Holonic networks constitute a type of organizational structures widely used at manufacturing enterprises. In an educational context, however, this type of structures remains practically unknown. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the applicability of these organizational structures to the design of professional training programs. Thus, we have herein proposed a conceptual model for holonic organizations that captures the structure and characteristics of this type of organizations. The use of this model is illustrated through the design of an academic organization devoted to professional training programs on Software Engineering. This paper describes the use of the combination of Holonic Networks and Business Models techniques for modeling complex organizational systems.

Although recent policies in education in Brazil have included sexuality as an important theme to be discussed in the classroom, it still has not effectively created an educational context where sexuality can be discussed in a positive, non-discriminatory and culturally/historically sensitive way. This article aims at contributing to the development of training programs for sexual educators, specifically for those who are concerned with the inclusion of non-normative sexualities in the educational context. Drawing on social constructionist ideas, we have delineated a model for a training program for sexual educators in which two themes - relational engagement and focus on the process - set the context for a transformation in education. First, we offer a brief review of sexual education in Brazil. Next, we introduce the notion of "intelligibility communities" and "dialogue," as useful concepts for exploring educational alternatives. These two concepts allow us to discuss how values are generated and how they play into our accounts about what we consider to be real and good. Finally, inspired by one of our training programs, we illustrate some ways in which these theoretical resources can be used in training activities.

Abstract: The internship program is a preregistration professional training program that has to be undertaken by each new graduate medical doctor, educated with a competence-based curriculum. After passing the competence test, the candidates for the internship program, whether civil servants or not, have to pesonally complete their application papers in order to start their professional training programs at the appointed medical health services, eg. a hospital.  Since every hospital has different conditions, the medical comittee and the head of the hospital have to prepare the appropriate clinical privileges for the internship doctors. A good clinical appointment will protect the internship doctors while finishing their professional training, and also protect the hospital from any unnecessary risks. Keywords: internship program, clinical privilige.  Abstrak: Program internsip adalah tahap pelatihan keprofesian pra-registrasi yang harus dijalani setiap dokter baru yang dididik dengan kurikulum berbasis kompetensi (KBK). Pasca kelulusan ujian kompetensi dokter Indonesia (UKDI), calon peserta internsip ikatan dinas maupun mandiri wajib mengurus kelengkapan administratif guna melaksanakan tugas keprofesiannya di sarana pelayanan kesehatan, salah satunya rumah sakit. Kondisi rumah sakit yang berbeda satu dengan yang lain, membuat komite medis bersama pimpinan rumah sakit harus membuat kajian clinical privilige yang tepat untuk para dokter internsip. Clinical appointment yang tepat akan melindungi dokter internsip dalam menyelesaikan pelatihan keprofesiannya, dan melindungi rumah sakit dari resiko hukum yang tidak perlu.Kata kunci: Program internsip, clinical privilige.

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to provide a framework for any organization to follow in designing training programs by describing a hypothetical sales training model linked to an organization’s strategic focus. Training strategy shapes the type of training programs provided by organizations. What influences an organization’s training strategy is important to understand if we are to grasp the valuable role training plays in the long-term performance of the organization. Strategic focus provides a framework for organizations to follow when creating specialized training programs. This paper represents an initiative to help put in a broader and clearer context an organization’s strategic focus from which training program initiatives originate. Furthermore, the paper examines how strategic focus influences an organization’s decisions regarding the specific purposes, content and frequency of training. The paper identifies and describes several important dimensions of the conceptual model, as well as the interconnectedness among the dimensions. Design/methodology/approach – This paper describes the link between sales training and an organization’s strategic focus. The use of a conceptual model linking strategic focus with a training program provides a “big picture” perspective showing the link between an organization’s vision and the role training plays in helping to realize this vision. The conceptual model shows the cause and effect link between the strategic focus and the development of training programs. Findings – The model demonstrates how practitioners can move from a strategic, conceptual focus to deliver a training program that represents the ability to implement strategic intent. Practical implications – The conceptual model shows the cause and effect link between the strategic focus and the development of training programs. Originality/value – The value of this conceptual model is to demonstrate the ability to link strategy to specific business activities associated with the implementation of strategy.

This paper is describes the design, development, implementation and evaluation of a preparatory training program for international medical trainees. The program was offered for one week full time shortly before they begin their residency training programs. First the paper reports on the survey and focus groups that guided the learning objectives and the course content. Next the paper describes the curriculum development phase and reports on the topical themes, session goals and objectives and learning materials. Three main themes emerged when developing the program: understanding the educational, health and practice systems in Canada; development of communication skills; and supporting personal success in residency training including self assessment, reflection and personal wellness. Sample lesson plans and handouts from each of the theme areas are illustrated. The comprehensive evaluation of the sessions and the overall program is then also described. The paper then summarizes the identified key issues and challenges in the design and implementation of a preparatory training program for international medical trainees before they begin their residency training programs.

We sought to assess the impact of procedural skills simulation training on residents’ competence in performing critical resuscitation skills. Our study was a prospective, cross-sectional study of residents from three residency training programs (Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine) at the University of Calgary. Participants completed a survey measuring competence in the performance of the procedural skills required to manage hemodynamic instability. The study intervention was an 8 hour simulation based training program focused on resuscitation procedure psychomotor skill acquisition. Competence was criterion validated at the Right Internal Jugular Central Venous Catheter Insertion station by an expert observer using a standardized checklist (Observed Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) format). At the completion of the simulation course participants repeated the self-assessment survey. Descriptive Statistics, Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Paired Sample t-test statistical tools were applied to the analyze the data. Thirty-five of 37 residents (9 FRCPC Emergency Medicine, 4 CCFP-Emergency Medicine, 17 CCFP, and 5 Internal Medicine) completed both survey instruments and the eight hour course. Seventy-two percent of participants were PGY-1 or 2. Mean age was 30.7 years of age. Cronbach’s alpha for the survey instrument was 0.944. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was 0.69 (p < 0.001) for relationship between Expert Assessment and Self-Assessment. The mean improvement in competence score pre- to post-intervention was 6.77 (p < 0.01, 95% CI 5.23-8.32). Residents from a variety of training programs (Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in competence with critical resuscitation procedural skills following an intensive simulation based training program. Self-assessment of competence was validated using correlation data based on expert assessments. Dawson S. Procedural simulation: a primer. J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2006; 17(2.1):205-13.

Communication between athletic training programs and preceptors is not only an accreditation requirement, but also a mechanism to foster effective clinical education experiences. Communicating regularly with preceptors can provide them with feedback and help demonstrate their value to the athletic training program. Improved communication between academic and clinical education has been identified as a need in athletic training. Ongoing communication can be facilitated in a variety of formal and informal ways, including preceptor newsletters, site visits, questionnaires, meetings, and phone calls. Clinical education coordinators should select methods of communication that meet the needs of their program and preceptors.
