Summary
Offices of Academic Affairs (OAAs) are crucial for professional identity formation (PIF) in pharmacy education. OAAs can enhance PIF through curriculum, leadership, professional development, student support, and accreditation.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Higher Education Administration
Background:
- Offices of Academic Affairs (OAAs) are integral to professional identity formation (PIF).
- Their roles often overlap with other university departments, impacting student PIF.
- Variations exist in OAA size, structure, and responsibilities across institutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine how OAAs contribute to the PIF of students, faculty, preceptors, and staff in Doctor of Pharmacy programs.
- To identify key areas where OAAs can positively influence student PIF.
- To provide a framework for OAAs to develop, refine, and assess PIF initiatives.
Main Methods:
- A commentary synthesizing literature and professional experiences of academic affairs deans.
- Analysis of OAA roles and their impact on student PIF.
- Identification of 5 core focus areas for OAA engagement in PIF.
Main Results:
- Five key focus areas for OAAs to impact PIF were identified: curriculum design, delivery, and operations; leadership; professional development; student support and progression; and accreditation.
- OAAs can shape PIF through intentional strategies within these areas.
- Collaboration between OAA personnel and other university units is essential.
Conclusions:
- OAAs play a vital role in shaping professional identity within pharmacy education.
- Strategic implementation of PIF initiatives across the 5 focus areas can enhance student outcomes.
- Developing graduates with increased self-awareness, confidence, and leadership skills is achievable through focused OAA efforts.

01:42Phosphoinositides and PIPs
8.5K
Phosphoinositides are a group of phospholipids containing a glycerol backbone with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate attached to a myoinositol sugar ring. The inositol head group extends into the cytoplasm, where it is modified by adding phosphate groups to form phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs.
Different phosphoinositides are synthesized and recruited on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The localization of specific phosphoinositides concentrated in separate membrane...

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

The Buckingham Pi theorem is a valuable method in dimensional analysis, reducing complex relationships between variables into dimensionless terms. Relevant variables in analyzing the lift force on an airplane wing include lift force, air density, wing area, aircraft velocity, and air viscosity. Expressing each variable in terms of fundamental dimensions — mass, length, and time — provides a consistent foundation for constructing these dimensionless terms.

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

12.5K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...
