compared to DCHS. Hospitalists were surveyed year 1 to rate satisfaction. Year 2 DCHS cross-cover paging data was tabulated to evaluate clinical content. DCHS and RCS sub-interns rated satisfaction and preparedness similarly. DCHS sub-interns rated time management (3.86 vs 4.33, p = 0.19) and calling consults (4.4 vs 4.8, p = 0.56) lower, but cross-cover higher (4.14 to 3.67, p = 0.34) than RCS. DCHS sub-interns averaged 39.4 (SD 4.1) nightly cross-cover pages with most related to acute symptoms (46%). Hospitalists were highly satisfied with their rotation experience.
Sub-interns were highly satisfied with DCHS sub-internship. Future work will target gaps in preparedness for urgent patient care issues.

Processus de jugement d'evaluation des competences professionnelles en contexte de stage en emploi: quand les stagiaires sont egalement des collegues
In the context of a shortage of qualified teaching staff (Dupriez et al., 2023), paid internships are gaining in popularity, but they are forcing the pre-service training and work environments to rethink their collaboration. With this in mind, we developed a paid internship program as part of a research project conducted in partnership with a school board. The aim of the study is to document the issues perceived by the trainers involved in the assessment of skills in the context of paid internships regarding their assessment judgement process. As paid internships opportunities are recent in elementary and secondary teacher training programs, our article will contribute to the development of knowledge about their impact, which is currently scarcely documented (CSE, 2023). Therefore, we conducted a content analysis (Krippendorff, 2013) based on transcribed semi-directed interviews in order to identify emerging and recurring themes regarding the perceptions of the trainers (n = 8) pertaining to issues perceived in their evaluation judgement process in this context. Our results highlight several issues arising from the status of colleague, involving a change in the relationships between individuals involved, on the characteristics of the process of assessing the professional skills of trainees. Our proposal points to a need to clarify the roles of trainers in the context of paid internships, particularly with regard to evaluation.
