Residency curriculum issues in geriatrics training.

Abstract

Development of a satisfactory geriatrics curriculum in a family practice residency requires realistic planning in light of the residency's resources and integration of geriatrics training activities into a comprehensive system of monitoring residents' educational needs and accomplishments. This paper, drawing on principles of curriculum design and quality improvement, proposes that: 1) goals and objectives define the scope of training; 2) instructional flexibility is essential; 3) evaluation drives the system; 4) residents deserve individualized educational care; and 5) faculty deserve educational skill development.

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.
