The more forms of distress experienced the greater the risk for suicidal ideation and thoughts of dropping out of medical school.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Pre-training evaluation and feedback improve medical students' skills in basic life support.
Evaluation and feedback are two factors that could influence simulation-based medical education and the time when they were delivered contributes their different effects. ⋯ In undergraduate medical students without previous BLS training, pre-training evaluation and feedback improve their performance in followed BLS training.

Teaching communication and compassionate care skills: an innovative curriculum for pre-clerkship medical students.
Physicians require communications training to improve effective and compassionate care. Clinicians discuss challenging communication issues in existing hospital "Schwartz Rounds." ⋯ Integrating a pre-clerkship communications curriculum may help improve future physicians' interactions with patients and families. Implications of this curriculum for medical education are discussed.
