BACKGROUND The relevance of Public Health Genomics (PHG) education among public health specialists has been recently acknowledged by the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region. The aim of this cross-sectional survey was to assess the prevalence of post-graduate public health schools for medical doctors which offer PHG training in Italy. METHODS The directors of the 33 ...

Six tests of nonverbal communication skills were investigated in an attempt to improve prediction of success for psychologists and counselors. The subjects were graduate students at two different schools; the criterion variables were faculty members' judgments of the students' academic work, interpersonal rela tions, personal characteristics, and "predicted effectiveness" in the profession. Fac...

The concept of wave propagation and the interaction of waves with matter is pivotal in many fields of physics and engineering (e. g. radio transmission, optics, sound propagation, transmission of information in waveguides...). Therefore wave propagation plays a central role in teaching physics, electrical engineering, information technology etc. from the undergraduate level (undergratuate engin...

This project responds to the need to identify the knowledge, skills, and expertise required by health sciences librarians in the future and to devise mechanisms for providing this requisite training. The approach involves interdisciplinary multiinstitutional alliances with collaborators drawn from two graduate schools of library and information science (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaig...

CONTEXT In the emerging Learning Health System (LHS), the application and generation of medical knowledge are a natural outgrowth of patient care. Achieving this ideal requires a physician workforce adept in information systems, quality improvement methods, and systems-based practice to be able to use existing data to inform future care. These skills are not currently taught in medical school o...

I dare say that a total of 72 graduate school and medical school classes over the past 31/2 years, since beginning the M.D.-Ph.D., Program has rendered me qualified to comment on upper-level science education. During that time I have been taught by every technique ever invented, and my performance has been evaluated in every way imaginable. The good news is that, for the most part, my teachers ...
