Education and training of clinical research professionals and the evolution of the Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency.

Clinical research professionals play a critical role in the design, conduct, and oversight of clinical trials, and they must have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to ensure that trials are conducted ethically, safely, and in accordance with regulatory requirements. As clinical research has evolved from being a necessary activity for the development and regulatory approval of new medicines to an accredited academic discipline and, more recently, to a globally recognized profession, the methods of education and training of professionals have also evolved. Initially, on-the-job informal coaching and specialized training organizations led to formalized and accredited academic degree programs and, more recently, to international competency standards and competency maintenance through continuous professional development. The Joint Task Force (JTF) for Clinical Trial Competency is a multidisciplinary, international group of experts who came together to aggregate and refine competency standards for clinical research professionals, first published in 2014. The 8 domains and 49 specific core competencies of the JTF Framework have become a globally recognized standard upon which education and training programs, role descriptions, and upward mobility criteria for professionals are now based. The JTF meets regularly and, through its workgroups, continues to evolve in response to the changing needs of the profession. The JTF is committed to continuous improvement to ensure that clinical research professionals have the competence necessary to conduct safe, ethical, and high-quality clinical research.

Assessing the need for pre-mental health competencies in undergraduate education: insights from graduate faculty surveys.

Despite the value of clinical competencies for masters- and doctoral-level practitioners as well as the tremendous variability in preparedness for graduate school and at graduation from graduate school, there are no competency standards for students pursuing mental healthcare careers prior to graduate study. This study aimed to identify potential pre-mental health competency standards for undergraduates pursuing mental healthcare careers. Faculty at masters and doctoral programs in a range of mental healthcare fields were asked to rate their expectations of entry-level competence and the perceived entry-level competence of their first-year, bachelor-level graduate students on 42 sub-competencies derived from the APA's Competency Benchmarks in Professional Psychology. Faculty of both masters (N = 320) and doctoral (N = 220) programs reported high expectations of first-year graduate students for 11 competency categories (professional values/attitudes; relationships; management-administration; interdisciplinary systems; individual/cultural diversity; advocacy; scientific knowledge and methods; reflective practice, self-assessment, and self-care; ethical standards and policy; supervision, and research/evaluation) and 25 sub-competencies. Faculty in masters programs rated students as not meeting their expectations in 28 sub-competencies, while faculty in doctoral programs rated students as not meeting their expectations in 17 sub-competencies. Faculty recommended internships as well as improvement in writing, counseling skills, professional behavior, diversity, equity, and inclusion, cultural competence and humility, research methods, reading research, connecting research to practice, and education about the different mental healthcare professions. Our findings suggest that students would benefit from intentional training in multiple pre-mental health competency areas at the undergraduate level to facilitate graduate-level training in mental healthcare and to better prepare our future clinicians.

Prehospital Standards for Point of Care Ultrasound

Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) has become an increasingly recognized tool for the rapid bedside assessment of undifferentiated patients. With the advent of affordable portable devices, this tool has expanded to the prehospital world, offering an opportunity to improve patient care prior to arrival in the emergency department. To assess how this tool has become incorporated into paramedical care in Canada, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of paramedical licensing bodies across Canada investigating POCUS accreditation, licensing, scope of practice, and quality assurance regulation for paramedics. Overall, few provincial paramedical licensing bodies include POCUS in the scope of practice for prehospital practitioners, and those who do are not involved with POCUS training, licensing, or quality assurance. Our findings highlight the need for defined competence standards and quality assurance metrics to ensure safe and effective use of this bedside tool.

JobEdKG: An uncertain knowledge graph-based approach for recommending online courses and predicting in-demand skills based on career choices

Modern job markets often require an intricate combination of multi-disciplinary skills or specialist and technical knowledge, even for entry-level positions. Such requirements pose increased pressure on students, new graduates, and job seekers to find suitable sources of information to enhance their employability. Unlike standard competence management systems, this paper presents JobEdKG, which helps job seekers from various backgrounds choose online courses based on their prospective careers in addition to predicting different skills that may be required in their chosen career path. While existing solutions focus on internal institutional data, such as previous student experiences and a fixed set of skills provided by curated datasets, JobEdKG considers external data, recommending online courses that best cover the knowledge and skills required by selected job roles, in addition to extracting and predicting skills of that particular job roles. To achieve this, we first extract skills from job postings and online courses. These skills are linked to job titles, online courses, and other concepts in order to create a knowledge graph (KG). We assign an uncertainty score to each fact in the KG based on the prevalence of the fact in the source data (i.e. job listings and online courses), which results in an uncertain KG (UKG). Finally, we model the constructed UKG in order to infer different relations between the different concepts. The code and the data are available on our GitHub repository (https://github.com/team611/JobEd) and a user interface to browse the KG is available at (http://jobed.datanets.org/).

