Since launching the program in 2005 BioQuest modules (e.g., half-day job shadows, teacher professional development programs, summer internships and the BioQuest Academy) involve the participation of 100 120 Seattle BioMed scientists per year and deliver activities and curriculum of varying duration and rigor all relating to Seattle BioMed research focus.
But all of them, from the quality of the teachers to the curriculum to the intensity and duration of the intervention, affect long-term outcomes.
For instance, codes such as training duration, curriculum, and certification (under the 'relative advantage' diffusion of innovations condition) were first collated as CHA competence (potential theme), before being developed into perceived good training.
This preliminary approach included discussion on the following issues: (1) the desired model of MSUS education, (2) the theoretical and practical curriculum, (3) the proposed course schedule and duration and (4) the requirements and restrictions for attendance at the courses.
In the AL curriculum, clerkship duration varies between one and eight weeks and students rotate through 22 disciplines.
Extracted data focused on the clerkship (country, setting, location in the curriculum, duration, aims and objectives) and study methodology (design, data sources, population and measured outcomes).
In one study, Beal et al. [ 13] compared the effectiveness of different curriculum delivery strategies (e.g., e-mail versus web site) and duration of delivery in providing Internet-based CME.
Medical Human Factors awareness training initiatives may vary in curriculum, duration, intensity and follow-on support.
