The medical curriculum integrates modern science with opportunities for individual exploration and community engagement.
Women Medical Students' and Residents' Interest in Academic Medicine CareersKatherine Ellington
In the last four decades women students have achieved near parity within medical schools across the United States. Yet, there is a significant shortfall of women who teach medical students and/or lead medical institutions. Mentoring, early scholar and career advancement opportunities for women training in medicine are necessary to enable a full spectrum of diversity and inclusion in academic medicine for education, research and patient care. It is also evident that women need to identify role models and competent mentors in the early stages of their careers. Is this enough to climb the academic medicine leadership ladder? The Building the Next Generation of Academic Physicians (BNGAP) initiative consists of a group of academic medicine faculty, residents and students whose purpose is to increase diversity in the academic medicine workforce. Our research indicates that 62.4% of women medical students and 84.2% of women residents share an interest in academic medicine careers. How do we establish ground for their successful climb? Significant BNGAP results will be summarized with recommendations to inform diversity and inclusion efforts for the future of women exploring as well as those who have careers in academic medicine.
Quality of Life and Psychological Well Being among Elderly Living in Old Age ...ijtsrd
Background of study Ageing is a natural process and an inevitable one. Old age is a crucial phase where the physiological, psychological and socio cultural changes in elderly affect their living pattern and their health status too in terms of psychological well being and also affect their quality of life. Objective of the study Present study was conducted with objective to assess the quality of life and psychological well being among elderly living in old age homes and living with their families in selected areas of Uttarakhand. Material and Methods A quantitative research approach with descriptive comparative design was used to assess the QOL quality of life and PWB psychological well being among elderly living in old age homes and living with their families. The Population consisted of old people residing in selected old age homes and community area. The study was conducted at selected old age homes and community area of Uttarakhand. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the 164 subjects from the population i.e. 82 subjects from respective old age homes and 82 subjects from selected community area. Socio demographic Proforma, WHO QOL BREF scale and self developed Psychological well being scale was used to assess the QOL and PWB among elderly with the help of structured interview method. Result The result of the study shows that overall mean score of QOL for elderly living in old age homes and those living with their families was 68.47 and 97.43 respectively. Similarly overall mean score for PWB among elderly living in old age homes and those living with their families was 45.31and 66.86 respectively which showed that QOL and PWB was good among those elderly who were living with their families as compare to old age homes inmates. On comparison of overall mean of QOL it was found that mean score for QOL with S.D for elderly living in old age homes and living with families was 68.47±10.752 and 97.44±8.564 similarly on comparison of overall mean score of PWB it was found that score was 45.32±6.385 and 66.87±5.86 which was found to be statistically significant at p=0.05. Conclusion Hence the overall findings suggest that quality of life and psychological well being was good among elderly who were living with their families as compare to those who were living in old age homes.

ABSTRACT
This paper reports on a project exploring the ‘state of the art’ in teaching social science research methods to undergraduate medical students. Drawing on ongoing research involving reviewing the literature and consultation with the 32 UK medical schools, I will describe some of the emerging issues around the content, organisation, delivery and assessment of provision of teaching and learning and propose some early thoughts about opportunities and challenges in developing and supporting the academics and learners in this field. The session will be interactive including opportunities for participants to reflect on, to debate and discuss the extent to which these issues are germane to their practice and experience and my emerging prospectus for social scientists ‘working away from home’ in medical education and indeed in other disciplines.
Time to revisit the whole health professional education based on the changes in the technology economic and socio-political changes that are occurring.
From the Penn IUR and Penn GSE sponsored conference:
“Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs in Metropolitan America: The Policy, Practice and Research Issues"
May 25-26, 2011
Organized by Laura Perna, a professor in Penn GSE, and Susan Wachter, a professor in Penn’s Wharton School, “Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs” explores the most effective institutional and public-policy strategies to be sure high school and college students and adult learners have the knowledge and skills required for future employment.
“The conference addresses such critical questions as: How do we define success with regard to the role of education in preparing students for work?” Perna said. “How well are different educational providers preparing future workers? What is the role of public policy in improving connections between education and work?
“It seeks to improve our understanding of several fundamental dimensions of this issue through insights from federal, state and local policy leaders, college administrators and researchers.”
Guest speakers include Eduardo Ochoa, assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Education; former Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell; Lori Shorr, chief education officer to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter; Charles Kolb from the Committee for Economic Development in Washington, D.C.; Claudia Neuhauser from the University of Minnesota; Bethany Krom from the Mayo Clinic; and Harry Holzer from Georgetown University.
“Much recent attention focuses on the need to improve high school graduation and college degree completion. But, relatively less attention has focused on whether graduates and degree recipients have the skills and education required by employers,” Perna said.
The event is sponsored by the Penn’s Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Interdisciplinary Methods for Field-Based Research in Education, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute for Education Sciences in collaboration with Penn’s Institute for Urban Research.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
