Through receiving professionalism education, most medical students gradually acquire professionalism, including a professional attitude. However, some medical students demonstrate unprofessional behavior that raises concerns among faculty and other students. There are various stages to dealing with unprofessional behavior, as follows: definition, prevention, detection, evaluation, correction, and follow-up. However, it is often difficult to identify unprofessional behavior and respond appropriately. In this study, overview of medical students' unprofessional behavior from previous studies on medical students' unprofessionalism behavior, and how to identify and evaluate medical students' unprofessional behavior, and effective education that can correct medical students' unprofessional behavior was analyzed by reviewing 52 articles. Medical students' unprofessional behavior is classified into the following four categories: \"lack of involvement,\" \"lack of integrity,\" \"lack of interaction,\" and \"lack of introspection.\" The occurrence of unprofessional behavior was found to be attributed to personal problems, interpersonal problems, external factors, and environmental factors. Educators analyzed unprofessional behavior and its causes from four categories. Medical students should perform reflective writing to help them reflect on their unprofessional behavior. Educators should use this reflective writing to interact with medical students, and to investigate and analyze the students' unprofessional behavior. Furthermore, educators will need to assess unprofessional behavior using a roadmap to address unprofessionalism, and to respond appropriately to each stage of the roadmap. Individualized educational interventions should be provided to help students correct their unprofessional behavior.","PeriodicalId":37737,"journal":{"name":"Korean journal of medical education","volume":"37 1","pages":"47-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11900838/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, Baron and Kenny's hierarchical multiple regression analyses, and the Sobel test.Results: Student satisfaction was significantly correlated with self-efficacy (r=0.724, p<0.01) and transfer motivation (r=0.538, p<0.01). Self-efficacy and transfer motivation were also highly correlated (r=0.789, p<0.01). Multiple regression analyses and Sobel test indicated that self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between student satisfaction and transfer motivation (Z=2.704, p<0.01).Conclusion: In this study, early clinical experience program increased premedical students' self-efficacy and transfer motivation for clinical knowledge and confirmed that self-efficacy mediated student satisfaction.

Associations between peer ratings and grade point average (GPA), exit assessment scores, and Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE) scores were analyzed.Results: Peer ratings showed moderate to strong positive associations with exit assessments and KMLE scores, but no relationship with cumulative GPAs. Peer ratings correlated more strongly with objective structured clinical examinations than written tests.Conclusion: Medical students' outcomes in exit assessments and KMLEs, especially clinical performance tests, are strong predictors of their performance as intern doctors. These findings highlight the value of clinical performance assessments for predicting intern doctors' performance and suggest the need for more comprehensive and authentic assessment methods to enhance their predictive validity.","PeriodicalId":37737,"journal":{"name":"Korean journal of medical education","volume":"37 1","pages":"77-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11900832/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the hybridity and transformation of Korean medical students' biases, arguing that a nation's identity and culture are constantly in a state of ever-changing hybridity.Methods: This research used a qualitative document analysis. The study participants were 600 pre-clinical medical students at two medical colleges in Korea, who enrolled in anti-bias programs and subsequently submitted self-reflection essays. Data collection focused on biases related to race, ethnicity, nationality, and medical practices as doctors. Bhabha's cultural hybridity concepts guided the coding of the data in order to explore the hybridity and transformation of the students' biases.Results: The students presented cultural biases toward patients and doctors with ambivalence related to a person's high socioeconomic status and open-mindedness, as well as doctors' excellence and superiority as Korean authoritative figures. Since the students had ambivalent and complex biases toward patients and doctors, they felt unhomeliness as Korean doctors encountering international patients in Korean clinics. However, after discovering their contradictory assumptions, they transformed their unhomeliness into new hybrid identities. The students' biases were rarely based on race but instead were based on nationality, specifically national class by national income.Conclusion: Understanding the changing hybrid nature of identities and culture from a cultural hybridity perspective could help clarify medical students' complex and changing biases and improve anti-bias education. Korean medical students' hybridized positions suggest that anti-bias education goes beyond focusing on prestige or racism.","PeriodicalId":37737,"journal":{"name":"Korean journal of medical education","volume":"37 1","pages":"23-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11900837/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scenario objectives were for learners to perform CPR with family presence, communicate with the family, and understand and negotiate cultural needs. Following a pilot scenario with two inexperienced volunteer medical students as learners, the program was evaluated through anonymous surveys and informal focus group feedback.Results: Students noted that this simulation differed from previous experiences as compared with emphasizing family communication rather than patient diagnosis or treatment. Students valued experiencing the practical application of cultural competence concepts.

Educators' debriefing skills are essential to the success of learning. For debriefing skill training, we designed a simulation course with the standardized learner (SL) through video conference. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation process of the SL simulation course and evaluate its effectiveness on educators' self-confidence and debriefing skills.Methods: This simulation course involved six trainees and two trainers. After watching a 5-minute sample video of SBHE, each trainee conducted their role as a debriefer in this video and the trainer acted as a learner (SL) in this video. Following each simulation, individual feedback by the trainer was immediately implemented. To evaluate the course's effectiveness, trainees' self-confidence questionnaire was collected, and objective structured assessment of debriefing (OSAD) scores were evaluated.Results: After completing five SL simulation sessions in 2 weeks, the trainees' self-confidence level and OSAD scores improved significantly (estimate=0.114, standard error=0.020, p<0.001, and p=0.006).Conclusion: This debriefer training course using SL simulation via video conference could improve self-confidence and debriefing skills of trainees.
