AbstractThere are at present 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, which together offer more than 50 health sciences degree programs. But as the Society's membership is shrinking and the financial risks involved in sponsoring health sciences education are rising, the question arises whether the Society should continue to sponsor health sciences degree programs. In fact, at least eight Jesuit health sciences schools have already closed their doors. This paper attempts to contribute to the resolution of this urgent question by reexamining Ignatius' own views on health sciences education and, more specifically, his prohibition of the Society's sponsoring medical education. It concludes on the basis of an historical analysis of Ignatius' views that there is insufficient support for today's ,Jesuits to maintain their engagement in medical and health care education.

Quantitative And Qualitative Research

Assessment in health sciences education has become an extremely critical issue in recent years, given the rapidlychanging disease patterns and behavioral changes in communities among diverse cultural and economic contexts ofpatients. Globally, there is increasing demand for highly qualified contemporary healthcare professionals.Subsequently, learner assessment regimes need to have the capacity to accurately evaluate the competences (i.e.attitudes, skills and knowhow) acquired during the training of healthcare professionals. This paper provides ananalysis of assessment of and for learning in health sciences education with a focus on clinical laboratory training atMLT in Uganda. This study utilized both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The program evaluationdesign principles were also utilized to measure the levels of compliance towards attainment of curriculum outcomes.The instruments used during data collection included checklists, questionnaires, indepth interviews, and focus groupdiscussions (FDGs). The findings of this study showed that learners were achieving the intended curriculumobjectives progressively. The assessment tools used were prepared through a rigorous process to ensure that the basicprinciples of assessment are identified and integrated during curriculum design and implementation. Results of thestudy also showed that adequate institutional administrative support available enhanced the teaching and learningprocesses and ensured that appropriate curriculum assessment schedules and strategies were strictly followed asstated in the elements of the curriculum structures.This contributed meaningfully in preparing competentcontemporary healthcare professionals (clinical laboratory technicians). It was recommended that all healthcareprofessional training institutions should take the use of aunthetic assessment of and for learning very seriously.

Palliative care is given much importance in the curriculum of medical and health sciences. Before planning a new design and curriculum development, it is mandatory to test the knowledge and awareness of Occupational therapy students on palliative care. Thus it will help the expert’s panel to enhance the syllabus designing methods appropriate to the student’s knowledge.  Without paying much attention to enhance knowledge on palliative care among students might lead to failure in providing quality care. To evaluate the knowledge in palliative care among undergraduate occupational therapy students. The study population included BOT 1ST Year and BOT Final year students and CRI from SRM College OF Occupational therapy, Kattankulathur. After obtaining informed consent signed from the participants, they have been instructed to fill in the questionnaire. The questionnaire has demographic data and 35 questions under nine groups, for which the students were instructed to answer (Yes, No, Don’t know). A detailed instruction was there in the questionnaire to avoid leaving any questions blank. It was found that occupational therapy students were aware of palliative care. Knowledge in palliative care was not precise among occupational therapy students related to healthcare. Hence there is an emerging need to include palliate care in the curriculum for the development of knowledge in palliative care.
