Current status of resident simulation training curricula: pearls and pitfalls.

Residency programs are required to incorporate simulation into their training program. Ideally, simulation provides a safe environment for a trainee to be exposed to both common and challenging clinical scenarios. The purpose of this review is to detail the current state of the most commonly used laparoscopic, endoscopic, and robotic surgery simulation programs in general surgery residency education, including resources required for successful implementation and benchmarks for evaluation. Members of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Resident and Fellow Task Force (RAFT) Committee performed a literature review using PubMed and training websites. Information regarding the components of the most commonly used laparoscopic, endoscopic, and/or robotic simulation curriculum, including both formal and informal benchmarks for evaluating training competence, were collected. Laparoscopic simulation revolves around the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS). Proficiency-based as well as virtual simulation have been utilized for FLS training curricula. Challenges include less direct translation to the technical complexities that can arise in laparoscopic surgery. Endoscopic simulation focuses on the Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery. There are virtual reality simulation platforms that can be used for skills assessment and training. Challenges include simulator types and access, as well as structured mentoring and feedback. Robotic simulation training curricula have not been standardized. Simulation includes one primary technology, which can be prohibitive based on cost and requirements for onboarding. While surgical simulation seems to be a fundamental and integrated part of surgical training, it requires a significant number of resources, which can be daunting for residency training programs. Regardless of the barriers outlined, the need for surgical simulation in laparoscopy, endoscopy, and robotics at surgical education training programs is clear.

Making bioinformatics training FAIR: the EMBL-EBI training portal.

EMBL-EBI provides a broad range of training in data-driven life sciences. To improve awareness and access to training course listings and to make digital learning materials findable and simple to use, the EMBL-EBI Training website, www.ebi.ac.uk/training, was redesigned and restructured. To provide a framework for the redesign of the website, the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles were applied to both the listings of live training courses and the presentation of on-demand training content. Each of the FAIR principles guided decisions on the choice of technology used to develop the website, including the details provided about training and the way in which training was presented. Since its release the openly accessible website has been accessed by an average of 58,492 users a month. There have also been over 12,000 unique users creating accounts since the functionality was added in March 2022, allowing these users to track their learning and record completion of training. Development of the website was completed using the Agile Scrum project management methodology and a focus on user experience. This framework continues to be used now that the website is live for the maintenance and improvement of the website, as feedback continues to be collected and further ways to make training FAIR are identified. Here, we describe the process of making EMBL-EBI's training FAIR through the development of a new website and our experience of implementing Agile Scrum.

Identification of barriers at the primary care provider level to improve inflammatory breast cancer diagnosis and management

The purpose of this study, based in the United States, was to evaluate knowledge gaps and barriers related to diagnosis and care of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), a rare but lethal breast cancer subtype, amongst Primary Care Providers (PCP) as they are often the first point of contact when patients notice initial symptoms. PCP participants in the Duke University Health System, federally qualified health center, corporate employee health and community practices, nearby academic medical center, Duke physician assistant and advanced practice nurse leadership program alumni were first selected in a convenience sample and for semi-structured interviews (n = 11). Based on these data, an online survey tool was developed and disseminated (n = 78) to assess salient measures of IBC diagnosis, health disparity factors, referral and care coordination practices, COVID-19 impact, and continuing medical education (CME). PCP reported access to care and knowledge gaps in symptom recognition (mean = 3.3, range 1–7) as major barriers. Only 31 % reported ever suspecting IBC in a patient. PCP (n = 49) responded being challenged with referral delays in diagnostic imaging. Additionally, since the COVID-19 pandemic started, 63 % reported breast cancer referral delays, and 33 % reported diagnosing less breast cancer. PCP stated interest in CME in their practice for improved diagnosis and patient care, which included online (53 %), lunch time or other in-service training (33 %), patient and provider-facing websites (32 %). Challenges communicating rare cancer information, gaps in confidence in diagnosing IBC, and timely follow-up with patients and specialists underscores the need for developing PCP educational modules to improve guideline-concordant care.

