Applicant-Fellow Virtual Sessions in Recruitment for Gastroenterology Fellowship.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, virtual interviews have become a norm for gastroenterology (GI) fellowship recruitment. Most interviews hold a session for applicant and current fellow interaction. There is wide variability of the sessions across programs. There are a paucity of data on the influence of these sessions on applicants' ranking of programs. We aim to describe applicants' experiences and perceptions of virtual happy hours (i.e., applicant-fellow sessions) during the GI fellowship application process. We surveyed applicants participating in the 2022 GI fellowship match cycle to understand their experience with virtual fellow-only happy hours. Mixed methods analyses were performed. The survey was completed by 68 (13.91%) applicants, of which, 75% reported that at least half of the interviews they attended had conducted a virtual, fellow-only happy hour. Most respondents preferred that the virtual happy hours should be conducted prior to the interview day (58%) and that breakout rooms with a smaller ratio of applicants to fellows are helpful (78%). The majority (87%) of respondents reported attending these sessions at least 75% of the time. Nearly half (44%) of respondents reported that these sessions influenced/altered their ranking decisions with respect to programs. Given the advantages associated with virtual interviews and their ongoing support by professional societies, the virtual platform is likely here to stay in future. Virtual fellow-only happy hours help provide a representation of the program's mission and when successfully implemented, can be leveraged to optimize recruitment and attract qualified, diverse candidates.

Ministry of Qes Gudina Tumsa in the Kambata/Hadiya Region

This paper highlights Qes Gudina Tumsa’s efforts in the Kambata/Hadiya region with special bearing at integrating the Kambata Evangelical Church 2 (KEC-2), which had broken away from the Kambata Evangelical Church (KEC) in 1954, into the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY). The KEC-2 attended the annual Conferenceof Ethiopian Evangelical Churches (CEEC) from 1955 to 1961, when the EECMY “Home Mission” with the Kambata Home Mission Program (KHMP) was launched. Qes Gudina’s efforts in the region can be divided into two periods. The first was in 1963 when he tried to integrate the KEC-2 into a synod of the EECMY. As we will see, this approach generated some problems. His second attempt, together with the Finnish Missionary Society (FMS) in 1967-69, was more successful.

Mercer on Mission program makes global impact by integrating study abroad with service‐learning

Craig McMahan, M.Div., Ph.D., was just one year into working as Mercer University's Minister, Dean of Chapel, and Assistant Professor of Religion when the new University President gave him an assignment: Develop a program that integrates study abroad with meaningful service‐learning projects that go beyond “hugging babies and painting walls.” And that's how Mercer On Mission was born. In 14 years, the program has completed 163 trips with 2,877 Mercer students and faculty participants visiting 45 different international sites.

The role of Doctor of Nursing Practice programs' mission, vision, and values statements in the development of students' professional identity: A qualitative study

ObjectivesThe effectiveness of university and program mission, vision, and values statements in shaping Doctor in Nursing Practice (DNP) programs' curricula and their students' professional identity is insufficiently understood. DesignThis qualitative research project explored how these statements inform DNP program curricula and contribute to the development of the professional identity of students SettingThree DNP programs in the U.S. American Midwest participated in this research. ParticipantsParticipants included students, alumni, and faculty from these three programs. Methods33 semi-structured interviews were conducted. The transcriptions were analyzed, using the Grounded Theory approach, and the results were interpreted in light of the statements of participating programs. ResultsWhile a wide range of themes related to interviewees' professional identity was identified, it became apparent that students' professional identity is centered on (1) being citizens engaged in social, democratic, and political processes, (2) building caring relationships and communities, and (3) addressing health inequities. Such priorities are explicitly aligned with the statements of participating programs. ConclusionsThe results (1) highlight the potential of statements to foster students' development of a professional identity as DNPs and (2) underscore that this identity is aligned with nursing programs' specific mission and values.

Cancer Survivorship at Stanford Cancer Institute.

