[Show Summary] Dr. Deborah Powell believes that a competency-based medical education can be just as effective if not more so than the traditional four-year model that has been in existence for over 100 years. She has been testing that theory with an innovative program called EPAC (Education Across the Continuum in Pediatrics), where four medical students per year are selected to progress through a competency-based program and move on to residency at the same medical school once they have proven they have acquired those competencies. The program currently has two groups of residents moving through, and once they finish their residency Dr. Powell aims to show that these residents are just as successful as those with the highest board scores. Interview with  Dr. Deborah Powell, Dean Emerita of the University of Minnesota Medical School  [Show Notes] Our guest today is Dr. Deborah Powell, Dean Emerita of the University of Minnesota Medical School and professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Minnesota Medical School. At the University of Minnesota, Dr. Powell instituted the medical school’s Flexible M.D. program, an individualized model of medical education designed to be more adaptable to students’ career and learning goals. Dr. Powell served as chair of the AAMC Board of Directors from 2009-10 and was the first female chair of the AAMC Council of Deans in 2004. She is currently working on a pilot study of a new, competency-based model for training medical students who want to go into pediatrics that combines undergrad and medical education. This model is currently being tested in four US medical schools including the University of Minnesota. Dr. Powell, let’s start with the basics. Why do you want to move away from the 4-year model, which has been in existence for about 100 years? What’s wrong with it? [2:03] Intrinsically there is nothing wrong with it, but nobody has ever said four years is necessary for a medical school education. It was proposed first by Abraham Flexner after a model in use by many US medical schools at the time which had two years of basic science followed by two years of medical education. No one has ever proven that amount of time is needed to complete a medical education and move to residency training. There have been several examples of three year medical schools. There was a famous one back in the 70s when the fed government felt we didn’t have enough doctors, so the four years was crammed into three years and it didn’t work out very well. The main point is that everybody learns at different paces – some people need more time, and some people need less. I am not a big fan of time-based education, I think it should be more about flexible medical education that is competency-based. What is a competency-based model? [4:28] The idea is that you would have a defined set of competencies which could be knowledge, skills, attitude, or all of the above that students would be expected to achieve at a specific level of achievement, at which point they would be deemed ready for the next stage of their education. With that kind of a model you can allow some flexibility, because students will achieve competencies faster or slower than others. The problem is that we currently live in a time-based medical education system, and a competency-based system should be time-variable, moving when you are ready. What competencies would you like to see? [6:17] The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) a few years ago developed 13 core competencies for medical students, which they said were necessary for students to move from medical school to residency, and they include things like developing a differential diagnosis for a patient who comes in with a certain set of symptoms and being able to interpret laboratory tests, and they are now testing those competencies in medical schools around the country, so they are the combination of procedural and diagnostic skills. The question is how to evaluate these skills, which is why people are skeptical of this system. Because it is not like filling in a bubble. Exams are still important but are not the only thing. For many of these competencies you need to have careful and repeated observation by skilled preceptors seeing the students over time and seeing their improvements. That group of clinician evaluators is really important for a competency-based framework, requiring faculty commitmen t since it is a lot more work. But it is also a lot more rewarding, and faculty involved really enjoy it. It is very active, takes a lot of time, and the big problem is that the faculty are very busy. Faculty in med schools are expected to do research, or see lots of patients, so time for teaching gets squeezed. What’s Education Across the Continuum in Pediatrics (EPAC)? How does it work? [13:14] This was a program I wanted to do because I wanted to know if we could test a flexible, individualized, time variable, competency-based education, and if we could do this across what everybody calls the continuum – medical school to residency to practice. Our continuum is currently segmented. We have medical school and it stops, residency and it stops, and then people go into practice. There isn’t a linkage across, so we chose pediatrics, because the American Board of Pediatrics was really anxious to do educational innovation. We had to get permission from all of the accreditation agencies to try this out, but the idea was to design a pathway for a few medical school students to work with pediatrics program directors working with the residency programs and clerkships. We would design a competency-based pathway, and an evaluation system, and put the framework in place and agree upon when students were ready to move into residency – it could be shorter than four years, could be longer. The schools that agreed to this (UC San Francisco, University of Colorado, University of Utah, and University of Minnesota) agreed to take four classes of four students each, and offer them a residency position at that school, with the student staying at that school for medical school and residency. Some schools were really skeptical and didn’t want students to go early, but at Minnesota we