Field education is the signature pedagogy of social work education, but there is no standardized mechanism to ensure field instructors are trained in the same clinical modalities as social work students or are well-trained in the provision of clinical supervision. Feasibility was assessed of providing field instructors (n = 9) with a continuing education (CE) program to train them in a specialized evidence-based practice, motivational interviewing (MI) in a recovery context, and strategies for supervision. Participants of the CE program gained confidence (p < .05) and knowledge in the spirit (p < .01) and skills (p < .001) of MI; while participants described initial reactions of disdain when role-plays were introduced in the training, they ultimately identified role-plays and facilitator modeling as key features in producing their own practice change and mimicked the use of parallel process - using MI as a way to teach MI - in their provision of supervision. Findings suggest that offering a CE program to train field instructors in a specialized evidence-based practice embedded in course work and strategies for supervision is feasible and may result in enhanced supervision in field education.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful diagnostic tool that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. This article examines the challenges associated with MRI, particularly focusing on patient anxiety and claustrophobic reactions that can lead to aborted scans. It discusses the use of anxiolytics, especially benzodiazepines, to manage these issues, while highlighting the potential risks of respiratory depression and other adverse outcomes in select patient populations.

Background And Purpose: Collaborative clinical education models where 2 or more students are supervised by one clinical instructor in a clinical setting effectively support student learning and self-confidence. Use of collaborative models in specialized clinical education settings has not been widely adopted. This paper explores using Kern's 6-step approach to develop and implement a collaborative clinical education model.

Over the past 20-30 years, numerous studies have expanded our understanding of the connective components within the human musculoskeletal system. The term "fascia" and, more specifically, the "fascial system" encompass a variety of connective tissues that perform multiple functions. Given the extensive scope of the topic of fascia and the fascial system, which cannot be fully addressed in a single article, this work will focus specifically on the role of fascia in tension transmission (mechanotransduction).

Department of Preventive Medicine, Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Rua Botucatu, N 740 - Vila Clementino, São Paulo, SP, 04023-062, Brazil.

Background: The widely implemented prevention program in Brazil, PROERD (a translated version of the DARE-kiR program), showed no evidence of effect in preventing drug use in a recent trial. The lack of cultural adaptation and instructors' deviations from the curriculum were identified as potential reasons for its ineffectiveness. This study aims to identify points of inadequacy of the PROERD program for the Brazilian culture, suggesting strategies for revising the curriculum to improve implementation.
