Summary
Revised core competencies for health services research (HSR) doctoral programs were developed. These updated competencies guide HSR professionals in addressing complex research and evolving field needs.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research (HSR)
- Doctoral Education
- Research Competencies
Background:
- Original HSR core competencies established in 2005.
- Competencies underwent revisions in 2008 and 2016.
- Current revision (V2.1) incorporates extensive feedback from stakeholders.
Purpose of the Study:
- Present revised core competencies for doctoral programs in Health Services Research (HSR).
- Identify effective modalities for delivering these competencies.
- Suggest methods for assessing mastery of HSR competencies.
Main Methods:
- Iterative revision process based on feedback.
- Incorporated input from doctoral program directors.
- Gathered insights from employer/workforce experts and conference attendees.
Main Results:
- Current competencies (V2.1) cover ethical research, conceptual models, question development, study design, data methods, statistical analysis, collaboration, and dissemination.
- These competencies are crucial for addressing complex, multi-system research in HSR.
- Opportunities exist to evaluate new delivery methods and integrate Learning Health System competencies.
Conclusions:
- HSR core competencies are dynamic and require continuous evolution.
- New research questions, methods, and the trans-disciplinary nature necessitate ongoing updates.
- Adaptability in competencies ensures HSR professionals meet evolving workforce demands.

02:10The Nucleosome Core Particle
14.6K
Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

01:21Health Literacy
5.4K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...
