Abstract:
The development of teaching ability is an essential part of the core medical training curriculum. Delivering teaching for foundation trainees is one way to achieve this while also enhancing the training of junior colleagues, yet there is no current evidence that this occurs. This study describes the extent to which core medical trainees in a UK training region are teaching juniors and identifies potential influencing factors. Questionnaires were completed by 61 core medical trainees and 20 of these participated in five focus groups. Participants had delivered a median number of two training sessions; however, 36% had not delivered any. Focus group data suggested a clear interest in involvement, but barriers such as lack of time and lack of encouragement inhibited this. Although there is a wealth of potential opportunities to teach juniors, this study suggests these are not being fully utilised by core medical trainees. Measures have been proposed to help overcome the identified barriers.

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