now have two cohorts of residents and have been able to see that all of them were able to go to residency at some point during their fourth year of medical school, so we’ve shown that no one needs to go longer, and in fact they all have gone sooner than the traditional model. We are carefully following these students in residency to show that these students perform just as well as students in their residency following a four-year medical school. We have to show that our assessment was accurate, and the only way to do that is to look at the whole cohort of residents they are with. Minnesota usually take 25 residents a year, so EPAC students are less than a quarter of the class. So far they are doing fine, and if that continues then we will have proven that we can do this model. All students need to pass the graduation requirements of their schools and the USMLE exam, but they are not required to get certain grades. It isn’t supposed to be about scores, but about being licensed. What are some of the disadvantages of this type of model? [25:58] For some they haven’t liked being singled out, and brought away from their cohort. The EPAC students are in their own clerkship, which has made some students feel a little guilty, since they know there were more students in the cohort that wanted to do it, and why was I chosen? Some of them get scared about the idea of going into residency early – am I really ready for this? But the vast majority have been pleased so far. My sense is that there could be a lot more resistance to the competency-based model than team-based learning, or earlier clinical exposure, or shortening of the didactic portions of the curriculum. Do you agree with me, and if so, what do you ascribe it to? [28:00] I do agree with you, although competency-based education was really proposed back in the 70s but never caught on because it felt too new and too hard. The ACGME then moved sort of to a competency-based model with milestones for residency programs so it brought it into the mainstream because everyone had to do it but there was still busywork. The resistance is two-fold – how do you create the framework and how do you evaluate it. In a world where we’re used to multiple choice exams, bubbles, and numbers, people are scared about this system. One thing about EPAC is that we have shown that you can create this framework and you can evaluate and assess it. When our EPAC students are through with residency we can show they do just as well as the standardized framework. If you can show you can do it, it’s just as good if not better, and students like it, that takes things a long way. The corollary is that it has to be individualized and that is not efficient. We are probably going to end up with a hybrid model, with more competency frameworks but not completely because schools need to have certainty and budgets and things that everybody can rely on, so consistency rather than flexibility is important. Residency directors like everybody to start July 1, so ours took a leap of faith to start off cycle. I think competency-based education is here to stay and people are getting used to the idea. If we can show that competency-based students are just as effective as those with the highest board scores we can get people to mo ve away from that numbers system, which would be a great service to the medical profession. Are other schools contacting you about implementing this model? [33:27] They are. There are a number of schools that wanted to be in EPAC but we needed to keep it small it has been an 11-year project, truly a labor of love. Surgery has been interested, family medicine has been interested, and other schools are interested in how they can adapt parts of it. I think we are going to see more models similar to EPAC. This is a podcast aimed at med school applicants and students. You have decades of experience in medical education. What do you wish your students really understood about medical school that they don’t tend to get? [35:34] I teach medical school in the first two years since I am a pathologist, and I think students have an incomplete understanding of how much work medical school is. They know it is hard and they know they need to do a lot of studying, but they don’t understand the sheer volume of knowledge they need to incorporate, and for some it overwhelms them. Some get really frustrated since there is so much medical knowledge out there and everyone thinks their subject and specialty is the most important and you need to learn a lot of facts. It is a different kind of learning. There is a lot of challenge for some students who haven’t found their right learning style. I wish they had a better sense of volume and pace. Another thing I wish they would think about is why they want to be a doctor. Medical education is very expensive and very long why do they want to help people as a physician as opposed to as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant or clinical psychologist? Other careers are very rewarding. I think students often have an idealized view of medicine and haven’t asked themselves that question. What advice would you have for someone considering a medical school education? [40:10] I am actually working with my grandson right now as he considers medical school. Aside from asking him why he wants to be a doctor, I try to express how important it is to be able to work with people, and lots of different kinds of people. What is he going to do to see if he really likes working with a really diverse group of people, and how is he going to test that before he applies? You need to be able to work with people collaboratively, so I advise prospects to think about what experiences they have with really diverse groups of people, and whether or not they get joy from working in that environment. What would you have liked me to ask you? [43:19] If I am optimistic about medical education, which I am. I think students have a lot to teach us since they are coming to school with a lot more skills and learning styles than we have ever considered. I see more schools want to embrace a real partnership with students around their learning so I think we will see innovation in medical education.

