Abstract Background ID fellowship training demands that fellows must learn a wealth of information to master ID content and become experts in the field. As such, there is often a limited amount of formal curricular time devoted to career development and to the business of medicine. We designed and implemented a professional development educational series for ID fellows. Methods Surveys of fellowship graduates indicated an increased need for training on the business aspects of medicine and careers in ID during fellowship. The primary aim of this project was to develop a professional development curriculum to meet identified needs while still being feasible to implement given all the other topic areas about which fellows must learn. WE developed a 6-part series comprised of: careers in ID, physician contracts, compensation models, and job search (table). Each of the 6 educational activities included pre-reading and a 1-hour small group activity. Outside speakers were utilized in 2 of the sessions. Fellows completed surveys pre- and post- curriculum implementation and also provided formative assessments of curricular activities throughout the year. Results All (n= 6) ID fellows completed the curriculum. All 6 (100%) reported an increased understanding of careers in ID, physician contracts, and resources for continued learning on career paths. All fellows reported that this was a meaningful addition to the existing curriculum. Strengths of the curriculum as identified by fellows were the general topic areas and the interactive format. Fellows identified areas for improvement for upcoming years: expand the session on compensation models, include more information on careers in industry, and add billing and coding workshops. All fellows strongly agreed that the professional development curriculum should be continued in future years. Conclusion The professional development curriculum was a valuable addition to our existing ID fellowship training program. Implementing a professional development curriculum for ID fellows is feasible. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

The Impact

Changes in technology use and globalization are leading to significant changes in the structure of the labor market, emphasizing the need for labor market participants to learn continuously and acquire new knowledge and skills in order to adapt to a rapidly changing work environment. Economists point to the risks posed by technological development, such as the reduction of low-skilled jobs as a result of digitalization and automation processes. Although professionals working with people, such as healthcare professionals and teachers, are less exposed to the risk of automation, they are still increasingly unstable as technology and artificial intelligence compete with human experts. This means that medical and education staff will also need more targeted, regular and labor market-oriented professional development in order to remain competitive and demonstrate demand-driven performance. In line with changes in the quality standards of professional performance for healthcare professionals and teachers, changes are also taking place in how the professional development of these groups is implemented. In addition to formal development activities such as courses and seminars, the need to accept the impact of informal learning is emphasized, not only expanding the aims and content of professional development activities but also offering new learning formats. The aim of the qualitative research conducted by the authors is to study the understanding of teachers and healthcare professionals about their professional development by analyzing their answers regarding their professional development. The focus of the study has been chosen to test the assumption that healthcare professionals and teachers view their continuing education more in the context of formal training, with less emphasis on professional development through informal learning. Within the framework of the research, a survey of random respondents within the said target groups has been conducted and the answers of the respondents have been analyzed, with attention paid to the aspects of formal and informal learning. The article presents the results of the content analysis, highlighting the most important trends of study results and the problematic aspects related to the improvement of the quality of professional development.

Quality Provision

Simulation-based education (SBE) is an important modality for training a competent and safe healthcare workforce. It is also an important component of core training and continuing professional development for healthcare workers in the National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom. A comprehensive review of SBE provision, led by NHS Health Education England (HEE), discovered many areas of good practice, but also identified inequalities in the access to and delivery of simulation. A framework was developed to help improve the quality, provision, and access to SBE. Case studies are provided in this chapter showcasing the different types of simulation which contributed to the good practice, how they are used in healthcare education, and how they link to the SBE framework. The chapter sets out some of the current challenges with equitable and high-quality provision, detailing plans to further enhance the education and training of the healthcare workforce through SBE through the delivery of a framework, strategic overview, and vision to support these plans.

It could be said that the teachers are the most important competencies of the quality of a university. Therefore we need to create a supportive environment in which prominent scientists, excellent teachers want to work.A number of questions arise. There is a need for trained workers in higher education? If so, how can this be done?Many experts it is still not clear whether the higher education to teach in a specific profession, which can be learned and that the quality does not depend directly proportional to the competence of the instructor. The technical higher education in addition to serious competition from the labor market, a well-paid job with engineering. If we observe that the labor market positions of the workers are increasingly choosing to where their professional development, career support better, it becomes clear that this direction is necessary to open the universities.In this article is an Anglo-Saxon and one German universities analyzing organizational units I want to introduce you to follow these principles in the development of the teachers deal.

The University

The continuous transformation of the labor market, characterized by great instability and uncertainty, and by rapid technological changes, has strongly influenced the construction and management of career paths. Nowadays, individuals are faced with careers that are fluid and boundaryless, characterized by discontinuity and a variety of organizations to deal with. In this scenario, the ability to adapt and react to continuous changes in the labor market and in organizations is now a priority for workers. This study presents the psychometric properties of the construct of Career Ability measured through Proactive Personality and Boundaryless Mindset as proxy variables in a sample of 579 adults enrolled at the University of Cagliari (Italy), or recently graduated therein. We aim to rate the factorial structure of the items and to evaluate their multi-group invariance regarding the gender variable. Moreover, the criterion and concurrent validity were assessed. The instrument shows good psychometric characteristics; factorial structure, factorial invariance in relation to the gender variable, concurrent, and criterion validities were confirmed.

Social Closure

Although the engineering profession has been called “the failed profession” owing to its lack of social closure, engineers have been successful in claiming their area of expertise and specialized knowledge as legitimate areas of research, knowledge, and intervention. In this article, the historical development of engineering professions in Sweden is used as a case of professional development. With the use of primary statistical sources and secondary historical sources, I endeavor to explain engineers’ professional development via coinciding factors such as the expansion and scientific content of lower and higher engineering education, the struggle for power in interest groups and unions, and engineers’ position in what seems to be an ever-increasingly diversified labor market. I argue that the professionalization process for Swedish engineers has fluctuated and that more than one professional take-off (two or even three) has occurred.
