Getting Started as a Medical Teacher in Times of Change
No full textMedical school teaching is a skill that is very often learned on the job. The faculty comprised of researchers and clinicians are expert in many biomedical disciplines, but familiarity with learning theories and pedagogy are usually not included in their knowledge and skill sets. The pressure to see patients and acquire extramural funding leaves little time for faculty to learn how to teach. When coupled with the natural attrition of senior faculty it is necessary to start junior faculty on the correct path to being effective medical educators who are capable of lecturing and facilitating. Institutions cannot afford to have medical educators learn through trial and error. The standards set by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) are also creating an urgency to produce competent teachers as quickly as possible. Novice teachers need to be able to use these standards to align their teaching with goals, objectives and the appropriate pedagogy. This article is designed to be a self-directed guide describing some essentials that a newly hired faculty member can quickly use to get started. An institutional faculty development program can then serve to build upon and enrich the experience for the new faculty member.This is the authors' accepted manuscript of the article.

Did I turn off the gas? Reality monitoring of everyday actions.
No full textFailing to remember whether we performed, or merely imagined performing, an everyday action can occasionally be inconvenient but, in some circumstances, can have potentially dangerous consequences. In this fMRI study, we investigated brain activity patterns, and objective and subjective behavioral measures, associated with recollecting such everyday actions. We used an ecologically-valid 'reality monitoring' paradigm in which participants performed, or imagined performing, specified actions with real objects drawn from one of two boxes. Lateral brain areas, including prefrontal cortex, were active when participants recollected both the actions that had been associated with objects and the locations from which they had been drawn, consistent with a general role in source recollection. By contrast, medial prefrontal and motor regions made more specific contributions, with supplementary motor cortex activity associated with recollection decisions about actions but not locations, and medial prefrontal cortex exhibiting greater activity when remembering performed rather than imagined actions. The results support a theoretical interpretation of reality monitoring that entails the fine-grained discrimination between multiple forms of internally- and externally-generated information

The conjoint quest for a liberal positive program: "Old Chicago", Freiburg and Hayek
No full textJames M. Buchanan's latest contribution to the post-crisis debate in political economy underpins the necessity to reexamine the legacy of the Old Chicago School of thought, being urged by Buchanan's recently stressed plea at the 2009 Regional Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society and at the Summer Institute for the Preservation of the History of Economic Thought in 2010. The focus of the current paper is to follow his plea by exploring the central topoi of the 1930's debate of the Chicago School as seen from the work of Henry Simons and discuss its impact on the academic arena on both sides of the Atlantic thereafter. With respect to this impact, we highlight Friedrich A. von Hayek as the focal scholar who possibly transmits these topoi that later influenced the rise of Freiburgean ordoliberalism in Germany from the mid-1930's onwards as youngest archival findings suggest. By revisiting the MPS 1947 first meeting's minutes and papers, we stress the proximity in mind of Old Chicago, Hayek and the Freiburg School ordo-liberals by contributing an explanation for the surprisingly homogenous direction of these yet unconnected schools of thought. n a next, enhanced version of this project, we will subsequently re-discuss the intellectual origins of Constitutional Political Economy's research program. Following Viktor Vanberg, we argue that CPE can be interpreted as a modernized perspective on economics that carries forward three strands of transatlantic liberal programs, being precisely Old Chicago, Freiburg and Hayek. --
Portrait of Richard F. Jackson
No full textRichard F. “Ric” Jackson received his B.A. in applied mathematics from Johns Hopkins University (1969), an M.S. in systems engineering from Southern Methodist
University in (1970); and a D.Sc. in operations research
from George Washington University (1983). He began his career at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) as an operations research analyst in the Applied Mathematics Division in 1971. He held a series of increasingly responsible scientific and management positions and served as the U.S. Government representative on a number of national and international committees. In his NIST research, Jackson specialized in modeling complex operations addressing scheduling, routing, and facility-layout problems in flexible manufacturing systems. He published widely in the fields of flexible manufacturing, technology transfer, mathematical modeling and non-linear optimization.
In 1988 he was director of the NBS Manufacturing Technology Center’s program during its first year. The program was the forerunner of NIST’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEL). Jackson was named Deputy Director of MEL in 1989 and Director in 1996. He retired from NIST in 2000 moving to Austin Texas as Executive Director of the FIATECH Consortium for ten years.
Among the numerous awards he received were two
Department of Commerce Silver Medals and a NIST Bronze Medal. He was the author of more than 100 publications. He died on November 6, 2024
