Background: There is a lack of published literature linking the nursing student experience and program evaluation relationship. A mixed-methods approach was used to improve the nursing student experience through faculty, staff, and student engagement.
Method: A student experience initiative was launched in 2016. A 3-year plan was developed by an external consultant and steering committee. A process to prioritize improvement needs across all programs was used, with program-specific plans, faculty engagement, and results in a graduate-entry nursing program.
Results: Student satisfaction ratings on exit surveys increased from 1 of 10 at the start of the initiative in 2016 to 8 of 10 in 2021. Continuous improvement and engagement are needed to maintain student satisfaction in nursing education.
Conclusion: This initiative can serve as a framework for other educational partners to consider adopting to enhance the nursing student experience and improve program outcomes. .

"The Environment Fostered True Growth": Harnessing Coaching on an Innovative Medicine Sub-internship.
J Gen Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine, Section of Hospital Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Medicine sub-internships aim to prepare students for residency. However, the traditional sub-internship structure, with multiple learners at varied levels, poses obstacles to providing the clinical exposure, learning environment, and direct observation and feedback necessary to develop essential skills.
Aim: Investigate the educational experience of learners on a coaching-centered sub-internship (CCSI) on a resident uncovered ward service.
Faculty rewards from course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) in biochemistry.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) courses. These courses provide research opportunities for many more students than are typically exposed to traditional independent research experiences, including women, historically underrepresented groups in science, and non-traditional students. However, the benefits for faculty who teach CURE courses have been less well documented, potentially discouraging faculty from offering such courses.

We hosted a nine-week NIH-funded summer undergraduate research experience in Environmental Health Sciences, the New College Environmental Health Science Scholars program, in which undergraduate students who were rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors receive both professional development and mentored research opportunities. In addition to this standard model of a summer research program, we added an additional professional development and skill-building activity, a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) performed by the whole group. Students designed and carried out an experiment in the CURE research project looking at the relationship between soil elemental content and sampling site location.

Striving for excellence in a little red dot: Exploring the evolution of oral and maxillofacial surgery training and practice in Singapore.
J Dent Sci

Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is a field that straddles knowledge and clinical experience from both medical and dental specialties. In the small island nation of Singapore, the rapidly and constantly changing needs of its diverse and aging population, as well as changes in the mindsets of both students and educators have led to many developments in the local OMS program. Tied to the only dental school in the country, the curriculum of the training program has kept up with the changes in the demographics and attitudes of the local patient pool, which comprises a multicultural population with both traditional and modern mindsets.
