The Unintentional Effects on Body Donation Programs of a Competency-Based Curriculum in Postgraduate Medical Education

As medical programs place increasing importance on competency-based training and surgical simulations for residents, anatomy laboratories, and body donation programs find themselves in a position of adapting to changing demands. To better assess the demand for “life-like” cadaveric specimens and evaluate the possible impacts that competency-based medical education could have upon the body donation program of McGill University, Canada, the authors tracked, over the course of the last 10 years, the number of soft-embalmed specimens, along with the number of teaching sessions and the residents enrolled in competency-based programs that are using cadaveric material. The results reveal that the number of soft-embalmed specimens used within residency training increased from 5 in 2009 to 35 in 2019, representing an increase from 6% of bodies to 36.5% of the total number of body donors embalmed in this institution. Correspondingly, the number of annual teaching sessions for residents increased from 19 in 2012 to 116 in 2019. These increases in teaching are correlated with increasing number of residents enrolled in competency-based programs over the last 3 years (Pearson r ranging from 0.9705 to 0.9903, and R² ranging from 0.9418 to 0.9808). Those results suggest that the new skill-centered curricula which require residents to perform specific tasks within realistic settings, exhibit a growing demand for “life-like” cadaveric specimens. Institutions’ body donation programs must, therefore, adapt to those greater need for cadaveric specimens, which presents many challenges, ranging from the logistical to the ethical.     

Analyzing Food Science Research for Publishing Characteristics as a Model for Understanding the Needs of Researchers

Abstract

This paper provides a methodology to study the characteristics of the research output from a university department. The faculty publications and their cited references over a 10-year period were used as the basis for this study to identify their publishing patterns and the types of material they are publishing; a core set of journals and other resources they are publishing in and citing over this period; the characteristics of the journals in which they publish and cite; the degree of openness of their publications and their citation advantage; and the age of resources that are referenced.

对《全国普通高等学校体育课程教学指导纲要》的理性认识

《全国普通高等学校体育课程教学指导纲要》是对我国高校体育课程长期以来建设经验和教学改革成果的提炼与总结，通篇贯穿了“以人为本，健康第一”这条主线，体现了“素质教育”和“终身体育”的指导思想，注重理论与实践的结合。原则性与灵活性的统一，具有很强的针对性和指导作用．但目前人们对《纲要》仍然存在许多认识上的误区和理解上的偏差，严重阻碍《纲要》的贯彻实施，本文从课程性质、课程目标及实现目标的基本途径三个方面对强纲要》进行理性认识，以期赢得广大同仁的强烈共鸣，为《纲要》在全国普通高等学校中顺利施行打下坚实的理论基础。     

论体育课程的教学价值与实现

通过文献资料法、逻辑分析法等方法对体育课程教学过程中的价值与实现问题进行了探讨，认为体育教育的价值主要通过体育课程的教学活动来实现，体育教学过程中价值主客体属性具有动态性、多元性特点，体育课程的教学活动应充分满足教师、学生、社会各方的价值需要，并使之统一在同一教学过程中，才能达到体育课程教学价值的最大化。
