    Abstract Formative assessment is an essential component of surgical training. However, it is not usually a mandatory component in postgraduate curricula. The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate how formative assessments are integrated into postgraduate urology training in programs across the globe. This study consisted of a systemic review to see how formative assessments are being implemented in various urology programs globally. A total of 427 articles were identified for the literature review. Of these, only 10 were included and critically appraised. These studies explored various techniques for exploration of formative assessments in urology training programs, which included established tools, such as portfolio reviews, and direct observations of procedure skills (DOPS); novel tools, including the Dutch urology practical skills (D-UPS) program and Ottawa surgical competency operating room evaluation (O-SCORE); and curricular models. Nine of the 10 articles favored their potential utility in formative assessments. Current literature involving formative assessments in postgraduate urology programs is scarce, and available resources have a high heterogeneity between them. More structured formative assessments need to be incorporated into surgical training programs, and affiliated training institutions should be encouraged to integrate them into their curricula.

    Abstract This study focuses on the current applications, potential, and challenges to Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration in vascular surgery with specific emphasis on its relevance in Pakistan. Despite the benefits of AI in vascular surgery, there is a substantial gap in its adoption in Pakistan compared to global standards. In our context with limited resources and a scarcity of vascular surgeons, AI can serve as a promising solution. It can enhance healthcare accessibility, improve diagnostic accuracy, and alleviate the workload on vascular surgeons. However, hurdles including the absence of a comprehensive vascular surgery database, a shortage of AI experts, and potential algorithmic biases pose significant challenges to AI implementation. Despite these obstacles, the study underscores the imperative for continued research, collaborative efforts, and investments to unlock the full potential of AI and elevate vascular healthcare standards in Pakistan.

    Abstract Objectives: Simulation is used across surgical specialties for skill enhancement. The choice and assessment method of a simulator varies across literature. In the age of endovascular approach, trainees have limited exposure to open lower limb bypass procedures which needs attention. This review aims to assess the utility of simulation training in lower limb bypass surgery using Kirkpatrick's model.
    Methods: Using PRISMA statement, we included all the studies done on simulators in lower limb bypass surgical procedures for this systematic review. The primary outcome was to assess the effectiveness of different types of simulation used for lower limb bypass surgery using the Kirkpatrick's model for training evaluation.
    Results: An initial search identified 295 articles out of which 7 articles were found to be eligible for this systematic review. A variety of simulators were used including cadavers and synthetic models. Most studies (
    Conclusion: Most of the existing studies are at level 2 of Kirkpatrick's model which reflects learning changes in trainees after simulation. Feedback mechanism needs to be evolved where the improvement after simulation training can be gauged by its replication in clinical practice and improved patient care practices corresponding to the highest level of Kirkpatrick's model.

    Abstract Adequately created well functional haemodialysis access is an important part for the physical and mental wellbeing of renal failure patients. Every effort should be made to enhance the patency of these accesses. Recently, stem cell treatment modalities have opened new avenues in the better patency of arteriovenous fistula. Use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) to prevent venous neointimal hyperplasia have been studied with good success rates. Adopting such costly treatment modalities in low middle income class country like Pakistan is associated with significant challenges. This short report discusses the current role of stem cells in arteriovenous access and how this exciting modality can be utilized in our country.

    Abstract Formative assessments are an essential yet often overlooked aspect of postgraduate surgical training. This report explores the strategies by which formative assessments are integrated into postgraduate surgical training in Pakistan (using urology as an example), by comparing the regional recommendations and infrastructures offered by local governing bodies to that of a more structured system, as offered by the General Medical Council (GMC). The College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP) serves as the de facto local accrediting body for postgraduate surgical training and makes a conscious effort in maintaining the standard of training throughout the country. However, although formative assessment activities are encouraged in its roster, they are rarely monitored as strictly as summative outcomes. This is a far cry from how the structured format is exemplified by the GMC's various guidelines and protocols. It must be emphasized that in order to improve the overall quality of training, measures need to be made to improve the ways in which feedback and formative activities are implemented and monitored.

    Abstract Within the last decade, social media has progressed from a form of mere entertainment to a medium for solution of complex issues in our daily lives. During the last few years, social media has gained value in medical education and the diversity in the use of digital media has given new dimensions to medical education while facing the Covid pandemic. Digital media helps in creating virtual communities which not only bring more harmony between teachers and students but has also shown to have reduced anxiety and stress among students. Common social media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp have recently gained popularity as platforms which are being actively used in various ways to enhance learning. Social media in medical education is also utilised to enhance communication skills, professionalism and better patient care, but this should be addressed with caution as violation of patient's privacy and confidentiality remains a threat.

    Abstract Healthcare has always been a complex system phenomenon which needs accountability from the leading clinical and management roles. Adequate and competent leadership is recognized as a driving point for a successful healthcare division. Medical professionals taking charge for quality improvement are well placed yet the style to deliver their leadership qualities bears a massive significance. While exceptional clinical prowess is of tremendous importance, harmonious teamwork, inefficiency reduction and patient communication and safety lead to noteworthy health management outcomes. Explores not explains the importance of leadership, qualities and styles of a leader, various leadership theories, the impact of leadership in medical education and the current issues related to medical leadership.

    Abstract Background: Online oral assessments have been poorly studied in medical education. This study aims to assess the perception of the online oral assessment strategy for formative purposes.
    Objective: To explore the perception of trainees and examiners on their experience of online oral assessment.
    Methods: Online oral assessments were conducted using the Zoom platform (Zoom Video Communications, Inc., San Jose, California, United States) over a period of six days. Each candidate was examined by two examiners and formative feedback was provided at the same time. At the end of the course, participants were asked to fill out an online questionnaire regarding their perception of this online platform for oral assessment.  Results: A total of 192 participants were included in this study as examiners (n=48), candidates (n=53), and observers (n=91). The overall impression of the organization and accessibility of the model was found favorable with a generally lower degree of perceived anxiety in this format. Major limitations faced by participants included technical difficulties (n=84), linguistic issues (n=37), and failure to observe body language (n=38). Using the Joughin matrix, this model of online oral assessment was found as a fair and valid assessment tool with relatively low reliability.
    Conclusions: The online oral assessment model has been found to be a reliable and valid method of formative assessment. Further work could be done on this model to assess its potential for summative purposes.
