UNASSIGNED: Scientific research promotes the development of essential skills for medical practice. However, student participation in research projects is low, with multiple limitations and students\' perceptions of deficient research skills. This study aims to describe the organization of the two medical student conferences held by the Scientific Society of Medical Students of the Universidad de Valparaíso and to analyze the papers presented. Finally, we make recommendations for promoting scientific research among medical students.
UNASSIGNED: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted, including all the presentations given at the conferences.
UNASSIGNED: The conferences comprised four phases: registration, evaluation, selection, and presentation. A total of 399 papers were received. A total of 157 case reports and 12 cross-sectional studies were presented, including 797 authors (56.7% women) from 21 universities. Most of the first authors were women in the internship cycle at public universities. The specialties with the highest representation were internal medicine (32.5%), pediatrics (18.3%) and surgery (13%). In the case reports, the best-evaluated section was the title (6.66 ± 0.76), and the worst-evaluated section was the discussion (6.17 ± 0.84). The case reports from private universities scored significantly higher in six of the eight items assessed.
UNASSIGNED: Greater participation was represented by students in their internship cycle presenting case reports. The worst evaluated section was the discussion, which could reflect difficulties in the research process. It is crucial to increase student participation from the first years of the career and encourage their involvement in research. More studies are needed to evaluate student participation and barriers to scientific research.

Sin embargo, la participación estudiantil en proyectos de investigación es baja, con múltiples limitaciones y percepción de habilidades investigativas deficientes por parte de los estudiantes. Los objetivos de este estudio son describir la organización de las dos jornadas de estudiantes de medicina realizadas por la Sociedad Científica de Estudiantes de Medicina de la Universidad de Valparaíso y caracterizar los trabajos presentados. Finalmente, se realizan recomendaciones para la promoción de la investigación científica en estudiantes de medicina.
UNASSIGNED: Se realizó un estudio transversal analítico que incluyó todos los trabajos presentados en las jornadas.
UNASSIGNED: Las jornadas comprendieron cuatro fases: inscripción, evaluación, selección y presentación. Se recibieron 399 trabajos. Se presentaron 157 reportes de caso y 12 estudios transversales, incluyendo 797 autores (56,7% mujeres) de 21 universidades. Mayormente, los primeros autores fueron mujeres cursando el ciclo de internados en universidades estatales. Las especialidades con mayor representación fueron medicina interna (32,5%), pediatría (18,3%) y cirugía (13%). En los reportes de caso, la sección mejor evaluada fue el título (6,66 ± 0,76) y la peor evaluada la discusión (6,17 ± 0,84). Los reportes de caso provenientes de universidades privadas obtuvieron una calificación significativamente mayor en seis de los ocho ítems evaluados.
UNASSIGNED: La mayor participación estuvo representada por estudiantes cursando el ciclo de internados que presentaron reportes de caso. La sección peor evaluada fue la discusión, lo que podría reflejar dificultades en el proceso de investigación. Es crucial aumentar la participación estudiantil desde los primeros años de la carrera y fomentar su involucramiento en investigación. Se requieren más estudios para evaluar la participación y las barreras estudiantiles en investigación científica.

BACKGROUND: Dietetics curricula currently fail to meet the educational needs of the future dietetic workforce to contribute expertise in sustainable, healthy food systems in the settings in which dietitians work. A \'Global Networking Event on Sustainable Food Systems in Nutrition and Dietetics Education\' was held in June 2023 with the goals of building relationships among international stakeholders and informing the development of shared curricula.
METHODS: Plenary lectures, panels and roundtable discussions were held over 2 days, designed to provide the background required to generate informed actions. Topics included recent research from practice and education, competency standards and relevant policy documents, examples from the field, \'big questions\' about scope and student perspectives. Key messages were summarised thematically to inform educators and national dietetics associations.
RESULTS: Fifty-five delegates attended from 11 nations representing education, research, dietetic associations, industry and diverse practice backgrounds. Key priorities identified for educators included co-development of curricular frameworks and pedagogical theory, practical training supports and solutions to limited time and expertise. Key recommendations for national dietetics associations included strategic promotion of sustainable food systems in dietetic roles and practical supports.
CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes are anticipated to stimulate ongoing discussion, collaboration and actions on sustainable food systems education within the dietetics profession leading to shared curricular models and supports.

