Arenberg, Julie G., Ray H. Hull, and Lisa Hunter. "Postgraduate Specialization Fellowship Training for Audiologists: Survey Results From Educators, Supervisors, and Students." American Journal of Audiology 29, no. 2 (June 8, 2020): 290–99. http://dx.doi.org/10.1044/2019_aja-19-00059.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose From the Audiology Education Summit held in 2017, several working groups were formed to explore ideas about improving the quality and consistency in graduate education in audiology and externship training. The results are described here from one of the working groups formed to examine postgraduate specialization fellowships. Method Over the course of a year, the committee designed and implemented two surveys: one directed toward faculty and one toward students. The rationale for the survey and the results are presented. Comparisons between faculty and student responses are made for similar questions. Results Overall, the results demonstrate that the majority of both students and faculty believe that postgraduation specialization fellowships are needed for either 1 year or a flexible length. There was a consensus of opinion that the fellowship should be paid, as these would be designed for licensed audiologists. Most believed that the fellowships should be “governed by a professional organization (e.g., American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, American Academy of Audiology, American Doctors of Audiology, etc.),” or less so, a “separate body for this specific purpose.” Potential topics for specialization identified were the following: tinnitus, vestibular, cochlear implants, pediatrics, and intraoperative monitoring. The highest priority attributes for a specialization site were “abundant access to patient populations,” “staff of clinical experts,” and “active research.” The weight put toward these attributes differed between faculty and students with faculty prioritizing “university/academic centers,” and “access to academic coursework in the fellowship area.” The faculty rated “caseload diversity,” “minimum hours,” “research,” and “academic affiliation” as requirements for a fellowship site, with less weight for “coursework” and “other.” Finally, the students valued “improved personal ability to provide exceptional patient care,” “the potential for increased job opportunities,” and the “potential for a higher salary” as benefits most important to them, with lower ratings for “recognition as a subject matter expert” or “potential pathway to Ph.D. program.” Conclusions As a result of the survey, further exploration of a postgraduate specialization fellowship is warranted, especially to determine funding opportunities to offset cost for the sites and to ensure that fellows are paid adequately.

Parliamentary Fellowships give PhD students the opportunity to spend 3 months working in Parliament, providing scientific information to policy-makers. Whereas most Fellows work with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST), researching and writing a briefing on a science topic, I had the opportunity to work with the Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills (IUSS) Select Committee. The Committee is responsible for scrutinizing science policy across Government. My experience has given me an insight into how science policy is formed, and how scientists can inform the policy-making process.

Funding bodies and their fellowship programmes became a cornerstone of the scientific world in the twentieth century, not only providing scholars with the means to conduct their research in practice, but also decisively influencing the perception of their scientific persona as an expression of their expertise. Although women were increasingly entering the scientific realm at the time, few succeeded in obtaining such fellowships. In this article, I shall take a closer look at the fellowship programme of the International Federation of University Women during the interwar period, which was specifically designed to enable women to continue their research abroad. By focussing in particular on the selection process, as evidenced by the minutes of committee meetings and the fellows’ files, I shall explore the implicit norms and expectations to which candidates were subject in order to reconstruct the ideal type of woman scientist. The fellowship programme was meant to function as a meritocratic and excellence-oriented system, in which personal and non-scientific characteristics did not serve as criteria in the allocation of funding. Deliberately understating aspects of gender and developing a strictly meritocratic discourse, the Federation promoted a “disembodied" type of scientific persona as a strategy aimed at overcoming a long-standing bias against the alleged amateurism of women scientists. Whereas other funding bodies such as the Rockefeller Foundation contributed to the shape of a masculine persona, the IFUW sought to promote a universal model, in which women could be recognised as legitimate scientists.

Full textAbstract:
Context.— Pathology residents and fellows tailor their training and job search strategies to an actively evolving specialty in the setting of scientific and technical advances and simultaneous changes in health care economics. Objective.— To assess the experience and outcome of the job search process of pathologists searching for their first non-fellowship position. Design.— The College of American Pathologists (CAP) Graduate Medical Education Committee has during the past 5 years sent an annual job search survey each June to CAP junior members and fellows in practice 3 years or less who have actively searched for a non-fellowship position. Results.— Job market indicators including job interviews, job offers, positions accepted, and job satisfaction have remained stable during the 5 years of the survey. Most survey respondents who had applied for at least 1 position had accepted a position at the time of the survey, and most applicants who had accepted a position were satisfied or very satisfied. However, most attested that finding a non-fellowship position was difficult. Despite a perceived push toward subspecialization in surgical pathology, the reported number of fellowships completed was stable. Respondent demographics were not associated with job search success with 1 significant exception: international medical school graduate respondents reported greater perceived difficulty in finding a position, and indeed, fewer reported having accepted a position. Conclusions.— Pathology residents and fellows seeking their first position have faced a relatively stable job market during the last 5 years, with most accepting positions with which they were satisfied.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryMilestones refer to points along a continuum of a competency from novice to expert. Resident and fellow assessment and program evaluation processes adopted by the ACGME include the mandate that programs report the educational progress of residents and fellows twice annually utilizing Milestones developed by a specialty specific ACGME working group of experts. Milestones in clinical training programs are largely unmapped to specific assessment tools. Residents and fellows are mainly assessed using locally derived assessment instruments. These assessments are then reviewed by the Clinical Competency Committee which assigns and reports trainee ratings using the specialty specific reporting Milestones.The challenge and opportunity facing the nascent specialty of Clinical Informatics is how to optimally utilize this framework across a growing number of accredited fellowships. The authors review how a mapped milestone framework, in which each required sub-competency is mapped to a single milestone assessment grid, can enable the use of milestones for multiple uses including individualized learning plans, fellow assessments, and program evaluation. Furthermore, such a mapped strategy will foster the ability to compare fellow progress within and between Clinical Informatics Fellowships in a structured and reliable fashion. Clinical Informatics currently has far less variability across programs and thus could easily utilize a more tightly defined set of milestones with a clear mapping to sub-competencies. This approach would enable greater standardization of assessment instruments and processes across programs while allowing for variability in how those sub-competencies are taught.A mapped strategy for Milestones offers significant advantages for Clinical Informatics programs.

