      Gjessing, Sofie; Kristensen, Jette Kolding; Risør, Torsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-09)
      People can express experiences, opinions, and perspectives in stories. In a story, the experiences can be relived and discovered independently of time and place. In medical education, it is a fundamental premise that time progresses, and it is within this temporal space that students learn, acquire competencies, and form identity. It is also within this space that much qualitative research is ...

    • The MeSH heading "Call Center" is due for an update: Why we recommend the more precise heading "Emergency Medical Communication Center" 

      Harring, Astrid Karina V.; Blinkenberg, Jesper; Brattebø, Guttorm; Hjortdahl, Magnus; Idland, Siri; Iversen, Emil; Leonardsen, Ann-Chatrin Linqvist; Zakariassen, Erik; Jørgensen, Trine Møgster (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-04)
      Call centers can be found in various industries. However as a Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) the term “Call centers” does not reflect the critical purpose of handling emergency calls. We recommend “emergency medical communication center(s)”, as this provides clarity and precision regarding the primary function and purpose of the center.
