• Modern artificial intelligence and large language models in graduate medical education: a scoping review of attitudes, applications & practice

  BMC Medical Education · 2025-05-20 · 14 citations

  reviewOpen access

  BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds transformative potential for graduate medical education (GME), yet, a comprehensive exploration of AI's applications, perceptions, and limitations in GME is lacking. OBJECTIVE: To map the current literature on AI in GME, identifying prevailing perceptions, applications, and research gaps to inform future research, policy discussions, and educational practices through a scoping review. METHODS: Following the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and the PRISMA-ScR checklist a comprehensive search of multiple databases up to February 2024 was performed to include studies addressing AI interventions in GME. RESULTS: Out of 1734 citations, 102 studies met the inclusion criteria, conducted across 16 countries, predominantly from North America (72), Asia (14), and Europe (6). Radiology had the highest number of publications (21), followed by general surgery (11) and emergency medicine (8). The majority of studies were published in 2023. Several key thematic areas emerged from the literature. Initially, perceptions of AI in graduate medical education (GME) were mixed, but have increasingly shifted toward a more favorable outlook, particularly as the benefits of AI integration in education become more apparent. In assessments, AI demonstrated the ability to differentiate between skill levels and offer meaningful feedback. It has also been effective in evaluating narrative comments to assess resident performance. In the domain of recruitment, AI tools have been applied to analyze letters of recommendation, applications, and personal statements, helping identify potential biases and improve equity in candidate selection. Furthermore, large language models consistently outperformed average candidates on board certification and in-training examinations, indicating their potential utility in standardized assessments. Finally, AI tools showed promise in enhancing clinical decision-making by supporting trainees with improved diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of applications and limitations of AI in GME but is limited with potential biases, study heterogeneity, and evolving nature of AI.

• Dietary Sugar and Sweetened Beverage Intake Increases Inflammatory Bowel Disease Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

  United European Gastroenterology Journal · 2025-06-18 · 5 citations

  reviewOpen access

  BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The impact of dietary sugar intake on the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease is unclear, with inconsistent findings across studies. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to clarify how sugar consumption contributes to the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using the most recently available data. METHODS: A library informationist retrieved relevant articles from PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, and Scopus. Two independent reviewers screened the abstracts and full texts, yielding 45 studies for inclusion. Meta-analyses estimated odd ratios using random effect models. RESULTS: 11 prospective and 34 retrospective studies reported data on sugar intake and IBD risk. Pooled analysis showed that added sugar intake was associated with increased risk of Crohn's disease (OR 1.66; 95% Cl 1.21-2.29; n = 523,730; 14 studies) and ulcerative colitis (OR 1.59; 95% CI 1.25-2.02; n = 787,228; 18 studies). Similarly, soda/sweetened beverage intake was associated with increased risk of Crohn's disease (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.18-2.12; n = 328,716; 12 studies) and ulcerative colitis (OR 1.72; 95% CI 1.23-2.391; n = 328,642; 13 studies). CONCLUSIONS: Sugar and soda/sweetened beverage intake were associated with an increased risk of developing both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Although additional prospective investigation is warranted, current data suggest that reduction of sugar consumption might help reduce the risk of inflammatory bowel disease.

• Universal, School‐Based Mental Health Literacy Programs for Middle School Students: A Scoping Review

  Journal of School Health · 2024-12-26 · 2 citations

  reviewOpen access

  BACKGROUND: Universal, classroom-based mental health literacy (MHL) curricula are associated with improved mental health knowledge, attitudes, and help-seeking behaviors. Young adolescents are an ideal target given their need for and receptivity toward MHL education. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review to identify universal, school-based MHL programs primarily for students aged 10-14 years, with adequate descriptions of curriculum implementation and content, and measured outcomes. FINDINGS: Thirty-one articles describing 24 programs met the inclusion criteria. The content and educational strategies varied, with no two programs having the same curriculum. The studies show promising results for improvement in mental health knowledge, attitudes, help-seeking, and student mental health. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: Collaborative work between educational and mental health professionals, along with rigorous study of outcomes, aiming to reach a consensus on a core MHL curriculum and best implementation practices, will advance efforts to improve MHL. CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review confirmed that existing universal, school-based MHL programs for middle school-aged students improve mental health knowledge. The programs are diverse, and their outcomes are often challenging to compare. Ongoing study in this field to optimize design and implementation for improved effectiveness is needed.