How to Conjugate the Regular French Verb Acheter (To Buy)

Achete (to buy) is a very common French stem-changing verb. It is a verb that has two different stems but is conjugated with the same endings as  regular -er verbs. Stem-changing verbs are sometimes also called boot verbs or shoe verbs  because if you circle the forms that have stem changes in the conjugation table below, the resulting shape looks like a boot or shoe. The Actual Stem Change For the  present tense  of verbs that end in  -e_er (  _ indicates one or more consonants), the stem change consists of changing the  e  before that consonant to  Ãƒ ¨Ã‚  in all forms but  nous  and  vous. See this happen in the table below. Stem changes are not limited to the present tense; they  occur across several French tenses and moods, as shown in the table below. Note that the table below  has only the simple conjugations of the verb  acheter; it does not include the compound tenses, which consist of  a form of the auxiliary verb  and  the past participle. Common -e_er Stem-Changing Verbs   Ã‚  Ã‚  acheter  Ã‚  to buy  Ã‚  Ã‚  amener  Ã‚  to take  Ã‚  Ã‚  emmener  Ã‚  to take  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  enlever  Ã‚  to remove  Ã‚  Ã‚  geler  Ã‚  to freeze  Ã‚  Ã‚  harceler  Ã‚  o harass  Ã‚  Ã‚  lever  Ã‚  to lift, raise  Ã‚  Ã‚  mener  Ã‚  to lead  Ã‚  Ã‚  peler  Ã‚  to peel  Ã‚  Ã‚  peser  Ã‚  to weigh  Ã‚  Ã‚  promener  Ã‚  to walk Other than acheter, geler, harceler and peler, most verbs that end in -eler and -eter are part of a different stem-change group that includes -eler verbs and -eter verbs. Verbs that end in -à ©_er have a similar stem change. For the present tense of verbs that end in -à ©_er, the stem change consists of changing à © to à ¨ in all forms but nous and vous, as in the following example:   Ã‚  Ã‚  je  considà ¨re  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  nous  considà ©rons  Ã‚  Ã‚  tu  considà ¨res  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  vous  considà ©rez  Ã‚  Ã‚  il  considà ¨re  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  ils  considà ¨rent Common -à ©_er Stem-Changing Verbs      cà ©der  Ã‚  to give up, dispose of  Ã‚  Ã‚  cà ©là ©brer   to celebrate  Ã‚  Ã‚  complà ©ter   to complete  Ã‚  Ã‚  considà ©rer   to consider  Ã‚  Ã‚  diffà ©rer   to differ  Ã‚  Ã‚  espà ©rer   to hope  Ã‚  Ã‚  exagà ©rer* to exaggerate  Ã‚  Ã‚  gà ©rer   to manage  Ã‚  Ã‚  inquià ©ter   to worry  Ã‚  Ã‚  modà ©rer   to moderate  Ã‚  Ã‚  pà ©nà ©trer   to enter  Ã‚  Ã‚  possà ©der   to possess  Ã‚  Ã‚  prà ©fà ©rer   to prefer  Ã‚  Ã‚  protà ©ger* to protect  Ã‚  Ã‚  reflà ©ter   to reflect  Ã‚  Ã‚  rà ©pà ©ter   to repeat  Ã‚  Ã‚  rà ©và ©ler   to reveal  Ã‚  Ã‚  suggà ©rer   to suggest  Ã‚  Ã‚  zà ©brer   to stripe*These are also  spelling change verbs.

The Biology Of Bird Flight - 1822 Words

1.3: The Biology of Bird Flight Bird Anatomy How do the wings work? Intro: Birds have beautiful feathers and lovely songs that bring joy and wonder to us humans. And flight is the feature that probably captures the human imagination more than anything else. For millennia, people have watched birds in the sky and wished we could fly, too. There are almost as many ways of flying as there are kinds of birds. Albatrosses glide and soar with long narrow wings stretched out, sometimes staying aloft for hours without a single wing beat. Hummingbirds, on the other hand, can t rest their wings for even a second in flight. Woodpeckers have a swooping flight, crows fly in a straight line, and swallows dart and weave every which way. A bird s breastbone, or sternum, is shaped like a keel to attach the powerful wing muscles. The bones of a bird s wings are surprisingly small compared to the size of the wing. All the bones and muscles of the wing are in the front and covered with feathers that protect and streamline the wing. The actual flight feathers are attached to the wing within little pits in the bones. Body Features: 1- Lack of nose and teeth: these parts are heavy and too forward.To grind their food, their stomachs have a gizzard near their center of gravity.

