Background:Evidence exists for a relationship between individual characteristics and both job and training performance; however relationships may not be generalizable. Little is known about the impact of therapist characteristics on performance in postgraduate therapist training programmes.Aims:The aim of this study was to investigate associations between the grades of trainee Low-Intensity and High-Intensity cognitive behavioural therapists and individual characteristics.Method:Trainee Low-Intensity (n= 81) and High-Intensity (n= 59) therapists completed measures of personality and cognitive ability; demographic and course grade data for participants were collected.Results:Degree classification emerged as the only variable to be significantly associated with performance across assessments and courses. Higher undergraduate degree classifications were associated with superior academic and clinical performance. Agreeableness was the only dimension of personality to be associated (positively) with clinical skill. Age was weakly and negatively associated with performance.Conclusions:Relationships between individual characteristics and training outcomes are complex and may be context specific. These results could have important implications for the selection and development of therapists for Low or High-Intensity cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) training.

Abstract The Anatomage Table was originally marketed to medical schools as an anatomical training tool and to hospitals for preoperative planning. When Medtronic employees began to understand the power of the Anatomage Table for product development and data analysis, the uniqueness of how the table was utilized led to its many valuable contributions. The Anatomage Table has significantly reduced product development time with its ability to immediately render anatomical models in a way that allows the development team to evaluate outcomes and react with clear direction. It also reduces cognitive load for the users thereby expediting the interpretive process. The technology has become a tool to enhance research and training outcomes. This paper serves as an example to stimulate the use of this type of technology in similar applications. Hard data originating from controlled studies are not provided in this report due to the technology’s early use at Medtronic and the proprietary nature of the development processes on which the technology was used.

AbstractMedical education and training are becoming more complex endeavors as technological and research advancements lead to new tools and methods to care for patients. In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in medical education to competency-based assessments. Another important recent development in medical education has been the increasing use of simulation-based learning for procedural training. Interventional pulmonology (IP) is a relatively young and rapidly evolving procedural-based subspecialty. There are several well-validated competency-based assessment tools available to measure training adequacy in many of the most commonly performed procedures in IP. These tools have been shown to improve learning curves and training outcomes. The extent of how widely these tools are being used in clinical and educational spheres, however, remains unclear. Moreover, several commonly performed procedures in IP have no or limited validation tools currently available. Standardized training using simulation has also been shown to lead to positive training outcomes as compared with more traditional training models. However, widespread adoption of simulators has been limited due to the cost and availability.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to determine whether any personality characteristics, as measured by the Holland Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI), influenced the efficacy of the Jobclub programme. The study used 25 voluntary subjects to assess the relationship between personality profiles and training outcomes, in order to determine whether certain personality factors predisposed subject receptiveness to training success. The results indicated that no relationship existed between personality profiles, as measured by the VPI, and outcomes to the Jobclub training programme. The implications of this finding is that programmes that employ techniques used by Jobclub can be applied in a wide variety of situations, such as in schools or among specifically targeted populations.

This paper explores the impact of a neurosequential brain development approach on employment, education and training outcomes of vulnerable long-term unemployed youth, aged 15-24 years. The Empowering Youth to Thrive (EYTT) program utilises neuroscience research, which underpin varied creative and sensory and regulatory experiences used to engage youth in social and emotional learning. The aim is to enhance brain pathways to increase youth’s higher order thinking functions such as problem solving, communication and critical thinking skills. These are considered necessary attributes for positive engagement in the current and future workforce. A bricolage methodology was used to evaluate the impact of the program, with findings determining the EYTT program had benefits for participants in gaining successful training, education and/or employment opportunities.
