Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

5.1K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Growth versus Fixed Mindset

29
Carol Dweck introduced the term mindset to describe individuals' beliefs about their intellectual and personal capabilities. These beliefs significantly influence psychological processes such as motivation, goal-setting, and perseverance, ultimately shaping academic and life outcomes. Individuals generally possess one of two mindsets- a fixed or a growth mindset—each promoting different responses to success, failure, and challenge.Fixed vs. Growth MindsetA fixed mindset assumes that one's...

The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

5.2K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Long-term Potentiation01:35

Long-term Potentiation

56.4K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Vygotsky's Cognitive Development in Cultural Context01:22

Vygotsky's Cognitive Development in Cultural Context

313
Lev Vygotsky, a pioneering Russian psychologist, developed a theory of cognitive development that centers on the influence of social and cultural factors. Unlike Jean Piaget, who emphasized the child's direct interaction with the physical world as key to development, Vygotsky argued that cognitive growth is an interpersonal process that unfolds within a cultural context. For Vygotsky, a child's learning cannot be separated from their social environment, which includes the values,...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.5K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research training
  • Postdoctoral professional development
  • Higher education pedagogy

Background:

  • National reports highlight professional development as crucial for postdoctoral readiness.
  • Existing transferable skills workshops for postdocs often lack structure and outcome assessment beyond satisfaction.
  • Critical gaps exist in evaluating the effectiveness of postdoctoral training programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the lack of structured programming and outcome assessment in postdoctoral training.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a co-designed, structured professional development program for postdocs.
  • To compare perceived knowledge and growth in participants versus a control group.

Main Methods:

  • Developed and implemented a structured program, You3 (You, Your Team, Your Project), focusing on management and leadership skills.
  • Co-designed the You3 program with postdoctoral fellows to ensure relevance.
  • Assessed outcomes by comparing self-rated knowledge and growth in participants against a control group of non-participants.

Main Results:

  • You3 participants reported significantly greater growth in targeted competencies compared to non-participants.
  • This enhanced growth was observed across multiple assessment criteria, including self-reporting and associative analysis.
  • Participants in the You3 program demonstrated greater knowledge in 75% of the program modules compared to the control group.

Conclusions:

  • Structured learning programs, like You3, with a cohort-based curriculum, yield positive outcomes for postdoctoral trainees.
  • The You3 program provides a successful framework for rigorously assessing the impact of professional development initiatives.
  • Implementing structured, cohort-based training can enhance research independence and professional readiness for postdocs.