The Huffington Post free essay sample

This paper discusses the growing success of The Huffington Post. The online publisher has become a prominent online news source over the years and this paper examines the success, while relating The Huffington Post’s strategy to common marketing analysis tools such as the Porter Five Force Analysis, as well as discussing four different revenue models for online publishers. The Huffington Post In May 2005, the Huffington Post was founded by political activist Arianna Huffington, former AOL executive Kenneth Lerer and Jonah Peretti. The site focuses on political and cultural events and is supported by a large number of bloggers. The website is free to users and generates revenue through advertisements. Many different celebrities and politicians contribute to The Huffington Post, such as John Cusack, Bill Richardson, and John Kerry. Arianna Huffington is the editor in chief of The Huffington Post and is also a frequent blogger on the website. While the site has thousands of posts with original content, it also borrows and reposts articles from other outlets in order to drive traffic. In fact, The Huffington Post was one of the first news sites to act as a aggregator for its readers by pulling articles from other publishers to one central website (Sarno, 2011). The site has content sharing partnerships with content providers such as People, Rolling Stone and Yahoo, among many others. In 2011, The Huffington Post agreed to be purchased by AOL Inc. in a $315 million deal that joined the content of both websites together, in what is now called the Huffington Post Media Group (Sarno, 2011). Arianna Huffington serves as president and editor in chief of the new venture. Since the acquisition The Huffington Post has expanded into new countries, such as Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Japan and Germany. In 2012, The Huffington Post was awarded its first Pulitzer Prize and also released a weekly digital magazine called Huffington. In addition, The Huffington Post created an online network called HuffPost Live, which encourages viewer participation. The site continues to draw new users through its multi-channel platforms. The Huffington Post has become one of the most well-known news sites in the world. However, despite the success of the news publisher it must remain aware of competitive intensity of the market. Through the use of the Porter five forces analysis, the company can analyze the current condition of the business and also develop the business strategy in order to stay current in an ever-changing market. The five forces are as follows: the threat of new entrants, threat of substitute products or services, bargaining power of customers, bargaining power of suppliers and intensity of competitive rivalry. When it comes to the threat of new entrants and the threat of substitute products or services, The Huffington Post is deploying a successful defensive strategy. With recent expansions into new countries, as well as the development of new ways to push content to users, the content provider is able to stay ahead of new entrants. In addition, The Huffington Post is an established brand with a large existing pool of customers, which increases its defensive strategy. Also, when AOL purchased The Huffington Post, AOL’s existing customers became members of the new Huffington Post Media Group, which enlarged the customer base and reach. However, because the Internet landscape changes rapidly, The Huffington Post must continue to be innovative in the delivery of their content. As for the bargaining power of the customers and the bargaining power of suppliers, The Huffington Post holds the upper hand. The website content is free to users because the site’s revenue model is based on advertising. However, with the edition of the online magazine Huffington, additional revenue is brought in directly through the customer. In addition, because the site acts as an aggregator of content, the website is able to pick and choose its content suppliers. Additionally, many of the suppliers of  original content are bloggers that chose to write for the site in order to garner more exposure. Therefore, The Huffington Post is able to pick and choose which content to accept from suppliers, rather than being forced to accept everything that is submitted to them. This allows the site to select content that the readers are looking for, which in turn boosts revenue and gives the news outlet more leverage against the competition. These two forces relate to the fifth competitive force, which is the intensity of competitive rivalry. Since the Huffington Post is able to be selective about what type of content it provides, in addition to its sharing partnerships with popular content sites, it is able to succeed in a relatively saturated online news market. The Huffington Post is one the leaders of online publishing. While the site utilizes advertising and subscription as revenue generators, other sites can use one of four or a combination of the four revenue models for online publishers. One revenue model is to build a paywall. A pay wall forces readers to pay for access to online content. Without a subscription, readers only have access to limited posts and features on the website. One example of a successful paywall strategy is the one utilized by The New York Times. The Times implemented a paywall on their website and generated over $100,000 in revenue in a couple of days. One of the downfalls of this strategy is that it limits growth because its limits the ways in which the site can connect with new customers that are not willing to pay for subscriptions. Another revenue model is to turn the online publishing brand into a company and take in investors. This involves creating a popular brand name and then opening the brand up to investors in order to create a company based on the brands existing fan base. An example of a successful execution of this strategy is Penelope Trunk, a blogger who has created four different startups and recently sold her brands to stakeholders in order to generate revenue for herself. This strategy can be extremely profitable but it does involve giving up the sole decision making power. When stakeholders are brought in, the direction of the company becomes dictated by them and their money. Another revenue model is to use an online publishing site as a incubator for other products or services. This model involves promoting a new website, product or service to an existing fan base. Once an online publishing site has become well-known, it can use its readership as leverage to generate income from new companies that are willing to pay for exposure to large existing fan base (Trunk, 2009). An example of this revenue model would The Huffington Post, which utilizes advertisements as the main source of revenue. The fourth revenue model is to go after talent acquisition. This involves the creator of the online publishing site to brand himself or herself as a leader in a certain industry in order to gain the attention of industry professionals that are willing to pay the online publisher in order to gain their expertise (Helft, 2011) A recent example of this was when Sam Lessin, an online developer sold his startup to Facebook. Facebook had no interest in his company; they only wanted Lessin to work for them because he was a well-known computer engineer (Helft, 2011). This example demonstrates how the talent acquisition model works and how it can be lucrative for online publishers. Overall, it’s clear that The Huffington Post has come a long way since its creation in 2005. Through the use of the Porter Five Force Analysis, as well as profitable revenue model for online publishers the website has become a staple in the online news industry. With recent expansions into countries like Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as the merger between The Huffington Post and AOL, it is clear that the company will continue to be a popular source of online content for readers across the world.

