 This study aimed to bridge the educational gap in clinical informatics (CI) at the residency level and stimulate interest in CI as a rewarding career path.

 Commercially available large language models such as Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) cannot be applied to real patient data for data protection reasons. At the same time, de-identification of clinical unstructured data is a tedious and time-consuming task when done manually. Since transformer models can efficiently process and analyze large amounts of text data, our study aims to explore the impact of a large training dataset on the performance of [...]

 Nephrotoxin exposure may worsen kidney injury and impair kidney recovery if continued in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).

 During and since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, communities have needed to cope with several conditions that cause similar upper respiratory symptoms but are managed differently. We describe community reactions to a self-management toolkit for patients with upper respiratory symptoms to inform mobile e-health app development. The toolkit is based on the "4R" (Right Information, Right Care, Right Patient, Right Time) care planning and management model.

 Dental informatics (DI) is an emerging discipline. Although the accreditation agency governing dental education programs asserts the importance of informatics as foundational knowledge, no well-defined DI courses currently exist within the standard predoctoral dental curriculum. There is a nationwide lack of DI academic programs. This training gap is due to a lack of qualified dental informaticians to impart knowledge on DI.

 While necessary and educationally beneficial, administrative tasks such as case and patient tracking may carry additional burden for surgical trainees. Automated systems targeting these tasks are scarce, leading to manual and inefficient workflows.

 Health professions trainees (trainees) are unique as they learn a chosen field while working within electronic health records (EHRs). Efforts to mitigate EHR burden have been described for the experienced health professional (HP), but less is understood for trainees. EHR or documentation burden (EHR burden) affects trainees, although not all trainees use EHRs, and use may differ for experienced HPs.

 There is a need to integrate informatics education into medical training programs given the rise in demand for health informaticians and the call on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the body of undergraduate medical education for implementation of informatics curricula.

 As teleconsultations continue to rise in popularity due to their convenience and accessibility, it is crucial to identify and address the challenges they present in order to improve the patient experience, enhance outcomes, and ensure the quality of care. To identify communication challenges that clinicians and patients experience during teleconsultation, a scoping review was conducted.

 This study aimed to evaluate critical care provider perspectives about diagnostic practices for rare and atypical infections and the potential for using artificial intelligence (AI) as a decision support system (DSS).
