Osteopathic postdoctoral education.

Osteopathic postdoctoral education is still in transition. With a projected modest decline in the number of graduates and continued increase in the number of intern positions, the profession can now accommodate all graduates in osteopathic internships. Changes have been made in the intern program curriculum and in procedures for approval of residency training to be more responsive to the current healthcare environment and needs of osteopathic graduates. The AOA Department of Education will continue to monitor and report on the impact of these changes.

Collective coping with stress: group reactions to fear, anxiety, and ambiguity.

A review of studies examining the fear-affiliation relationship revealed that none had ever observed groups in interaction while awaiting a fearful event. It was predicted that such groups would, consistent with individual member's previously studied affiliative preferences, spend more time interacting in the service of social comparison needs than would groups facing anxiety or ambiguity. This prediction was strongly supported, and in addition, it was found, as expected, that groups in the fear condition developed a relatively high degree of cohesiveness as measured by intragroup attraction ratings. The implication of these results for the interpretation of the functional relationship between stress and cohesiveness was discussed.
