2020-Current year OA Pubs

Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) is an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy approved for relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Despite extensive data supporting its use, outcomes stratified by race and ethnicity groups are limited. Here, we report clinical outcomes with axi-cel in patients with R/R LBCL by race and ethnicity in both real-world and clinical trial settings. In the real-world setting, 1290 patients who received axi-cel between 2017 and 2020 were identified from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database; 106 and 169 patients were included from the ZUMA-1 and ZUMA-7 trials, respectively.

Khi Ăn, Nhai Kỹ (When Eating, Chew Carefully): Poetry Collection, Ngoc My T. Tran

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

In this poetry collection, I used my own experiences as a Vietnamese-American to present a realistic image of life in America as a minority. With the use of translanguaging and presentation of social norms in both Vietnamese and American cultures, my hope is to promote awareness of issues such as racism, colorism, body shaming, and language insecurity among Asian communities so that these problems can be healthily addressed. Khi ăn, nhai kỹ (When eating, chew carefully) is a Vietnamese proverb and is similar to the saying "think before you speak," by naming the collection this, it serves as an underlying …

Establishing An Antiracist Foundation In School Counselor Preparation: A Self Study, Caroline Lopez-Perry, Jacob Olsen, Fedelia Suleiman, Julaina Juarez

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

This article will discuss the findings from a collaborative self-study involving two school counseling faculty, one graduate student, and an alumna of the school counseling program who is now a first-year school counselor. Given the dearth of research exploring EducatorCounselor identity development, the researchers sought to understand how faculty prepare pre-service school counselors to engage in antiracist practices through institutional and andragogical practices and how students experience these practices in developing their EducatorCounselor identity. The findings will provide a framework for antiracist foundations in school counselor preparation and illustrate the practices needed for school counselor educators to actualize antiracist work.

The Evaluation Of A Hip Hop And School Counselor Education Course, Ian P. Levy, James Norris, Lanita Jefferson

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

The training of future school counselors to integrate school-based mental health resources has never been as important within a climate where US schools replicate the racial violence and fear we see nationally, at the expense of wellbeing. Fostering multicultural counseling competencies in school counselors are critical for their tackling of the challenges that historically marginalized and culturally diverse individuals, groups, and communities face. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a Hip Hop-based school counselor education course on the development of graduate student’s multicultural competence. Results from qualitative analysis of course assignments indicated that graduate school …

To capture select school counselor educators’ values and practices, the authors of the current study performed a descriptive phenomenological study using semi-structured interview questions to elicit the experiences of six school counselor educators who received federal funding to increase the diversity and quality of mental health services in public schools. Findings included the following five themes: 1) perspectives of professional identity; 2) equity, social justice, and inclusion; 3) pedagogical strategies in training program; 4) collaboration …

The Agile School Counselor Training Model: Fostering A Nonbinary Professional Identity, Laurie A. Carlson, Lorraine Dekruyf, Diana Gruman

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

The authors offer the Agile School Counselor Training Model as a multidimensional framework that provides counselor educators and school counselors-in-training (SCITs) a visual schema for fostering a non-binary professional school counselor identity. The model covers the full spectrum of work school counselors engage in, ranging from mental health professional to educational professional, as well as a continuum of practice that ranges from a focus on the personal to a focus on the systemic. This article reviews the pendulum swings of school counselor professional identity, introduces the Agile Model, and offers implications for practice for counselor educators and SCITs.

Supporting Clinical Mental Health Counseling Doctoral Supervisors In Supervising School Counselors-In-Training: Challenges And Strategies For Integration, Yu-Hsun Peng, Derron Hilts, Yanhong Liu

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

This conceptual article underscores the critical need for tailored supervision for school counselors-in-training (SCITs), emphasizing challenges arising from differences in training, role ambiguity, and limited understanding of pK-12 educational contexts when overseen by doctoral supervisors with clinical mental health counseling (CMHC) backgrounds. We advocate for enhanced training and support for doctoral students from CMHC backgrounds to more effectively supervise SCITs. Bridging the gap between SCITs and counselor education doctoral training, we emphasize adjustments to supervision training and implications for the supervision of school counselor trainees.

The provided strategies help school counselor educators promote reflection, increase knowledge, and enhance skill development …

The Pursuit Of A Combined Educator-Counselor Identity: Gaps And Opportunities In School Counselor Training Scholarship, Ian Levy, Natalie A. Edirmanasinghe, Kara Ieva, Sam Steen

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

This special issue focuses exclusively on the training of future school counselors to adopt a non-dual and non-hierarchical identity as an EducatorCounselor. It is long documented that the school counselors’ straddling the worlds of education and counseling have led to identity and role confusion. Concerns about school counselors’ identity have persisted amidst changes in the counseling profession and resulted in a notable schism among leaders and professional associations. Building on the Levy and Lemberger-Truelove (2021) proposition that school counselors are EducatorCounselors, or school-building educators who consistently engage in educational tasks while being oriented by counseling, articles within this special issue …

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: Directors of clinical education (DCEs) need knowledge and skills in many areas to succeed in their roles.Not only does the DCE need to master the traditional faculty roles of scholarship, service, and teaching, but the DCE also needs to become competent in administrative duties. Lack of training, especially in research, can negatively affect the DCEs’ ability to perform their responsibilities effectively and efficiently. In this study, we aimed to examine how DCEs learn their numerous roles and how training and experience influence self-perceived competence. Method: In this quantitative, non-experimental study, we used an online survey to obtain information from …

Self-Compassion And Occupational Engagement To Promote Overall Well-Being In Graduate Health Professions Students, Elena Wong Espiritu, Cynthia Evetts

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Background: Evidence suggests that there is an increasing trend of graduate students experiencing poor well-being during their educational experience. Health professions students are at an even higher risk for psychological and psychosocial distress. However, there is limited programming to promote graduate student well-being provided in academic settings as most programming is focused on undergraduate students. Purpose: The primary purpose of this exploratory predictive and descriptive, cross-sectional survey study was to determine if self-compassion and occupational engagement constructs (engagement in meaningful occupations, occupational balance, physical activity) significantly predict overall well-being constructs (general psychological distress, health, wellness, general well-being, psychological well-being) in …
