This case study describes evidence-based practices employed by a collection of University of Washington projects that engage high school and postsecondary students with disabilities in work-based learning experiences such as industry and research internships, career development activities, job shadows, field trips, and mock interviews. The purpose of the article is two-fold. First, authors share best practices with others who wish to increase the participation of students with disabilities in work-based learning and thereby contribute to their academic and career success. The article discusses methods used to recruit students, employers and mentors, match students with specific opportunities, and prepare students for success. Second, authors share outcomes from studies regarding participation in these work-based learning opportunities, which include increased employment success, motivation to work toward a career, knowledge about careers and the workplace, job-related skills, ability to work with supervisors and coworkers, skills in self-advocating for accommodations, and perceived career options.

Professional judgement: a social practice perspective on a multiple mini-interview for specialty training selection.
BMC Med Educ
January 2025
Division of Learning and Teaching, Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, NSW, Australia.
Background: Interviewers' judgements play a critical role in competency-based assessments for selection such as the multiple-mini-interview (MMI). Much of the published research focuses on the psychometrics of selection and the impact of rater subjectivity. Within the context of selecting for entry into specialty postgraduate training, we used an interpretivist and socio-constructivist approach to explore how and why interviewers make judgments in high stakes selection settings whilst taking part in an MMI.

Article Synopsis
- Correlated outcomes often exist in practical problems, with one primary outcome of interest and others serving as auxiliary.
- Traditional multi-task learning (MTL) can lead to biased estimates when it's misapplied, as it averages losses across all outcomes.
- The new method developed combines MTL for efficiency with a calibration step focusing on the target outcome, resulting in lower estimation errors compared to using solely the main outcome.

Education Research: What Medical Students Value in Neurology Residents: A Qualitative Study to Inform Resident as Teacher Curricula.
Neurol Educ
June 2024
From the Department of Neurology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Background And Objectives: Residents are responsible for much of the formal and informal teaching of neurology clerkship medical students. High-quality resident teachers can enhance clerkship satisfaction, decrease neurophobia, and increase specialty interest. To train such residents, some institutions have developed resident as teacher (RAT) curricula.