Developing the Technology-based Parenting Young Children Check-Up Intervention for Disruptive Behavior Problems Identified in Pediatric Primary Care.

Behavioral parent training programs show clear efficacy and effectiveness in response to young children's disruptive behavior problems, but limitations in engagement and accessibility prevent many families from benefiting from these programs. The Parenting Young Children Check-up (PYCC) is a technology-based program designed to overcome these barriers and increase the reach of behavioral parent training. Developed for use in pediatric health care, the PYCC includes three components: 1) an initial check-up designed to motivate program involvement; 2) text messages to connect parents with program content and reinforce content; and 3) a parent training website involving video-based content to teach parenting skills. This report details initial steps to refine PYCC intervention components. Seventeen mothers and 17 primary care physicians participated in this mixed methods data collection across three iterations by providing feedback on early drafts of the three components of the PYCC and completing a feedback questionnaire. Feedback from one iteration informed modifications that were then evaluated in subsequent iterations. Saturation of qualitative input, positive qualitative feedback, and positive quantitative ratings on the feedback questionnaire was achieved in iteration three. Outcomes of this investigation informed the full version of the PYCC that will subsequently be tested in a proof-of-concept trial. Several barriers limit the reach of parenting skills programs that reduce child problem behavior. We gathered feedback from parents and physicians to refine a parenting program that uses technology and delivery in pediatrics to overcome barriers. Future testing of the program will further inform implementation in pediatric settings.

Evaluation of Canadian urology residency and fellowship program websites.

There is growing use of online resources in the postgraduate medical education application process to provide applicants program-specific details, thus allowing for informed decision-making. Given the variability and non-standardized electronic training descriptions and objectives, our goal was to assess the availability of program information through program websites for both residency and fellowship urology programs across Canada. Using the Canadian Residency Matching Service (CaRMS) and the Canadian Urological Association (CUA) websites, we compiled a list of all Canadian urology residency and fellowship programs. We reviewed all programs' website using a 40-item tool based on seven subcategories, including education, application process, faculty information, trainee/fellow information, research and extra-curricular activities, wellness, and both benefits and career planning. Each website was reviewed by two trained reviewers. Any inter-reviewer discrepancy was resolved by a third-party reviewer. Among 13 Canadian urology residency programs, all had program websites and met 48% of the criteria evaluated. None of the residency program websites reported information on work hours, surgical caseload statistics, or equity diversity and inclusion/community initiatives. Among 37 Canadian urology fellowship programs, 10 programs did not have websites, and the remaining 27 program websites met 28% of the criteria evaluated. Scores were highest for the application process subcategory, while scores were lowest for the wellness and benefits/career planning subcategories among both residency and fellowship programs. With growing reliance and dependence on web resources to access residency and fellowship program information, there is a clear need to standardize and improve Canadian training websites for prospective applicants.

Trends in Leadership Among Neurosurgical Oncology Fellowships

To examine current neurosurgical oncology leadership trends and provide a guide for those interested in obtaining fellowship directorship, we investigated fellowship director (FD) demographic, educational, and leadership characteristics. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons Academic Fellowship Directory and Committee on Advanced Subspecialty Training websites were reviewed for current U.S. program FDs for which data were collected using online resources and surveys. In total, 23 FDs (20 male and 3 female) were represented whose mean age was 52.4 years (standard deviation= 8.7). Our analysis found 65% of current neurosurgical oncology FDs to be singularly trained in neurosurgical oncology, with 8.7% possessing multiple fellowships and 34.8% possessing additional degrees. Fellowship programs producing the most FDs were University of Texas MD Anderson (4), Memorial Sloan Kettering (3), and University of Miami (2). FDs possessed an average of 148 publications, 6423 citations, and an h-index of 33.9. H-index had a high-positive correlation with age and time from residency graduation but not duration of FD appointment. Among survey respondents, 91.7% reported membership and 75% reported leadership positions among national academic societies, whereas 66.7% reported holding journal-editorial positions. The mean age of FD appointment was 46.8 years, with a mean time from fellowship completion to FD appointment of 10.0 years. Through the characterization of current leaders in the field, we provide valuable information with regards to training location trends, research productivity goals, career timelines, and target journal/national academic society involvement worth consideration among young trainees when making career decisions and plans.

