Student Perceptions of Online (Virtual) vs In-Person Interprofessional Education Simulation During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if a statistically significant difference existed between student perceptions of virtual (online) vs traditional in-person IPE simulation.

Methods: Students (n = 397) from eight health professions at one northeastern university attended either a virtual or an in-person IPE session during the spring 2021 semester. Students were allowed to choose which session type to attend.

Predictors of student success on the physician assistant national certifying examination.

Purpose: This study examined the association between academic performance in undergraduate science courses - chemistry I, pathophysiology, and biochemistry - and student scores on the PANCE. Covariates gender, age, and admission GPA were included in the analysis to identify factors predicting student passage of the PANCE.

Methodology: A retrospective cohort study of student records of first-attempt chemistry I, pathophysiology, and biochemistry course grades and first-attempt PANCE scores for PA graduates from D'Youville College (n = 155) from 2006-2010 were included, along with age, gender, and admission GPA.
