Competency-based medical education (CBME) is an outcomes-based approach to education and assessment that focuses on what competencies trainees need to learn in order to provide effective patient care. Despite this goal of providing quality patient care, trainees rarely receive measures of their clinical performance. This is problematic because defining a trainee's learning progression requires measuring their clinical performance.

Although JLP is mainly cytoplasmic, it accumulates as a focus in the perinuclear region when stimulated by extracellular stimuli. Focus formation, which changes the nucleus shape and concentrates the nuclear pores, depends on p38MAPK activation and the dynein retrograde motor protein complex.

In , either one of two presenilin genes ( or ) facilitate Notch activation, providing the catalytic subunit for the γ secretase proteolytic enzyme complex. For all known Notch signaling events, can mediate Notch activation, so the conservation of remains a mystery.