The Stanford Cancer Survivorship Program is a key initiative of Stanford Cancer Institute. The program's mission is to improve the experience and outcomes of patients and family caregivers throughout all phases of the cancer trajectory by advancing survivorship research, clinical care, and education. The four pillars of the program include clinical care delivery with a focus on primary care-survivorship collaboration and expanding specialty services, education and training of healthcare professionals, transdisciplinary patient-oriented research, and community engagement. Cross-cutting areas of expertise include the following: (a) adolescents and young adults (AYAs), (b) mental health and patient self-management, (c) integration of primary care, and (d) postgraduate medical education. The clinical care model includes embedded survivorship clinics within disease groups in outpatient clinics, novel clinics designed to address unmet needs such as sexual health for women, and primary care-based faculty-led survivorship clinics for patients undergoing active cancer care requiring co-management, those who have completed active therapy and those at high risk for cancer due to genetic risk. Educational initiatives developed to date include an online course and medical textbook for primary care clinicians, a lecture series, monthly research team meetings, and rotations for medical trainees. Patient-facing activities include webinars and a podcast series designed to promote awareness, thus expanding the provision of expert-vetted information. Ongoing research focuses on oncofertility and family building after cancer, improving communication for AYAs, changing mindsets to improve quality of life through targeted digital interventions, increasing capacity to care for cancer survivors, and strengthening collaboration with community partners. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Stanford's Cancer Survivorship Program includes a robust transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research, training and clinical platform that is committed to advancing access and improving care for people living with and beyond cancer, through innovation in design and care delivery.

The Together for Health - Virginia Research Program: A Multi-Modal Approach for Population Health Assessment.

The Together for Health-Virginia (T4H-VA) Research Program aimed to advance cancer prevention, education, and outreach in Virginia. Creating a representative and inclusive cohort is critical to the program's mission and quality of outcomes. The T4H-VA Research Program utilized a multi-modal sampling approach to improve population health assessment. The current study describes the technology-based, non-probability platform developed for this purpose and compares differences between the probability-based (mail-based) and non-probability-based (e-cohort) methods with respect to participant demographics, health characteristics, and health information and technology use. T4H-VA is a research registry focusing on 54 counties within the Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center (MCCC) catchment area in Richmond, VA. Adult residents proficient in English were eligible. For the probability-based sampling, surveys were mailed to residents within the catchment area. For the non-probability sampling, an online study platform was developed and surveys were completed through the web/mobile app. Both cohorts fell short of recruitment goals. The study yielded 1158 participants (M=57, SD=16 years; 55.0% female; 72.1% White); 899 (77.6%) were sampled through the probability, mail-based approach. Participants who identified as "other" race were significantly less likely to be sampled by the non-probability method. Significant differences emerged, including health protective (greater moderate and high physical activity) and risk factors (greater alcohol consumption and personal history of cancer) in the non-probability, e-cohort relative to the probability sample. E-Cohort participants were significantly more likely to report using electronic health records. Overall difficulties in recruiting were caused, at least in part, by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors. The e-cohort, which used exclusively digital recruitment strategies, fell significantly short of recruitment goals. This suggests in-person and mail-based strategies remain important for recruitment. Moreover, instead of favoring a singular approach, a combined approach to survey sampling may capitalize on the strengths of each sampling mode to increase diversity in sociodemographic and health risk characteristics.

GEOTRACES Reflections

GEOTRACES is an international program that has benefited from contributions by investigators in 35 nations. The program mission is to identify processes and quantify fluxes that control the distributions of key trace elements and isotopes in the ocean and to establish the sensitivity of these distributions to changing environmental conditions. This perspective first summarizes the historical motivation for the program, and then describes selected research highlights, focusing on recent findings related to iron. The patchy distribution of iron in the ocean indicates a short residence time, at the low end of the range of residence times estimated in models. Iron removal from the ocean must, therefore, be rapid. Recent results from the North Atlantic Ocean suggest that the formation of particulate authigenic iron phases may be a factor contributing to iron removal that is faster than previously thought. This article also identifies several areas where advancements are expected through modeling and synthesis efforts.

