Article Abstract
Nationally, midwifery educators are often perplexed when graduates from their programs are not successful on the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB) certification examination. Often, these students are excellent clinically and have a deep foundational knowledge. During examination reviews with professors, they may be able to explain a concept well orally but struggle to pick the correct answer. Emerging cognitive science can be applied to test-taking heuristics to better understand how students make choices on multiple-choice tests. Helping students understand and develop metacognition and using a trauma-informed pedagogy will give educators a new lens for teaching test-taking strategies. By applying a new method, midwifery educators can dispel common test-taking myths, help their students understand their cognitive bias when taking tests, and ultimately build students' confidence when approaching high-stakes tests. By changing their approach to test-taking advice, educators can help more students pass the certification on the first attempt and increase the speed at which new graduates are ready to enter the workforce.

Comparative performance of neurosurgery-specific, peer-reviewed versus general AI chatbots in bilingual board examinations: evaluating accuracy, consistency, and error minimization strategies.

Background: Recent studies suggest that large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are useful tools for medical students or residents when preparing for examinations. These studies, especially those conducted with multiple-choice questions, emphasize that the level of knowledge and response consistency of the LLMs are generally acceptable; however, further optimization is needed in areas such as case discussion, interpretation, and language proficiency. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of six distinct LLMs for Turkish and English neurosurgery multiple-choice questions and assess their accuracy and consistency in a specialized medical context.

Objectives: No multicenter study has examined the relationship between subspecialty in-training examination (SITE) scores and certification exam (CE) outcomes in pediatric subspecialties. This study addresses this gap by investigating whether performance on the Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine (NPM) SITE predicts first-attempt results on the NPM CE administered by the American Board of Pediatrics.
Study Design: A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted across NPM fellowship programs in the United States.

Introduction: Surgical training is expensive. The aim of this study was to quantify the costs surgical trainees are expected to pay related to the ten surgical specialties in a single Statutory Education Body (SEB).
Methods: Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP) and Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) certification requirements including mandatory and highly recommended courses, related to specialty, along with professional registration and examination fees were estimated.

Pass rates for the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB) national certification examination (NCE) are declining. Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education-accredited midwifery education programs are challenged to meet institutional pass rate goals and support graduates seeking to enter the midwifery workforce. There are financial, emotional, and social consequences for graduates who do not pass the AMCB NCE that undermine their success.

Introduction: Handling techniques are known to influence dog stress in veterinary settings; however, little is known about the current handling techniques applied to dogs during routine veterinary care or risk factors associated with their use. This cross-sectional survey aimed to assess common handling techniques used on calm, fearful, and aggressive dogs by veterinary professionals in Canada and the United States and identify risk factors for minimal and full-body restraint.
Methods: A convenience sample of veterinary professionals completed an online questionnaire.
