Aim: The appropriate use and integration of pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing will pivot on provider preparation and training. Pharmacists have been recognized as one of the key providers in the delivery of PGx testing and as such, professional organizations have recommended inclusion of PGx content in pharmacy curricula. Methods: We reviewed the curriculum of 132 US pharmacy schools for information about PGx courses. Results: A total of 70 core curriculum courses were identified. 55 (42%) pharmacy schools included at least one PGx course as part of the core curriculum, and ten (8%) schools that offered a PGx course elective. Conclusion: While many pharmacy schools have responded to the accreditation standards to include PGx, less than half of the schools have developed a standalone course.

The rapid growth of tourism in Hungary and the labour migration to abroad resulted in a serious labour shortage in the industry. One of the sources of skilled and motivated workforce is the system of tourism vocational education and training, which can just slowly react to market changes due to its inertness. In addition, the highly centralized system provides low-level of freedom to respond to regional differences, as the National Core Curriculum and its related regulatory documents are compulsory for the institutions and maintainers implementing them. This paper seeks for possible solutions to the prevailing challenges by a comparative examination of the tourism VET system in Finland and Hungary. As a result the author propounds possible alternatives to develop secondary tourism education.

The analyzes carried out on the teaching of pedagogy in the L19 degree programs show how the different core contents are declined according to modalities that vary according to the locations and references and belonging to the different schools of thought. The advanced interpretative hypothesis is that some differences are attributable to an idea of formation that can be traced back to the thought of authors such as Giovanni Gentile, John Dewey, and Martha C. Nussbaum. The goal is to show how theories and models in use in the different contexts involved, despite the different theoretical references, can contribute to the construction of a core curriculum suitable for those preparing to work as education and training professionals as long as measure the educational objectives and learning outcomes defined by the core content model defined in the framework of the TecoD Pedagogy project

229 Background: ICC administration, which includes intrathecal and intraventricular routes, is a complex procedure that involves staff from different disciplines. ICC administration errors are rare, yet potentially fatal. Since 1968, more than 55 cases of ICC administration errors have been documented, but the incidence is suspected to be higher because of underreporting. Little unified action has occurred despite alerts issued by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and World Health Organization. We have taken a multidisciplinary approach to address this issue. Methods: We identified two problems that could potentially lead to ICC errors: the lack of a formal institutional training/certification program and a comprehensive institutional safe ICC administration policy. Our Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program along with Pharmacy and Nursing at the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC), created a multidisciplinary work group whose purpose is to create a comprehensive institutional policy and training program for disciplines involved in the administration of ICC. Results: The safeICC administration policy has been finalized and presented for approval. Creation of the training program is in progress and will be a part of the educational Core Curriculum of the Fellowship Program. Fellows will be required to demonstrate competency in lumbar and Ommaya reservoir puncture using simulation training on mannequins. Computer-based training with classroom review and testing will be required for all disciplines involved with ICC and will include safe preparation, delivery, handling, verification, administration of ICC, and identification of potential complications. Annual certification will be required. Conclusions: The lack of a formal ICC administration policy and training can lead to catastrophic errors. Development of an institutional policy and training program has heightened awareness of potential sources of ICC administration errors at UCHC and will serve as a mechanism for assessing quality care in the future. We believe the establishment of such a policy and definition of training should be part of the general ASCO/ONS guidelines for safe administration of chemotherapy.

The UK's Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) went live on 30 September 2005. This editorial summarises the state of play and informs members of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and stakeholders of the changes that have taken place in the intervening year and of the College's response. The College has received provisional approval of its core curriculum, and specialty curricula have been submitted for approval. We are in the middle of pilot work on workplace-based assessments and preliminary results should be available in the early part of 2007, when trainees and educational supervisors will begin training in the preparation for and carrying out of these assessments.

Background: Although psychoactive substance use disorders (PSUDs) are a domain of mental health, addiction psychiatry is only formally recognized as a subspecialty in a few European countries, and there is no standardized training curriculum.Methods: A 76-item questionnaire was developed and disseminated through an online anonymous data-collecting system and hand-to-hand amongst psychiatric trainees from the 47 European countries of the Council of Europe plus Israel and Belarus.Results: 1,049/1,118 psychiatric trainees from 30 European countries completed the questionnaire. Fifty-nine-point nine percent of trainees stated to have training in addictions. Amongst the trainees who described having training in addictions, 43% documented a not well-structured training and 37% an unsatisfactory training, mainly due to poor acquired knowledge. Overall, 97% of trainees stated that addiction represents a core curriculum for their training. Overall, general adult psychiatric trainees reported a better knowledge in addictions, compared to trainees in child and adolescent psychiatry.Conclusion: Despite a growing spread of PSUDs in European countries, addiction psychiatry is a relatively poorly trained field within psychiatry training programs. Further research should investigate reasons for poor training and timings of the educational activities to optimize experiential education training in addiction psychiatry.
