Article Synopsis
  • Over two decades, initiatives have aimed to enhance STEM undergraduate outcomes, with the inclusive Research Education Community (iREC) emerging as a scalable reform model that supports STEM faculty in implementing course-based research to improve student learning.
  • This study utilized pathway modeling to describe the HHMI Science Education Alliance (SEA) iREC, identifying how faculty engagement leads to sustainable adoption and improvement of new teaching strategies through feedback from over 100 participating faculty members.
  • The findings indicate that iREC fosters a collaborative environment where STEM faculty can share expertise and data, thereby enhancing their teaching practices and contributing to the overall evolution of undergraduate science education.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are important providers of primary care to underserved populations, particularly in areas with lower physician supply. In 2023, California implemented new regulations aimed at improving access to care, especially primary care services, by providing a pathway for NPs to practice without formal supervision after 3 years of practice and without any physician relationship after 5 years of practice. This study used data from a representative survey of California-licensed NPs fielded in late 2022 to examine NPs' current practice and intentions following implementation of the new regulations.

Protein-protein interactions underpin nearly all biological processes, and understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern these interactions is crucial for the progress of biomedical sciences. The emergence of artificial intelligence-driven computational tools can help reshape the methods of structural biology; however, model data often require empirical validation. The large scale of predictive modeling data will therefore benefit from optimized methodologies for the high-throughput biochemical characterization of protein-protein interactions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review evaluating the reported complications and outcomes of bone-anchored prostheses in digit and partial hand amputees.

Methods: A literature review of primary research articles on osseointegration and bone-anchored prostheses for digit and partial amputees was performed. The Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were queried.

Given their frontline role in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) healthcare, trainee medical officers (TMOs) will play a crucial role in the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) for clinical care, ongoing medical education and research. As 'digital natives', particularly those with technical expertise in AI, TMOs should also be leaders in informing the safe uptake and governance of AI within ANZ healthcare as they have a practical understanding of its associated risks and benefits. However, this is only possible if a culture of broad collaboration is instilled while the use of AI in ANZ is still in its initial phase.
