Regression analyses found that overall context significantly predicted the use of EBPPM for RNs and providers although no one element-individual, unit, or hospital-was identified as more important. The effect of context on EBNPP did not differ by profession in this sample. Future research should focus on the overall influence of context on EBP and consider other factors that may play a role in the uptake of EBP.
Training programs in basic medical research and education have become increasingly specialized in recent years. The number of active basic research scientists with a comprehensive understanding of human biology, and specifically human anatomy, is rapidly decreasing. In response to this documented trend, Vanderbilt University initiated a Scientist‐Educator Program in 2005 to provide a coordinated curriculum where post‐doctoral fellows could obtain a cutting‐edge research experience coupled to in‐depth training in medical education initially focused on a gross anatomy curriculum. Now established, this three/four year program has expanded to include training fellows in neuroscience and will begin to explore training in other areas of need in medical education. Building upon the Program's documented strengths, the leadership team seeks to grow and establish itself as a nationally‐recognized leader in this important area of biomedical science. We will present our curriculum, databases on recruitment, fellow placement, and future plans.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
