Applied Research Consultants (ARC): A Vertical Practicum Model of Training Applied ResearchEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The demand for highly trained evaluation consultants is increasing.

Applied Research Consultants (ARC) is a 2-year vertical practicum conceptually built around a student-run consulting firm. ARC provides opportunities for graduate students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world situations,...

Interns' knowledge of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics after undergraduate and on-going internship training in NigeriaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Undergraduate CPT teaching in Nigeria appears to be deficient. Principles of rational prescribing, drug dose calculation in children and pharmacovigilance should be the focus of undergraduate CPT teaching and should be taught both theoretically and practically. Medical students and interns should be periodically assessed on prescribing knowledge and skills during their training as a means of minimizing prescribing errors. (Source: BioMed Central)

Reforming Procedural Skills Training for Pediatric Residents: A Randomized, Interventional TrialEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants in the intervention group were more successful performing certain simulated procedures than controls when tested immediately after receiving the curriculum but demonstrated declining skills thereafter.