Evaluating Diversity and Inclusion Content on Graduate Medical Education Websites.

To describe the variability of DEI content in residency programs and compare DEI website content by specialty. Using the 2021 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) list of residency programs, residency training websites were identified and evaluated. Information was extracted from program websites as indicators of DEI content. Chi-square analysis and one-way ANOVA were chosen to assess for statistical differences. In total, 4644 program websites representing 26 specialties were assessed. Among all the programs, the average DEI completeness of a program website was 6.1±14.6% (range 0-100%). While 6.2% of all programs had a diversity webpage, only 13.3% included a commitment to DEI, and few programs (2.7%) provided information about underrepresented in medicine (URiM) faculty. Graduate medical education programs can enhance information for current and prospective applicants about DEI initiatives on their websites. Including DEI initiatives on residency websites may improve diversity recruitment efforts.

Moving from Policy to Practice for Early Childhood Obesity Prevention: A Nationwide Evaluation of State Implementation Strategies in Childcare.

Policies requiring childcare settings to promote healthy eating, physical activity, and limited screentime have the potential to improve young children’s health. However, policies may have limited impact without effective implementation strategies to promote policy adoption. In this mixed-methods study, we evaluated the type, quality, and dose of implementation strategies for state-level childcare licensing regulations focused on healthy eating, physical activity, or screentime using: (1) a survey of state licensing staff and technical assistance providers (n = 89) in 32 states; (2) a structured review of each state’s childcare licensing and training websites for childcare providers; and (3) in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 31 childcare licensing administrators and technical assistance providers across 17 states. Implementation strategies for supporting childcare providers in adopting healthy eating, physical activity, and screentime regulations vary substantially by state, in quantity and structure. Childcare programs’ financial challenges, staff turnover, and lack of adequate facilities were identified as key barriers to adoption. Access to federal food programs was seen as critical to implementing nutrition regulations. Implementation resources such as training and informational materials were rarely available in multiple languages or targeted to providers serving low-income or racially/ethnically diverse families. There is a substantial need for implementation supports for ensuring policies are successfully and equitably implemented in childcare.

Quality Assessment of YouTube Videos as an Information Source for Testicular Torsion.

Background:Testicular torsion is an acute scrotal disease requiring urgent management, and the COVID-19 pandemic has been demonstrated to lead to poor outcomes for this disease. Presently, many people tend to seek health information via YouTube. This study aims to quantitatively assess the quality of English YouTube video content as an information source of testicular torsion.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, a search was performed with the search term “testicular torsion” on YouTube, and the first 100 videos listed by relevance were selected for our analysis. Duplicate, non-English, videos without audio and surgical videos were excluded. Video features (duration, number of days online, views, likes, comments), source of the video, and author's country were collected. Each video included in the study was assessed using DISCERN and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Benchmark Criteria. A correlation analysis was performed considering video features, video source, DISCERN scores and JAMA scores.ResultsA total of 66 videos were included and analyzed. The most common video content was general information, including etiology, symptoms, and treatment. The majority of videos were from education and training websites (30%), physicians (23%), and independent users (21%). The mean DISCERN and JAMA scores were 36.56 and 2.68, respectively. According to DISCERN, the quality of video uploaded by physicians was relatively high (P < 0.001), and the quality of video uploaded by independent users was relatively low (P < 0.001). The JAMA score had no relevance to the video source (P = 0.813). The correlation between the video features, DISCERN and JAMA scores was controversial by different assessment methods.ConclusionsDespite most of the videos on YouTube being uploaded by medical or education-related authors, the overall quality was poor. The misleading, inaccurate and incomplete information may pose a health risk to the viewers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Much effort needs to be undertaken to improve the quality of health-related videos regarding testicular torsion.

