Clinicians are often adept at handling routine clinical procedures but lack confidence and a proper strategy when previously un-encountered situations arise. Lots of research has been conducted on basic concepts and development of adaptive expertise however major chunk of literature belongs to non- medical fields. Little is studied about assessment of adaptive expertise in medical professionals and postgraduate residents.Objective: To measure adaptive expertise (AE) of radiology residents and to assess any association between the AE of postgraduate radiology residents (PGR) and their years of training.Methods: This multicenter correlational study involved 181 radiology residents from nine major teaching hospital of Lahore,Pakistan from May to October 2019. Katerina Bohle Carbonell Adaptive Expertise Inventory was used as a data collection tool. The questionnaire contained a total of eleven items encompassing two dimensions of AE: domain-specific and innovative skills. Total scores representing AE of PGRs were measured. AE scores and years of training were correlated using Spearman rho correlation. One-way ANOVA was conducted to further evaluate the association between AE and years of postgraduate training.Results: Out of 181 residents there were 78 (43.1%) males and 103 (56.9%) females. Most of them, 97 (53.6%) were enrolled in four years fellowship (FCPS) program and 62 (34.3%) were in the first year of their residency. Total AE scores of all radiology residents ranged from 33 to 54. AE scores and years of residency were positively correlated (rs= 0.4, p < 0.01). One-way ANOVA and Post hoc comparisons using Tukey HSD test further revealed significant pairwise differences between mean scores of residents’ groups (p = < 0.05) rejecting the null hypothesis.Conclusion: Overall, this study concludes that residents acquire adaptive expertise perpetually with progression in their training. \u0000KEYWORDS: Adaptive Expertise (AE), Radiology, Postgraduate Residents (PGRs)","PeriodicalId":338468,"journal":{"name":"Health Professions Educator Journal","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115952596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Covid-19 Pandemic has underscored the reality of a myriad of problems in medical education, academic stress amongst them. This study aims to find the corelation between emotional intelligence and pandemic perceived stress scores of students in a medical college in Pakistan. Socio-demographic factors are used tofind possible correlations and divergences between pandemic perceived stress scores and emotional intelligence in undergraduate medical students. \u0000Objective:The primary objectives are an exploration of the demographic attributes of participants, an assessment of students’ levels of perceived stress during the COVID-19 pandemic and emotional intelligence, and an exploration of a correlation between pandemic perceived stress scores and emotional intelligence \u0000Methods:The present study utilizes a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational design. A convenience sample of 86 medical students in the first and second years of MBBS were recruited for the study. The participants completed a self-report questionnaire, covering three sections: demographic factors, pandemic perceived stress (the Perceived Stress Scale) and, emotional intelligence (the MindTools test). \u0000Results:The results demonstrated that majority of the participants (86%) had an average level of emotional intelligence. Only 14% had high levels of emotional intelligence. A negative non-significant correlation was noted between Pandemic perceived stress scores and emotional intelligence. While a significant difference (P< 0.01) was noted between the Pandemic perceived stress scores of males and females, with females exhibiting more stress than males. A slightly less significant difference (P<0.05) for Pandemic perceived stress was also found between students of first and second years medical students. Second year students were observed to exhibit greater stress. \u0000Conclusion:The study findings demonstrate that emotional intelligence does not significantly differ by educational year or gender while greater levels of Pandemic perceived stress was noted to differ across genders and educational years. However, lower levels of Pandemic perceived stress were associated with higher (although non-significant) levels of emotional intelligence. It is thus, important to impart pertinent information about emotional intelligence to medical students. It is also essential to teach them to identify and therefore, overcome stressors. Information and guidance about stress and emotional intelligence should be incorporated into the curricula of health-related fields. \u0000  \u0000KEYWORDS: \u0000Emotional intelligence, Pandemic, perceived stress, correlational study, medical students \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":338468,"journal":{"name":"Health Professions Educator Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128394462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Salovey and Mayer investigated the reasons why many clever people failed in life more than a decade ago. Their research led to the identification of an intelligence subset known as emotional intelligence (EI). EI, as a sort of social intelligence, is more important than cognitive intelligence in terms of success.Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation of EQ and IQ with Academic performances.Methods: The present cross -sectional study was conducted in Baqai Dental College from July 2021- September 2021 after getting ethical approval from Ethical review board, Baqai Dental College. Dental students from 2nd year, 3rd year and Final year were invited to participate through census sampling technique. The study included all students from each class who were present on the day of data collection whereas those absent from each class were excluded from the study.Results: A total of 165 dental students participated in the study. Majority of the dental students fall in the domain of emotional awareness and management within 25-34 range of effective functioning. Frequency and percentages were also calculated for level of intelligence and 72 (43.6%) of the dental students scored 90-109 which is considered as Normal. Association of students marks from the last examination with IQ score was calculated and 48(39.7%) students with <60% in the last examination fall in the Normal range of IQ. Correlation between EQ, IQ and academic performance was calculated and showed that a negative correlation was found between Academic performance and IQ.Conclusion: The present study concluded that emotional intelligence is positively correlated with academic performance and negatively correlated with IQ.KEYWORDS: Academic performance, Intelligent Quotient, Emotional awareness, Emotional intelligence, Emotional management, Relationship management","PeriodicalId":338468,"journal":{"name":"Health Professions Educator Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125126633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is increasing evidence that exam modality and gender play a significant role in generating anxiety in medical students. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of exam anxiety in different assessment modalities with same examination standards and criteria among dental students at University College of Dentistry (UCD), The University of Lahore (UOL). \u0000Method:We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey of over 250 dental students from years 1 to 4, at UCD to assess the test anxiety in dental students with different exam modalities. Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the variations of perceptions among male and female students of UCD. Chi-square was used to test for analysis of academic years with different modalities of exams. \u0000Results:The analysis suggested that “extensive course load” with highest anxiety mean score of 4 was most anxiety provoking followed by “studying all night” (mean score=3) in all assessment modalities. The single most test-anxiety provoking modality was “OSCE station with examiner”, with an average combined mean score of 57, followed by “Long-case” (mean score=56). The data revealed that “psychological issues” (p=0.05), “OSCE station with the examiner” (p=0.02) and “exam taking strategy” (p=0.00) were found statistically significant with respect to genders. The combined score of all exam modalities under the domain of “information needs” was highly significant (p=0.02) with highest mean rank observed in final year dental students followed by 2nd-year students. \u0000Conclusion:We conclude that face-to-face assessments evoke anxiety in students, especially in females. This may be because it also involves confidence and presentation other than theoretical knowledge as in short answer questions (SAQ).
