Active learning strategies enhance medical education by fostering self-directed learning, communication, and problem-solving skills. The paper puzzle, a game-based learning approach, provides an engaging way to reinforce anatomical knowledge and promote collaboration. This study assessed its impact on student performance and perceptions in clinical anatomy, comparing it to PowerPoint-based imaging reviews and evaluating the role of Near Peer Teachers (NPTs).

Introduction: Mentorship is increasingly recognized as a foundational stone within Graduate Medical Education (GME), contributing to clinical competency, scholarly engagement, professional identity formation, and psychological well-being. Despite its growing recognition, mentorship in GME remains inconsistently structured, under-theorized, and variably evaluated. This conceptual and structural ambiguity hampers the ability to design, compare, and scale mentorship efforts meaningfully across settings.

Purpose: Near-Peer Training (NPT) is increasingly used to teach clinical and procedural skills during undergraduate medical education. The impact of NPT programs on clinical practice is usually measured through OSCE stations that assess the trained skills. Little is known about the impact of a single NPT session on students' performance in OSCEs.

Objectives: Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) is a required part of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) residency training, yet there remains a lack of standardized educational framework guiding its implementation across residency programs. While structured MSKUS curricula exist, variability in institutional resources limits generalizability. Moreover, there has been comparatively less focus on the advantages of incorporating longitudinal, simulation-based learning, which has been proven to enhance skill acquisition, clinical confidence, and patient safety.
