A course in the medical school curriculum has been described. We have pointed out the integration with the basic sciences, growth and development and preventive medicine, and we have emphasized the relationship of the psychologic, economic and sociologic aspects of the patient's environment to disease. The principle of self-education is emphasized throughout the four-year experience of the student. The close guidance of the student is provided by the active participation of the faculty of the School of Medicine and many additional people in the University and community. The experiences of the student in the first two years of the course have been reviewed in an attempt to evaluate their achievements. The total curriculum time of the Family Medicine Course for the four years is 116 hours. This represents approximately 23½% of the total curriculum time of the Medical School.

Background and Objectives: A strong US primary care workforce is necessary to meet health care needs, yet fewer than 9% of allopathic medical students choose family medicine each year. No validated instrument exists to identify students likely to enter family medicine upon medical school matriculation. Methods: A subset of a larger survey at the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM) was used to create the Family Medicine Interest Survey (FMIS), a 15-item instrument to predict eventual practice in family medicine for a 2003-2007 matriculating cohort. A single-item screen asking about top specialty choice was administered at UWSOM for the same cohort and for a 2006-2012 matriculating cohort of students at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Test performance measures including D (discrimination) and Cronbach α were calculated. Logistic regression determined whether FMIS score or reporting family medicine as the top specialty choice predicted family medicine practice for 601 UWSOM graduates or family medicine residency match for 744 OHSU graduates. Results: The FMIS is reliable (Cronbach α=0.76). Both tests significantly predicted the probability of entering family medicine. Listing family medicine as the preferred specialty choice yielded a 47% predicted probability for UWSOM graduates entering family medicine. OHSU graduates listing family medicine first had an eightfold odds of matching to family medicine residencies. Combining the two instruments for UWSOM graduates showed a dose-response curve for predicted probability of entering family medicine with increasing levels of interest. Conclusion: Each screening tool can predict students more likely to enter family medicine upon matriculation.

The article raises the issue of the relationship of parent-child relationships and professional preferences in pedagogical dynasties. Particular attention is paid to the role of the family in the professional development of the individual. It has been suggested that there is a relationship between parent-child relationships and professional preferences.

Many of Bunda's Tourism Diploma graduates are still unemployed because some are less interested in becoming self-employed. It because students are not motivated to become entrepreneurs, and the family environment is not yet supported. This study aimed to measure: the relationship between entrepreneurial learning outcomes, entrepreneurial motivation, and family environment with interest in entrepreneurship. This type of research is descriptive correlational. This research population is all students of the Hospitality study program of the Bunda Padang Tourism Academy, batch 2017 and 2018, totaling 61 students. The sample in this study were 61 students using the total sampling technique. The data collection instrument used a questionnaire using a Likert scale and data analysis methods, including simple correlation and multiple correlations. Research is expected to increase students' entrepreneurial knowledge through attitudes, knowledge, and skills to overcome entrepreneurial tasks' complexity, providing real experiences for students to carry out entrepreneurial practices.

A family consisting of a mother and father, heterozygous for idiopathic hyperlipemia, and their four offspring, one heterozygous and three homozygous for the disease, are described. In addition, a fifth child who is heterozygous, born of same mother but by another incompletely studied father, is presented. The genetics of the disease in this family, and also in the general population, with emphasis on diagnosis and prognosis in heterozygotes is discussed. The interrelationship of various lipid components in serum and their metabolism are briefly reviewed. The possible defective mechanisms in hyperlipemia, the techniques for deciding on the specific defect, and their application to the members of this family are reviewed. The effect of heparin, nicotinic acid, and fat-free diets in the homozygous members of the family are evaluated and their therapeutic applications are discussed. The symptomatology, possible pathologic physiology, relationship to lipid levels in serum and occurrence of abdominal crises in some of the homozygous members of this family are pointed out. The relationship of cholesterol and triglyceride levels in serum to, and the significance of, idiopathic hyperlipemia in the genesis of, atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease is elucidated.

The change in educational paradigms has led to the need to define new methodological regulations that allow to consider the objects of pedagogical reality from a different angle. This led to the need to study traditional issues of pedagogy in an innovative context. The issue of forming students’ independent learning activities is not new for pedagogy. However, we present it from the perspective of an integrative-reflexive approach, which allowed us to identify its internal potential for personal development. The theoretical methods of pedagogical research used in the study: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, method of causal relationships research, etc., which allowed to mentally penetrate into the essence of the studied pedagogical phenomenon and rethink it in a new educational reality. It is established that the educational independent activity accumulates the reflexive and didactic potential for professional and personal formation and development in the process of studying at the university. The possibilities of reflexive discourse as a way of realizing the reflexive-didactic potential of educational independent activity in the learning process are determined. According to the structure of the process of reflection in educational independent activity we distinguish the stages of reflexive discourse: reflexive-indicative, reflexive-presentative and reflexive-realizational. We consider the relationship of these stages of the discourse with various types of reflection and features of self-assessment, self-analysis, self-design and self-realization as structural components of educational independent activity.

This paper aims at investigating the relationship between the application of innovation and entrepreneurship system and the university competitive advantage in the Jordanian higher education sector.     To collect the required data, the number of some concerned individuals was surveyed through a carefully designed questionnaire that has become the main instrument to obtain the required data.A random sample of university managerial staff was withdrawn from five private Jordanian universities. The collected data was audited, reviewed and statically analyzed using the most relevant statistical test. The results of the statistical analysis have clearly pointed out that university adoption of innovation and entrepreneurship system has a significant effect on its competitive advantage.
