At the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus, we have completed our seventh year of an innovative small group learning activity in an undergraduate medical school course. The purpose of the Independent Study Project has been to expose students to the process of making a pathologic diagnosis in a team-based learning format. In the Independent Study Project groups of 3 or 4 students work together to determine a diagnosis on an assigned unknown case, and then compose a 3- to 5-page paper focusing on the disease entity and the basic science underlying the disease. This project emphasizes team-based learning and illustrates the relationship and integration of pathology with clinical medicine. Professionalism is also emphasized with students evaluating and providing feedback to fellow group members. Over time, the format has become more web based with all of the cases available online with digitally scanned microscopic slides and images. Overall, the Independent Study Project has been well received by both faculty members and students.

Objective – To determine the frequency of graduate students’ Google Scholar usage, and the contributing factors to their adoption. The researchers also aimed to examine whether the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is applicable to graduate students’ acceptance of Google Scholar. Design – Web-based survey questionnaire. Setting – The survey was conducted over the internet through email invitations. Subjects – 1,114 graduate students enrolled at the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota. Methods – 9,998 graduate students were invited via email to participate in a study about their perceptions of Google Scholar in the fall of 2009. A follow-up email and a raffle of two $25 gift certificates were used to provide participation incentive. The survey measurements, which consisted of 53 items in 15 questions, were based on modifications to the validated TAM using measurements adopted by other studies using the same instrument. Each item was scored using five-point scales ranging from 1 (“strongly disagree”) to 5 (“strongly agree”). Because the TAM model is based on direct user experience, only responses from those who have used Google Scholar in the past were included in the data analysis. Main Results – The survey had a response rate of 11.4%, with 73% of the respondents reporting having used Google Scholar at least once before. However, only 45% of those who had used Google Scholar reported linking to full text articles through the customized library link “frequently or always.” On average, respondents found Google Scholar easy to use (M=4.09 out of 5) and access (M=3.86). They also perceived Google Scholar as a useful resource for their research (M=3.98), which enhanced their searching effectiveness (M=3.89). However, respondents were less enthusiastic when asked whether they often found what they were looking for using Google Scholar (M=3.33) or whether it had enough resources for their research (M=3.14). Nonetheless, most still felt they made the correct decision to use Google Scholar (M=3.94), even if their loyalty towards Google Scholar was limited (M=3.23). The researcher categorized survey measurements into 9 TAM-based variables and performed regression analysis (all with p

In 2017, the University of Minnesota Extension launched an online program called “Systems Approaches to Healthy Communities” that targets public health professionals and health promotion advocates to address how policy, systems, and environment interact with their work. This program was developed through evaluation of existing programs and content to expand reach for Minnesota Extension. Through five modules (Frameworks for Healthy Communities, Taking a Systems Approach, Engaging with Communities, Knowing Your Community, Putting It All Together), participants are informed on their role in public health efforts, barriers to lasting change in communities, and how to coordinate their work with local partners they might not have otherwise. Systems Approaches to Healthy Communities was developed following a number of pilots and revisions, which will benefit others looking to develop novel online programming or translate existing curricula to new modalities.

This chapter explores the transformation of teaching and leadership practices at the Student Academic Success Services office (SASS) at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (UMN) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The sobering reality of the disruption to on-campus instruction due to the escalating pandemic required a multi-pronged approach for a workplace geared towards advancing the academic progress of its students. Through a collaborative autoethnography, the authors, who work with students to improve academic performance through courses and individualized coaching sessions, chronicle how they were able to pivot rapidly and transition effectively into virtual modes of teaching and supporting students. SASS students are some of the most vulnerable to abrupt changes to their learning routines and styles; this includes students on probation, those with learning disabilities, and students struggling to stay motivated and balance their social, personal, and academic demands.

In 1915 the Mayo brothers created the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research and established a formal relationship with the University of Minnesota, located ninety miles away in Minneapolis. Louis Wilson, a pathologist the Mayo brothers had hired in 1905, championed a more rigorous system of specialty training. An educational reformer, Wilson focused on the need to improve postgraduate training at a time when the emphasis in the United States was on closing or reforming substandard medical schools. The fellowship program established in Rochester, Minnesota, was unique in that it required candidates to have graduated from an acceptable medical school and to have completed an internship. Mayo fellows spent three years preparing for careers as medical or surgical specialists. Fear of competition led several physicians in the Twin Cities to attempt to end the affiliation between the Mayo Foundation and the University of Minnesota. Their efforts failed.
