    Abstract Background: Learners benefit more from narrative feedback than numerical scores on formative assessments, yet they often report that feedback is lacking in quality and quantity. Changes to the formatting of assessment forms is a practical intervention with limited literature regarding its impact on feedback.
    Objective: This study explores the effect of a formatting change (ie, relocating the comment section from the bottom of a form to the top) on residents' oral presentation assessment forms and if this affects the quality of narrative feedback.
    Methods: We used a feedback scoring system based on the theory of deliberate practice to evaluate the quality of written feedback provided to psychiatry residents on assessment forms from January to December 2017 before and after a form design change. Word count and presence of narrative comments were also assessed.
    Results: Ninety-three assessment forms with the comment section at bottom and 133 forms with the comment section at the top were evaluated. When the comment section was placed at the top of the evaluation form, there were significantly more comment sections with any number of words than left blank (
    Conclusions: More prominent placement of the feedback section on assessment forms increased the number of sections filled as well as the specificity related to the task component.

    Abstract The contexts and methods for communicating in healthcare and health professions education (HPE) profoundly affect how we understand information, relate to others, and construct our identities. Multimodal analysis provides a method for exploring how we communicate using multiple modes-e.g., language, gestures, images-in concert with each other and within specific contexts. In this paper, we demonstrate how multimodal analysis helps us investigate the ways our communication practices shape healthcare and HPE. We provide an overview of the theoretical underpinnings, traditions, and methodologies of multimodal analysis. Then, we illustrate how to design and conduct a study using one particular approach to multimodal analysis, multimodal (inter)action analysis, using examples from a study focused on clinical reasoning and patient documentation. Finally, we suggest how multimodal analysis can be used to address a variety of HPE topics and contexts, highlighting the unique contributions multimodal analysis can offer to our field.

    Abstract Background: The Canadian province of Nova Scotia recently became the first jurisdiction in North America to pass deemed consent organ donation legislation. The announcement of this legislation generated substantial online discussion, which we analyzed to provide insights on public perception.
    Methods: We performed directed content analysis on 2663 user-generated comments appearing on two widely-shared Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) articles published online in April 2019. We determined levels of support and opposition in comments and described the specific rhetoric used for doing so. We also performed one-way ANOVA and Pearson chi-square tests to determine how the comments were being received and engaged by other users.
    Results: A range of commentary was present in both support and opposition to the changes in legislation. There were more negative than positive comments, and negative commentary generated more replies. Positive comments were received more positively by other users while negative comments were received more negatively. The total sum of negative comments was greatly influenced by a small number of very active participants. Negative commentary focused more on broad concepts and principles related to government, power, and individual rights rather than specific issues in the Nova Scotian context. Substantial issues of trust in the government and healthcare system were evident.
    Conclusions: There were strong positive and negative sentiments expressed in the comments, but the total sum of negativity in the comments was significantly influenced by a small number of commentators. Analysis on the presumed consent concerns can be helpful to inform public outreach efforts.

    Abstract Independent learning refers to opportunities in which responsibility for learning shifts to learners. Providing health professions learners with independent learning opportunities can be challenging because of the often highly structured curricula of health professions education. Structured independent learning assignments that give learners the opportunity to begin developing the skills and strategies to take on self-directed opportunities in the future may lend themselves to these contexts. However, in health professions education contexts, few guidelines exist for designing effective assignments that foster independence in learning. These twelve tips provide recommendations for how to improve structured independent learning assignments for health professions learners and help them develop the skills and experience required for more self-directed opportunities and for lifelong learning.

    Abstract Background: Implementing competency-based medical education (CBME) in post-graduate medical education (PGME) is a complex process that requires multiple systemic changes in a complex system that is simultaneously engaged in multiple initiatives. These initiatives often compete for attention during the implementation of CBME and produce unintended and unanticipated consequences. Understanding the impact of this context is necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of CBME. The purpose of the study was to identify factors, such as contexts and processes, that contribute to the implementation of CBME.
    Methods: We conducted a realist evaluation using data collected from 15 programs through focus groups with residents (2 groups, n = 16) and faculty (one group, n = 8), and semi-structured interviews with program directors (n = 18), and program administrators (n = 12) from 2018 to 2021. Data were analyzed using a template analysis based on a coding framework that was developed from a sample of transcripts, the context-mechanism-outcomes framework for realist evaluations, and the core components of CBME.
    Results: The findings demonstrate that simultaneous initiatives in the academic health sciences system creates a key context for CBME implementation - rivalries for attention - and specifically, the introduction of curricular management systems (CMS) concurrent to, but separate from, the implementation of CBME. This context influenced participants' participation, communication, and adaptation during CBME implementation, which led to change fatigue and unmet expectations for the collection and use of assessment data.
    Conclusions: Rival initiatives, such as the concurrent implementation of a new CMS, can have an impact on how programs implement CBME and greatly affect the outcomes of CBME. Mitigating the effects of rivals for attention with flexibility, clear communication, and training can facilitate effective implementation of CBME.

    Abstract Objective: The spread of misinformation has accompanied the coronavirus pandemic, including topics such as immune boosting to prevent COVID-19. This study explores how immune boosting is portrayed on the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Design: Content analysis.
    Methods: We compiled a dataset of 227 webpages from Google searches in Canada and the USA using the phrase 'boost immunity' AND 'coronavirus' on 1 April 2020. We coded webpages for typology and portrayal of immune boosting and supplements. We recorded mentions of microbiome, whether the webpage was selling or advertising an immune boosting product or service, and suggested strategies for boosting immunity.
    Results: No significant differences were found between webpages that appeared in the searches in Canada and the USA. The most common types of webpages were from news (40.5%) and commercial (24.7%) websites. The concept of immune boosting was portrayed as beneficial for avoiding COVID-19 in 85.5% of webpages and supplements were portrayed as beneficial in 40% of the webpages, but commercial sites were more likely to have these portrayals. The top immune boosting strategies were vitamin C (34.8%), diet (34.4%), sleep (34.4%), exercise (30.8%) and zinc (26.9%). Less than 10% of the webpages provide any critique of the concept of immune boosting.
    Conclusions: Pairing evidence-based advice for maintaining one's health (eg, healthy diet, exercise, sleep) with the phrase immune boosting and strategies lacking in evidence may inadvertently help to legitimise the concept, making it a powerful marketing tool. Results demonstrate how the spread of misinformation is complex and often more subtle than blatant fraudulent claims.
