Abstract: Introduction: Learning in practical environments consists an essential component of medical education. In recent decades, schools have sought to immerse their students professional settings since the early years studying. these scenarios, preceptors, more experienced physicians, are responsible for supporting development knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Objective: This study aimed an...

As academic clinicians and investigators, it is important to facilitate the training of young investigators and clinicians so they can become knowledgeable, competent, and independent in their careers. This process of mentoring is a form of facilitative learning that has its origins extending thousands of years. It began with the “oral law” or the passing down of knowledge from generation to ge...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explain the role transition process to nurse case managers (NCMs) for Medical-aid beneficiaries in Korea. METHODS Fourteen NCMs were interviewed regarding their experiences of becoming proficient in the new role of case manger. Data were analyzed through the application of grounded theory. RESULTS 'Taking root in a barren land' was the core category ...

On leave of absence from INFN, Sezione di Pisa, Italy ∗ Address after September 1: Department of Physics, New York University, 4 Washington pl., New York, N.Y. 10003 We calculate exactly the rate of pair production of open bosonic and supersymmetric strings in a constant electric field. The rate agrees with Schwinger’s classic result in the weak-field limit, but diverges when the electric field...

BACKGROUND Demonstrating the equivalency between the traditional metro-based clerkships within close proximity to the academic health center and the nontraditional rural preceptorships is important. The University of Minnesota has had a 9-month longitudinal rural elective for third-year medical students for 40 years, the Rural Physician Associate Program (RPAP). In the metro area, traditional s...

We express Maxwell’s equations as a single equation, first using the divergence of a special type of matrix field to obtain the four current, and then the divergence of a special matrix to obtain the Electromagnetic field. These two equations give rise to a remarkable dual set of equations in which the operators become the matrices and the vectors become the fields. The decoupling of the equati...

Questioning is fundamental to student learning. Not only does it enable students to elevate their level of thinking, but in the process it also affords them the opportunity to deal with their world intelligently. The practice setting is an environment rich in opportunity for enabling critical thinking through the use of questioning. In the preceptorship experience, preceptors are in a prime pos...
