A Model Description For The Transition From Multiprofessional To Interprofessional Courses, John E. Vitale, Reed Brooks, Ms, Pa (Ascp)

JCIPE 2012

Transitioning from multiprofessional to interprofessional courses requires a commitment on behalf of the faculty of the programs represented within these courses. Through the development of advisory committees, creation and implementation of curricula, obtainment of pre- and post-test data and course evaluations this transition can be achieved.

The Pathologists’ Assistant Department at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science is currently involved in a transition of many of its students’ courses from multiprofessional to interprofessional; one such example is the Neuroscience course which combines Pathologists’ Assistant, Physical Therapy, and Podiatry students. This transition includes the formation of an advisory group, review …

The Job Opportunity Investment Network Education On Diabetes In Urban Populations (Joined-Up) Project, Rickie Brawer, James D. Plumb, Neva White, David Madison, Pamela Harrod-Smith

JCIPE 2012

Diabetes and obesity are inter-related health issues that impact many aspects of daily living, including workplace productivity and efficiency. Obese individuals are less likely to be employed and more often absent from work. Nearly one billion dollars per year is attributed to lost productivity for reasons relating to diabetes including early retirement, increased sick days, disability and premature mortality.

Utilizing an interdisciplinary team of a physician, public health staff, nursing and health educators, the Job Opportunity Investment Network Education on Diabetes in Urban Populations (JOINED-UP) is a diabetes and obesity healthy lifestyle education program that is embedded in a Green …

JCIPE 2012

A partnership between the Rwanda Village Concept Project (RVCP), a medical student program in Butare, and Jeff HEALTH (Helping East Africans Link to Health), a multidisciplinary student organization at ThomasJeffersonUniversity, has been working in two Rwandan villages for the past five years. Initially, The Rwanda Health and Healing Project consisted of two programs, a Genocide Survivors Village Transformation and creation of a GenocideMemorial Park. These programs lead to a comprehensive community health assessment, which: 1) documented the needs through key informant interviews and focus groups; 2) identified health resources currently available; and 3) reviewed needs in context of the social …

Seminar (56 PowerPoint slides)

Purpose: The purpose of this seminar is to describe and discuss the effectiveness of an educational module designed to incorporate opportunities for interprofessional learning (IPL) and collaboration into the professional curricula of 4 disciplines. The seminar will invite participants to share their experiences with redefining education to include opportunities for IPL when limited time and resources are available.

Background: Working effectively on interprofessional healthcare teams requires prior preparation. Academic institutions can play a key role in this process by creating opportunities for IPL and collaboration prior to graduation. An increasing number of schools are looking for …

Egr-1 Induces Darpp-32 Expression In Striatal Medium Spiny Neurons Via A Conserved Intragenic Element., Serene Keilani, Samira Chandwani, Georgia Dolios, Alexey Bogush, Heike Beck, Antonis K Hatzopoulos, Gadiparthi N Rao, Elizabeth A Thomas, Rong Wang, Michelle E Ehrlich

Farber Institute for Neuroscience Faculty Papers

DARPP-32 (dopamine and adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, 32 kDa) is a striatal-enriched protein that mediates signaling by dopamine and other first messengers in the medium spiny neurons. The transcriptional mechanisms that regulate striatal DARPP-32 expression remain enigmatic and are a subject of much interest in the efforts to induce a striatal phenotype in stem cells. We report the identification and characterization of a conserved region, also known as H10, in intron IV of the gene that codes for DARPP-32 (Ppp1r1b). This DNA sequence forms multiunit complexes with nuclear proteins from adult and embryonic striata of mice and rats. …

Signal Transducer And Activator Of Transcription-5 Mediates Neuronal Apoptosis Induced By Inhibition Of Rac Gtpase Activity., Trisha R Stankiewicz, F Alexandra Loucks, Emily K Schroeder, Marja T Nevalainen, Kenneth L Tyler, Klaus Aktories, Ron J Bouchard, Daniel A Linseman

Department of Cancer Biology Faculty Papers

In several neuronal cell types, the small GTPase Rac is essential for survival. We have shown previously that the Rho family GTPase inhibitor Clostridium difficile toxin B (ToxB) induces apoptosis in primary rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) principally via inhibition of Rac GTPase function. In the present study, incubation with ToxB activated a proapoptotic Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway, and a pan-JAK inhibitor protected CGNs from Rac inhibition. STAT1 expression was induced by ToxB; however, CGNs from STAT1 knock-out mice succumbed to ToxB-induced apoptosis as readily as wild-type CGNs. STAT3 displayed enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation following …
