West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, 2024
West Virginia's three state-funded medical schools enroll more medical students per capita than any other state in the country. Due to its large number of medical student slots, the state typically can offer all qualified West Virginians the opportunity to complete their medical education in the state. In the academic year of 2023-2024, 27 percent…

Lin, Judith C. P. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2023
In higher education institutions, critical race theory (CRT) is known to be associated with fields that study racial disparities or systemic oppression such as law, education, and ethnic studies. The impression that CRT is unrelated to fields like business or computer science may have led scholars and practitioners from these disciplines to put…

Kiley, Anna; Jones, David; Hester, Carolyn; Coe, Michael; Ward, Tony – Science Teacher, 2022
In today's science classes, where standards are shifting toward engaging in scientific practices, a shift in science assessments to better reflect the skills and knowledge achieved in modern science classrooms is needed. If science is a discipline to be practiced rather than memorized, then science assessments should be designed to gauge a…

Norman, Geoffrey – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2020
The paper reviews 50 years of research in health sciences education and identifies several recurring controversies--formative versus summative assessment, high and low fidelity simulation, expertise as knowledge versus skills, and the impact of teaching versus curriculum. I then look at the role these may play in the current situation where COVID…

Vitali, Julian; Blackmore, Conner; Mortazavi, Siavash; Anderton, Ryan – International Journal of Higher Education, 2020
Anatomy and physiology courses are a foundation for numerous degrees, but experience some of the highest failure rates of all undergraduate health science programs (Higgins-Opitz & Tufts, 2014). While interventions have been developed in an attempt to remediate this concerning phenomenon, there is a paucity of evidence to determine the reason…
