Seizure response dogs: Evaluation of a formal training program

Development of singing ability in children is well documented and frequently fraught with admonitions to postpone formal training until the age of 17 or 18 years for boys and 16 years for girls, when voice change is usually complete and the risk for damaging developing structures is minimal. The author contends that the interval of voice mutation, a time of rapid physical change, is precisely the period when the young singer should pursue human musical instrument training under tutelage of singing teachers knowledgeable and experienced in the training techniques described herein and with the guidance of an otorhinolaryngologist to evaluate and monitor fitness. Voice mutation is viewed as a natural process of maturation, which can be enhanced by a formal training program.

Formal Training Program

Traditional management training has often been too expensive or too poorly designed to be a credible vehicle for improving managerial skills and agency performance. The Senior Managers Program of the U.S. Department of Education offers an alternative. The year-long program integrates training with on-the-job application of skills to provide both a more effective learning environment and immediate results to demonstrate the value of the training. Each training workshop is followed by a planned and monitored intervention in the participant's work unit, and teams of participants work on significant agency problems identified by high-level officials. In addition to this novel approach to linking training with organizational change, the program seeks to develop a managerial support network to promote continued growth and agency improvement after the formal training program ends.

AbstractPurposeThis study examined the effectiveness of a formal postdoctoral education program designed to teach skills in clinical and translational science, using scholar publication rates as a measure of research productivity.MethodParticipants included 70 clinical fellows who were admitted to a master’s or certificate training program in clinical and translational science from 1999 to 2015 and 70 matched control peers. The primary outcomes were the number of publications 5 years post-fellowship matriculation and time to publishing 15 peer-reviewed manuscripts post-matriculation.ResultsClinical and translational science program graduates published significantly more peer-reviewed manuscripts at 5 years post-matriculation (median 8 vs 5, p=0.041) and had a faster time to publication of 15 peer-reviewed manuscripts (matched hazard ratio = 2.91, p=0.002). Additionally, program graduates’ publications yielded a significantly higher average H-index (11 vs. 7, p=0.013).ConclusionThese findings support the effectiveness of formal training programs in clinical and translational science by increasing academic productivity.
