Education and training in advanced airway management as part of an anesthesiology residency program is necessary to help residents attain the status of expert in difficult airway management. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) emphasizes that residents in anesthesiology must obtain significant experience with a broad spectrum of airway management techniques. However, there is no specific number required as a minimum clinical experience that should be obtained in order to ensure competency. We have developed a curriculum for a new Advanced Airway Techniques rotation. This rotation is supplemented with a hands-on Difficult Airway Workshop. We describe here this comprehensive advanced airway management educational program at our institution. Future studies will focus on determining if education in advanced airway management results in a decrease in airway related morbidity and mortality and overall better patients’ outcome during difficult airway management.

AIMS: To carry out Thematic Content Analysis of open ended question in a study to evaluate efcacy of educational program on knowledge and practices of Biomedical Waste Handlers in a medical college Study design: Exploratory study Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Medical College Pune from June 2019 to December 2020 METHODOLOGY: A total of 37 reviews were received. Many answers were in Hindi, Marathi, English and Roman Hindi (Transliteration of Hindi in Roman Script) and thus were transcribed to English. Useless data was excluded and codication of data was carried out. Themes were generated from these data and Thematic Content Analysis was carried out. RESULTS: The themes prominently noticed were “positive feedback of the training program”, “suggestions for better training”, and “suggestions for better outcomes”. 10% of the feedbacks were appreciative of the Instructor, 10% of the feedbacks were appreciative of the conduct of class, and 17% of the suggestions revealed that these programs are indeed helpful and created awareness. 24% of the feedback received revealed that the gain of knowledge from such program is directly associated with performance. 14% of the feedbacks laid emphasis on Hands on Training, 17% feedback reected that the timing, duration and initiation of the program should be suited to the participants, and 7% of the suggestions demanded a need for certication of such a program. CONCLUSION: Causes for poor participation to offer suggestion should be evaluated to ensure better feedback and also to know the exact cause of lassitude – whether organic or systematic. Despite a few inadequacies, the program was much appreciated with a positive peer to peer feedback.

Pusat Peragaan Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi (PP-IPTEK) adalah  science center atau wahana  pembudayaan Iptek non formal untuk masyarakat umum khususnya peserta didik melalui media alat peraga sentuh-mainkan (hands-on interactive) dan pendidikan sains (educational program). PP-IPTEK berlokasi di Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), status kelembagaannya adalah satuan kerja yang berada dilingkungan Kementerian Riset, Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi serta manajemen keuangannya menerapkan pengelolaan keuangan yang fleksibel dengan menonjolkan  produktivitas, efisiensi dan efektivitas atau dikenal dengan istilah Badan Layanan Umum. Upaya PP-IPTEK dalam membudayakan Iptek belum optimal karena dihadapkan pada kondisi keterbatasan kapasitas serta beban kerja yang belum ditunjang oleh struktur organisasi yang ada saat ini.  PP-IPTEK sebagai enterprise the goverment perlu melakukan upaya pembaharuan penataan organisasi dengan memasukkan unsur pengembangan layanan untuk meningkatkan koordinasi dan kemitraan strategis agar PP-IPTEK senantiasa dapat mengakomodasi perkembangan Iptek, kebutuhan masyarakat serta pembudayaan Iptek yang merata keseluruh wilayah di Indonesia. Penataan organisasi menggunakan analisa  konfigurasi organisasi dari teori HenryMintzberg. Hasil analisis bahwa struktur organisasi model machine bureaucrazi dari Henry Mintzberg dapat diimplementasikan untuk penataan organisasi PP-IPTEK yang baru, mengingat model tersebut dianggap cocok dan relevan dengan kultur birokrasi di Indonesia serta dapat mengakomodasi peningkatan  pengembangan layanan, penguatan kerjasama dan kemitraan strategis dengan seluruh pemangku kepentingan (stakeholders) PP-IPTEK.

The Materials Science Department at Iowa State University has developed a laboratory designed to improve instruction in the use of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The laboratory makes use of a computer network and a series of remote workstations in a classroom setting to provide students with increased hands-on access to the SEM. The laboratory has also been equipped such that distance learning via the internet can be achieved.A view of the laboratory is shown in Figure 1. The laboratory consists of a JEOL 6100 SEM, a Macintosh Quadra computer that acts as a server for the network and controls the energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), four Macintosh computers that act as remote workstations, and a fifth Macintosh that acts as an internet server. A schematic layout of the classroom is shown in Figure 2. The workstations are connected directly to the SEM to allow joystick and computer control of the microscope. An ethernet connection between the Quadra and the workstations allows students seated there to operate the EDS. Control of the microscope and joystick is passed between the workstations by a switch-box assembly that resides at the microscope console. When the switch-box assembly is activated a direct serial line is established between the specified workstation and the microscope via the SEM’s RS-232.

Promoting cultural competence in serving diverse clients has become critically important across disciplines. Yet, progress has been limited in raising awareness and sensitivity. Tervalon and Murray-Garcia (1998) believed that cultural competence can only be truly achieved through critical self-assessment, recognition of limits, and ongoing acquisition of knowledge (known as “cultural humility”). Teaching cultural humility, and the value associated with it remains a challenging task for many educators. Challenges inherent in such instruction stem from lack of resources/known strategies as well as learner and instructor readiness. Kirk (2007) further indicates that providing feedback on one's integrity could be threatening. In current study, both traditional classroom-based teaching pedagogy and hands-on community engagement were reviewed. To bridge a gap between academic teaching/learning and real world situations, the author proposed service learning as a means to teach cultural humility and empower students with confidence in serving clients from culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds. To provide a class of 51 students with multicultural and multilingual community service experience, the author partnered with the Tzu-Chi Foundation (an international nonprofit organization). In this article, the results, strengths, and limitations of this service learning project are discussed.
