				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: The integration of digital technologies into medical education has necessitated a shift toward student-centered pedagogical models. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a multi-platform flipped classroom (FC) model on academic achievement, student engagement, and satisfaction within a practical microbiology course.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 70 medical laboratory students at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. The cohorts were divided into a traditional group (n = 35; year 2024) and an FC group (n = 35; year 2025). The FC group engaged in asynchronous pre-class preparation via instructional videos and digital resources, reinforced by mandatory introductory quizzes, while synchronous lab time was dedicated to interactive manual techniques. Data were collected using final academic grades and a validated 6-item Likert scale questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using independent t-tests. Results: Although the FC group achieved a slightly higher mean grade (17.06 ± 2.66) compared to the traditional group (16.89 ± 1.95), the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.76). However, the FC model yielded a substantial increase in student satisfaction (4.86 ± 0.4) compared to the traditional group (3.70 ± 0.90) (P &lt; 0.001) and active engagement (4.67 ± 0.52) compared to the traditional group (3.25 ± 0.88) (P &lt; 0.001). Notably, class participation scores increased by 87% in the flipped cohort.Conclusion: While the flipped classroom model did not significantly alter raw academic scores, it fundamentally enhanced the educational environment by fostering superior student engagement and satisfaction. This model represents a robust alternative for practical laboratory instruction in the digital era.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: The assessment of clinical skills is an integral part of medical education. Given the importance of student satisfaction as a key determinant of educational effectiveness, this study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of medical students during their clinical clerkship with the implementation of the Mini-CEX in the General Internal Medicine Ward at Hasheminejad Hospital, Mashhad.Method: This descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study involved 53 clinical clerkship medical students at Hasheminejad Hospital, Mashhad (2023–2024). The participants (58.5% male, 41.5% female; mean age 23.66 years) included all students assigned to the General Internal Medicine rotation. After obtaining written informed consent, data were collected using the validated Mini-CEX questionnaire developed by Habibi et al.Results: Practical assessment scores ranged from 0 to 10. The highest scores were observed in the Professionalism domain (9.26 ± 0.72), while the lowest were in Clinical Reasoning (8.91 ± 0.68). Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between scores and gender. Overall satisfaction was high, with mean scores in all evaluated dimensions exceeding 8.Conclusion: The results reflect the positive impact of using the Mini-CEX. Medical students in the clinical phase achieved acceptable scores and reported high satisfaction with the process. These findings support the continued use of Mini-CEX and the integration of student-led improvements.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: In the dental profession, which faces complex diagnostic challenges and sensitive decision-making, possessing critical thinking skills is essential for the students of dentistry to analyze evidence and select the best treatment plan. On the other hand, information literacy, as a prerequisite for accessing reliable and up-to-date knowledge, forms the foundation of these decisions. Improving students&#039; information literacy can increase their level of critical thinking skills.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 149 undergraduate dental students of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences who had completed at least one semester in 2021. The California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST-form B) and the standard Information Literacy Questionnaire were used to determine the scores of critical thinking and information literacy, respectively, and then the relationship between the two variables was examined. Linear regression model was used for data analysis through SPSS software version 24.Results: The mean score of critical thinking in students was 9.67±3.77 (out of 34) and the mean score of information literacy was 43.96 ± 10.04 (out of 87). These scores were below the midpoint of the achievable score range for both variables. Also, there was a significant relationship between students’ critical thinking and information literacy (P = 0.020) so that with the increase of information literacy, the level of students&#039; critical thinking increased. Conclusion: Due to the fact that dental students do not have the desired level of critical thinking and information literacy, it seems necessary to plan and implement appropriate educational programs so as to promote the students’ information literacy and thus improve their critical thinking skills.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI (GenAI), is fundamentally transforming dental education by enabling highly personalized learning and refining clinical decision-making. However, the rapid adoption of tools like ChatGPT has outpaced the establishment of formal educational guidelines, thereby introducing novel ethical and practical concerns.Methods: A comprehensive narrative review was conducted, synthesizing current literature and authoritative reviews published since 2020, with a focus on the integration of GenAI integration in dental education. Additional sources were identified from key bibliographies. This review critically evaluates the impacts, challenges, and optimal strategies for incorporating AI across undergraduate and postgraduate dental curricula.Results: AI tools, especially GenAI, are increasingly being integrated into teaching, learning, and assessment. Documented benefits include personalized feedback, realistic clinical case simulations, and improved diagnostic reasoning. These technologies promote educational efficiency, pedagogical innovation, and student engagement. However, significant risks remain, including threats to academic integrity (e.g., AI-generated assignments), algorithmic bias, and data privacy issues. Most dental institutions currently lack discipline-specific AI policies, though broader university and global guidelines emphasize ethical use, transparency, and critical thinking. Successful integration depends on comprehensive faculty development, clear ethical frameworks, and student literacy regarding the capabilities and limitations of AI.Conclusion: The integration of AI and GenAI into dental education not only offers transformative potential but also introduces unique challenges. Proactive curriculum development and institutional policies are essential to harness these technologies effectively while upholding academic integrity and ethical standards.