Bloom's taxonomy as a tool for educational objectives applied to human anatomy.

Background: Human anatomy has long been a foundational aspect of medical education. To innovate and refine educational methodologies, it is necessary to employ tools that streamline the organization of classroom objectives. One such tool is Bloom's taxonomy (BT), a two-dimensional framework that guides the selection of verbs in defining educational objectives for curriculum components and lesson plans.

The Medical Writing Center Model in an Academic Teaching Hospital.

Editing services within academic health centers are uncommon, and few studies have reported on their impact. In this article, we describe our medical writing center's editing service for faculty and trainees at a pediatric teaching hospital and associated outcomes of scholarly products (e.g.

Frequency and characterization of the accessory heads of the biceps brachii: A multicentric cadaveric study.

Purpose: The biceps brachii muscle (BBM) is a large and thick muscle on the ventral portion of the upper arm. The scientific literature reports the existence of extra heads.

Objective: The present work investigated the frequency of occurrence of BBM accessory head(s) in four different Anatomy Laboratories at universities in Northeast Brazil.

Meeting the Challenge: The National Cancer Institute's Central Institutional Review Board for Multi-Site Research.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a new policy that requires a single institutional review board (IRB) of record be used for all protocols funded by the NIH that are carried out at more than one site in the United States, effective January 2018. This policy affects several hundred clinical trials opened annually across the NIH. Limited data exist to compare the use of a single IRB to that of multiple local IRBs, so some institutions are resistant to or distrustful of single IRBs.
