Abstract

The movement of undergraduate nursing education from the hospital to tertiary institution in Australia has highlighted the need for nursing to develop curricula that reflect a more rigourous academic basis and the universality of nursing care. This change demands that nursing faculty must articulate a philosophy and concept of nursing upon which to base a curriculum in order to meet present and future needs of society for health care. The faculty in the School of Nursing of Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia has responded to this challenge and is currently in the process of implementing its conceptual model of nursing.

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.