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: The rapid growth of smartphone use has encouraged the adoption of innovative approaches in medical education. The aim of this study was to design and psychometrically validate a measurement model for the Smart Screening System “Screen App” based on the constructs of Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) among midwifery students.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate Midwifery students of Islamic Azad University of Mashhad in 2023-2024. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire designed based on the five constructs of Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory. The content validity of the instrument was confirmed by 13 medical education experts and four Midwifery students. Students received detailed instructions and a 3–7 day familiarization period before completing the questionnaire.Results: Quantitative face validity was evaluated using the Item Impact Score. The results indicated that no items required removal at this stage. Subsequently, content validity was assessed using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and the Content Validity Index (CVI). The minimum acceptable values for CVR and CVI were set at 0.54 and 0.70, respectively. CFA confirmed the good fit of the five-construct model includes the Chi-square/degrees of freedom ratio (χ²/df = 1.49), Comparative Fit Index (CFI = 0.93), Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI = 0.92), Incremental Fit Index (IFI = 0.94) and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA = 0.06) within the Intelligent Screening Application (ISA) system, supporting the theoretical structure.Conclusions: “The Screen App”, as an innovative educational tool, may facilitate deeper learning and exert a significant educational impact on students, by incorporating the essential characteristics of innovation.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fishbowl method as an interactive teaching learning tool for phase II MBBS students in the microbiology department of a medical college in IndiaMethod: This prospective interventional study involved 110 MBBS 2nd professional students at Shri Balaji Institute of Medical Sciences, India. After a didactic lecture on enteric fever, students participated in a fishbowl activity, divided into closed and open sessions. Post-lecture and post-fishbowl assessments were conducted using 16 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and a survey with Likert-scale and open-ended questions to gather feedback.Results: The results showed a statistically significant improvement in students&#039; scores after the fishbowl method (p &lt; 0.001). The mean test scores post-lecture and post-fishbowl were 6.50 and 9.07, respectively. Students&#039; feedback revealed strong agreement (30-41%) that the fishbowl method was interesting, improved critical thinking, and enhanced communication skills. The method was also found to increase interest, improve retention, and provide a clearer understanding of concepts.Conclusion: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of the fishbowl method in enhancing students&#039; understanding and retention of microbiology concepts, promoting academic excellence and interactive learning. It highlights the need for student-centered approaches and innovation in teaching practices to optimize learning outcomes and transform education.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Burnout is common among medical students. Resilience is a protective and buffering response to overcome burnout and anxiety. The study aimed to assess the levels of burnout and resilience among final-year medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Benghazi.Method: A cross-sectional study of a randomly selected sample of 199 final-year medical students was carried out between 2024 and 2025. Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory scale, and resilience was evaluated by the ten-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.Results: The mean resilience score was 66.6%. Most students showed resilience levels that were just above average in 47%, or above average in 34%. Regarding burnout, 110 students (55.3%) reported high exhaustion, 80 (40.2%) reported depersonalization, and 113 (56.7%) reported low self-accomplishment. In contrast, high personal accomplishment was above average in 14 students (30.4%) and average in 20 others (43.5%) (P = 0.006).Conclusion: Nearly half of the studied group were at high risk of distress or had low resilience. Approximately half of them had exhaustion or low personal accomplishment, and more than one-third had high depersonalization. However, there was no significant association between resilience and gender, marital status, parenthood, working while studying, or having enough income.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Peer and self-assessment have become integral to advancing student-centered learning and professional growth in medical education. This letter to the editor explores the evolving role of these assessment modalities, emphasizing their capacity to enhance self-awareness, critical thinking, and reflective practice among medical students. The paper highlights the educational value of peer assessment, particularly when structured with multiple assessors and clear criteria, which improves reliability and supports formative learning. It addresses persistent challenges such as inconsistent implementation, lack of training, and fairness concerns, underscoring the necessity for faculty guidance and institutional support. The integration of portfolios and comprehensive feedback systems further enriches the learning process, promoting reflection and competency-based education. The letter also examines the limitations of self-assessment, notably the Dunning-Kruger effect, and advocates for robust feedback mechanisms to foster accurate self-perception. The association between assessment scores and professionalism is discussed, suggesting these tools can help identify students at risk for lapses and guide targeted interventions. Additionally, the reciprocal benefits of peer tutoring are recognized. The author calls for ongoing research and innovation to refine peer and self-assessment practices, aiming to maximize their impact on student engagement, collaboration, and preparation for the complexities of modern healthcare.]]></abstract>
