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.

Tobacco dependence curricula in US undergraduate medical education.

CONTEXT: Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. And yet only 21% of practicing physicians claim they received adequate training to help their patients stop smoking. OBJECTIVE: To assess the content and extent of tobacco education and intervention skills in US medical schools' curricula. DESIGN: A survey with 13 multiple-response items on tobacco education. Survey questions were based on the recommendations of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and the National Cancer Institute Expert Panel. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education included 4 of these items in a modified form on the 1997 annual questionnaire. SETTING: One hundred twenty-six US medical schools. PARTICIPANTS: Surveys were obtained from 122 associate deans for medical education (98.6%). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Curriculum content in basic science and clinical science, elective or required clinical experience, hours of instruction, and resource materials. RESULTS: Inclusion of all 6 tobacco curricula content areas recommended by the National Cancer Institute and the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research was higher in basic science (63/115 [54.8%]) than in clinical science (5/115 [4.4%]). Most medical schools (83/120 [69.2%]) did not require clinical training in smoking cessation techniques, while 23.5% (27/115) offered additional experience as an elective course. Thirty-one percent (32/102) of schools averaged less than 1 hour of instruction per year in smoking cessation techniques during the 4 years of medical school. A minority of schools reported 3 or more hours of clinical smoking cessation instruction in the third (14.7%) and fourth (4.9%) years. CONCLUSIONS: A majority of US medical school graduates are not adequately trained to treat nicotine dependence. The major deficit is the lack of smoking cessation instruction and evaluation in the clinical years. A model core tobacco curricula that meets national recommendations should be developed and implemented in all US medical schools.
