Abstract

In 1975 the faculty of the University of Washington School of Dentistry, in conjunction with the College of Education and the affiliated Children's Orthopedic Hospital and Medical Center, developed a 36-month formal teacher education program in combination with joint specialty training in pedodontics and orthodontics. The program goal was to produce a professional dental educator/administrator who could function primarily in the teaching and practice of child and adolescent comprehensive care. After four years and three graduates, the faculty terminated this program. This paper outlines the rationale and structure of the original program and discusses the reasons for its termination.

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.

Are ethical topics in epidemiology included in the graduate epidemiology curricula?

The objective of this study was to evaluate, via a mail questionnaire, the extent to which topics in epidemiology are included in the graduate epidemiology curricula in departments of epidemiology within the 24 US schools of public health. Responses from 101 faculty (79% of faculty queried) indicated that 86% believed that education concerning ethical issues in epidemiologic research should be included in the curriculum. Topics included most frequently are ethical issues concerning protection of human subjects, clinical trials, screening programs, and use/abuse of data. The most common mode of presenting these topics is through one-on-one mentoring or through seminars.
