				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Metabolic syndrome is a highly prevalent condition in India, requiring effective lifestyle and dietary counseling as a cornerstone of management. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an educational model incorporating kitchen classes to prepare Phase III MBBS students to competently counsel patients with metabolic syndrome regarding dietary modification.Method: A cross-sectional, interventional mixed-method study was conducted among 100 Phase III MBBS students at a medical college in North India. The intervention included didactic lectures, interdisciplinary sessions with anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry departments, dietician-led kitchen classes using pre-recorded cooking demonstrations, and role-play counseling exercises. Thirty students were randomly selected using the chit method for assessment before and after the intervention. Competence was evaluated through Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) scores, analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test. Open-ended qualitative feedback was analyzed thematically.Results: Mean OSCE and OSPE scores improved from 13.45 to 14.64 (p = 0.007) and 15.72 to 19.94 (p = 0.03), respectively. Students reported that kitchen classes enhanced understanding of portion sizes, hidden dietary fats and sugars, and practical applicability of nutrition knowledge. Role-play sessions improved confidence and empathy in patient communication. Thematic analysis revealed three domains: integration of theory with practice, improved counseling competence, and positive impact on personal health attitudes.Conclusion: A multidisciplinary, simulation-based curriculum centered on dietician-led kitchen classes significantly improved medical students’ competence and confidence in dietary counseling for metabolic syndrome and may improve practical nutrition skills.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: The flipped classroom model (FCM) emphasizes a learner-centered approach that promotes active learning, enhances student engagement, and fosters meaningful educational experiences. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the FCM and identify essential conditions for its adoption in medical education.Method: The prerequisites for implementing the flipped classroom were identified through a literature review and expert consultation, and an assessment tool was developed and validated. Two questionnaires and one checklist were used to assess student preparedness, teacher readiness, and technological infrastructure, respectively. The assessment items covered access and skills, motivation and participation, flexibility of instruction and content design, and software and hardware resources, and were scored using a five-point Likert scale. The survey included 250 medical students, 60 medical teachers, and 7 educational technology specialists from Mashhad Medical School.Results: Three main domains of readiness for implementing the flipped classroom were identified: student preparedness, faculty preparation, and technological infrastructure. The mean scores for student preparedness, faculty preparation, and technology provision were 2.82±0.49 (70.5%), 3.56±0.16 (91%), and 3.00±0.58 (75%), respectively, all indicating a desirable level. Motivation (86%) and access to technology (82%) received the highest scores, whereas online skills (54%) and participation in online discussions (58%) received the lowest. Attention to individual learning and professional coaching had the highest faculty scores (90%). Software facilities (89%) were desirable, while hardware facilities (60.7%) were relatively desirable.Conclusion: Successful implementation of the FCM in medical education depends on comprehensive readiness among both educators and students, along with reliable technological support. Addressing these prerequisites is essential to fully realize the benefits of this innovative teaching approach.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: This study explores the attitudes of speech and language pathology students toward their field of study and future career prospects at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. These insights are crucial for designing effective educational programs at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, particularly by highlighting how socio-cultural and demographic factors shape their perspectives.Method: A total of 88 students (79 bachelors and 9 MSc students) of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences participated in this descriptive–correlational, cross-sectional study during the second semester of the 2022–2023 academic year. Data were collected using a 17-item researcher-made questionnaire, measuring three components: interest in the field, future career prospects, and career planning. Data were analyzed using SPSS V.22 through descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Mean total attitude score was 61.19±11.23, indicating a generally positive outlook toward the field and future career. Significant differences were observed based on gender, marital status, and employment (p&lt;0.05), but not for age (p=0.18), being native (p=0.77), grade (p=0.34), and academic semester (p=0.07). Students who were married or employed tended to show more optimistic attitudes—possibly reflecting the impact of cultural expectancies in Iran, where social stability and work experience are highly valued. Conclusion: Overall, students exhibited positive attitudes toward their studies and future careers. However, these attitudes are shaped not only by individual motivation but also by socio-cultural influences, such as family expectations and perceptions of professional prestige. Recognizing these contextual factors can help universities develop targeted educational and career support programs that strengthen students’ professional identity and readiness for practice.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Faculty members’ motivation for teaching plays a pivotal role in the quality of clinical education. This study aimed to identify factors influencing faculty members’ teaching motivation in the era of AI.Method: This explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted concurrently in 2025. In the quantitative phase, 72 faculty members or non-faculty instructors were selected using stratified random sampling, and data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. The content validity of the instrument was assessed using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI), while its reliability was established using Cronbach’s alpha. