A scoping review of 11 studies from 2015 to 2025, primarily from China, Iran, and the USA, synthesizing educational strategies for enhancing medical students' competency in laboratory medicine. The review was conducted by Yonggang Yang following the Arksey and O'Malley framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. It maps strategies into three themes: structured integration, technology-enhanced simulation, and collaborative workplace engagement.
Use Cases
- Benchmarking educational interventions based on the three synthesized strategy themes.
- Identifying research gaps in laboratory medicine education based on the review's findings on limited coverage of test selection and critical value management.
- Designing competency-based curricula using the review's analysis of how strategy effectiveness is influenced by curricular stage and institutional resources.
Strengths
- Systematic methodology following established scoping review frameworks (Arksey and O'Malley, PRISMA-ScR).
- Identifies and synthesizes 11 relevant studies from multiple databases (PubMed, WOS, CNKI) published between 2015 and 2025.
- Clear synthesis of findings into three distinct educational strategy themes.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset is very small (19.0 KB), indicating limited scope and likely containing only summary or extracted review data.