Model Pengembangan Kemampuan Auditor Dalam Tantangan Era Sosiety 5.0 Di Indonesia

The development of technology-based scientific knowledge has led to digitization in all aspects, giving rise to the era of Society 5.0, which emphasizes the integration of human life with artificial intelligence technology, including business processes. Auditors, as one of the independent professions with a crucial role in maintaining the balance of business processes by ensuring transparency and compliance with agreed-upon procedures, must understand the Society 5.0 era. This understanding can be translated into the form of competency standards, which are the skills and abilities that auditors must possess to fulfill their duties and responsibilities inherent to their profession. The aim of this research is to identify the challenges faced by auditors in the Society 5.0 era and how to adapt the competency standards that need to be met. The research method used is qualitative with a scoping review approach and content analysis techniques in descriptive data. The research results show that the challenges for auditors in the Society 5.0 era include intense competition with artificial intelligence, which can replace audit functions. Therefore, auditor competency standards need to be enhanced in terms of mastering these technological systems to ensure effective control. Recommendations for future research could involve different methods and specify certain types of audits.

The research method is empirical normative research, namely examining the factual implementation or implementation of positive legal provisions and contracts in each specific legal event, so this research requires primary data and secondary data. Data sources were obtained from primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials.The obstacles faced in enforcing discipline are caused by lessthan optimal supervision, guidance and leadership not being firm in imposing disciplinary sanctions, a less conducive work environment, low awareness of the importance of discipline by ASN, a lack of sense of responsibility in carrying out their duties/work, and low emotional intelligence. influenced by the level of education. The solution to facing obstacles to enforcing discipline is by giving sanctions or firm action to employees who are proven to have committed disciplinary violations, providing rewards or awards, socializing disciplinary regulations, placing employees through transfers, rotating based on assessment results and in accordance with competency standards as well as interests and talents. employees, as well as improving education so that emotional intelligence increases. The research results show that the implementation of enforcement of disciplinary sanctions in the Batam City Order Environment has been running according to the applicable mechanism but has not been implemented optimally. While legal arrangements regarding enforcement of discipline for civil servants already exist, sanctions for violations of medium level disciplinary penalties have not been effectively implemented because government regulations have not yet been issued as supporting regulations in accordance with the mandate of article 42 of Government Regulation Number 94 of 2021. The government is expected to immediately issue government regulations as regulations supporter in determining sanctions for moderate level disciplinary violations.

Strategy for Teachers Management in Binhai School in Xiashan District, Zhanjiang

Focusing on teacher management in private basic education schools in China, this paper makes it clear that the stable development of teachers, as the core resources of the school and the sowers of human civilization, is crucial to the sustainable development of private schools. The authors emphasize that for private schools to achieve long-term development, it is essential to build a team of teachers with strong professional competence and high business standards. Problems in teacher management include insufficient talent pool, unstable team building, unfair salary and remuneration, and unstandardized management system, which originate from the government and social environment as well as the school’s own management level. This article proposes guiding principles for teacher management, which are mainly divided into four aspects: teacher tenure system, teacher training system, teacher incentive mechanism and teacher evaluation system. The article concludes that teachers determine the quality of education and the quality of talents produced, and that private schools must develop good guidelines for teacher management in order to achieve sustainable development. For private schools, teacher management is a project that requires long-term persistence and systematic practice, involving various aspects of work. Given the limited number of years available for the study, it is recommended that guidelines for medium- and long-term teacher management in private basic education schools be further explored in the context of teacher development planning.

REDCap as an accreditation tool for academic programs in clinical research: A case study

Abstract The Master of Science in Clinical Research Management program at Rutgers Biomedical Health Sciences underwent significant restructuring aligned with the Clinical and Translational Science Award funding parameters. This evolution necessitated formal evaluation through accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. The years-long accreditation process posed challenges, particularly regarding the collection of course learning outcomes data aligned with accreditation competency standards. The objective of this special communication is to report the rationale behind pursuing accreditation for clinical research degrees, the data collection challenges during the accreditation process, and a potential solution. In order to address existing university metric data gaps, Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) software was used to develop a data collection tool that streamlined the accreditation process and reduced the administrative burden. REDCap was effective in allowing faculty to self-report 3 years of course outcomes data for accreditation. There was an elevated level of user satisfaction compared to alternative data collection methods. A SWOT analysis identified the strengths and weaknesses of using REDCap, emphasizing strengths in functionality that include customizability, data validation, and compliance with regulatory standards. Overall, the advantages of leveraging REDCap for accreditation data collection, including customization, data security, and user-friendliness outweigh the key disadvantage of REDCap, which is its limited reporting capabilities.
