The pharmacist practitioner training program.

Abstract

Since 1973, the Indian Health Service has been training pharmacists to provide primary care to patients in an expanded role, including the compilation of complete medical histories, physical examination, diagnosis, and treatment of outpatients with selected acute and chronic illnesses. This article discusses the evolution of the Pharmacist Practitioner Training Program, the training and experience received through this program, and the utilization of graduates in the clinical setting.

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.
