Context For nearly 40 years, outcome‐based models have dominated programme evaluation in health professions education. However, there is increasing recognition that these cannot address the complexities of context and studies employing alternative approaches are appearing literature. A similar paradigm shift occurred over 50 years ago broader discipline evaluation. Understanding development contemporary paradigms within this field provides important insights to support evolution professions....

Clomipramine, haloperidol, and placebo were compared with baseline in the treatment of autism, overall outcome, specific symptoms, side effects examined. It was hypothesized that clomipramine would be better tolerated than haloperidol prove superior on a measure stereotypy. Individuals DSM-IV diagnosis autistic disorder (mean age, 16.3 years; range, 10–36 years) randomly assigned, by using Latin square design, to following 7-week trials: placebo, daily dose, 128.4 mg; 100–150 mg), or 1.3...

Most of the interspecific crosses in Aedes scutellaris complex result unidirectional cytoplasmic incompatibility. The case incompatibility presented here involves polynesiensis and Ae. kesseli. While cross kesseli♀ ♂ is compatible, reciprocal not. By treating larval stages parental stock with heat or antibiotics tetracycline hydrochloride chloramphenicol, incompatible ♀ × kesseli made compatible. Both sexes hybrid progeny were fertile no breakdown occurred any subsequent generation tested up...

To explore how the Canadian Child Health Clinician Scientist Program (CCHCSP) works to achieve prearticulated and emergent outcomes.In 2009, after gaining ethical approval from Hospital for Sick Children, authors examined quantitative data (e.g., participation in curriculum elements) ensure sufficient exposure by trainees program outputs publications) measure achievement of CCHCSP goals. They identified outcomes through grouping analyzing qualitative generated interviews with graduates....

The complex challenge of evaluating the impact interprofessional education (IPE) on patient and community health outcomes is well documented. Recently, at Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study in United States, leaders professions met to help generate a direction future IPE evaluation research. Participants followed stages design thinking, process human-centred problem solving, reach consensus recommendations. group concluded that studies should focus measuring an intermediate step between...

A recent national assessment of emergency planning in Canada suggests that health care professionals are not properly prepared for disasters. In response to this gap, an interprofessional course disaster management was developed, implemented and evaluated Toronto, from 2007 2008. Undergraduate students five educational institutions nursing, medicine, paramedicine, police, media administration programs took eight-week online course. The highly interactive included video, a discussion forum,...

The objective of our study was to propose an innovative applied health undergraduate curriculum model that uses simulation and interprofessional education facilitate students' integration both technical "humanistic" core skills. incorporates assessment student readiness for clinical professional practice in a collaborative, team-based, patient-centred environment. Improving the care professionals is critical contributor ultimately improving patient outcomes. A review current models sciences...

<title>Abstract</title> Irritability is a transdiagnostic construct associated with diverse psychiatric disorders in youth. This study examined the association between food insecurity and irritability clinically community-recruited sample of children aged 8–16 (N = 183). Participants their parents completed structured interviews measures assessing irritability, security, socioeconomic status (SES). Child-reported was significantly greater whereas parent-reported not. Regression analyses...

A major goal of continuing medical education (CME) is to enhance the performance learner. In order accomplish this goal, careful consideration and expertise must be applied three primary ingredients CME planning: assessing learner needs, programme design outcome measurement. Traditional methods used address these components seldom result in initiatives that change performance, even presence sophisticated formats capable learners. part, may not because 'ready change'. Planners are aware...

The authors' objectives were to design, refine, validate and implement a behavior-anchored postburn pruritus scale for children aged 5 years or less. We engaged range of professionals involved in the care with burns. used Q-methodology interprofessional team exercises identify stratify itch behaviors into categories increasing severity, then iteratively refined these draft scale. quantitative qualitative techniques assess utility, feasibility, validity it accordingly. During implementation...

Purpose One of the major issues faced by academic health science centers (AHSCs) is need for mechanisms to foster integration research, clinical, and educational activities achieve vision evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) optimal client care. The paper aims discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This synthesizes literature on organizational learning collaboration, making, learning-based organizations derive insights concerning nature effective workplace in AHSCs. Findings An...

Introduction: Engaging health professionals in the processes of first building and then participating simulations has not yet been explored. This qualitative study explored experience a simulation as an educational intervention with experienced clinicians. Methods: Pediatric rehabilitation clinicians, along patient facilitator standardized patients, created subsequently participated live simulation. The content was culturally sensitive communication. We collected participants' perspectives...

<h3>Key Messages</h3> Although it is often assumed that religion has a negative influence on family planning (FP), virtually all faith traditions support the concept of healthy timing and spacing pregnancy. Given growing evidence importance religious leaders faith-based organizations (FBOs) in shaping policy reaching communities FP, play an important role advocating for FP increasing its uptake. FBOs are interested expanding access to service delivery, yet governments, donors,...

We previously reported that experienced clinicians find the process of collectively building and participating in simulations provide (1) a unique reflective opportunity; (2) venue to identify different perspectives through discussion action group; (3) safe environment for learning. No studies have assessed value collaborating with standardized patients (SPs) patient facilitators (PFs) process. In this work, we describe collaboration simulation key elements facilitate reflection.Three...

Objective: To prepare for an RCT by examining the effects of educational intervention on listening skills pediatric rehabilitation clinicians, piloting study procedures, and investigating participants’ learning experiences. Methods: Six experienced clinicians received intervention, consisting video simulations solution-focused coaching regarding personal goals. Self- observer-rated measures skill were completed qualitative information was gathered in interviews a member checking session....

Interprofessional education (IPE) is an important contributor to ensuring interprofessional collaboration and, ultimately, improving the quality of health care. However, there a gap in available resources on critical success factors for implementing intentional learning experiences. The Collaborative Organizational Map and Preparedness Assessment (IP-COMPASS) improvement framework that provides structured process help care organizations become better prepared offer IPE. Essentially, it...

In 2019, our interdisciplinary team of researchers, family members, and youth co-designed four simulation training videos accompanying facilitation resources to prepare youth, trainees, researchers build the knowledge skills engage in patient-oriented research (POR) authentically meaningfully. Videos covered challenges aspects process including (1) forming a project team; (2) identifying objectives priorities; (3) agreeing on results; (4) carrying out translation.The purpose study was...

Purpose: To describe the creation and validation of six simulations concerned with effective listening interpersonal communication in pediatric rehabilitation. Methods findings: The involved clinicians from various disciplines, were based on clinical scenarios related to client issues, reflected core aspects listening/communication. Each simulation had a key learning objective, thus focusing specific skills. article outlines process used turn written into digital video simulations, including...
