Integrating public health students into interprofessional education

ABSTRACT

Recognizing the public health professional are critical members of interprofessional teams, the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) recently added a required Masters of Public Health (MPH) student competency focused on interprofessional education (IPE). A student-centered approach to the design and evaluation of an emergency preparedness-focused curricular program to meet the interprofessional needs of MPH students was used to meet this expectation at the University of Washington. Curriculum design was informed by two 80-minute listening sessions with MPH students to better understand their current interprofessional educational experiences and needs, and how an emergency preparedness-focused two-hour Interprofessional Active Learning Series (iPALS) session could help them develop interprofessional competency. The resultant iPALS session was assessed with a short, paper-based questionnaire. We found MPH students have an interest in participating in IPE, and that all students who participated in the emergency preparedness-focused iPALS session reported significant increases in their interprofessional and disaster response abilities based on their pre- and post-session evaluations. Student-centered IPE curriculum focused on emergency preparedness can enhance the self-reported ability of students across the health sciences to perform on interprofessional teams while engaging in a topic that has relevance to MPH students.     

Nationwide survey of Arima syndrome: Revised diagnostic criteria from epidemiological analysis

Aim: We have never known any epidemiological study of Arima syndrome since it was first described in 1971. To investigate the number of Arima syndrome patients and clarify the clinical differences between Arima syndrome and Joubert syndrome, we performed the first nationwide survey of Arima syndrome, and herein report its results. Furthermore, we revised the diagnostic criteria for Arima syndrome. Methods: As a primary survey, we sent out self-administered questionnaires to most of the Japanese hospitals with a pediatric clinic, and facilities for persons with severe motor and intellectual disabilities, inquiring as to the number of patients having symptoms of Arima syndrome, including severe psychomotor delay, agenesis or hypoplasia of cerebellar vermis, renal dysfunction, visual dysfunction and with or without ptosis-like appearance. Next, as the second survey, we sent out detailed clinical questionnaires to the institutes having patients with two or more typical symptoms. Results: The response rate of the primary survey was 72.7% of hospitals with pediatric clinic, 63.5% of national hospitals and 66.7% of municipal and private facilities. The number of patients with 5 typical symptoms was 13 and that with 2–4 symptoms was 32. The response rate of the secondary survey was 52% (23 patients). After reviewing clinical features of 23 patients, we identified 7 Arima syndrome patients and 16 Joubert syndrome patients. Progressive renal dysfunction was noticed in all Arima syndrome patients, but in 33% of those with Joubert syndrome. Conclusion: It is sometimes difficult to distinguish Arima syndrome from Joubert syndrome. Some clinicians described a patient with Joubert syndrome and its complications of visual dysfunction and renal dysfunction, whose current diagnosis was Arima syndrome. Thus, the diagnosis of the two syndromes may be confused. Here, we revised the diagnostic criteria for Arima syndrome.
