This retrospective chart review of 300 breast cancer patients at Rwanda's Butaro Cancer Centre of Excellence reveals that the majority are diagnosed at a younger age with a high burden of modifiable risk factors and comorbidities, and nearly half present with late-stage disease, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced early-detection strategies in resource-limited settings.
Evaluative (Mis)alignment in Competency-Based Feedback: A Constructivist Grounded Theory-Informed Study in Family and Community Medicine Residency Programs
This constructivist grounded theory study of family medicine residency programs in Brazil reveals that evaluative misalignment between residents and preceptors stems from divergent reasoning rather than scoring discrepancies, leading to the development of the S-SKILLS-F framework to transform feedback into a negotiated, actionable process for professional growth.
