Grading secondary vocational education students with disabilities: a national perspective.

A nationwide purposive sample of secondary vocational educators completed a questionnaire that examined practices and perceptions toward grading students with disabilities. A variety of grading methods was reportedly used, but over two-thirds of respondents included a competency-based grading component. An overwhelming majority believed that student effort should be used to determine grades. Two-thirds of vocational educators had never been involved in their students' IEP development. The most common changes teachers have made over time in their grading practices included becoming more flexible and individualized in grading. Overall, teachers displayed moderately positive attitudes toward grading students with disabilities.

Interdisciplinary diabetic team in a community hospital.

An interdisciplinary diabetic team which provides inpatient and outpatient diabetic instructional services in a 200-bed community hospital is discussed. The team consists of a pharmacist, a dietitian, and a registered nurse, each of whom is assigned to a specific area of diabetic education. Instructional objectives include coordination of teaching efforts by hospital personnel, standardization of education, and development of evaluation procedures. Upon notification of a physician request for diabetic team services, a form which contains competency-based instructional objectives and patient referral questions is placed in the patient's chart. Diabetic instruction may then be initiated by ward personnel or a member of the diabetic team. Outpatient classes are offered for those who desire or require additional or indepth instruction.

Nursing education in the United Arab Emirates.

This paper reviews the development of the nursing manpower situation in the United Arab Emirates, with particular emphasis on the trends and currents that have had an impact on the national school of nursing in Abu Dhabi, in the last decade. Special attention is placed on the design of the nursing curriculum. This is based on a framework of core concepts derived from a philosophy relating to man, health and nursing. A competency-based model, designed for three levels of nursing personnel, each with well defined responsibilities, is presented along with an educational and professional career ladder for nurses in the United Arab Emirates. A phased implementation of the proposed system of nursing education is undertaken, with the first phase nearing completion. Preparations are well underway to initiate the second phase of nursing education, that has been successfully implemented earlier in the state of Bahrain.

Providing for the severely handicapped: a case for competency-based preparation of occupational therapists.

Recent court decisions that mandate the development of new instructional alternatives for severely handicapped children will have significant implications for occupational therapists. Focusing on such issues as mainstreaming, accountability, and certification standards, this paper places in perspective the problems and trends that have led to this new challenge. It also provides suggestions for the development and disposition of training programs that can ultimately result in more appropriate programming for the handicapped children in the new population to be served in the public schools. Illustrated with examples of competency components and behavioral objectives, competency-based occupational therapy preparation programs are emphasized.

Child development and disability: competency-based clerkship.

The training of medical students in the subject of mental retardation is important in broadening the physician's role in dealing with chronic disability. A competency-based training model is presented which specifies competencies, achievement methods, and evaluation procedures for a clerkship. The focus for training is on developing practical skills and a positive orientation toward developmental problems. Evaluative measures for 12 students rotating through the clerkship showed positive knowledge and attitude changes. Competency-based training is recommended as a model for preparing physicians to serve as advocates and resources for persons with chronic conditions.

A strategy to teach medical decision making within a medical school curriculum.

One of the goals of our medical school is to teach our students how to learn. In theory, this is a noble goal, but, in practice, our style is often to "impart" our knowledge to the students without allowing them to question it, to practice with it, and to really understand it. To address this problem, we are developing a vertically integrated four-year program in medical decision making funded by the Culpeper Foundation. The curriculum begins with classic epidemiology in year one. In year-two courses, principles of clinical epidemiology (diagnosis, variability, etc) and the elements of quantitative decision making are woven into our organ system courses. In year three, these skills are practiced in clerkships, and critical thinking sessions occur in several clerkships. The curriculum culminates in year four with sessions on expected value decision analysis in one of our required courses. Built into this experience are computer interactive programs, faculty and housestaff development sessions, and availability of consultation from a medical decision making team. We are developing competency-based exams in which students will have to demonstrate skills in medical decision making, critical thinking, and problem solving. We hope this will help teach our students "how to" make decisions and understand such things as critical thinking, probability, uncertainty, and variability. Through this, we hope the decisions they will help their patients make will lead to the "best" outcomes for these patients.

Evolution of a Family Nurse Practitioner Program to improve primary care distribution.

The Family Nurse Practitioner Program of the Univeristy of California, Davis, has effectively improved the distribution of primary health care manpower in medically underserved areas. This has been accomplished by selecting students, preceptors, and faculty from areas of need; decentralizing the clinical and didactic training sites; developing a competency-based, portable curriculum; and coordinating it all with a circuit-riding, institutionally based faculty.

Using a competency-based program to assess interviewing skills of pediatric house staff.

A program has been initiated to assess objectively the interviewing skills of pediatric house staff. Each entering house staff member interviews and is evaluated by a nonphysician mother who presents the medical history of her child. Remedial instruction is provided for all who do not perform in accordance with established minimum criteria. As a result of this competency-based program, all house staff members are now known to have attained at least a minimum level of competence in interviewing technique.

Guidelines for competency-based instruction in psychiatry.

This paper presents guidelines for teachers who wish to design competency-based instructional activities in psychiatry. Developed over a 3 year period, these guidelines outline the methods used by teachers to construct competency-based seminars and clinical rotations. The guidelines describe the process of stating knowledge objectives, performance objectives and experiential objectives for psychiatric trainees to attain prior to completion of training in a given area. Selection of appropriate teaching strategies as well as criteria and conditions for assessment of the residents' abilities are also reviewed. Comments regarding the authors' experience using these guidelines with teachers are offered.

Second skill educational development of personnel for a single-room maternity care system.

A modified cross-training approach was used to train nurses for a single-room maternity care unit. This cross-training program included development of a skills list for the labor/delivery and nursery/postpartum areas and an instruction program including formal lectures, independent study, and clinical experience. The clinical part of the program was a preceptor-based experience. The results of this program indicated that competency-based skills and objective selection criteria are mandatory for a successful cross-training program.

Strategies for integrating clinical preventive medicine into family medicine clerkships.

The value of integrating preventive medicine into primary care is widely accepted, although practical teaching methods to model this integration into medical student clerkships are not well developed. This paper reports on a competency-based clinical preventive medicine curriculum developed within an existing family medicine clinical clerkship. Evaluation of the curriculum during its first full year of implementation shows that students can significantly improve their perceived levels of competence in discussing specific healthy behaviors and risk factors as well as their fund of knowledge in preventive medicine content areas. However, the greatest effect of the curriculum was on increasing students' knowledge of basic health promotion concepts. Results from this clerkship suggest that collaborative efforts to integrate clinical preventive medicine into primary care education and to support the teaching of health promotion and disease prevention in clinical clerkships can be successful.