ОПЕРАТИВНОЕ ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКОЕ СОПРОВОЖДЕНИЕ ЭКИПАЖА В КОСМИЧЕСКОМ ПОЛЕТЕ: ИСТОРИЯ СТАНОВЛЕНИЯ, СОВРЕМЕННОЕ СОСТОЯНИЕ, ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ

Psychological support to the Russian space crews is aimed to provide an optimal ambience for successful work of each cosmonaut throughout a mission. They include assessment of cosmonaut's mental and emotional state, planning and implementing measures against the negative spaceflight factors, and psychological stress reduction. Complication and extension of mission programs pose new requirements to accuracy of the downloaded psychological data. Advanced digital technologies present a way of getting additional information for dynamic psychological diagnostics. At the moment, the psychological support practice is undergoing a revision. The paper summarizes the experience of psychological monitoring of the Soviet and Russian space crews, outlines the processes of psychological support attuning to the new, constantly changing conditions, and possible associated difficulties.

Development of a Heart Failure Palliative Care Educational Program for Nurses: A Multi-Method Approach.

Comprehensive palliative care for patients with heart failure can be developed by educating cardiac nurses. The current study aimed to design a heart failure palliative care educational program for nurses. This study was carried out using the multi-method approach based on two out of four steps of Uys educational program development at Dr. Chamran Hospital, Isfahan, in 2020-2021. In step 1, educational needs were collected through literature review, interviews with 15 patients and 10 nurses, examination of patients' documents and medical records, and observation. Then, in step 2, the importance and necessity of teaching the proposed topics and the teaching and evaluation method of the items were assessed through two rounds of delphi technique (15 expert panel members). Eventually, the educational program was finalized. In step 1, the educational needs of nurses were identified in 6 general fields and 26 general learning topics. In step 2, educational needs [specialized knowledge (55% necessity and 55% importance) and social support (33% necessity and 33% importance)], teaching methods (role-playing, experiential learning, and journal club), and evaluation method (the information analysis method) were removed due to a lack of consensus (11%). Finally, the main parts of the program, including the program mission and vision, general learning topics, general goals, objectives, teaching strategies, and evaluation strategies, were compiled. This program provides nurses with up-to-date information on various aspects of the physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and educational needs of heart failure patients and ensures the provision of better services to them.

The Effects of Resettlement and the Development of the Urban Plan on Mission Demographic Patterns

One of the elements of the mission programs on the frontiers of Spanish America was the creation of communities that conformed to norms established for urban planning by royal law, or, in other words, to the grid plan. Missionaries congregated thousands of indigenous peoples on the mission communities, and had them live in spatially compact living areas. Living in proximity to others helped spread highly contagious crowd diseases such as smallpox, and created hygiene problems. This article examines the urban plan and housing arrangements for indigenous peoples brought to live on the missions among the Guaraní and the California. It posits that the spatial organization of the mission communities and forms of housing were important factors in determining demographic patterns among the mission residents. It analyzes historic diagrams of the urban plan of selected mission communities in conjunction with a discussion of fertility and mortality patterns calculated from censuses and registers of baptisms and burials. The article confirms the hypothesis of the strong relationship between the urban plan, and demographic patterns. At the same time, it highlights differences between the two case studies presented. The Jesuits brought thousands of Guaraní to live on the mission communities created from whole cloth, and the large population densities facilitated the spread of contagion. Periodic epidemics killed thousands, but the populations recovered. On the California missions, chronic ailments such as syphilis and parasites from improper sanitation associated with living conditions were the major causes of mortality. The California mission populations did not recover.

Long-term mortality burden trends attributed to black carbon and PM2·5 from wildfire emissions across the continental USA from 2000 to 2020: a deep learning modelling study

