From Aug. 9: For students starting medical school, the first year can involve a lot of time in a lecture hall. There are hundreds of terms to master and pages upon pages of notes to take.
But when the new class of medical students begins at the University of Vermont's Larner College of Medicine, a lot of that learning won't take place with a professor at a lectern. The school has begun to phase out lectures in favor of what's known as "active learning" and plans to be done with lectures altogether by 2019.

From Oct. 18: With hospitals competing for business and seeking ways to improve inpatient satisfaction, a method of doing so has emerged, which takes only a few minutes and involves no expensive equipment.

From May 24: Medical errors are a leading cause of death in the United States, with some research suggesting that errors can cause as many 250,000 fatalities each year. The medical community has made strides to normalize and encourage error disclosure for physicians and medical trainees in order to improve patient safety and healthcare outcomes, but these guidelines fall short when it comes to addressing the social psychology that influences how and when physicians and medical trainees disclose errors and how they manage the consequences of those errors.

From Aug. 30: Respect in healthcare is an ongoing conversation and struggle. Members of the healthcare team often feel undervalued or belittled in their position, which minimizes their role in patient-centered care.
Nurses frequently find themselves in the chasm of conflict, often feeling like they have no voice to help their patients or impact the care being provided. This often leaves them feeling disrespected. Although these interpersonal dynamics can seem benign, they routinely impact care negatively.

From March 29: In 1982, after instructor Gene Iannuzzi had delivered the requisite lecture on pre-arrival radio reports to incoming EMTs at New York City's EMS academy, he closed the classroom door, rolled up his sleeves, faced his students and asked them the easiest question they'd get that evening: "What do you think of nurses?"

From April 19: Imagine that you’re still a medical student and you just started your class on surgery. Instead of the usual practice of using cadavers for surgery practice, you have a live body lying in front of you. Not sure where to inject the anesthesia, you proceed anyway trying to remember what you studied, but you get it wrong. But instead of a medical catastrophe and a lawsuit being slapped on you, a big yellow warning triangle appears where you went wrong.
