Objective: To determine volunteer preceptors' perceived value and desired frequency of quality assurance visits by experiential education faculty members.
Methods: An electronic survey instrument was sent to 235 volunteer preceptors.
Results: A 71.5% response rate was achieved. Nearly 90% of respondents indicated that onsite visits met their needs. Approximately 50% of respondents preferred monthly onsite visits, 17% preferred every other month, and 32% preferred once per year.
Conclusions: A quality assurance program for preceptors and experiential sites that includes onsite visits from experiential education faculty members meets multiple needs of the college and the preceptors. More research is needed to determine the impact of this method of quality assurance on experiential education.

Charting the path to the implementation of universal health coverage policy in Nigeria through the lens of Delphi methodology.

Society for Family Health, Abuja, Nigeria.
Background: Expanding access to equitable health insurance is an important lever towards the overall strategy for achieving universal health coverage. In Nigeria, health insurance coverage is low with a renewed government action on increasing access to and coverage of high-quality healthcare services to citizens, particularly for the vulnerable and poor population. Therefore, our study co-creates the priorities for expanding health insurance in Nigeria, focusing on key policy reforms, public advocacy, and innovative financing strategies to ensure broader and more equitable coverage for the population.

The sex chromosomes contain complex, important genes impacting medical phenotypes, but differ from the autosomes in their ploidy and large repetitive regions. To enable technology developers along with research and clinical laboratories to evaluate variant detection on male sex chromosomes X and Y, we create a small variant benchmark set with 111,725 variants for the Genome in a Bottle HG002 reference material. We develop an active evaluation approach to demonstrate the benchmark set reliably identifies errors in challenging genomic regions and across short and long read callsets.

This review explores the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in radiation oncology, focusing on computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. We examined CV-based AI/ML in digital pathology and radiomics, highlighting the prospective clinical studies demonstrating their utility. We also reviewed NLP-based AI/ML applications in clinical documentation analysis, knowledge assessment, and quality assurance.

Cross-species single-cell RNA-seq data hold immense potential for unraveling cell type evolution and transferring knowledge between well-explored and less-studied species. However, challenges arise from interspecific genetic variation, batch effects stemming from experimental discrepancies and inherent individual biological differences. Here, we benchmarked nine data-integration methods across 20 species, encompassing 4.