Context.— Gender-based barriers to equal salary, career advancement, and leadership still exist in medicine. Herein we provide the first report of data comparing the experiences of men and women seeking their first nonfellowship position in pathology. Objective.— To identify gender trends regarding pathologists taking their first job after training and the relationship to various demographic factors, job search satisfaction, and outcome. Design.— Aggregate data from the College of American Pathologists Graduate Medical Education Committee Job Market surveys (2015–2018) were analyzed across multiple domains including residency focus, number and subspecialty of fellowships completed, and extent to which expectations were met in regard to work duties, geographic preference, benefits, and salary. These data were examined in the context of assessing gender-based differences. Results.— Comparable results were identified in all measured outcomes according to gender. There were no differences between gender and medical school type, relocation, residency training focus, number of fellowships completed, overall satisfaction with position accepted, salary, or extent to which the position met expectations. Similarly, there were also no discrepancies between gender and the geographic region in which positions were accepted, practice setting, practice subspecialty, partnership track, length of job search, or difficulty finding a position. Conclusions.— Analysis from 4 years of job market survey data shows equivalent results between men and women looking for their first nonfellowship position in pathology. There were no significant differences with regard to difficulty finding a position, overall satisfaction with the position accepted, salary, benefits, or access to partnership track.

Full textAbstract:
In the process of scientific research, it was found that the following bodies of student self-government were active during the studied period: Stage I (1804–1863) – student economic organizations, scientific societies, society of lovers of domestic literature, Bible society, literary circles, public intellectual circles, Slavophile circles, student theater, Kharkiv-Kyiv secret society, social court (court of honor), student libraries and reading rooms, private libraries, Lithuanian Corporation of Kyiv University, mutual aid funds, communes; Stage ІІ (1863–1884) – mutual aid societies, compatriots, student canteens, mutual aid funds, educational circles and public educational organizations, self-education circles, libraries, self-education circles; Stage ІІІ (1884–1900) – fellowships, library associations, cash registers and mutual aid societies, scientific circles, student canteens, Union Councils, Kharkiv Union Council of United Organizations and Fellowships, Ukrainian Student Community, Union Council of United Fellowships and Organizations, and the Executive Committee of the Imperial Novorossiysk University; Stage IV (1900–1917) – elders, student military wives, canteens, professional unions, cash registers and mutual aid societies, student shops, scholarship commissions, social courts, fellows, scientific circles, student senate, Council of Student Deputies of Kharkiv Imperial University.
The principles of student self-government (democracy, legality, openness, equality, accountability, responsibility, etc.) are highlighted; methods (communication, introspection, conversation, discussion, the example of an older person, self-control, etc.); forms (associations, communes, communities, mutual aid funds, circles, library associations, partnership courts, etc.); types (general meetings, congresses, gatherings, gatherings, classes, meetings, etc.).
Students (the “eternal students” certainly played a special role in it) by combining the traditions and customs of their educational institution, created rules of behavior in the student environment, which were strictly followed, appealed to these rules at student courts of honor. These rules were called “codes of honor”. They were never rigidly fixed and were mostly fixed conventionally. They included a list of the so-called “natural rights of a student”. They are: the right to be called a student and wear a student uniform (the main feature of corporate style); the right to inviolability and impunity; recognition of guilt and punishment for it belonged to the competence of the court of honor only (“presumption of innocence”); the right to board; the right to corporate assistance; the right to create student organizations.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to describe the causes, nature, extent and effect of the influence of the American Library Association (ALA) on the development of modern Chinese librarianship from 1924 to 1949. This study was based primarily on documents located in the ALA archives, which houses the documents of the International Relations Committee of ALA. It was found that library development changed in China during the period by borrowing from American librarianship as conveyed by the ALA, largely as a consequence of the following: American library advisors or educators, such as Arthur E. Bostwick, Charles H. Brown and Charles B. Shaw, conducting surveys of libraries in China; an American library and/or a library school in China; projects for the encouragement of public libraries; fellowships granted to Chinese librarians for study in the USA; the establishment and operation of the CLA; and the Book Program to strengthen library collections during the time of the China‐Japan War.

Full textAbstract:
Context.— There is an ongoing perception that the pathology job market is poor, which may be discouraging medical students from pursuing the specialty. Academic pathologists believe that jobs are available but relocation may be necessary. Objective.— To identify trends regarding the geographic relocation of pathologists taking their first job after training. Design.— The College of American Pathologists (CAP) Graduate Medical Education Committee has sent an annual job search survey from 2012–2016 to CAP junior members and fellows in practice for 3 years or less and seeking their first job. Data were analyzed across demographics and geographic domains consisting of the following: stayed at same institution/city, relocated within the same region, or relocated to a different region. Standard statistical methods were used. Results.— Of 501 respondents, 421 reported completing combined anatomic pathology (AP)/clinical pathology (CP) training, while 80 reported AP- or CP-only training. Of the 421 AP/CP respondents, 109 (26%) stayed at the same institution or city, while of the 80 AP- or CP-only respondents, 36 (45%) stayed at the same institution or city. One hundred ninety-nine respondents completed surgical pathology fellowships with 124 (62%) general/oncologic surgical pathology and 75 (38%) subspecialty surgical pathology trainees. Job seekers who completed general surgical pathology/surgical oncologic pathology fellowship accounted for 34 of 52 (65%) of those remaining at the same institution or city, while those with subspecialty training accounted for 40 of 77 (52%) of those relocating to a different region. Relocation did not demonstrate any significant trends in regard to other demographics studied. Conclusions.— The pathology job market appears stable with no precedent for geographic hardship.

