Mentorship: a successful tool for recruitment, recognition, and advancement.

Mentoring is a valuable tool for recruitment, retention, and staff personal satisfaction in these chaotic times. Effective staffing of health-care laboratories has become increasingly difficult as decreased numbers of qualified medical technologists graduate from medical technology programs. Laboratory managers experience loss of valuable, seasoned employees as those workers pursue fields other than the laboratory. Mentorships to assist young people in making clinical laboratory science career choices can help to expand the number of medical technologists entering the job market. Mentorships to expand the abilities of experienced technologists and to afford opportunities for advancement can enhance job satisfaction and retention.

The University of Missouri Rural Obstetric Network: creating rural obstetric training sites for a university-based residency program.

This paper describes a rural obstetric experience that was developed for a university-based family practice residency program and designed to increase the number of deliveries per resident, the number of graduates practicing in rural areas, and the number of graduates doing obstetrics. Rural hospitals can be a source of deliveries for residency training programs. This rural obstetric experience also offers more training months in a rural setting and more months training with family physicians.

Characteristics of caregivers that promote children's development in day care.

Most available evidence on day care suggests that characteristics of the caregiver are the key components of high-quality child care. Yet, this fact is rarely appreciated by parents or policy makers. As primary health care providers, nurses can educate parents, caregivers, and policy-makers concerning the broad array of day-care features, including caregiver characteristics that should be considered. This article provides a review of the research on characteristics of caregivers that are found in high-quality day care and describes how these factors facilitate optimal development in young children. From the research findings, implications for nursing practice at the family, community, and national levels are identified.

The Rural Physician Associate Program: new directions in education for competency.

The Rural Physician Associate Program (RPAP) has 34 years experience in training 1097 medical students as independent distance learners in a 36 week, community-based continuity primary care experience. This program has been successful in preparing competitive students who select primary care residencies and return to rural practice. The RPAP program has been based on traditional apprentice-style clinical teaching with the support of computer-based resources to enhance distance learning. However while the clinical exposure and development of medical skills was strong, there were weaknesses in evidence-based medicine and managing healthcare, and inconsistencies in community or population health learning. New directions in the educational program for RPAP are described that have been or are being developed to address the competencies as outlined by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education. They include online and other resources, preceptor education and support, interactive journaling and cases, electronic portfolios, community projects, observed structured clinical exams and examinations. Ongoing challenges to competency-based education include developing meaningful measures and tools to assess competence for areas such as professionalism or systems-based practice; providing faculty development toward being able to practice, teach and evaluate students with an understanding of the competencies; and to build in ways of practicing, learning and improving care that involve effective teams of health-care professionals.

Retaining valued midwives.

In a Delphi study of 42 experienced midwives at an NHS Trust in south-east England, it was established that leadership issues were at the centre of what encouraged practitioners to continue in post. Central to midwives' interest was the equitable management of off-duty/leave arrangements, opportunities to influence practice and protocol decision-making, feeling stimulated, valued and challenged as a practitioner, receiving professional development support and working with senior midwives who proved effective role models. Beyond reward opportunities associated with Agenda for Change or other initiatives, it is argued that midwifery managers have a key opportunity to influence the employment experience of midwives and enhance retention of staff by actively engaging in the above activities.

Vignettes: Diverse library staff offering diverse bioinformatics services.

OBJECTIVES: The paper gives examples of the bioinformatics services provided in a variety of different libraries by librarians with a broad range of educational background and training. METHODS: Two investigators sent an email inquiry to attendees of the "National Center for Biotechnology Information's (NCBI) Introduction to Molecular Biology Information Resources" or "NCBI Advanced Workshop for Bioinformatics Information Specialists (NAWBIS)" courses. The thirty-five-item questionnaire addressed areas such as educational background, library setting, types and numbers of users served, and bioinformatics training and support services provided. Answers were compiled into program vignettes. DISCUSSION: The bioinformatics support services addressed in the paper are based in libraries with academic and clinical settings. Services have been established through different means: in collaboration with biology faculty as part of formal courses, through teaching workshops in the library, through one-on-one consultations, and by other methods. Librarians with backgrounds from art history to doctoral degrees in genetics have worked to establish these programs. CONCLUSION: Successful bioinformatics support programs can be established in libraries in a variety of different settings and by staff with a variety of different backgrounds and approaches.

Evaluation of staff development services in extended care facilities.

An evaluation research survey that focuses on educational services offered in a staff development department at a corporation of extended care facilities is discussed. Each facility was queired regarding existing inservice programs, including the use of evaluation tools. A response rate of 100% was achieved. No evaluation instrument was used for 72% of the inservice education programs offered. The data indicate the need for comprehensive and consistent program and learner evaluation.
