Paniati reflects on his accomplishments of the past eight years as the executive director and chief executive officer of ITE, including the growth of membership, financial reserves, and the ...establishment of new districts and sections. He highlights the strong relationships and trust within the organization, the production of new knowledge, the modernization of transportation analysis tools, and the success of professional development programs and conferences. The author also mentions the support provided through the Legacy Program and the construction of a new ITE Headquarters. He also expresses excitement for the future of ITE under Steve's leadership and states their intention to remain an ITE member and contribute to its success.
Background: Current strategies to ensure maintenance of competency for practising surgeons typically consist of self-reported credits or knowledge-based recertification examinations or both. There ...has been a recent call for formal competency-based medical education (CBME) assessments as part of continuing professional development (CPD). Methods: A questionnaire was developed to examine attitudes toward CBME in CPD for practising surgeons. Items addressed experience with CBME, support for CBME in CPD, considerations for implementation and anticipated impacts of implementation. Email questionnaires were distributed to all members of the Canadian Association of Thoracic Surgeons (CATS) (n = 138). Questionnaire responses informed development of semistructured individual interviews of practising thoracic surgeons. Grounded theory analysis by 3 independent raters was used to analyze the qualitative interview data. Results: Responses were received from 58 surgeons (response rate 42%). Only 9 (15.5%) had undergone assessment of competence while in practice. There was moderate support for assessment of surgeons' technical skills (50.9%) or decision-making (56.6%). Support was highest for a mechanism to flag surgeons in need of a focused competence assessment (83.0%). There was a diversity of opinion regarding the optimal timing of assessment and the ideal body to be responsible, with the highest support for assessments primarily for older surgeons (52.8%) and for CATS to play a role (56.6%). Eight surgeons participated in interviews. Interviews identified a range of benefits of CBME in CPD but also several challenges to implementation, including the need for fair, datadriven assessments, taking into account patient outcomes. Conclusion: A lack of enthusiastic support for CBME in CPD among practising surgeons could present a barrier to implementation. However, surgeons do foresee potential benefits for patients, surgeons and the health care system. By listening to surgeons' concerns and recommendations, an effective CBME strategy may be devised that would be embraced by surgeons and allow for improved patient safety and surgeon performance.
The article reflects the problem of formation of students' motivational competence in an inclusive environment of the university (motivations of affiliation, achievement, self-actualization and value ...orientations of the individual), presents the results of experimental work, testing of training for the of professional motivation of students in the process of studying disciplines of socio-psychological orientation, contributing to their successful professional development.
This is a systematic literature review aiming to systematically synthesize research of teachers' collaborative professional development (CPD) for inclusive education. In total, 21 articles out of 55 ...from three data-based met the inclusion criteria. Cohen's kappa was used to measure the agreement, found that the agreement between the raters was 0.72; substantial agreement. The results show that the definition of inclusive education differs, from the right to school attendance to full inclusion by participating in the same classes as other peers in the same age groups and environment. By that, models for collaborative professional development also vary. Most studies were small-scale projects without controls or data showing evidence for enhanced teacher or student outcomes or satisfaction. Accordingly, we could not obtain results showing powerful CPD models. We instead defined research gaps in systematic and evidence-based studies of collaborative professional development models for inclusive education. However, participation in professional development trainings resulted in teachers having more positive attitudes towards inclusive education. Results were also found that show that teachers who were most positive about inclusion also had the highest risks of burnout. Finally, results of the CPDs' effect on students' knowledge development in inclusive education was limited.