Full textAbstract:
The shortage of pathologists in the United States has been a topic of discussion for the past 2 decades. At the 2014 Association of Pathology Chairs (APC)/Program Directors Section (PRODS) meeting, a Pipeline Subcommittee (PSC) of the APC Advocacy Committee was formed with the charge of investigating ways to increase the number of highly qualified United States Medical Graduates entering into pathology. Several online surveys were developed to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to recruitment into pathology. Two general pipeline surveys were completed; one was issued in 2014 and is discussed in this article. In 2018, the Medical Education Working Group surveyed the Undergraduate Medical Education Directors Section on the state of undergraduate medical education for pathology; pipeline issues are included in this article from the 2018 survey. Medical schools that reported 2% to 5% or more of their graduates going into pathology were compared with schools where less than 1% went into pathology. About one-third of schools producing more pathology residents had Post-Sophomore Pathology Fellowships. Schools that had a faculty member on the curriculum committee that felt they had little or no control were more likely to have fewer graduates going into pathology. Schools having students view an autopsy as a requirement of graduation were more likely to produce graduates going into pathology. However, none of these characteristics achieved statistical significance. Continued incorporation of best practices for exposure of pathology as a medical specialty as well as outreach to students will be necessary for the future pipeline.

Full textAbstract:
152 Background: Educating oncology trainees in methods and practical applications of quality improvement (QI) is essential. QI is a key component of the ACGME core competency of systems based practice. Formal QI training helps oncologists deliver safe and effective cancer care. Creating a QI chief fellow position allows for patient safety and QI initiatives to be fellow-driven and focused on building lifelong, oncology specific, QI skills. Methods: Feedback was solicited from the fellowship’s executive committee and divisional leadership to establish the job description and funding. Nominations were sought from peer fellows, focusing on a fellow who has expressed interest in QI, patient safety, and/or value based healthcare. The chief fellow was tasked with implementing a QI educational curriculum, developing a fellowship-wide QI project, and representing the fellowship on institution-wide QI and patient safety committees. Results: 100% (14/14) graduating fellows completed the requirements for an institutional clinical QI certificate by the end of the second year of the QI chief implementation, compared to 0% before the start of the implementation. 100% (27/27) of 1st and 2nd year fellows completed online training modules in QI. Biannual root cause analyses for patient safety events were initiated as a standard part of educational curriculum. 4 separate fellow-initiated QI projects were completed: oral chemotherapy patient education, opioid use and documentation, survivorship care plans, and infusion center usage. Fellows’ selection to the institutional clinical safety and effectiveness course increased from 4.8% (2/42) to 9.8% (4/41) in since implementation of the QI chief fellow. Fellowship representation on institution-wide patient safety committee increased from 0 to 2. Conclusions: Implementing a QI chief fellow role in an oncology fellowship is a feasible way to integrate a QI curriculum and provide structure for fellows to obtain further certification in QI or patient safety during fellowship. Ongoing challenges include encouraging enthusiasm from the entire fellowship for QI projects, finding appropriate QI mentorship from faculty, and translating QI initiatives into academic products.

There are currently 68 hand surgery fellowship programmes known to the authors in the United States and many more throughout the world. To our knowledge, there are no hand fellowships which focus on research. Such a hand surgery research fellowship is being developed to provide this training. This paper outlines the goals and objectives of the intended 2 year training programme and includes a description of the fellowship. The first year would be mostly committed to learning research methods and the second would be a clinical hand fellowship. This will combine clinical expertise in hand surgery, practical research experience and formal research training. Hand researchers would learn research methods, develop innovative research ideas and begin an active research and academic career.

Full textAbstract:
Human suffering is a major concern to the fields of psychology and theology; however, the effect of suffering is controversial to many. In this study, nine Chinese pastors, who had experienced religious persecution to the extent of confinement, were interviewed about their experiences during the persecution, the effect related to their suffering, and their ways of coping. The transcripts were coded into major themes by adapting a hermeneutic phenomenology method with a committee approach. Results showed that the suffering in religious persecution involved losses of personal freedom, physical trauma, spiritual isolation, and collapse of social support. Eight themes emerged as unique ways to respond and cope during the suffering–-experiencing God's presence, letting go and surrender to God, identification with the passion of the Christ and His disciples, preparing to suffer, normalizing their suffering, worshipping and reciting Scriptures, fellowships and family support, and believing in a greater purpose. The first three of the coping methods significantly predicted positive affect. The pastors also reported transformation after the suffering, which can be categorized into four themes–-switching the focus from self to the churches, embracing the humility and limits within oneself, increased trust in God's provision, and redefining their views on suffering. This study sheds light on post-traumatic growth and religious coping. Christian counselors are also encouraged to explore the meaning and emotion of suffering in therapy, as well as to utilize culturally sensitive coping mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in the number of students applying to graduate school and as the cost of education continues to escalate, more students have been applying for external funding such as SSHRCC doctoral fellowships. Over time, guidelines for assessing applications have been established by the various SSHRCC committees in order to decide which applicants will be successful. The present research identifies the qualifications of applicants which are related to obtaining a SSHRCC doctoral fellowship. One hundred fourteen applications were randomly selected for analysis. A variety of information from the application, e.g., thesis proposal, letters of recommendation, schools attended, publications, was coded and subjected to multivariate analysis. The results show that a high degree of unanimity was evident among assessors. Referee appraisals and the rank provided by the department are important in deciding whether a student is recommended for a SSHRCC fellowship. Publications and other academic awards play a lesser but significant role in the decision-making process. The results also suggest that gender and participation in the labour force are potentially important variables in determining an applicant's success in obtaining a fellowship.