Training Resources Targeting Social Media Skills to Inform Rehabilitation for People Who Have an Acquired Brain Injury: Scoping Review.

BackgroundIn 2020 and 2021, people increasingly used the internet to connect socially and professionally. However, people with an acquired brain injury (ABI) experience challenges in using social media, and rehabilitation professionals have reported feeling underprepared to support them in its use. To date, no review of social media skills training to inform ABI rehabilitation has been conducted.ObjectiveThis scoping review aimed to examine research on interventions addressing social media skills and safety, with a focus on people living with health conditions; free web-based resources for the general public on social media skills training; and currently available online support groups for people with ABI.MethodsAn integrative scoping review was conducted, with a systematic search strategy applied in March and November 2020 across OvidSP (MEDLINE, AMED, PsycINFO, and Embase), Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Google, and Facebook. The data collected were critically appraised and synthesized to describe the key content and features of social media training resources.ResultsThis review identified 47 peer-reviewed academic articles, 48 social media training websites, and 120 online support groups for people with ABI. A key recommendation was interactive training with practical components addressing cybersafety, how to use platforms, and how to connect with others. However, no social media training resources that were relevant and accessible for people with ABI were identified.ConclusionsTraining resources to support people with ABI in safely using social media are limited. The key content to be addressed and the features to be incorporated into web-based social media training were determined, including the need for interactive training that is co-designed and safe and incorporates practical components that support people with ABI. These findings can be used to inform the development of web-based evidence-based support for people with ABI who may be vulnerable when participating in social media.

Disseminating the Use of the DICE Approach and the WeCareAdvisor

Over 6 million people in the US are living with dementia with most living at home cared for by over 16 million family caregivers. Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) occur accross disease etiologies and stages and most often dominate disease presentation. BPSD have wide ranging deleterious consequences for people living with dementia and their families. We have operationalized a model ("DICE" for Describe-Investigate-Create-Evaluate) that provides a systematic way of assessing and managing BPSD. Unlike other approaches, DICE integrates pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches and provides guidelines for first-line medication use as well as empowering, motivating and engaging key stakeholders (including both family and professional caregivers). Caregivers are trained to problem-solve, brain-storm, identify triggers and implement person-centered care strategies tailored to potentially underlying contributors to BPSD. The DICE Approach has now been manualized and operationalized to include in-person trainings. In addition, a caregiver training website has been created using lessons learned from the in-person trainings. Lastly, the DICE approach has been paired with technology to create a caregiver app called the "WeCareAdvisor" in a previous NIA-sponsored developmental R01. This session will describe the implementation of the training website in two different states (Michigan and Wisconsin) as well as a current R01 that is testing the WeCare Advisor in a large randomized controlled trial with a national recruitment.

Development of the Student Practice Evaluation Form - Revised (Second Edition) (SPEF-R2): The second action research cycle.