Long-term improvements in air quality and public health in the continental USA were disrupted over the past decade by increased fire emissions that potentially offset the decrease in anthropogenic emissions. This study aims to estimate trends in black carbon and PM2·5 concentrations and their attributable mortality burden across the USA. In this study, we derived daily concentrations of PM2·5 and its highly toxic black carbon component at a 1-km resolution in the USA from 2000 to 2020 via deep learning that integrated big data from satellites, models, and surface observations. We estimated the annual PM2·5-attributable and black carbon-attributable mortality burden at each 1-km2 grid using concentration-response functions collected from a national cohort study and a meta-analysis study, respectively. We investigated the spatiotemporal linear-regressed trends in PM2·5 and black carbon pollution and their associated premature deaths from 2000 to 2020, and the impact of wildfires on air quality and public health. Our results showed that PM2·5 and black carbon estimates are reliable, with sample-based cross-validated coefficients of determination of 0·82 and 0·80, respectively, for daily estimates (0·97 and 0·95 for monthly estimates). Both PM2·5 and black carbon in the USA showed significantly decreasing trends overall during 2000 to 2020 (22% decrease for PM2·5 and 11% decrease for black carbon), leading to a reduction of around 4200 premature deaths per year (95% CI 2960-5050). However, since 2010, the decreasing trends of fine particles and premature deaths have reversed to increase in the western USA (55% increase in PM2·5, 86% increase in black carbon, and increase of 670 premature deaths [460-810]), while remaining mostly unchanged in the eastern USA. The western USA showed large interannual fluctuations that were attributable to the increasing incidence of wildfires. Furthermore, the black carbon-to-PM2·5 mass ratio increased annually by 2·4% across the USA, mainly due to increasing wildfire emissions in the western USA and more rapid reductions of other components in the eastern USA, suggesting a potential increase in the relative toxicity of PM2·5. 100% of populated areas in the USA have experienced at least one day of PM2·5 pollution exceeding the daily air quality guideline level of 15 μg/m3 during 2000-2020, with 99% experiencing at least 7 days and 85% experiencing at least 30 days. The recent widespread wildfires have greatly increased the daily exposure risks in the western USA, and have also impacted the midwestern USA due to the long-range transport of smoke. Wildfires have become increasingly intensive and frequent in the western USA, resulting in a significant increase in smoke-related emissions in populated areas. This increase is likely to have contributed to a decline in air quality and an increase in attributable mortality. Reducing fire risk via effective policies besides mitigation of climate warming, such as wildfire prevention and management, forest restoration, and new revenue generation, could substantially improve air quality and public health in the coming decades.

Evaluasi Program Bimbingan dan Konseling

This journal examines the evaluation of guidance and counseling (BK) programs in the Indonesian education context using library research methods. This assessment is important to ensure the effectiveness of school counseling services. Evaluation includes the definition of the BK program, program mission, evaluation objectives, types of evaluation, stages of evaluation and the importance of the evaluation. Evaluation of the BK program helps supervising teachers monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of services, evaluate program processes and results, and improve and develop programs to improve the quality of services provided to students. Evaluation also helps plan program improvements and understand the factors that influence its implementation. In short, it can be said that evaluation of the BK program is very important to improve the quality of education and development of students.

Identifying Perspectives on Physical Therapist Residency Program Goals: Hallmarks of Success and Excellence.

The purpose of this study was to describe common perspectives important to achieving excellence and success in physical therapist residency education programs. Individuals with direct responsibility for creating and revising physical therapist residency program goals participated in a mixed-methods study using Q-methodology. They sorted 31 goal topics based on the level of importance for achieving excellence and success in physical therapist residency education. By-participant factor analysis identified dominant perspectives, which were interpreted based on emergent themes from the topics identified as the most important. Participants' rationale for selecting goal topics as the most important were extracted from the post-survey. Seventy-three individuals responded, representing 9 of the 11 clinical residency areas of practice. Three main perspectives emerged: resident behaviors, resident achievements, and program attributes. One shared perspective emerged across all 3 factors that emphasized the residents' ability to become self-regulated, lifelong learners who integrate learning into practice: preparation for future learning. Variability in weighting the importance of program goals associated with each perspective may include a program's organization and mission, individual beliefs and experiences related to program leadership, and resource availability. Although respondent emphasis placed importance of some items over others, the findings do not suggest that items ranked lower were unnecessary or unimportant in achieving program excellence. The relative importance of items was weighted differently based on the perspective of program leadership and the individual completing the sorting activity. The results of this study suggest that physical therapist residency programs should have at least 1 or 2 goals in each of the 3 distinct perspectives, as well as the 1 shared perspective identified in our findings. Some consistency in program goals based on the perspectives identified here may enable further research exploring excellence, value, and outcomes in physical therapist residency education.