Anne Warner applied physiological techniques to developmental biology, elucidating the mechanisms of cell interaction and communication that pattern the early embryo. Through her determination and passion for science, she contributed crucial discoveries in the fields of muscle physiology, cellular differentiation and gap junction communication. She spent the majority of her career at University College London, which became her intellectual home and where she acquired a Royal Society Foulerton Research Professorship, becoming a highly respected and influential figure. In her work on gap junctions, Anne was the first to show that embryonic development and patterning required gap junctions, and that the restriction of junctional communication between cells played a key role in tissue differentiation. Anne excelled in her breadth of vision across research and its interdisciplinary possibilities. In 1998 she established the CoMPLEX Centre for systems biology at UCL, bringing her own group together with scientists from across the STEM subjects to build testable mathematical models of biological systems across multiple scales. Indefatigable in her capacity for leadership and committee work, she assumed an eclectic set of roles across a large span of research organizations and professional societies, and had a lifelong association with the Physiological Society. In 1984 she founded the Microelectrodes course at the Plymouth Marine Biology Laboratory, which has trained generations in the art of electrophysiology and still continues today. With uncompromisingly high standards, she inspired her mentees to be ambitious and fearless, and established postdoctoral fellowships to help the young scientists who followed after her.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Over the last decade there has been a rapid increase in the body of knowledge in Hematology and Oncology with major changes in treatment strategies and available therapies. In this current climate, the majority of physicians with Hematology-Oncology training focus their practice on either Hematology or Oncology. However, currently most fellowship programs combine the two specialties. In 2012, only 16 Hematology-specific fellowship positions were available nationwide, and the number of applicants per position in the NRMP Match for Hematology and Hematology-Oncology (Hem-Onc) was 7.4 and 1.5, respectively. A report from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) predicted an acute shortage in the Hem-Onc workforce by the year 2020. As we attempt to meet this demand by training more fellows, it is important to understand the Hem-Onc environment in which the internal medicine residents are surrounded as they choose their career pathways. We therefore conducted a survey of internal medicine residents to understand their perceptions about this field and how they make decisions about fellowship training. Methods The content and wording of the survey were developed in focus group discussions of the authors. A 5 point Likert scale was used to identify a range of responses. A pilot was performed with the Hem-Onc fellows to test the survey for clarity and relevance. The Research Electronic Database electronic capture (REDCap) software was used for survey development and distribution. Program directors were contacted via email regarding study participation. The invitation to complete a 4 page anonymous web based survey was sent to Internal Medicine residents at 4 residency programs in Massachusetts (1 university-based and 3 community-based) between January 2012 and July 2012. Counts and proportions were used to summarize survey responses. Results 77 out of the 171 current residents enrolled in the 4 residency programs completed the survey (response rate: 45%). 59 (77%) of the respondents were either committed to or had considered pursuing fellowship training. Among these residents, Hem-Onc was among the top three choices for 20 (26%) of the respondents. The top three factors that led them to consider a fellowship in Hem-Onc were intellectual stimulation, the rapidly expanding field, and a personality fit (Table 1). The top reasons cited for not considering a career in Hem-Onc were the lack of curative options, personality fit, and dealing with end of life issues (Table 2). Of the 57 residents not considering a combined Hem-Onc fellowship, 16 (26%) were willing to consider fellowships in Hematology or Oncology if tracks where offered separately [11 (69%) for Hematology alone or 5 (31%) for Oncology alone]. Even among those considering combined Hem-Onc fellowships, 3 (15%) would consider fellowships in Hematology alone and 3 (15%) would consider oncology alone. In terms of the residency training environment, the areas of Hem-Onc training where most residents felt their exposure to the field be lacking were outpatient oncology (59,77%) and benign hematology (49, 64%). (Fig.1) Discussion While Hematology and Oncology have traditionally been offered as a combined 3 year fellowship, there is substantial interest in separate Hematology and Oncology fellowships as evidenced by our survey results and NRMP data. A greater number of Hematology- or Oncology-specific fellowships could attract more residents to these subspecialties and help meet the increasing demand for Hematologists and Oncologistsin clinical practice. Also, increased exposure to outpatient, in addition to inpatient, Hem-Onc during residency would be more representative of actual practice, could dispel misconceptions about dismal outcomes in Hem-Onc, and may help attract more residents to the field. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

This year was an unusual one for the APSA Congressional Fellowship Program—three fellows were placed with the same congressional office. The fact that three fellows, each with very different backgrounds, were drawn to the Senate Finance Committee, says something about the unique role that the committee plays in congressional policymaking. As one of the “A”s of the four “Super-A” committees, along with Appropriations, Armed Services, and Foreign Relations, the Senate Finance Com-mittee is one of the committee assignments most sought after by Senators. Its vast policy jurisdiction enables members to affect many different parts of the economy, society, and government. In addition to Chairman Baucus, the majority membership of the committee includes chairs of six other committees: Senators John Kerry of Foreign Relations; Jeff Bingaman of Energy and Natural Resources; John D. Rockefeller of Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Debbie Stabenow of Agriculture and Forestry; Kent Conrad of Budget; and Chuck Schumer who serves both as chairman of the Rules Committee and the Democratic Policy and Communications Center. On the minority side, in addition to the ranking member, Senator Orrin Hatch, the panel includes three ranking members of other committees: Senators Chuck Grassley of Judiciary, Olympia Snowe of Small Business, and Mike Enzi of Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. They serve alongside with the Republican Whip Senator Jon Kyl, the Republican Conference Chair John Thune, and the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman John Cornyn of Texas. This concentration of senatorial experience testifies to the importance of the work undertaken by the Finance Committee.

✓ The decade of the 1990's has provided neurosurgery with multiple challenges and opportunities. Numerous developments hold a promise for making the 1990's the most rewarding decade of the 20th century for neurosurgery. The “Decade of the Brain” resolution, adopted by the United States House and Senate and signed into law by President Bush in 1989, has provided the specialty with staggering opportunities. Neurosurgery and the basic and clinical neurosciences would be strengthened by the development of a major new philanthropic organization called the “American Brain Association” that would carry the activities of the Decade of the Brain into the 21st century. Major efforts are being made to improve organized neurosurgery's responsiveness to member needs. These include the strategic planning project undertaken by the Board of Directors of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and efforts to strengthen the Joint Council of State Neurosurgical Societies. The AANS has been extremely active in representing the specialty in legislative matters in Washington and in multiple other forums. This Association has joined The American Board of Neurological Surgery and the Residency Review Committee in responding to orthopedic surgery's proposal for spine fellowships. It is proposed that the logo of the state, regional, and national neurosurgical societies be changed to depict our involvement in spinal surgery (as well as brain surgery) because spinal surgery represents more than half of the total effort of this specialty. The standards of worth and value that provide the driving force behind our work emphasize the need to grow in compassion as manifested by our kindness, sincerity, and concern as we grow in professional competence as reflected by our training, knowledge, and skill.

