The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has recognized the importance of residents understanding charting and coding by promoting educational activities involving charting and coding in the core competency “system-based practice (SBP).” 1 Competency in SBP requires that residents “demonstrate an awareness of and a responsiveness to the larger context and system of health care.” 2 Despite this including charting and coding skills, numerous studies suggest...

The Van Andel Institute Graduate School in Grand Rapids, MI, was founded in 2005 as a doctorate training program housed within an independent biomedical research institute. The school’s mission is to train future leaders in the cellular, molecular and genetic biology of human disease, with an emphasis on translating such research into effective clinical applications. The principles underlying the new doctorate program’s design are consistent with those arising from the Carnegie In...

Setting the Standard for Project Based Learning (PjBL) is both the title and intention of the book authored by John Larmer, John Mergendollar, and Suzie Boss. Their subtitle claims that PjBL is “a proven approach to rigorous classroom instruction.” This is supported by a chapter devoted to reviewing PjBL research, followed by chapters on designing, managing, and leading PjBL. At the outset, Larmer, Mergendollar, and Boss list the benefits of PjBL for students, teachers, and admi...

Background: The Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT) has been widely used to evaluate neurocognitive functions in various clinical groups with a broad range of ages. However, despite its usefulness, the scoring method is as complex as the

Faculties globally are faced with determining how to develop academic curriculum and present course materials so that students not only gain knowledge of the discipline, but also become self-directed learners who develop relevant skills they can apply in their future careers. The broad-based method as educational practice takes a holistic and comprehensive approach to teaching and learning. Broad based methods do not agree with the assumption that various important aspects of benefits ...

Fatigue durability and inspection planning have long been important issues in the design and scheduled inspection of welded offshore structures. For welded structures subjected to cyclic repetitive loading, the admissible stresses in the vicinity of welded joints are relatively low due to the joints vulnerability to fatigue damage. Usually, structures have to be designed for a finite life with an accepted probability of failure based on the S–N approach. Hence, cracks may propagate and be...

The support vector machine (SVM) method is, in its origin, binary. It is based on the principle of separation between the samples of tow classes, one positive and one negative. In this form, the SVM method is very successful in several areas of application given the precision it offers. In practice, we find more applications with multi-class problems, hence the need to extend the binary model to meet multi-class problems. Existing methods currently try mainly to optimize two phases: a trai...

Nowadays, there is a fast growing use of information technology (IT) in education where Higher Education Institutions are, to a certain extent, responsible for opening new frontiers by accepting new challenges and foreseeing the future. In the last decade, Higher Education in general has experienced profound changes mainly driven by IT, which includes not only the pedagogical processes, but also management and administrative processes that became totally dependent on computers,...

INTRODUCTION There is a prevalent issue nowadays that learners of science and engineering lack the professional understanding and abilities of communication between parts and devices. Students cannot exercise and obtain data with the theory and research methods. Among some technical colleges, these issues are becoming more prominent. [1] The e-learning environment is seen as a significant resource for helping ancient traditional formats of learning and transforming the nature of educa...

The unexpected arrival of COVID-19 pandemic has forced a massive shift in nursing education [1]. In order to continue the teaching and learning while complying with prevention and control guidelines and recommendations issued by World Health Organization (WHO) and government agencies, many educational institutions relocated from traditional face-to-face to virtual teaching and learning environments [2]. Fortunately, the positive acceptance and attitude towards online education in...
