				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Feedback is necessary for learners’ development, and teachers and professors should be trained on the importance of feedback. This study aimed to determine the feedback status in clinical education using the agenda-led outcome-based analysis (ALOBA) feedback model.Method: In this cross-sectional study, eight faculty members who were teaching in a 4-month period, at Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital were enrolled in Mashhad, Iran, in 2020. Their feedback-giving performance was recorded during a total of 66 clinical rounds. A valid checklist based on the ALOBA feedback model was used for collecting data.Results: The status of the three areas of feedback, including organization of the educational feedback, constructive feedback, and feedback outcome, and the overall feedback status were desirable. The male faculty members had better educational feedback status than the female ones (p&lt;0.001). In addition, there was a significant difference between the scores of faculty members with less and more than 15 years of work experience (p&lt;0.001). Regarding the academic rank, the overall feedback status and feedback in each three areas of feedback were significantly different between associate professors and assistant professors (p&lt;0.001) and between full professors and associate professors (p&lt;0.001).   Conclusion: Feedback in the three areas of the ALOBA model was at a desirable level and was influenced by factors such as gender, work experience, and academic rank. Further studies are necessary to examine the status of providing feedback in clinical education.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: A curriculum grounded on students’ entrepreneurial traits can significantly help knowledge production and institutional and business development. This study evaluated the internal quality of an entrepreneurship-oriented health sciences curriculum from the viewpoint of students.Method: The study employed a descriptive-analytical design. The target population included all students enrolled in health sciences disciplines at Birjand University of Medical Sciences. The Krejcie and Morgan table was used to determine a sample size of 194 participants, who were subsequently selected via convenience sampling. A 74-item researcher-made questionnaire was employed for data collection. The face validity of the instrument was confirmed by a panel of experts in medical education and curriculum planning. Moreover, the questionnaire&#039;s reliability was established using Cronbach&#039;s alpha, yielding a coefficient of 0.79. Data were analyzed with SPSS software (version 16), employing descriptive (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (one-sample t-test).Results: A statistically significant difference (p &lt; 0.05) was found between the empirical mean values ​​and the theoretical mean value ​​for curriculum elements in entrepreneurship-oriented health sciences programs, as viewed by students. The elements of objectives (3.33), content (3.58), learning materials (3.32), and evaluation (3.07) were at a desirable level, with their means exceeding the theoretical benchmark. A significant difference (p &lt; 0.05) was observed for the elements of teaching strategies (2.86), learning activities (2.50), grouping (2.61), time allocation (2.35), and learning space (2.62), where the empirical means fell below the theoretical mean (p &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: Academic curricula in medical universities, particularly in health faculties, function as critical contributors to achieving core educational and institutional goals.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: This study aims to evaluate the impact of pre-internship training programs on the perspective, knowledge, and performance of medical students transitioning from medical school to internship at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.Method: A quantitative, interventional study was conducted at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences on medical students entering their internship in the first and second semesters of 2021-2022. The participants were divided into intervention and control groups. A baseline preparedness assessment included a pretest using an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and a questionnaire assessing interns&#039; views. The intervention group received training in the final month of their medical education before beginning their internships. Both groups were re-evaluated with a post-test after gaining internship experience, and data were analyzed using SPSS software.Results: Of 144 participants, 133 completed the study. The control group had higher pre-test scores in knowledge and skills related to starting an internship, familiarity with patient hospitalization and discharge processes, and overall questionnaire scores (p = 0.018, p = 0.008, p = 0.005, p = 0.012, respectively). Conversely, the intervention group exhibited significantly higher knowledge related to internship processes, self-confidence, and working interactions post-training (p &lt; 0.001). While pre-test OSCE scores were similar (p = 0.254), the intervention group outperformed the control group in the post-test (p &lt; 0.001).Conclusion: The study demonstrates that pre-internship training programs significantly enhance the preparedness of medical students for their internships, highlighting their importance in equipping future health professionals with essential competencies for effective patient care.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Virtual education methods are rapidly increasing as the most prevalent approaches to teaching and learning globally. This study investigated medical students’ attitudes and learning outcomes regarding virtual versus traditional teaching methods in a general English course.Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences during 2022-2023. The sample (n=107) consisted of all students enrolled in a general English course and selected through convenience sampling. Fifty percent of the English lessons were delivered virtually via Adobe Connect, the NAVID system, and, to a lesser extent, WhatsApp and Telegram App. The remaining lessons were presented in-person. Then, students completed an attitude questionnaire comparing virtual and traditional teaching methods. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS software V.21.Results: The results showed the mean attitude score towards traditional and virtual education methods were 96.30±11.11 and 96.66±11.74, respectively. There was no significant difference in attitude scores between male and female students in both methods (p&lt;0.05). Similarly, there was no significant difference in English test scores between genders (p=0.59). The Wilcoxon test indicated no significant difference between students’ attitudes towards virtual and traditional education (p=0.52). Additionally, no significant correlation was found between students’ grades and their attitudes towards either of the teaching methods (p=0.63).Conclusion: The findings suggest that students’ attitudes towards virtual education were slightly more favorable than towards traditional education although the difference was not statistically significant. Therefore, virtual education can be considered a viable option for teaching theoretical courses.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: In healthcare and educational environments, effective KM is essential for fostering creativity and innovation, ultimately improving service delivery, educational outcomes, and patient care. This study examined the relationship between KM, creativity, and innovation among employees at educational and therapeutic centers affiliated to Iranshahr University of Medical Sciences.Methods: A descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 employees using a census method. Data were collected using two validated instruments: Karamitri et al.’s Knowledge Management Questionnaire (2020), and Sajjadi et al.’s Organizational Creativity Questionnaire (2025). Statistical analyses comprised descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, independent t-tests, and one-way ANOVA.Results: Employees reported moderate levels of KM (mean = 2.73 ± 0.57), creativity (mean = 2.99 ± 0.80), and innovation (mean = 3.20 ± 0.62). Knowledge sharing (2.97 ± 0.69) and knowledge identification (2.95 ± 0.72) were the highest-scoring KM dimensions, whereas knowledge utilization scored the lowest (2.36 ± 0.95). KM demonstrated a strong positive correlation with creativity (r = 0.661, p &lt; 0.001), explaining 43.7% of its variance, and a moderate correlation with innovation (r = 0.325, p &lt; 0.001). Creativity showed a weaker but significant association with innovation (r = 0.201, p = 0.02). Subgroup analyses indicated higher KM and creativity scores among male employees and those with fewer than five years of experience.Conclusion: Structured KM practices, especially knowledge sharing and acquisition, play a central role in enhancing employee creativity.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: The aim of this study was to design and implement a web-based escape room game to teach pharmacy students about digoxin poisoning and to compare it with traditional lecture-based education in terms of learning and student interaction. Method: This study was conducted at Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences in 2023. A virtual escape room game was designed, featuring puzzles such as crossword puzzles, Morse code, scrambled words, and other similar puzzles related to digoxin toxicity. Pharmacy students were divided into two groups: one group played the virtual escape room, and the other one received a typical lecture on the same topic. Pre- and post-tests were administered to both groups to assess knowledge gain. In addition, students in escape rooms completed a perception questionnaire to evaluate their satisfaction, motivation, and perceived value of the game. Results: The digital escape room students (4.19 ± 1.3) showed a statistically significant (p&lt;0.05) increase in knowledge scores compared to the lecture control group (3.68 ± 1.79). The perception survey recorded extremely high engagement and satisfaction scores, with students reporting that the game was an effective and enjoyable way to learn. Conclusion: The virtual escape room was an innovative and effective pedagogical tool for teaching pharmacy students about digoxin toxicity. This teaching method presents a potential new option for teaching challenging clinical materials at pharmacy schools.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional medical education, forcing a rapid shift from on-site to online learning and assessment. This study compared the academic performance of medical students in basic sciences period before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, focusing on routine final tests and national basic sciences exam scores.Method: This cross-sectional study analyzed the academic performance of 320 medical students across two time periods: pre-pandemic (2018–2019) and during the pandemic (2020–2021). Data were collected from routine final test scores and national basic sciences exam scores. Statistical comparisons were made using the Chi-square test and independent t-test, as appropriate, at 0.5 level of significance.Results: No significant difference was observed in routine final test scores before (15.01 ± 1.68) and during (15.09 ± 1.53) the pandemic (P=0.7). However, national basic sciences exam scores significantly declined from 104.78 ± 17.38 (pre-pandemic) to 94.21 ± 19.31 (during the pandemic) (P=0.038), suggesting that high-stakes assessments, which are administered with more precision and under strict conditions, were more adversely affected by pandemic-related disruptions.Conclusion: The significant decline in national basic sciences exam scores during the pandemic highlights the challenges posed by COVID-19 to medical education, particularly in high-reliability assessments. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address the long-term impacts of the pandemic on medical students&#039; academic performance and preparedness for future challenges.]]></abstract>