IntroductionThe Student Practice Evaluation Form – Revised Edition (SPEF‐R) was used across Australian universities from 2008 to 2020 to assess occupational therapy student performance on practice placement. Evolution of practice contexts, placement models and professional competency standards prompted updating of the tool. This paper describes the second and final action research cycle in the development of the SPEF‐R2.MethodsCycle 2 included three phases: (a) piloting of the SPEF‐R2 and post‐pilot survey to determine utility and applicability; (b) post‐pilot focus groups/interviews; and (c) final amendments for publication and launch. Quantitative data were summarised descriptively, and qualitative data were analysed using qualitative content analysis and reported using illustrative quotes.ResultsIn Phase 1, 23 participants piloted the SPEF‐R2 and completed a post‐pilot survey. Results indicated participants found the SPEF‐R2 relevant to a range of traditional and contemporary settings, easy to understand and an improvement over the previous version of the tool. Most participants found it more concise and less repetitive than the SPEF‐R. Participants particularly valued additions regarding culturally responsive practice, student health and well‐being and reflective practice. In Phase 2, five post‐pilot focus groups/interviews were held, gathering a deeper understanding of its utility. Discussion highlighted desire for an additional core item within the self‐management domain (Domain Two). Increased confidence in rating and provision of feedback on student performance were also evident. Reflection on findings led to final amendments and publication of the SPEF‐R2.ConclusionExtensive consultation with the occupational therapy community informed the development of the SPEF‐R2, reflecting contemporary practice and meeting the expectations of Australian occupational therapists. Action research was an effective approach to the development of the SPEF‐R2. Use of the manual and training website and support from universities are paramount if practice educators are to use the tool effectively.

The public can also increase their knowledge about e-commerce, manufacture of packaging labels, and online marketing. It is hoped that this training can provide ideas and motivation for the community to open a business so that it can improve the economy of Pagertanjung Village, Ploso.

A storyboarding approach to train school mental health providers and paraprofessionals in the delivery of a strengths-based program for Latinx families affected by maternal depression.

Mental health professionals in schools and the community are often overburdened and underfunded in high-need areas, limiting their capacity to deliver needed family-based mental health interventions. To address this issue, paraprofessional school personnel (e.g., family engagement liaisons) can facilitate these family-based mental health interventions alongside licensed mental health professionals, thereby increasing access to mental health services for families with mental health needs. To train professional and paraprofessional school personnel in maternal depression and interventions, we used storyboarding, a narrative storytelling method traditionally used to create films. Latinx families who had previously participated in a family-focused program for maternal depression shared real life stories focused on themes of (a) maternal depression, (b) impact on children, (c) cultural views and role of immigration, (d) self-harm and suicide, and (e) what families need. In this conceptual paper, we describe our engagement of families in a multistep process of storyboarding that resulted in video modules of family stories for a training website and in-person workshop for school professionals and paraprofessionals. We conclude with how community-engaged tools such as storyboarding can be used to increase awareness and reduce stigma of maternal depression among staff training to deliver family-focused mental health programs in schools.

Information devices as means of dictance learning of the school biology сource

This paper considers the problem of using information devices in the process of Biology studying in secondary schools. The appropriateness of moving to a mixed form of learning that involves the creation of a polysubjective educational environment (teacher, student, information devices) has been justified. It has been examined how well the scientific problem is developed in pedagogical theory and educational practice. The methodology of using information devices in the process of Biology studying in a basic school, which involves the use of the Play Market server applications, Smart technologies and a website, has been created. After the analyses of the Play Market server content, there have been found several free of charge applications, which can be used while studying Biology in a basic school. Among them are the following: «Anatomy 4D», «Animal 4D+», «Augmented Reality Dinosaurs – my ARgalaxy», «BioInc – Biomedical Plague, BioInc», «Plan+Net». Their choice is caused by the specifics of the object of biological cognition (life in all its manifestations) and the concept of bio(eco)centrism, which recognizes the life of any living system as the highest value. The paper suggests the original approach for homework checking, which involves besides computer control of students’ learning outcomes, the use of Miracast wireless technology. This demands the owning of a smartphone, a multimedia projector, and a Google Chromecast type adapter. The methodology of conducting a mobile front-line survey at the lesson on the learned or current material in Biology in the test form, with the help of the free Plickers application, has been presented. The expediency of using the website builder Ucoz.ru for creation of a training website in Biology has been substantiated. The methodology of organizing the educational process in Biology in a basic school using the training website has been developed. Recommendations for using a Biology training website have been summarized. According to the results of the forming experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed methodology of using information devices in the process of Biology studying in a basic school has been substantiated.
