Molecular tests without well-defined test performance characteristics are increasingly available for diagnosis of infectious diseases. These tests present a diagnostic stewardship challenge for institutions. We share the results of a local modified Delphi consensus undertaken to define appropriate scenarios for use of plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing.
In the last quarter of 1987-88, 95 second- and third-year geriatrics fellows were surveyed to examine their perceptions of the quality of research training available through their programs. A three-phase Delphi survey method was used, with the numbers of individuals responding per phase ranging from 58 (61%) to 68 (72%). The responses were clustered in five areas by means of factor analysis using a varimax rotation procedure. The fellows perceived their research training to be inadequate, primarily due to insufficient time for research activities and to inadequate exposure to research-qualified scientists. The authors conclude that although the fellows strongly supported the notion of a research-focused third fellowship year, implementing such a plan may be futile if new resources are not made available.
With the developments of new academic courses in nursing comes the need for a debate about educational levels. This paper offers a discussion of some of the issues involved in such a debate and draws upon data collected from professors of nursing in the United Kingdom, masters students in a Dutch college and from the American literature on the topic. The need to be able to distinguish between diploma, bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees is highlighted and various suggestions about how such distinctions may be made are offered.