Scholarship Essay Topics - Some Tips on Writing One

Scholarship Essay Topics - Some Tips on Writing OneIf you're preparing for college or you are already a college student, then you have probably come across scholarship essay topics. These essays serve a variety of functions in the student's life and some of them are useful in preparing for the admissions process. Scholarship essay topics are very important because they act as a guideline to help guide the writing process and help you formulate an impressive essay.College essays are the last form of expression before an admissions decision is made. They are essentially the most personal part of the application process and can influence your eventual admission decision. Some of the essay topics that are often asked of college students include 'What is it about me that is so special?' or 'What is my opinion about being gay?'Some people go into the process with a preconceived notion about the opinion they want to express and this opinion can be stated within the essay itself. To effectiv ely present an opinion in a short essay requires a skill beyond simply writing what's on their mind. A well-researched opinion can change one's self-image and can greatly influence the student's perceived school choice.The essay topics must not merely fall into one category. Some topics may fall under the style, while others may be a focus of the essay. The goal is to present the student's opinion without focusing so much on the topic itself.Essay topics can be very simple or they can be elaborate. Often the first writing assignment given to college students consists of a long and detailed question with a short answer. Whether the student is expected to include a list of justifications for their opinion or if they have to break down the question into many smaller parts, this task is essential.What do you write in scholarship essay topics? If you have never written one before then you should expect to write about one subject or a combination of topics, though they could be in any ord er you choose. Most writing assignments given in college will include at least a couple of these essay topics.Scholarship essay topics will be broken down into several sections. Most schools will expect that the essay topics are arranged logically.

The Hidden Truth About Rhetorical Argument Essay Topics

The Hidden Truth About Rhetorical Argument Essay Topics Nerdymates, the most dependable essay writing service on the internet, provides a chance to become guaranteed great essay. If you're invested in the subject, you are more inclined to care about the bit of writing. If it's necessary to compose your whole essay in 1 day, do your very best to give yourself breaks so you don't burn out. A rhetorical analysis essay comprises the viewpoint of the author on a specific text. There are invariably a vast range of opinions on the topic of technology, and here are our favourite things to consider on the subject. One of the most typical arguments against providing universal medical care coverage (UHC) is that it's going to cost an excessive amount of money. For instance, you seek the opinion of your dentist the moment it regards the well-being of your gums, and you seek the opinion of your mechanic in regards to the maintenance of your vehicle. You should go into reasons why you'r e apposed to it, which might involve a small research. Having coped with this kind of issue, you can proceed to work on the principal paragraphs. The very first step is to select a great topic for your essay. An argumentative essay requires you to choose a topic and have a position on it. Researching the topic will enable you to find out more about what fascinates you, and should you pick something you really like, writing the essay will be more enjoyable.
