Pharmaceutical cocrystallization affords an opportunity to modify the physicochemical properties of a solid-state drug without covalent modification of its molecular structure. This review presents an update on various applications of pharmaceutical cocrystallization with considerations on both cocrystals and salts, focusing on the property modification relevant to clinical efficacy and safety, and manufacturability of drugs. Some prominent examples of drug cocrystals/salts, which exhibit improved solubility and/or permeability and pharmacokinetics, stability and mechanic properties, are highlighted.

Pharmaceutical cocrystallization: an effective approach to modulate the physicochemical properties of solid-state drugs

Simulation is widely used in nursing education. Previous studies have examined the impact of simulation on the acquisition of psychomotor skills, knowledge, critical thinking and non-technical skills such as teamwork. Challenges associated with the integration of simulation into nursing curricula have also been examined, however only limited research addresses the most effective simulation design and teaching strategies for quality educational outcomes. This paper reports a Delphi study that synthesises expert opinion on the pedagogical principles and teaching strategies that are indicative of quality in simulation based learning activities. The resultant set of Quality Indicator Statements is presented and opportunities for application and further research are discussed.

Introduction The standardized patient (SP) has assumed a fundamental role in undergraduate medical education since first conceived over 50 years ago. While widely used in student training and assessment of communication and clinical examination across health disciplines, little is known how SPs enhance knowledge or skill development among professionals. We conducted a systematic review to determine the effectiveness of SPs in continuing medical education (CME) programs. Methods Authors independently searched for studies published between 1966 and 2016, describing CME initiatives using SP encounters as practice for participants compared with those which did not. Studies assessing virtual patients or mannequins or employing SPs for assessment only were excluded. Learning outcomes were characterized according to the Kirkpatrick framework for determining the effectiveness of training programs. Results Four hundred eighty-eight studies were identified, but only five were eligible for analysis. Most were conducted with small numbers of primary care physicians in North America. CME topics related to opioid prescribing, breast cancer examination and cancer screening, smoking cessation, and chronic asthma management. In the two studies testing knowledge, no difference was found between intervention and control groups (Kirkpatrick level 2). Improved behaviors were demonstrated in breast cancer patient examination and interview and decreased opioid-prescribing rates among selected participants in two studies (Kirkpatrick level 3). Only one study investigated patient outcomes and found reduced rates of uncontrolled asthma in practices of physicians who were assigned to SP practice encounters in the CME training (Kirkpatrick level 4). Discussion There is little rigorous outcome study of CME programs incorporating SPs. Given the necessary human and fiscal resources associated with their use, our review highlights the need to reconsider the SP role in CME unless further purposeful evaluation to determine participant behavior change and related patient outcomes is pursued.

Exploring the paradox: A cross-sectional study of academic dishonesty among Australian nursing students.

Mapping the curriculum of a professional degree to the associated competency standard ensures graduates have the competence to perform as professionals Existing approaches to competence mapping vary greatly in depth, complexity, and effectiveness, and a standardised approach remains elusive This paper describes a new mapping software tool that streamlines and standardises the competency mapping process The available analytics facilitate ongoing programme review, management, and accreditation The complete mapping and analysis of an Australian mechanical engineering degree programme is described as a case study Each subject is mapped by evaluating the amount and depth of competence development present Combining subject results then enables highly detailed programme level analysis The mapping process is designed to be administratively light, with aspects of professional development embedded in the software The effective competence mapping described in this paper enables quantification of learning within a professional degree programme, and provides a mechanism for holistic programme improvement

Articulated education pathways between the vocational education training sector and universities provide opportunities for students wishing to progress to higher qualifications. Enrolled nurses seeking to advance their career in nursing can choose to enter baccalaureate degree programs through such alternative entry routes. Awarding of credit for prior studies is dependent on accurate assessment of the existing qualification against that which is sought. This study employed a modified Delphi method to inform the development of an evidence-based, structured approach to mapping the pathway from the nationally consistent training package of the Diploma of Nursing to the diversity of baccalaureate nursing programs across Australia. The findings of this study reflect the practical nature of the role of the enrolled nurse, particularly the greater emphasis placed on direct care activities as opposed to those related to professional development and the generation and use of evidence. These findings provide a valuable summative overview of the relationship between the Diploma of Nursing and the expectations of the registered nurse role.
