Considering the importance of diagnosing and prescribing the right medicine by physicians, it is important that due to the shortness of the training period, this is not possible. Clinical pharmacology is increasing the awareness of medical students in managing the use of drugs.

In the year 2021, 34 interns and stagers entered the study at the Razi Specialized-Subspecialized Hospital of Birjand University of Medical Sciences. During the one-month cardiac course, the students visited the patients in the cardiac training clinic one day a week with the presence of a cardiologist and a clinical pharmacologist. There was a discussion about how to prescribe drugs, their side effects, and drug interactions. To evaluate the course, a test before and after the course was conducted to check their learning level. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-test.

Thirty-four students (22(65%) stagers, 12(34%) interns, 14(41%) women, 20(59%) men) were included in the study. The results showed that the scores of the students increased after the course (before the course 6±1 and after the course 11±2) and this increase was significant (p<0.001). Besides, the increase in the group of stagers (12±1) was significant (p<0.001), while it was not significant (p = 0.092) in the group of interns (8±1); that is to say, in the group of interns there is a difference in the score before and after the course was not observed, while this difference was significant in the group of stagers.

Integrated educational methods with the presence of clinical expert and clinical pharmacist can play an effective role in improving drug therapy management among medical students and it is recommended to do this method in different groups.

The Anesthesia preoperative clinic has a substantial role in preparing the patients for almost all
surgical procedures. Considering the significant role of general practitioners (GPs) in the medical management of patients scheduled for surgeries, we interrogated the interns’ level of awareness and knowledge about the anesthesia preoperative clinic and its functions.

This cross-sectional study was performed based on a self-made questionnaire, which evaluated the attitude and knowledge of 100 interns of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran. The results were analyzed using SPSS-18 software. The significance was considered as p<0.05.

The mean age of participants was 25.6±1.1 years, of which 60(60%) were female. The mean score of the interns’ awareness about preoperative clinic was 7.4±1.8 of 11. By increasing the age and the duration of internship, their level of knowledge and attitude had not changed. There was no relationship between the level of attitude and awareness of the interns in terms of age, sex, internship months, and history of surgery in themselves or their relatives, and passing anesthesia course. (P = 0.929) There is a positive attitude about the role of anesthesia clinic, though , there is not a detailed developed educational program.

It seems that we should revise our educational policies to improve knowledge and responsibility of our interns in order to prepare them for better patient management.

This study aimed to design a suitable questionnaire to assess the knowledge and attitude of medical interns about doping regulation, prohibited medications in sports, and their complications and to evaluate its validity and reliability.

This descriptive study was performed on 60 randomly selected Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences medical interns who completed the prepared questionnaire. The content validity method was used to confirm the questionnaire’s validity. The points of view of five sports medicine consultants who were faculty members of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences were applied to develop the questionnaire. Finally, the questionnaire with 16 questions was designed. To determine its reliability using Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest calculations, based on the existence of internal agreement and compatibility or internal validity between the items in the questionnaire, the researcher asked the same participants to complete the questionnaire again two weeks later.

For this questionnaire, Cronbach’s alpha of 0.79 was calculated in the interns’ total score of knowledge and attitude about doping, and the correlation coefficient of the answers between the two tests was higher than 0.9.

For this questionnaire, Cronbach’s alpha of 0.79 was calculated in the interns’ total score of knowledge and attitude about doping, and the correlation coefficient of the answers between the two tests was higher than 0.9.

Moral intelligence has a direct effect on the professional performance of individuals, desirable health services and reduction of medical costs. This study was aimed to evaluate the moral intelligence of trainees and medical interns of Kashan University of medical sciences in 2021.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed in 2021 on clinical students. Sampling was done by stratified random sampling among medical trainees and interns. A total of 209 people participated in the study. The data collection tool was Lenick and Kiel Moral Intelligence Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.

The results of this study showed that the mean score of students' moral intelligence was 71.75. 9.15 (good). In examining the dimensions of moral intelligence, honesty with a score of 73.15±10.44 has the highest score and forgiveness with a score of 10.92±68.06 has the lowest score. The difference in the mean score of moral intelligence in the dimension of responsibility was significant (P=0.03). Moral intelligence and all its dimensions except empathy were lower in dormitory students than in students living in a private home with family.

Considering the level of moral intelligence score of medical students in clinical courses, there is a need to revise the ethical guidelines for the development of moral intelligence.

By conducting a proper evaluation, it is possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of clinical education, and by strengthening the positive points and eliminating the shortcomings, steps can be taken in the direction of reforming the educational system. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the three-circle model of Dundee University in determining the essential duties of clinical students of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences.

The vital role of CT scan of brain has been demonstrated not only in traumatic intracranial emergencies but also in non-traumatic intracranial emergencies. Interpretation and reading the results of CT scan of Brain for the physicians working in emergency wards has become a necessity. Since in all the medical centers، the access to a radiologist is not possible، at all hours in the present study، we decided to evaluate the skill of both physicians and interns emergency wards in interpreting the CT Scan of brain in the university hospitals of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences. This cross-sectional study was performed on 64 interns and general practitioners who were working in the Emergency wards of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences hospitals who voluntierd to participate in the study. Ten standard brains CT scans were given to the participants for interpretation. Then، the rate of correct answers and the level of self-confidence of the responses were statically analyzed (chi-square and Fisher’s exact test). The results showed the mean scores among the respondents who had passed the neurology course and respondents who had not yet passed the course were significantly different and the same difference was seen among physicians in term of their working experience. Also، confidence level was different between physicians and interns. On the other hand، this parameter was significantly different among the interns who had passed the neurology course and the interns who had not yet passed the course. Male confidence level scores were more than the female score among intern. The results showed، experience is the most important factor that could increase the confidence level score، so education programs should be conducted to increase the ability of both interns and physicians working in the emergency wards in reading and interpreting CT scan images.
