Abstract

Despite the advantages of computerized psychological assessment and the proliferation of assessment software, many psychologists still do not use computerized assessment, and its utilization has not increased during the past decade. Two-hundred-fifty-one APA-accredited training programs in clinical and counseling psychology were surveyed concerning their use of computerized psychological assessment. Directors reported a median of only three computerized tests used in their training programs. Twenty-five percent of the respondents reported no computerized psychological tests in their training programs. The computerized tests most-often used in psychology programs were compared to results of surveys of psychological tests most-often used in clinical practice.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.

Interdisciplinary development of a preconception health curriculum for four medical specialties.

A group of obstetricians and gynecologists, along with physicians from three other medical specialties, nurses, and midwives, developed a curriculum on preconception health care for women. This curriculum was specifically aimed at residents in obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, pediatrics, and family medicine. The curriculum was designed to convince these physicians that they needed to participate in promotion of preconception health for many reasons, such as the need to teach women to take folic acid daily because it significantly decreases the incidence of neural tube defects. Because over 50% of all pregnancies are unplanned, it is imperative that all physicians think of themselves as preconception health providers. Our group then taught the curriculum to medical students, residents, fellows, and attending physicians in all specialties at four hospitals affiliated with the medical college. Evaluation of the curriculum in 171 physicians who participated revealed that only a small percentage of physicians took folic acid daily themselves. Almost 36% of the obstetricians did not currently provide preconception care for their patients. Most physicians in all specialties believed that the curriculum provided them with useful information for their practice. The March of Dimes is currently distributing this curriculum on its Web site.