Aims/Objectives/BackgroundAcademic emergency medicine (EM) is a young field in the United Kingdom (UK) with a small critical mass of clinical academics, who have protected time to conduct research alongside clinical duties. There is a little published information on the academic training available to emergency physicians.In the UK, academic clinical fellowships (ACFs) offer a structured opportunity for trainees to develop skills and experience in research alongside clinical training. We aimed to capture information on the prior experience of emergency medicine (EM) fellows, as well as how the ACFs were structured and the next career steps for fellows upon completion.Methods/DesignA ten-question survey was designed by the project steering committee and circulated UK wide to all current fellows in EM and those that completed the programme in the last five years. Fellows were identified by contacting programme leads in every region. Data was collected via SurveyMonkey® between 18thFebruary 2021 and 25th March 2021.ResultsWe approached a total of 34 EM ACFs. The survey yielded a 91% (n=31) response rate (13 current, 18 completed within 5 years). One university from Wales and ten from England have supported EM ACF schemes. 59% (n=10) of those who have completed the scheme had their clinical training extended to accommodate research time. In the remainder, fellows were expected to achieve clinical competencies in the same time as trainees who did not spend time on research. In those who had completed the ACF programme (n=18), one third of respondents are doing PhD training (n=6) and one is an academic clinical lecturer.ConclusionWe found variation in how the schemes are implemented. Future research is required to explore the experiences of those undertaking EM ACFs in more detail to identify the features of successful ACF training schemes, and whether any aspects may benefit from standardisation.

The Canadian Digestive Disease Foundation, renamed the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation -- Fondation canadienne pour la promotion de la santé digestive -- in December 2001, is the culmination of ongoing efforts by the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology to establish an independent charitable organization. In February 2001, it was officially endorsed as the Foundation for the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology. The initial efforts to establish this Foundation, led by Dr Richard McKenna in 1963, were unsuccessful. In 1991, Glaxo Canada (now GlaxoSmithKline) became a founding donor, and with the four founding physicians -- Drs Ivan T Beck, Richard H Hunt, Suzanne E Lemire and Alan BR Thomson -- the expenses to establish the Foundation were met. A charitable number was obtained in 1995 (0997427-11). The second founding donor was Janssen Canada (now Janssen-Ortho), and public education support came from Astra Canada (now AstraZeneca Canada). The Foundation initially relied on corporate donors, but now approaches physicians, patients and the general public. The objectives of the Foundation are to advance the science of gastroenterology and to provide knowledge of digestive diseases and nutrition to the general public, to enhance the quality of life of persons who are afflicted with these disorders. The major achievements of the Foundation are the provision of one-year operating grants to new investigators, which have allowed them to accumulate early data and subsequently obtain support from other major granting organizations. It also provides Fellowships and studentship support grants, in conjunction with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the pharmaceutical industry. The education committee found that there was little research support in this field, considering the large economic burden of digestive disease and the amount of outstanding work done by Canadian researchers. A bilingual Web site, a web-based specialist's discussion program and bilingual pamphlets facilitate public awareness and allow patients to voice concerns.

The history of the first 41 years of the Congenital Heart Surgeons Society (CHSS) was recorded in 2015 which chronicled the metamorphosis of a small informal meeting into a mature organization with bylaws, officers, committees, funded research, the Kirklin-Ashburn Fellowship, and a vision to become the premier organization of congenital heart surgery in North America. Chief among these transformations was the implementation and development of the CHSS Data Center. Member participation, fellowship education, and significant outcomes research have been the hallmark of the CHSS. This incremental historical review highlights continued CHSS sentinel advances. Fifty-three CHSS Data Center manuscripts have been published. Citation scores (number of literature citations that each manuscript has accrued) have been collated and analyzed by cohort study. The average citation score for all manuscripts was 75.4 ± 76.3 (range: 1-333). The Kirklin/Ashburn Fellowship continues to thrive with academic achievements and generous contributions to the endowment. The World Journal of Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery has been adopted as the official organ of the CHSS. A Past President’s Dinner has been inaugurated serving as a senior advisory committee to the Executive Council. Toronto Work Weekends continue. Congenital Heart Surgeons Society growth has accrued to 159 active members and 82 institutional members. Future considerations include the size, content, and duration of the annual meeting; the potential for increased membership; and political penetrance into national cardiothoracic governing organizations regarding committee appointments, executive council representation, and education initiatives. Congenital Heart Surgeons Society has achieved numerous advances during this incremental period.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur amino acid, considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Excessive Hcy directly harms the endothelium and can lead to premature atherosclerosis, with progression to stroke and acute myocardial infarction. One of the causes of hyperhomocysteinemia (Hhcy) is known to be hypoestrogenism. Hypoestrogenism increases the cardiovascular risk as well as the occurrence of sleep disorders. Hhcy prevalence varies by population and its value in postmenopausal women in Brazil is unknown. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia in postmenopausal women in the city of São Paulo. Check if there is an association between the variables: Hcy and lipid profile; Hcy and hot flushes; Hcy and subjective sleep parameters Methods A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted that included a total of 1,042 volunteers living in the city of São Paulo in 2007. This research is part of the São Paulo Sleep Epidemiological Study (EPISONO). Study approved by the Ethics Committee (CEP # 0593/06) and registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00596713). Hcy, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides were measured. Sleep questionnaires PSQI, IGI, Epworth Sleepiness Scale were used. The GLzM (Generalized Linear Model) was used to verify the association between the different variables. Dependent variables were used in binominal and gama distribution when needed Results The sample consisted of 193 postmenopausal women, with a mean age of 58 years (SD ± 9). The prevalence of Hhcy in this sample was 4.7%, while 14.7% had dyslipidemia 22.8% with hypertriglyceridemia and 29% with low HDL levels. There was an association between Hcy and HDL. There was no association between Hcy and hot flushes, Hcy and LDL, nor with Hcy and sleep parameters. Conclusion The studied population presented low prevalence of Hhcy and there was no association between Hcy and sleep parameters. Support This research was support by fellowships from Associação Fundo de Incentivo à Pesquisa (AFIP) and Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) - Finance Code 001.