OBJECTIVE: The Korean Society of Medical Education (KSME) was founded in 1983 and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2023. This study examines the evolution of topics discussed at KSME conferences from 1971 through 2023, highlighting shifts in the focus of medical education.
METHODS: We analyzed 90 KSME conferences over 5 decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s), categorizing the topics into three eras based on emerging themes and continuity.
RESULTS: Consequently, 37 topics covered at the conference were categorized. Ten topics continuously appeared from the 1970s to the 2010s, including future directions of medical education, teaching methods, faculty development, and curriculum. The topics from the 1970s to the 1990s included 14 areas, such as medical education evaluation, non-undergraduate curriculum, community-related, and research. Thirteen new topics emerged after the 2000s, such as social accountability, student support, professionalism, and quality improvements. The most common topics under innovations in medical education, a case of curriculum innovation at universities that began after 2000, were clinical clerkship, curriculum development, and medical humanities.
CONCLUSIONS: KSME\'s selection of conference topics has been strategically aligned with societal needs and the evolving landscape of medical education. Future topics should continue to address relevant societal and educational challenges.

The Wilderness Medical Society (WMS) convened an expert panel to develop evidence-based guidelines for the management of pain in austere environments. Recommendations are graded based on the quality of supporting evidence as defined by criteria put forth by the American College of Chest Physicians. This is an update of the 2014 version of the \"WMS Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Acute Pain in Remote Environments\" published in Wilderness & Environmental Medicine 2014; 25:41-49.

Background: An estimated 3 billion people, largely in low- and middle-income countries, rely on unclean fuels for cooking, heating, and lighting to meet household energy needs. The resulting exposure to household air pollution (HAP) is a leading cause of pneumonia, chronic lung disease, and other adverse health effects. In the last decade, randomized controlled trials of clean cooking interventions to reduce HAP have been conducted. We aim to provide guidance on how to interpret the findings of these trials and how they should inform policy makers and practitioners.Methods: We assembled a multidisciplinary working group of international researchers, public health practitioners, and policymakers with expertise in household air pollution from within academia, the American Thoracic Society, funders, nongovernmental organizations, and global organizations, including the World Bank and the World Health Organization. We performed a literature search, convened four sessions via web conference, and developed consensus conclusions and recommendations via the Delphi method.Results: The committee reached consensus on 14 conclusions and recommendations. Although some trials using cleaner-burning biomass stoves or cleaner-cooking fuels have reduced HAP exposure, the committee was divided (with 55% saying no and 45% saying yes) on whether the studied interventions improved measured health outcomes.Conclusions: HAP is associated with adverse health effects in observational studies. However, it remains unclear which household energy interventions reduce exposure, improve health, can be scaled, and are sustainable. Researchers should engage with policy makers and practitioners working to scale cleaner energy solutions to understand and address their information needs.

BACKGROUND: As the Sustainable Development Goals deadline of 2030 draws near, greater attention is being given to health beyond the health sector, in other words, to the creation of healthy societies. However, action and reform in this area has not kept pace, in part due to a focus on narrower interventions and the lack of upstream action on health inequity. With an aim to guide action and political engagement for reform, we conducted a thematic analysis of concepts seeking to arrive at healthy societies.
METHODS: This paper drew on a qualitative thematic analysis of a purposive sample of 68 documents including political declarations, reports, peer reviewed literature and guidance published since 1974. Three independent reviewers extracted data to identify, discuss and critique public policy levers and \'enablers\' of healthy societies, the \"how.\"
RESULTS: The first lever concerned regulatory and fiscal measures. The second was intersectoral action. The final lever a shift in the global consensus around what signifies societal transformation and outcomes. The three enablers covered political leadership and accountability, popular mobilization and the generation and use of knowledge.
CONCLUSIONS: Documents focused largely on technical rather than political solutions. Even as the importance of political leadership was recognized, analysis of power was limited. Rights-based approaches were generally neglected as was assessing what worked or did not work to pull the levers or invest in the enablers. Frameworks typically failed to acknowledge or challenge prevailing ideologies, and did not seek to identify ways to hold or governments or corporations accountable for failures. Finally, ideas and approaches seem to recur again over the decades, without adding further nuance or analysis. This suggests a need for more upstream, critical and radical approaches to achieve healthy societies.