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 and the Friedman test. In the qualitative phase, 20 faculty members were selected through nested sampling, and data were collected using open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews. Qualitative sampling and data collection continued until data saturation was achieved and were analyzed using the inductive content analysis approach proposed by Elo and Kyngäs.Results: Teaching motivation was influenced by individual, educational, organizational, and technological factors. The Friedman test revealed significant differences among the motivational dimensions (p &lt; .001). Teaching competence (4.46 ± 0.44), reward and incentive systems (4.45 ± 0.59), and personal interest and motivation (4.44 ± 0.46) received the highest mean scores, whereas workload and responsibilities (3.77 ± 0.95) and educational policies and structures (3.90 ± 0.60) were rated lower. Qualitative findings highlighted the importance of teaching competence, fair rewards, positive student interaction, supportive environments, and the perceived capacity of AI tools to facilitate teaching.Conclusions: The motivation of faculty members regarding teaching is multidimensional and influenced by individual, educational, organizational, and technological factors. Sustained engagement in teaching requires attention to competencies and the creation of supportive environments.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the policies in the Iranian and Iraqi English for Academic Purposes (EAP) education and the extent to which objectives match the policies and are materialized in practice.Method: This qualitative study, conducted between 2023 and 2024, explored EAP policy and practice by analyzing course syllabi and conducting semi-structured interviews with English language instructors and subject-matter specialists across selected Iranian and Iraqi medical universities. We adopted seven policy areas from Kaplan and Baldauf’s (2005) language-in-education planning as the framework of the study. Based on document analysis and interviews with some language teachers and subject-matter specialists, the similarities and discrepancies between the two sets of data were investigated. Finally, we compared the data from Iranian and Iraqi medical university contexts.Results: Findings revealed substantial gaps between policy and practice in both contexts though the nature and severity of these gaps differ. The results showed that EAP course descriptions do not include any comments on policy and there were discrepancies in policy and practice due to such factors as lack of communication channel between the EAP stakeholders and policymakers.Conclusion: Due to deficiencies in both policy and practice and in order to reach an acceptable status, EAP programs are in an urgent need for reconceptualizing policy-making and practice. The findings of this study have implications for EAP policies and practice in medical academic system of Iran and Iraq. It might be beneficial for decision-makers, university administrators, curriculum planners, and EAP instructors and learners.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Storytelling is an age-old craft of weaving narratives that form one of the most fundamental forms of human expression. Currently, it is being explored for medical education. Implementing storytelling in pre-clinical subjects like Physiology poses challenges due to its content being primarily at the molecular level. Distinguishing storytelling from traditional methods, this article explores the scientific evidence supporting the advantages, such as increased student engagement and comprehension, and challenges, including potential resistance from educators and concerns about scientific accuracy. Evidence-based strategies are proposed to mitigate these challenges, encompassing faculty development programs. Furthermore, this article discusses the potential role of large language models in crafting scientifically accurate and engaging storytelling sessions. Backed by evidence supporting its potential for wider reach and collaborative learning, social media may be an appealing platform for storytelling. Addressing the multimedia aspect, the article discusses essential hardware and software tools for creating visually appealing educational content, acknowledging diverse learning preferences. Hence, this article provides an evidence-based insight into effectively harnessing storytelling in physiology teaching.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Universities play a crucial role in knowledge transfer and training skilled human resources, making continuous evaluation of educational quality essential. Assessing the quality of the undergraduate nursing curriculum from the perspectives of students and faculty members can enhance learning outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of the undergraduate nursing program.Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, during the 2024-2025 academic year. The participants consisted of 214 nursing students and 17 faculty members. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire to evaluate curriculum quality across four dimensions: objectives, content, teaching strategies, and evaluation methods. The data collection process was carried out through both online and in-person methods.Results: Overall, the perceived curriculum quality scores (range: 17–85) were 47.77 ± 10.83 for faculty members and 52.54 ± 5.22 for students. Both groups assessed the quality as ‘relatively desirable’ (score range: 40–62), as well as across all four dimensions: objectives (p=0.028, g=0.54), content (p=0.004, g=0.56), teaching strategies (p=0.002, g=0.61), and assessment strategies (p&lt;0.001, g=0.63).Conclusions: Identifying the strengths and areas for improvement in the curriculum provides a practical basis for educational reform, paving the way for enhancing clinical competencies and the future quality of nursing care.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) is a workplace-based assessment format that combines direct observation with feedback. This systematic review examined ophthalmology-specific studies reporting learner outcomes, perceptions, and implementation characteristics associated with DOPS.Method: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and ERIC through April 2025, with backward and forward citation tracking. Eligible studies were controlled or uncontrolled quasi-experimental studies and methodological comparisons of DOPS-related activities in ophthalmology trainees. Two reviewers independently screened records, extracted data, and assessed methodological limitations. Outcomes included procedural performance, learner and assessor perceptions, and implementation characteristics. Heterogeneous findings were synthesized narratively.Results: Six studies met the inclusion criteria: one controlled pre–post comparison with alternating allocation, three uncontrolled quasi-experimental studies, and two methodological comparisons. The controlled comparison reported higher post-test OSCE scores after a DOPS-based teaching package than after traditional instruction (ophthalmic torch examination: 6.80 vs. 5.35; fundoscopy: 6.50 vs. 4.70; both p = 0.001). The uncontrolled studies reported higher scores or more favorable perceptions after programs that included DOPS; one program also included Peyton’s four-step teaching method, supervised practice, and feedback. The methodological comparisons found score correspondence between Video Observation of Procedural Skills (VOPS) and DOPS in small single-assessor samples; these findings do not establish validity or interchangeability. Several studies described assessor preparation and standardized forms.Conclusions: Current evidence suggests that DOPS is a promising formative assessment strategy in ophthalmology education; however, the certainty of evidence is limited by small samples, single-center designs, lack of controls, heterogeneous interventions, and insufficient psychometric evaluation.]]></abstract>
