Utilizing a thematic analysis approach, this case study investigated cooperating teachers' (CTs) knowledge and experience of the educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) in physical and health education. Participants were 14 certified physical education (PE) and/or health education CTs from a single school district in Alabama. Data were collected through one-on-one interviews; Nvivo software was employed to store, organize, and code the data, and data analysis utilized analytic induction and constant comparison techniques. Five themes emerged regarding edTPA preparation of these participants: (a) a lack of teacher training and resources, (b) receipt of informal information from teacher candidates (TCs), (c) perceptions of providing inadequate support, (d) CT experience with obtaining parental waivers and class recordings, and (e) a perceived edTPA tradeoff of increased stress for teacher development. There was a clear need in this district to: (a) better promote edTPA training opportunities, (b) consider compulsory edTPA training for CTs who supervised TCs, (c) share edTPA training handouts and resources with CTs, and (d) ensure that university faculty clearly communicate edTPA requirements to CTs.

Case-Based Virtual Reality Simulation for Severe Pelvic Trauma Clinical Skill Training in Medical Students: Design and Pilot Study.
JMIR Med Educ
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Background: Teaching severe pelvic trauma poses a significant challenge in orthopedic surgery education due to the necessity of both clinical reasoning and procedural operational skills for mastery. Traditional methods of instruction, including theoretical teaching and mannequin practice, face limitations due to the complexity, the unpredictability of treatment scenarios, the scarcity of typical cases, and the abstract nature of traditional teaching, all of which impede students' knowledge acquisition.
Objective: This study aims to introduce a novel experimental teaching methodology for severe pelvic trauma, integrating virtual reality (VR) technology as a potent adjunct to existing teaching practices.

Background: No questionnaire is currently available for use in patients with shoulder pain in an Indonesian-speaking population. This study aimed to translate the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) into Indonesian and assess its validity and reliability for use in Indonesian-speaking patients with shoulder pain.
Methods: After a forward and backward translation procedure, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were investigated.
Developing teachers' competency for inclusive education in Ethiopia.

Centre of Excellence in Disabilities, Faculty of Education, University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa.
Background: In light of the increasing diversity within school populations globally, a pressing need arises for nations to prioritise the enhancement of teachers' competencies in implementing inclusive education, recognising the central role teacher education programmes play in addressing this imperative. Teacher education programmes centred on inclusion not only respond to this global priority but also wield influence on teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy and stress levels when engaging with diverse learners.
Objectives: The study presents an analysis of the effectiveness of a teacher education programme in Ethiopia in developing teachers' competencies for inclusion.
Moving toward Interprofessional Teaching in the Intensive Care Unit: A Mixed Methods Study.

Background: There is an evolving focus on interprofessional education (IPE) to promote teamwork and collaboration in health professions education. Studies in medical students have shown that exposure to IPE leads to perceived improvements in interprofessional communication, effective work in healthcare teams, and understanding of professional limitations. Most research focuses on IPE in undergraduate medical education; less is known about how this functions in graduate medical education.

Purpose: Vericiguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator, has been demonstrated effective in improving prognosis of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, there are limited data concerning the effect of vericiguat in patients with doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC). In this study, we investigated the effects of vericiguat on cardiac structure and function in rats with DIC as well as their potential mechanisms of action.
