Substantive changes in our evaluation of applicants have been implemented in response to the findings of the various phases of outcomes assessment. This article will describe the changes that have been implemented as a result of analyzing the association of pre-veterinary academic, subjective, and behavioral-event interview scores with veterinary students' performance in the DVM program, including clinical competencies, and their performance on the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination. Pre-veterinary academic performance predicted academic performance in veterinary school. Subjective measures did not, and we have reduced the faculty workload associated with that part of the evaluation of applicants. Interview scores provide additional but small value in predicting performance on clinical competencies.

On the Limits of Anonymization for Promoting Diversity in Organizations.
Pers Soc Psychol Bull

Anonymization of job applicant resumes is a recommended strategy to increase diversity in organizations, but large-scale tests have shown mixed results. We consider decision-makers' social dominance orientation (SDO), a measure of anti-egalitarianism/endorsement of group-based hierarchy, to illustrate the limits of anonymization. Across four pre-registered studies ( = 3,150), we show that (a) lower SDO individuals are less likely to hire individuals from underrepresented groups when job materials are anonymized and (b) they are more likely to opt into using anonymization.

Background And Objectives: The residency application process relies on interviews, which allow programs and applicants to assess one another. Historically, interviews were conducted in person at each program. With the advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, residency interviews shifted to a virtual format.

Scientific bodies overseeing UV radiation protection recommend safety limits for exposure to ultraviolet radiation in the workplace based on published peer-reviewed data. To support this goal, a 3D model of the human cornea was used to assess the wavelength dependence of corneal damage induced by UV-C radiation. In the first set of experiments the models were exposed with or without simulated tears; at each wavelength (215-255 nm) cells with DNA dimers and their distribution within the epithelium were measured.

Article Synopsis
- Cell-based therapies, which are considered "living drugs," are complex and their safety evaluation, particularly for tumorigenicity, is crucial due to risks posed by residual undifferentiated cells.
- Factors like the source, differentiation status, and administration methods affect the tumor risk associated with these therapies and must be considered thoughtfully during evaluations.
- There's a lack of global consensus on tumorigenicity assessment standards, with varying regulations and practices around the world, but there are efforts to clarify strategies and focus areas for evaluating tumorigenicity in cell-based therapies.
