    Abstract A 62-year-old male on maintenance hemodialysis, who was bedbound after a cerebrovascular accident, developed progressive hypercalcemia during a prolonged hospital stay. The etiology of hypercalcemia was attributed to immobility after extensive workup including imaging for malignancy or granulomatous disease, parathyroid hormone levels, parathyroid hormone related peptide, and vitamin D levels were unyielding. Low calcium dialysate would transiently reduce serum calcium levels, but levels would rebound in the interdialytic period. In view of recalcitrant hypercalcemia presenting with crisis, denosumab was successfully used to lower serum calcium. We review the literature and propose a management algorithm for severe hypercalcemia in a patient on dialysis.

    Abstract Online large-group teaching (OLGT), employed to reach a large group of learners in separate physical locations, allows asynchronous learning and facilitates social distancing. While online large-groups can be a powerful and resource-lean means of health professions education, it has challenges and potential pitfalls that may affect the learning process and outcomes. Through a sociomateriality framework, this article describes strategies for effective online large-group teaching in health professions education in three key strands. Firstly, to optimize learning, OLGT sessions should match learning needs with appropriate OLGT platforms, incorporate strategies to sustain learner attention, and accommodate learners of different abilities. Secondly, to develop a learning culture, OLGT must not only focus on cognitive aspects of learning but also build a community of practice, nurture digital professionalism and professional identity. Thirdly, we discuss the avoidance of pitfalls such as cognitive overload of both tutors and learners, technical issues and security risks, mitigating inequities in access to online learning, and the use of program evaluation to plan for sustained improvements. We conclude with a case vignette that discusses the challenges of OLGT and the application of the above strategies in a teaching scenario.

    Abstract Medical students were temporarily removed from direct patient contact activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, shortening the duration of ward-based attachment programs. Web-based workshops were organized to equip final year medical students with necessary skills to start work in a general medicine setting. Topics included case-based scenarios reviewing patients with new complaints, medical documentation, and inter-professional communication. They were conducted using an online video conference platform and utilized polling platforms, small group discussions, and the "Chat" function to promote interactivity. Web-based learning enables delivery of useful contents without compromising interactivity and clinical applicability during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract Introduction: Singapore has had three medical schools since 2013. We undertook a cross-sectional quantitative national survey to determine the financial impact of medical education on medical students in Singapore.
    Methods: All 1,829 medical students in Singapore were invited to participate in this study. Information on demographics, financial aid utilisation and outside work was collected and analysed.
    Results: 1,241 (67.9%) of 1,829 students participated in the survey. While the overall proportion of students from households with monthly incomes < SGD 3,000 was only 21.2% compared to the national figure of 31.4%, 85.4% of medical students expected to graduate with debts > SGD 75,000. There were significant differences in per capita incomes among the schools, with 54.5%, 23.3% and 7.8% of Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS), NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) students, respectively, reporting a per capita income of < SGD 1,000 (p < 0.001). There were significant differences in financial support: 75.0%, 34.1% and 38.8% of Duke-NUS, NUS Medicine and LKCMedicine students, respectively, received financial aid (p < 0.001). The top reasons for not applying for aid included a troublesome application process (21.4%) and the perception that it would be too difficult to obtain (21.0%).
    Conclusion: Students in the three medical schools in Singapore differ in their financial needs and levels of financial support received. A national approach to funding medical education may be needed to ensure that financial burdens do not hamper the optimal training of doctors for Singapore's future.