Full textAbstract:
11042 Background: While the American Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) set up a Planning Committee for Diversity in GME in 2018, no formalized milestones or training mandates have been announced. The nation-wide protests for racial justice following the senseless killings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd further brought to the forefront the need for immediate action to address widespread inequities across graduate medical education, our healthcare system and society as a whole. Therefore, the Johns Hopkins Hematology/Medical Oncology Fellowship Program focused on creating an anti-racism curriculum to foster dialogue on systemic racism and discrimination, grounded in the institutional and geographic context of our training program. Methods: Using the Kern six step curriculum development method, we created a comprehensive anti-racism initiative, which included virtual townhalls with Black alumni of the fellowship, book clubs, readings, and lectures. We sought to deepen the fellowship’s awareness of the impact of racism and inequity upon trainees, underrepresented minority oncologists and hematologists, and patients in order to develop initiatives to confront them productively. Trainees received a survey 6 months after the start of the curriculum to assess the impact of the initiatives upon trainees, and inform iterative changes to the curriculum. Results: 25 of 34 fellows across all post-graduate years (PGY) completed the survey. Fellows agreed that the curriculum was helpful (68%) and encouraging (60%). Collectively, fellows reported that the curriculum increased their awareness of instances of racism in medicine, caused them to think about next steps that the fellowship could take to address racism, and enabled them to identify available resources for support and further education. Respondents selected community engagement and recruitment of diverse fellowship classes as the most pressing priorities for the program. Conclusions: Social justice and anti-racism education belong in the formalized training of our hematology/medical oncology fellows. To this end, our ongoing curricular expansion is focusing on anti-racism training, diverse recruitment and youth mentorship. Collectively, a comprehensive yet program-specific approach facilitates opportunities for learning, engagement and development of the skills necessary to engage in this life-long work for ourselves, our communities and our patients.

Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology 6, Supplement_1 (March 1, 2023): 43–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jcag/gwac036.080.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) advanced training programs in Canada are heterogenous in their education, structure, and case exposure, resulting in differences in trainee experience. While competency based medical education (CBME) is becoming the primary educational framework in residency training, there is no CBME-based curriculum for IBD advanced training programs. Adopting a CBME framework for IBD fellowships may help standardize training to increase competence. Purpose The purpose of this study was to develop a CBME-based curriculum for IBD advanced training programs in Canada. Method Strategic groups consisting of 25 IBD experts were assigned to develop 15 entrustable professional activities (EPAs), which were then refined by experts in medical education and curriculum development. Acceptable EPAs were assessed using an electronically administered round-less Delphi panel. Panel members evaluated each EPA using a Likert scale, which asked participants to consider appropriateness of each EPA for an advanced IBD curriculum. A consensus strength greater than 70% was the acceptable threshold for inclusion into the final curriculum. Milestones were modelled after CanMED roles for each EPA. Result(s) Of the 15 initial EPAs, nine were recommended for the roundless Delphi panel by the selection committee: (1) identification, diagnosis, and treatment of new onset IBD; (2) assessment and treatment of outpatients with IBD; (3) the endoscopic evaluation of disease activity and the effective communication of endoscopic findings for patients with IBD; (4) provide effective inpatient management and coordinate transition to outpatient care for patients with IBD; (5) recognize and institute preventive health maintenance strategies in patients with IBD; (6) management and treatment of special populations with IBD; (7) identification, diagnosis, and treatment of the various extraintestinal manifestations of IBD; (8) Engage health care systems to improve the quality of care for patients with IBD; (9) engage in scholarly activities related to IBD. Eight of the nine EPAs achieved a consensus score greater than 70%, with the EPA, ‘engage in scholarly activities related to IBD’ failing to meet this cut-off. Associated milestones were developed for the eight final EPAs. Image Conclusion(s) This study was the first attempt to develop a CBME-based IBD curriculum in Canada. With proper funding and guidance, we hope our model can be implemented across Canada in IBD advanced training programs. These methods may also help facilitate the development of CBME curricula for other advanced training programs.

