Abstract Der Verein zur Förderung der Wissenschaft in den Gesundheitsberufen VFWG veranstaltete zwei Online-Symposien zum Stand der Akademisierung in Deutschland, wo lediglich die Hebammen dank EU-Vorschriften seit 2020 an Fachhochschulen ausgebildet werden. Für die Pflege- und Therapieberufe gilt nach wie vor die Modellklausel, die bis 2024 verlängert wurde. In Österreich und der Schweiz sind die Ausbildungen für die Therapieberufe vollständig an den Fachhochschulen angesiedelt, für diejenigen für die Pflege und die medizinisch-technischen Berufe teilweise. Das erste Symposium erörterte, ob sog. duale Studiengänge ein Modell sein könnten für die Therapieberufe in Deutschland. Das zweite Symposium fragte, ob der Weg, den Österreich und die Schweiz eingeschlagen haben, Argumente liefern kann für eine Akademisierung der Gesundheitsberufe in Deutschland. Dieser Beitrag führt ins Thema ein; die folgenden Beiträge dokumentieren die Beiträge verschiedener Autoren zu den beiden Symposien.

Question Survey

Purpose: Canadian clinician-scientist trainees enrolled in dual degree programs often pursue an extended training route following completion of MD and MSc or PhD degrees. However, the proportion, plans and reasoning of trainees who intend to pursue training internationally following dual degree completion has not been investigated. In this study, we assessed the international training considerations of current clinician-scientist trainees. Methods: We designed an 11-question survey, which was sent out by program directors to all current MDPhD program and Clinician Investigator Program (CIP) trainees. Responses were collected from July 8, 2019 to August 8, 2019. Results: We received a total of 191 responses, with representation from every Canadian medical school and both MD-PhD program and CIP trainees. The majority of trainees are considering completing additional training outside Canada, most commonly post-doctoral and/or clinical fellowships. The most common reasons for considering international training include those related to quality and prestige of training programs. In contrast, the most common reasons for considering staying in Canada for additional training are related to personal and ethical reasons. Irrespective of intentions to pursue international training, the majority of trainees ultimately intend to establish a career in Canada. Conclusion: While most trainees are considering additional training outside of Canada due to prestige and quality of training, the majority of trainees intend to pursue a career as a clinician-scientist back in Canada. Trainees would likely benefit from improved guidance and mentorship on the value of international training, as well as enhanced support in facilitating cross-border mobility.

Facial cosmetic surgery is rapidly being incorporated into the contemporary oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice. The Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA), the accreditation body for American Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residencies, mandates a minimum requirement in 4 major categories. Facial cosmetic surgery procedures are included in the “Facial Cosmetic and Reconstruction” category. This requirement stipulates that each graduating resident must complete at least 20 facial cosmetic and/or facial reconstructive procedures. We hypothesized that some OMS programs meet and exceed the minimum graduation requirement set forth by the CODA in the facial cosmetic and reconstruction category solely with cosmetic procedures. We also speculated that some OMS programs surpassed the minimal graduation requirements of medical specialties most commonly associated with performing facial cosmetic procedures. Finally, the research was intended to investigate whether there was a difference, in terms of cosmetic surgery experience, between 4-year OMS certificate programs and OMS programs with an incorporated medical degree (dual degree or 6-year program). Surveys were sent to all 102 CODA-accredited OMS programs. These data were analyzed to evaluate the total number of facial cosmetic procedures completed at each institution over a 5-year period and the average number of facial cosmetic surgery procedures per chief resident. In addition, a comparison was made between single and dual degree programs. Finally, these numbers were compared with medical residencies/fellowship accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Twenty-two of 102 programs returned the survey. Over the 5-year period (2011-2016), accredited OMS programs completed an average of 211 facial cosmetic procedures ranging from zero procedures to 1073. Genioplasties and rhinoplasties were the most common facial cosmetic surgery procedures tallied. Four-year OMS programs completed 20.3 procedures per chief resident while dual degree programs completed 9.7 cases on average. OMS programs with the largest volume of cases reached and exceeded many of the minimum procedure requirements set forth by plastic and reconstructive surgery residency programs and American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Fellowships. With the vast differences among training requirements, it is challenging to assess what is a reasonable number of procedures to ensure a surgeon is comfortable and, more importantly, competent and proficient. When compared with the variability of requirements from medical specialties that commonly perform facial cosmetic procedures, the data support that comprehensive experience in facial cosmetic surgery is attainable within American Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residencies.

Multicultural social work has been evolving over the last forty years despite challenges in limited knowledge, insufficient resources, and inadequate infusion into the curriculum. Discussions continue about appropriate conceptual frameworks, culturally sensitive terms, traditional and indigenous practice approaches and treatments, and relevant outcome measures and evaluation methods. Future directions foster the inclusion of cultural values as strengths. Intersectionality guides practice approaches and systems of care. Service learning requirements, national ethnic resource centers, and ethnic resource centers, and ethnic studies dual degree programs are innovative initiatives yet to be fully integrated into social work curriculum.
