ABSTRACT: Recent education reform proposals eventually will lead to lengthier professional preparation programs for school health educators. Many of the proposals are based on unwarranted assumptions and myths about teacher education as well as an idealized view of undergraduate liberal studies. In addition to using research findings to challenge these assumptions, trends in accreditation by the National Council on Accreditation of Teacher Education and alternative certification are analyzed. One possible extended program model is subsequently offered. (J Sch Health. 1990;60(10):487–492) 1990 American School Health Association

A randomized controlled trial was performed to study the effect on various teaching techniques on students performing sacroiliac motion palpation tests. This trial assessed the interexaminer reliability of interns in their final year at a chiropractic college, and compared their results prior to and following 1 year of clinical experience. The study also compared the intra- and interexaminer reliability of experienced clinicians. The results were analyzed via the Kappa coefficient. Kappa values for interns ranged from 0.00 to 0.30, with no significant differences noted at the end of 1 year of clinical experience. The interexaminer reliability of experienced clinicians was 0.00 to 0.167, whereas their intraexaminer reliability ranged from 0.15 to 1.00. These results question the role of experience in improving clinical accuracy between examiners performing sacroiliac motion palpation. Results analyzed for intraexaminer agreement were moderate to almost perfect. We conclude that experience does not play a significant role in the diagnostic test analyzed, but rather that clinicians may establish their own criteria by which to determine the standards of a given test.

Fieldwork constitutes approximately thirty‐five per cent of occupational therapy undergraduate programme of study. It is of concern to occupational therapy educators that the fieldwork portion of the curriculum be planned and implemented to provide educationally sound learning experiences. Whatever the level of training and experience of fieldwork supervisors, implementation of a fieldwork training programme which will provide the necessary levels of learning, is dependent on the supervisor's understanding and use of methods of supervision. These include a knowledge of learning theories, skill in directing, supervising and guiding students in the performance of desired action. This paper will focus on effective and ineffective supervisors and how an understanding of student learning styles can increase the supervisor's ability to provide quality learning experience. 1986 Occupational Therapy Australia Limited

The number of aged persons in the United States is rising steadily. Rehabilitation medicine is becoming increasingly involved in providing the care necessary to keep aging individuals in good health so that the onset of late life disability can be delayed and social independence be maintained for as long as possible. For this reason, education in geriatric rehabilitation must become an essential part of training programs for residents in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The curriculum of these programs must be broad based and must include many of the general aspects of geriatric medicine even though they may relate only peripherally to rehabilitation. One faculty member should be charged with the responsibility of organizing the educational program. He should maintain liaison with faculty members of other departments who have expertise in the problems of the aging. Some of the teaching can be done by lectures and seminars but much of it should be carried out in clinical settings such as in-patient facilities, out-patient departments, home health services and day-care programs. Nursing homes might offer suitable training facilities provided that adequate supervision and teaching are available. Every effort should be made to overcome prejudices that may exist with regard to the care and rehabilitation of a geriatric population.

Awareness that the competent family physician in the community is the key person in providing economic and effective health services is increasing. In Israel, as in most Western countries, this need is being met by postgraduate vocational training in family medicine. In Israel, the 4-yr curriculum, after completion of the compulsory internship year, consists of 27 mo in rotating residencies in approved hospital wards, followed by 21 mo in approved teaching practices, under the supervision of family physician tutors. A formal course of academic studies or work in one of the basic medical sciences is required, as are the Board of Family Medicine mandatory examinations. Now it is necessary to reach a consensus on the future scope and content of family medicine as an independent discipline that can provide comprehensive, continuous, accessible, and coordinated health care to all family members in the practice population, both in their homes and in clinics. There is also a need to recognize that academic and clinical teaching and research are as much a part of the family physician's task as is his service commitment, and that adequate facilities must be provided.

A humanistic education model was implemented in a 2-year associate degree curriculum for occupational therapy assistants. The goal of this model was to help students to become responsible and successful with their own lives. This prepares students with higher levels of ability to cope effectively with clients in crises. The curriculum presented here supports the framework of The American Occupational Therapy Association role delineation document (Entry-Level Role Delineation for OTRs and COTAs, approved by the Representative Assembly, AOTA, March 1981).