Full textAbstract:
“Pacifism + non-resistance are by-products of some central things to which we have to testify.”Richard RobertsAlthough Rev. Richard Roberts was the chairman of the founding conference of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) at Cambridge in 1914, its first general secretary, and the key figure in its early ideology, he has largely been ignored in the secondary literature. Admittedly, Vera Brittain, in The Rebel Passion, sketched an appreciative vignette, but Jill Wallis, in her more recent FOR study Valiant for Peace, mentions him only six times without discussing his ideas. Even Roberts' daughter Gwen's biography, Grace Unfailing, fails to analyze the basis of his contribution. Yet, seven decades after attending the founding FOR conference, its only survivor, Horace Alexander, wrote that, while he could not recall the details, Richard Roberts had impressed him most, for he “got right into [him], and helped [him] find a sure foundation for life.” Alexander's comment points in the direction Martin Ceadel began to develop when he defined pacifism as a faith. But Ceadel restricted that faith to its relation to war, a restriction that was inappropriate for the early FOR. Pacifism, its leading members posited, should pervade all of life, private as well as public. Their conception of the new organization sounded like a worldview, a framework through which they viewed the world. Nevertheless, although pacifism should influence all of life, it was, as Roberts suggested, a by-product rather than the central element. Hence, rather than explicating his understanding of pacifism, at the founding conference Roberts focused on Christ's atonement as the ground of all ethics and as supplying the regulative principle of the Christian's reconciling ministry in the world. From this perspective he drew the conclusion that reconciliation implied a wide range of social activities for which the energies of youth, being used in warfare, should be mobilized in something akin to a Franciscan tertiary order. It was this call for social regeneration combined with evangelism that impressed Alexander. Only in passing Roberts declared the “simple,” pre-1914 pacifism bankrupt, while expecting that reconciliation in all spheres of life would undercut the commonly held view that war was “a hateful affair yet a noble enterprise of Christian chivalry.” This notion of reconciliation, with all that it entailed, became central. Even before the FOR had a conscription committee it had established committees for its rehabilitation of young offenders commune, for education, and for social service. The limited secondary literature has generally ignored these committees and failed to analyze the notion of reconciliation, focusing instead on the by-product and on conscientious objectors. Methodologically, Ceadel defined the FOR as quietist, and compared to the No-Conscription Fellowship (NCF) that would be quite accurate. Indeed, for while the FOR encouraged its members to be politically involved—it had a political group committee—it shied away from being a political pressure group, regarding the NCF tactics incompatible with reconciliation. Although its methodology was quietist, its ideology was radical, aiming at the transformation of society. In order to understand this largely Roberts-influenced reconciliation ideology, it is necessary to take a closer look at Roberts' worldview.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the theological content of the controversy that unfolded between the leaders of the Fellowship of St. Alban and St. Sergius in connection with the proposal of Archpriest Sergiy Bulgakov on the "partial intercommunion" – the Eucharistic communion of Anglicans and Orthodox, members of the Fellowship of St. Alban and St. Sergius. The Fellowship was founded at the second Anglo-Orthodox Congress in St. Albans in 1928. Bulgakov put forward a proposal for communion at one of the annual conferences of the Fellowship in 1933, i.e. after five years of its existence. According to Bulgakov, partial intercommunion could not replace the whole reunion of churches, but could serve as its beginning. Bulgakov's proposal for communion caused a heated discussion that lasted for three years. Opinions were divided on both the Anglican and Orthodox sides. The discussion was preserved on the pages of the Journal of the Fellowship and in the confidential correspondence of the members of the Executive Committee and the Paris Group, which was conducted in English. The main exponents of the opposite positions were Archpriest Sergey Bulgakov and Archpriest George Florovsky. At the heart of these disagreements was a different idea of the nature of the Church. Both sides assumed that the Church is one and catholic ("sobornaya"), but they understood the content of these concepts differently. In Florovsky's understanding, "sobornost" should have a dogmatic basis, while Bulgakov believed that "sobornost" has a mysterious-charismatic basis. In practical terms, the discussion turned around two possible ways of the ecumenical movement and their combination: the "diplomatic" method of reunification and the "molecular" action. The translation of several documents from the correspondence of the members of the Executive Committee of the Fellowship and the Paris Group is published as an appendix for the first time: a confidential note by A.F. Dobbie-Bateman to the members of the Executive Committee, letters from A.V. Kartashev and Archpriest George Florovsky, as well as a letter from N. Zernov, which outlines the discussion of Bulgakov's project at a meeting of the Brotherhood of Saint Sophia on October 29, 1933 in Paris.

In the last year or so the future of mental health services in this country has been intensively discussed. COHSE, MIND, and the Richmond Fellowship have produced their ‘blueprints', outlining details of the way they see services being organized. All variety of professional organizations have been busy presenting evidence to the House of Commons Social Services Committee which is specifically examining community care. The DHSS has committed more joint finance to ‘care in the community’ projects and Regional Health Authorities are examining the strategies to close large psychiatric hospitals. Consequently, District Health Authorities, in many cases, are planning the shape of a new mental health service which places increasingly less reliance on the large institution. The phrase ‘community care’ has now become so hackneyed in planning circles that for many it has lost whatever meaning it may have once had. However, despite all the rhetoric, and indeed all the planning activity, psychiatric nurses themselves have still to voice coherently their thoughts and fears about the shape of things to come.

Liver transplantation is a complex procedure performed on critically ill patients with multiple comorbidities, which requires the anesthesiologist to be facile with complex hemodynamics and physiology, vascular access procedures, and advanced monitoring. Over the past decade, there has been a continuing debate whether or not liver transplant anesthesia is a general or specialist practice. Yet, as significant data have come out in support of dedicated liver transplant anesthesia teams, there is not a guarantee of liver transplant exposure in domestic residencies. In addition, there are no standards for what competencies are required for an individual seeking fellowship training in liver transplant anesthesia. Using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education guidelines for residency training as a model, the Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia Fellowship Committee in conjunction with the Liver Transplant Anesthesia Fellowship Task Force has developed the first proposed standardized core competencies and milestones for fellowship training in liver transplant anesthesiology.

Pediatric pathology (PP) is a subspecialty of pathology encompassing disease states during human development from the fetus to the young adult. Despite the existence of ACGME-accredited fellowship programs and opportunity for pediatric pathology subspecialty board certification, many pediatric pathology fellowship positions remain unfilled in North America. We sought to understand the difficulties in recruitment to the PP training programs by conducting a survey. A 3-pronged survey targeting pathology residents (PR), PP fellows and recent fellowship graduates (F&G), and PP training programs was conducted. Three separate questionnaires were prepared, one for each group; and administered online via SurveyMonkey. There were 175 responses to PR survey, 29 to F&G and 19 to programs survey. The results of the PR and F&G survey revealed that trainees select a subspecialty early in their residency training, primarily based on their interest, followed by prospects of employment. Nearly half of resident respondents had discounted pediatric pathology subspecialty training without prior exposure to the specialty. Senior residents and faculty members were reported as the main source for fellowship information for residents choosing subspecialty training and the choice of the training program was mostly dictated by geographic location. Most fellow recruits are racially diverse, female, and American medical graduates. Pathology residents decide on subspecialty training based on their interest; however, many are not exposed to pediatric pathology early on in training. The survey results suggest that existing PP fellowship positions likely will continue to exceed demand for subspecialty training. The results of the study could aid in developing strategies to boost recruitment to PP.

The Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia (SATA) is dedicated to improving patient care in all facets of transplant anesthesia. The anesthesia fellowship training recommendations for thoracic transplantation (heart and lungs) and part of the abdominal organ transplantation (liver) have been presented in previous publications. The SATA Fellowship Committee has completed the remaining component of abdominal transplant anesthesia (kidney/pancreas) and has assembled core competencies and milestones derived from expert consensus to guide the education and overall preparation of trainees providing care for kidney/pancreas transplant recipients. These recommendations provide a comprehensive approach to pre-operative evaluation, vascular access procedures, advanced hemodynamic monitoring, assessment of coagulation and metabolic abnormalities, operative techniques, and post-operative pain control. As such, this document supplements the current liver/hepatic transplant anesthesia fellowship training programs to include all aspects of “Abdominal Organ Transplant Anesthesia” recommended knowledge.

Abstract Background Burnout in graduate medical education is common and reported in ~70% of Internal Medicine (IM) residents. Most studies have described interventions focused on residency training, but fellowship training suffers from similar challenges and likely similar levels of burnout. After conducting a needs assessment amongst fellows within our Infectious Diseases (ID) fellowship program, we developed a wellness program to address these issues. Methods In Spring 2018, we reviewed the existing literature and consulted with local experts on trainee well-being. Based on our findings, we designed a multi-tiered approach to enhance wellness amongst fellows. An ID Fellowship Well-Being Committee (WBC) was created in September 2018 to lead the intervention. The WBC includes an even mix of fellows and faculty at multiple levels at all three main teaching hospitals associated with the program. Meetings occur every other month, and co-chairs (one faculty and one fellow) report back to the program director quarterly. Topic areas and interventions are described in Table 1. Fellows were sent a qualitative survey to evaluate the impact of the well-being interventions to date. Results Four of 5 first year fellows responded to the survey, and all felt the retreat should be repeated yearly. Themes identified from the survey included benefits of having protected time together, convening in a low pressure and informal setting to provide feedback, and spending quality time in a non-clinical setting with co-fellows. Fellows cited the wellness retreat as a strength at our annual fellowship external program review. Conclusion Burnout is likely high among IM sub-specialty fellows, and interventions are needed to support the well-being of those trainees. We describe a roadmap for the development of a well-being program at a relatively large, academic ID fellowship program led by a mixed fellow and faculty committee. We will continue to monitor data on fellow burnout and make programmatic changes based on feedback. We are hopeful that our work will empower other programs to engage in developing their own well-being programs. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract Background The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires residency programs to meet and demonstrate outcomes across 6 competencies. Measuring residents' competency in practice-based learning and improvement (PBLI) is particularly challenging. Purpose We developed an educational tool to meet ACGME requirements for PBLI. The PBLI template helped programs document quality improvement (QI) projects and supported increased scholarly activity surrounding PBLI learning. Methods We reviewed program requirements for 43 residency and fellowship programs and identified specific PBLI requirements for QI activities. We also examined ACGME Program Information Form responses on PBLI core competency questions surrounding QI projects for program sites visited in 2008–2009. Data were integrated by a multidisciplinary committee to develop a peer-protected PBLI template guiding programs through process, documentation, and evaluation of QI projects. All steps were reviewed and approved through our GME Committee structure. Results An electronic template, companion checklist, and evaluation form were developed using identified project characteristics to guide programs through the PBLI process and facilitate documentation and evaluation of the process. During a 24 month period, 27 programs have completed PBLI projects, and 15 have reviewed the template with their education committees, but have not initiated projects using the template. Discussion The development of the tool generated program leaders' support because the tool enhanced the ability to meet program-specific objectives. The peer-protected status of this document for confidentiality and from discovery has been beneficial for program usage. The document aggregates data on PBLI and QI initiatives, offers opportunities to increase scholarship in QI, and meets the ACGME goal of linking measures to outcomes important to meeting accreditation requirements at the program and institutional level.

Abstract Objectives Given the increased complexity of molecular and cytogenetic testing (MOL-CG), the Society for Hematopathology Education Committee (SH-EC) was interested in determining what the current expectations are for MOL-CG education in hematopathology (HP) fellowship training. Methods The SH-EC sent a questionnaire to HP fellowship program directors (HP-PDs) covering MOL-CG training curricula, test menus, faculty background, teaching, and sign-out roles. These findings were explored via a panel-based discussion at the 2018 SH-EC meeting for HP-PDs. Results HP fellows are expected to understand basic principles, nomenclature, and indications for and limitations of testing. Interpretation of common assays is within that scope, but not necessarily proficiency in technical troubleshooting of testing or analysis of complex raw data. Conclusions The consensus was that HP fellows should understand the components of MOL-CG testing necessary to incorporate those results into an accurate, clinically relevant, and integrated HP report.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionThe Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology (JSPN) fellowship is a long-running programme to support early career psychiatrists from around the world to attend the society's annual conference in Japan.ObjectivesTo inform early career psychiatrists of the nature of the fellowship, disseminate learning from the experience and to encourage applications to the scheme.MethodsEach member organisation of the World Psychiatric Association can nominate up to two early career psychiatrists for consideration by the fellowship committee. Applicants must submit an abstract in one of two themes, describing how services are designed in their country. Twelve early career psychiatrists are selected to participate in the programme each year.ResultsIn 2015, fellows were drawn from ten countries across three continents. The fellowship programme involved several components, including the opportunity to present the nature of psychiatric services in our home nations in dedicated seminars with other international fellows. This provided an excellent platform to compare and contrast different national approaches in key areas. Each seminar was co-chaired by an eminent psychiatrist and an early career psychiatrist from Japan, increasing the possibilities for professional exchange and mentoring.The Japanese Young Psychiatrists’ Organisation arranged a number of activities for the fellows including a guided tour of a local psychiatric facility. This enabled fellows to gain a deeper understanding of psychiatric practice in Japan, through informal discussions and interaction with clinicians.ConclusionsThe JSPN fellowship is an effective mechanism for fostering improved relations and understanding between early career psychiatrists across the world.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
