Summary
A new medical curriculum map, MEduCompass, was developed to improve navigation and coherence. This user-centered tool addresses fragmentation, enhancing the educational experience for faculty and students.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Curriculum Development
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Conventional medical curriculum maps are often fragmented and difficult to navigate due to incremental development.
- This fragmentation leads to irrelevance and incoherence for both faculty and students.
- Addressing these challenges is crucial for effective medical training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an in-house, user-friendly curriculum map (MEduCompass) to enhance medical curriculum navigation.
- To create a cohesive and structured platform addressing the limitations of traditional curriculum maps.
- To ensure the curriculum map meets the needs of both students and faculty through a participatory approach.
Main Methods:
- Developed MEduCompass, an in-house curriculum map with an easy-to-navigate interface.
- Employed a participatory design approach involving students and faculty.
- Utilized Design Thinking principles for structured design and incorporated a continuous feedback system for iterative updates.
Main Results:
- The MEduCompass platform was piloted with an undergraduate gastrointestinal systems module.
- Initial faculty feedback indicated the map provided a holistic curriculum view.
- The tool was found to bridge the gap between clinical and pre-clinical medical education.
Conclusions:
- The adaptable, feedback-driven MEduCompass effectively addresses stakeholder needs in medical education.
- The platform remains relevant to evolving educational demands and learning outcomes.
- MEduCompass demonstrates successful adaptation to technical and pedagogical requirements for curriculum mapping.

02:16Stereotype Content Model
13.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

An important concept in studying metabolism and energy is that of chemical equilibrium. Most chemical reactions are reversible. They can proceed in both directions, releasing energy into their environment in one direction, and absorbing it from the environment in the other direction. The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids, respectively. Reactants within a closed system...

01:20Introduction to Cognitive Psychology
238
Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

A toggle clamp is a mechanical device commonly used for holding and clamping objects in various applications, such as woodworking, metalworking, and assembly operations. Consider a toggle clamp subjected to a force of 200 N at the handle. The vertical clamping force can be calculated, provided the dimensions of the toggle clamp are known.
The toggle clamp system is a machine structure consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that form a stabilized system to transmit forces. The...
