Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medicine is a discipline in constant evolution, thanks, above all, to the most recent advances in the field of medical-surgical technology and to the growing attention to the quality of the doctor–patient relationship. Consequently, the educational and training processes of doctors and health professionals also require constant updating in order to adequately respond to the changes in the environment in which these professionals operate. Medical education and training vary considerably across the world. Various teaching methodologies have been utilized in medical education, which is an active area of educational research. Medical and health professions education is not always consistent with improvements in medical technology, complexities of multiprofessional healthcare delivery, and the expectations of the patients and of medical professionals themselves in terms of a better work–life balance. Considering these elements, this Special Issue aims to publish updated and groundbreaking original research, as well as comprehensive reviews about state-of-the-art and advances in the field of medical and health profession education. Space will also be given to contributions focusing on the impact of the different medical education models on the satisfaction, psychological wellbeing, and quality of training of medical and health profession students, as well as of professionals. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Medical education models across the world
- Nursing and health teaching
- Clinical practice and training
- Residency training
- Patient education and recovery
- Medical education and doctor–patient relationship
- Satisfaction and psychological wellbeing of medical and health profession students
- Medical education and professionals’ satisfaction