SAT125 Promoting Habitual Exercise In People With Diabetes By Using Mission Certification Via App

Abstract Disclosure: M. Kim: None. J. Park: None. Regular exercise is very important for blood glucose control and overall health in patients with diabetes. Many guidelines recommend that diabetes should engage in 150 min or more of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity weekly, spread over at least 3 days/week, with no more than 2 consecutive days without activity. However, one big problem is that it is not easy to maintain everyday exercise. We used “mission certification“ through SNS (social network service) for promoting habitual exercise. BAND of NAVER Corp. is the most popular grouping platform in Korea provides “mission certification” program to do same mission among group members. About 20 billion mission certifications in Korea nationwide until now. We made our BAND mission for everyday exercise and thirty patients joined to certificate mission for 12 weeks. We assessed their adherence and maintenance of exercise. We compared their glycemic control, body weight, lipid profile and body composition before and after mission program. We defined 100% mission completion as posting certification everyday without missing. At the first 4-week follow-up, the number of patients of 100% mission completion was 14(47%). The proportion was increased to 87% at 12 weeks. Their HbA1c was significantly decreased in patients with 100% mission completion (P<.05). Their body weight, LDL cholesterol and fat/muscle ratio showed the tendency to decrease, but not statistically significant. Unexpected positive findings were that patients actively posted encourage messages to other’s mission certification and recruited their friends and family to mission certification program. Mission certification via app increased adherence and maintenance of everyday exercise in diabetes. This intervention promoted habitual exercise and improved glycemic control. Future work is needed in more patients with diabetes for longer term. Presentation: Saturday, June 17, 2023

Estimating uninsured and underinsured women eligible for Minnesota's Breast Cancer Screening Program.

Since its inception in 1991, the mission of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program's (NBCCEDP) mission is to improve access to mammography. This program has demonstrated evidence showing that it has improved breast cancer screening rates for women who are uninsured and underinsured. However, the literature has shown that NBCCEDP screenings are decreasing, and only reach a portion of eligible women. Reliable estimates at the sub-county level are needed to identify and reach eligible women. Our work builds upon previous estimates by integrating uninsured and insurance status into spatially adaptive filters. We use spatially adaptive filters to create small area estimates of standardized incidence ratios describing the utilization rate of NBCCEDP services in Minnesota. We integrate the American Community Survey (2010-2014) insurance status data to account for the percentage that an individual is uninsured. We test five models that integrate insurance status by age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Our composite model, which adjusts for age, sex, and race/ethnicity insurance statuses, reduces 95% of the estimation error. We estimate that there approximately 49,913.7 women eligible to receive services for Minnesota. We also create small geography (i.e., county and sub-county) estimates for Minnesota. The integration of the insurance data improved our utilization estimate. The development of these methods will allow state programs to more efficiently use their resources and understand their reach.

Task-Based Needs Analysis: Identifying Gaps Between Cultivation Scheme of BE MA Program and Market Demands: A Case Study of GDUFS BE Program

Cultivation scheme is the foundation of the teaching. With an increasing demand of professional English talents, needs analysis of market demands has become a significant basis for the development of Business English teaching. Despite the growing popularity of Business English (BE), needs analysis combining cultivation scheme and markets demands has rarely been carried out. Based on the the cultivation scheme of BE MA program of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (GDUFS) and wants ads collected online, this study aims to identify gaps between the cultivation scheme and market demands in Guangdong. Adopting the Key to employability Model and competence model, the present study investigates the following three questions: (1) what is the market demands for professional BE talents? (2) Is there a gaps between the overall cultivation scheme of BE MA programs in GDUFS and the market demands for BE talents? If there is a gaps, what’s the discrepancy between the cultivation scheme of BE MA program and the market demands and how to improve the current cultivation scheme? (3) How to realize the program mission of the modified cultivation scheme? The results reveal that objectives of GDUFS BE Postgraduates program cultivation scheme should be improved and can be modified according to the General Model of BE Postgraduates’ Abilities. Some practical suggestions regarding the revision and realization of the cultivation scheme of BE MA program of GDUFS are put forward. The research results have reference value for universities to adjust their orientations to meet the market demands.

