Abstract It is well established that the health professional workforce is not adequately prepared to meet the demands of an aging older population. Caregivers are often the backbone supplemental workforce for seniors, providing daily care with assistance with activities of daily living, with little training. Part of the mission of the South Florida Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (SFGWEP) is to support and empower caregivers through community based training programs. Between January 1 2020 to January 31, 2021 SFGWEP provided education to more than 340 caregivers on topics related to opioid use, effective communication with individuals with dementia and other topics. Attendees responded to a short evaluation survey, which included three multiple-choice questions on if attending was a good use of their time, if they gained knowledge and if they plan to apply material, and two open-ended questions to identify opportunities for improvement in future trainings. Responses were overwhelmingly positive (>98% for multiple-choice questions.) There were also three open-ended questions that were analyzed using a modified thematic approach. The three questions covered what attendees learned, what they wanted to learn more about and suggestions for improvement. Analysis suggests that attendees plan to be more mindful about communication (e.g. improve eye contact, listen more) and that they want more information on neurocognitive disorders and resent research, including psychological changes due to disease and medication side effects. In terms of improvement, attendees said the program should allow more time for questions and should use more engaging materials (polls, posters, flyers and case studies).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of the impact that a crisis such as that created by COVID-19 has on entrepreneurs. The authors focus on female entrepreneurs and their ability and propensity to continue their entrepreneurial journey. Design/methodology/approach For each respondent (n = 113), data was collected using an online survey. The survey was distributed in April 2020 during a nationwide lockdown and again in September 2020 as the economy reopened. In completing the survey, respondents were asked a series of multiple-choice questions and a series of open-ended questions. Findings The authors present data characterizing the female entrepreneurs, their experience during a time of crisis and the enablers and disablers to the continuation of their entrepreneurial journey. The key findings that emerge from this study include the resilience of the female entrepreneurs, their willingness to contribute to community-based organizations during a crisis and their desire to seek and receive support from their peers. Originality/value The findings from this study provide novel insights with regard to the resources and strategies used by female entrepreneurs during a time of crisis. The data was collected during two periods of great uncertainty for the entrepreneurs and at times when their availability was extremely limited.

ABSTRACT In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of an online learning resource for introductory financial accounting students using a suite of online multiple choice questions (MCQ) for summative and formative purposes. We found that the availability and use of an online resource resulted in improved examination performance for those students who actively used the online learning resource. Further, we found a positive relationship between formative MCQ and unit content related to challenging financial accounting concepts. However, better examination performance was also linked to other factors, such as prior academic performance, tutorial participation, and demographics, including gender and attending university as an international student.

Specifically designed to help candidates revise for the MRCS exam, this book features 350 Single Best Answer multiple choice questions, covering the whole syllabus. Containing everything candidates need to pass the MRCS Part A SBA section of the exam, it focuses intensively on the application of basic sciences (applied surgical anatomy, physiology, and pathology) to the management of surgical patients. The high level of detail included within the questions and their explanations allows effective self-assessment of knowledge and quick identification of key areas requiring further attention. Varying approaches to Single Best Answer multiple choice questions are used, giving effective exam practice and guidance through revision and exam technique. This includes clinical case questions, 'positively-worded' questions, requiring selection of the most appropriate of relatively correct answers; 'two-step' or 'double-jump' questions, requiring several cognitive steps to arrive at the correct answer; as well as 'factual recall' questions, prompting basic recall of facts.
