Using gamification for simulators

The aim of this study is to increase awareness and use of the haptics simulation lab at a research medical university using gamification. When the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry first purchased dental case simulators (Simodont), they purchased two and put them in a room disassociated with the preclinical lab resulting in very little use of the simulators. In August of 2024, eight more simulators were purchase and all ten were moved to the preclinical lab. Orientations to the simulators were in the form of eModules on Canvas and face-to-face hands-on training. Faculty members desiring to use them in their courses met with the Simodont administrator to edit cases that came with the simulators. Currently first and second year dental students are using the simulated cases in their preclinical courses with the third and fourth year students already in the clinic attending to

Healthcare disparities among Black patients with ovarian cancer in the United States

Ovarian cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed gynecologic cancer in the United States. Although it is the eleventh most common cancer among women, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death. Fortunately, survival rates for ovarian cancer patients have been improving over the past few decades due to advances in medical procedures and the availability of new cancer drugs. However, studies have shown that the improvement of clinical outcomes are unequal among patients of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. This study seeks to understand the factors associated with healthcare disparities in Black ovarian cancer patients and identify features of programs that have been successful in addressing these racial imbalances. The findings of this study will help the researcher develop future programs to address healthcare disparities in Black ovarian cancer patients.

Understanding Pediatric Perceptions and Confidence in Epinephrine Use: A Comparison of Auto-Injectors and Needle-Free Alternatives

The purpose of this study is to understand how kids and their caregivers feel about two ways to give epinephrine, a medicine used for serious allergic reactions. One way uses a needle (like an EpiPen), and the other is a new nose spray that doesn't use a needle (called Neffy). We want to find out which one kids and their families feel more comfortable using, and which one they are more likely to carry with them and use in an emergency. This information can help doctors recommend the best option to keep kids safe.
