Under- and post-graduate training to manage the acutely unwell patient: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Junior doctors are often the first responders to acutely unwell patients and yet frequently report feeling under-prepared to do so. To understand whether this is consequential of how medical students and doctors are trained to manage acutely unwell patients, a scoping review was conducted using a systematic approach.

Methods

The review, informed by the Arksey and O'Malley and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, identified educational interventions targeting the management of acutely unwell adults. Seven major literature databases were searched for journal articles published in English from 2005 to 2022, in addition to the Association of Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) conference proceedings from 2014 to 2022.

Results

Seventy-three articles and abstracts were eligible