Manajemen Strategi Kerjasama Antar Provinsi Jawa Timur dan Sulawesi Utara dalam Pengendalian Laju Inflasi pada Program Misi Dagang Ekonomi Pasar

Changes in economic conditions during the covid-19 pandemic, triggered a decline in the level of the economy in Indonesia. The impact of these events resulted in a weakening of public purchasing power at large. The government is optimistic about implementing the National Economic Recovery (PEN) program, both nationally and through regional authorities specifically in East Java Province. The East Java Provincial Government took the initiative to create a trade mission program, involving cooperation between partner provinces. Through the implementation of the trade mission program, the government is collaborating with several agencies, especially the Department of Trade and Industry, regional apparatus organizations, and business actors. This study aims to identify and analyze the strategic management of the Department of Industry and Trade in developing small, medium and large industries to increase the market economy between the provincies of East Java and North Sulawesi. The method used in this research is qualitative research. Data collection used through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that the trade mission program between East Java and North Sulawesi from three aspects of strategic management, which shows the good implementation of programs such as environmental monitoring, strategy formulation and strategy implementation which play a role in reducing the market economy inflation rate. Even so it is necessary to make improvements to other aspects in order to have a sustainable impact on the implementation of the dagang mission program being carried out.

The Jackson 5 System for Creating Rank Order Lists: Easy as A-B-C, 1-2-3

Every year, residency and fellowship programs create rank order lists (ROLs) that organize applicants by preference, with the most desirable candidates at the top. This ranking serves as a proxy of predicted performance within the environment of that residency program.1,2 The Henry Ford Hospital Emergency Medicine and Transitional Year programs traditionally created ROLs using quantified data from a candidate's application (file score) added to an average interview score to calculate a composite score. One problem with this approach was that a candidate with a high file score and low interview score would rank similarly to a candidate with modest file and interview scores, even though the latter candidate likely had less risk and was therefore more desirable. In addition, this method was inefficient, as lengthy discussions often compared adjacent candidates who were likely to perform equally well. Several years ago, we modified our ROL creation process to address these issues and improve efficiency. We designed a risk-based, criterion-referenced approach called the “Jackson 5” (J5) method for creating ROLs.J5 involves a fundamental change in the approach to ROL creation. Rather than compare candidates to each other and rank them, each candidate is independently assessed on their probability of success in the residency based on their application and interview. Candidates with the most desirable applications are assigned the letter code “A,” indicating that these candidates will likely require minimal academic guidance during residency (Table). Similarly, candidates with poor communication skills or values that do not align with the program's mission are assigned the numeric code “4.” Each candidate is therefore assigned to 1 of 16 J5 cohorts ranging from “A1” to “D4.”On the initial ROL, the cohorts are ranked in the order predetermined by the program faculty (A1, B1, A2, B2, C1, C2, A3, B3, C3, D1, A4, D2, B4, C4, D3, D4). The faculty then review the ROL with the understanding that candidates within a cohort will likely perform similarly as residents, and the individual rank of each candidate within a cohort is less important. The final ROL discussion focuses around whether a candidate was assigned to the correct cohort instead of how they compare to adjacent candidates.We have used J5 since 2017. To measure the effort required to finalize an ROL, we calculated the Pearson correlation coefficient between initial and final ROLs for 4 sequential recruitment cycles. Initial ROLs were created using the traditional method (TRAD, comparing candidates to each other and ranking using a composite scoring system) and using the J5 system (J5ROL, described above). After creation of each initial ROL, faculty had a detailed discussion to create a final ROL (FIN). We hypothesized that if the J5ROL-FIN correlation was better than the TRAD-FIN correlation, it implied that less effort was required to finalize and submit a ROL to the Match. Our results confirmed this, as J5ROL-FIN correlation was 0.89 (95% CI 0.87-0.90) compared to 0.81 for TRAD-FIN (95% CI 0.78-0.84; P<.001).A faculty survey revealed broad acceptance of J5 and preference over the traditional method. For example, 75% (9 of 12) agreed that J5 was more efficient compared to the traditional method, and 71% (10 of 14) felt that J5 allowed them to adequately express their opinion on candidates.In conclusion, J5 provides an efficient, feasible, and acceptable framework to create a ROL. Any site or specialty may implement this because it only requires a rethinking of the approach to comparing candidates and developing program-specific application and interview cohort criteria. We hope that it helps residency programs better recruit candidates aligned with their program mission.
