Abstract

During the past 10 years, there has been an explosion in the number of new accelerated Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs. Declining enrollments in undergraduate nursing programs and the nursing workforce shortage created the impetus for this trend. In the past 2 years, baccalaureate nursing enrollments have begun to increase again and many nursing programs now struggle with a faculty shortage; however, starting an accelerated BSN program still presents an opportunity. That opportunity comes from the quality of students these programs attract.

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.
