Dr. Simon Forrest developed a national profile to support his promotion and progression criteria at Durham University by chairing the BeSST committee to develop a core sociology curriculum for medicine, serving as an HEA Sir Ron Cooke International Scholar to promote context-based learning about social and cultural aspects of medicine, and editing an HEA journal. He identifies opportunities like internal teaching excellence recognition, reviewing for the HEA, external examining and teaching, but also challenges like balancing the workload and sustaining momentum with departmental support and recognition.

How Many Emergency Medicine Rotations Are Students Completing?Zach Jarou
Background: The CORD Advising Students Committee in Emergency Medicine (ASC-EM) recommends EM-bound medical students complete two EM clerkship rotations. In recent years, the number of VSAS applications per applicant has increased, leading to increased demand for rotation slots.
Objective: Determine how many EM rotations medical students are completing during their fourth year. We hypothesized that medical students are scheduling more than the recommended two rotations, and that DO students are completing more rotations than MD students.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
MATATAG CURRICULUM: ASSESSING THE READINESS OF ELEM. PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS I...NelTorrente

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
Support of pedagogic practice cross a field/discipline/sectorMy story is one of commitment to particular forms of teaching and learning for intellectual, ideological and indeed emotional reasons (partnership and participation) and also to concept of the field as public and also generous (socisci) and within medicine, trying to talk to much more powerful discourse and paradigm which can benefit from rigour and epistemology of soc sci.Curriculum developmentBecause while we all work within our own curricula, many also mindful of and indeed in professionally oriented and accredited programmes, behoven to curriculum and/or outcomes prescribed elsewhere and colleagues need both support to find ways to build programmes that meet these outcomes and also to argue for, create provision which takes forward. Classic medicine example is that the outcomes for UG medicine around Soc Sci clearly not written by social scientist.Enhancement of student learning and experienceWhy be an academic if you have no intrinsicimpulse (perhaps sense compulsive sense of that) to share your knowledge and more importantly skills around generation and understanding of knowledge. To do that means engaging with learners and also deep reflective and other activity around one’s own practice. All had good and bad experiences and owed from perspective of values that believe that HE encompasses to make student learning positive, challenging and life shifting experiencePersonal developmentBecause we are not devliverers of curriculum but interested in growing as academics and people. Trying to take responsibility to offer service to field and colleagues is an act of personal development per se and much of what happens when on, for example editors a journal, is hugely enriching in terms of knowledge and skills.Special and particular contribution to the UniversityBecause TFs make a special contribution to this University. We can be at the centre of both practice and strategic/policy development of provision such that harvest research intensity into teaching and & learning and also make that make sense to future researchers. Bring ideas and innovation into University from across national profile; promote University as serious player in T&L.
BeSST = identify what field needs, build programme of work, (regional workshops and meetings; create a structure AGM etc. and get involved in it!) International scholarship – be creative and think about what you need to know next and where that would be, Offer to take things on… from lowish status reporting to peer-reviewed national journal and towards Impact factor and international editorial board) (in less than 2 years) Contemporaneous and moving forward)Leverage of fundingHEA small grantUWS grant
Internal excellence in T&LHEA and other reviewing opportunitiesCurrently review for around 14 journals with pedagogical and/or application focus, also review for HEA and other fundersExternal examining and teaching Lancaster and LSHTM and Keele and of course levered 1.5K to review for UWSWhat’s interesting and excitingJoint work at programme level = MiC @ bedtime podcasts with students and MedileaksAt a curriculum level = CP newsletterAt (inter)national level = core curriculum and indeed ANZAC BeSST network and CBL survey
WorkloadNo easy answers. Lots of work but then to demonstrate that worthy of promotion need to do more than required and also, perhaps recognise that TFs building the case for what that looks like Sustaining impetusRecognise that work means activity ebbs and flows (and of course that easiest maintained when it is part of and contributes to your everyday work) Departmental support and recognitionWhat are they getting? Took me a while to see that by making student experience the focus I could more easily create and galvanise support around activities of interest to me – so both Australian colleagues and me trying to address the same problem and hence our students experiencing same challenges - why wouldn’t you look for the synergy of working together and also thereby offer directly into dept international recognition and leanring…
Do not bracket of research and scholarship (its easy if your subject has an ‘educational’ element such as mine) but the generation of knowledge about teaching and learning is not substantively different to research – it requires rigour, asking ‘good’ questions; thinking additively about project-based exploration of ideas and also, for example, very applied research (techniques and knowledge) such as evaluation.Learners as partners; community context (peer-led; health-focus; socio-cultural influences on health (gender, sex and sexualities)… no step from peer ed to participative styles of learning and also around a health issue. Once involve gender and sexualities and emotions bound to be asking interesting questions about both what teach and how and also what these ‘res’ are. Demonstrable impactShow that adds value to student experience and also ‘hard’ markers such as grant income, invitations and so levered findingInternational profileFind why and how this matters internationally, build links, do work….
