Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
Intelligence01:27

Intelligence

The term "intelligence" is complex because it refers to both behavior and individuals, and its interpretation varies across cultures. European Americans tend to link intelligence with reasoning and cognitive skills, while in Kenya, it is tied to responsible participation in family and social life. In Uganda, intelligence is seen as the ability to know the right actions and carry them out effectively, while the Iatmul people of Papua New Guinea associate it with the capacity to remember detailed...
Scientific Nature of Social Psychology01:30

Scientific Nature of Social Psychology

Social psychology is a scientific discipline dedicated to understanding how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. Unlike common sense, which relies on anecdotal experiences and intuition, social psychology employs systematic research and empirical methods to ensure objectivity and reliability. This distinction is fundamental in distinguishing scientifically supported findings from mere speculation.Four fundamental scientific values guide a structured approach to research in...
Investigation of Disease Outbreaks01:23

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Research
  • Health Professions Education (HPE)
  • Talent Identification and Development

Background:

  • The concept of 'talent' is frequently used in health professions education (HPE) but lacks consistent definition and is often confused with performance indicators.
  • Existing literature shows variable interpretations of 'talent', necessitating a clearer understanding within medical education contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review mapping the definitions and usage of 'talent' and related terms within medical education.
  • To identify how these concepts are applied across different educational stages and specific use cases.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review utilizing Arksey-O'Malley, Levac, and PRISMA-ScR methodologies.
  • Searches across major databases (OVID-Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) for studies from 1946 to May 2024, including terms like 'talent', 'aptitude', and 'giftedness'.
  • Descriptive mapping and content analysis of 189 included studies, categorized into Tier 1 (direct mention of 'talent') and Tier 2 (related terms).

Main Results:

  • 189 studies were reviewed, with 47 (25%) directly mentioning 'talent' and 142 (75%) using related terms.
  • The majority of literature originated from North America (41%) and Europe (30%).
  • Most research (74%) focused on identifying high-potential individuals, particularly for medical school selection, with limited attention to retention, equity, or leadership.

Conclusions:

  • Despite the frequent use of 'talent', a significant lack of defined conceptual frameworks or theoretical underpinnings was observed in the medical education literature.
  • The review highlights a need for more rigorous definition and application of 'talent' concepts in HPE.
  • Interdisciplinary research is proposed as a potential avenue to enhance the conceptualization and study of talent in this field.
