Doctors and administrators. A joint experiment.

Abstract

A course is described in which doctors in the training grades and health-service administration undertook a joint educational exercise to learn more about health care and the roles and interrelationships of the various professional groups. By sharing an educational enviroment, two professions which are frequently in conflict may realise each other's purpose and difficulties and perhaps work more harmoniously to a common aim.

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.
