Reimagining the Medical School Accreditation Process in a Rapidly Changing Health Care Environment
Health care is changing rapidly due to advances in biomedical science and technology, as well as an expanding body of medical knowledge. This transformation necessitates a reevaluation of medical education models. The medical school accreditation process, administered through the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) for MD-granting schools in the United States and Canada, plays a crucial role in maintaining educational standards. However…

Social cohesion, trust, and utilisation of maternal health services among refugee and host community women in Bangladesh and Kenya
The global refugee crisis places significant pressure on host communities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Social cohesion and trust between refugee and host communities are critical for maternal health service utilisation. This study explores the relationship between host-refugee trust, social cohesion, and maternal health service use in Bangladesh and Kenya, focusing on facility-based delivery, antenatal care visits, and postn…
In Search of a “Metric System” for Measuring Faculty Effort
Ten Questions to Guide Learners Seeking Equitable Global Health Experiences Abroad
“Global health experiences,” clinical and research learning opportunities where learners from high-income country (HIC) institutions travel to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), are becoming increasingly popular and prolific in the health sciences. Increased interest has been well documented among medical, pharmacy, and nursing learners who are driving these agendas at their institutions. Although such opportunities have potential to mutua…
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among non-refugees and refugees in Kenya
Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (which we define as refusal to be vaccinated when asked, resulting in delayed or non- vaccination) are poorly studied in sub-Saharan Africa and among refugees, particularly in Kenya. Using survey data from wave five (March to June 2021) of the Kenya Rapid Response Phone Survey (RRPS), a household survey representative of the population of Kenya, we estimated the self-reported rates and factors as…
Beyond Technology
The Bell Beaker site near Brodek u Prostějova (Czechia) has yielded remains of a large timber construction accompanied by four symmetrical ritual deposits with numerous artefacts, including more than fifty ceramic vessels. Their decoration consists of incised patterns, in nineteen cases with preserved white inlaid incrustations. To investigate the social relations at this extraordinary site, a multi-analytical and micro-destructive approach was e…
Resuscitating the Socratic Method
PURPOSE: Teaching by way of asking questions is a time-honored practice that has taken on the negative connotation of "pimping" among medical students and has made some faculty hesitant to ask students questions during clerkship rotations. Yet, quantitative studies exploring student perspectives on this practice are limited. This study aimed to solicit student and faculty views and investigate faculty perceptions of students' preferences. METHOD:…
University of Michigan Medical School
Medical Education Program Highlights The University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS) was founded in 1850. For much of its existence, the curriculum followed a traditional Flexnerian model. Over time, the preclinical curriculum shortened, and the clinical curriculum lengthened. In 2016, the curricular structure inverted. A 17 + 12 + 12-month model transitioned to a 12 + 12 + 17-month model to provide a robust integrated foundation with early clin…
Migrations or local interactions? Spheres of interaction in third-millennium BC Central Europe
Increasing scholarly interest in past human mobility has provoked intense debate between archaeologists and archaeogeneticists. Explanations advanced by the latter have been criticised for framing explanations in terms of large-scale migrations, lacking underpinning social theory or interest in human behaviour; conversely, archaeologists have been criticised for supplying samples but no intellectual input. This article uses examples of ceramics a…

Association of Perceived Medical Errors With Resident Distress and Empathy
CONTEXT: Medical errors are associated with feelings of distress in physicians, but little is known about the magnitude and direction of these associations. OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of self-perceived medical errors among resident physicians and to determine the association of self-perceived medical errors with resident quality of life, burnout, depression, and empathy using validated metrics. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Prospecti…
Water in the Middle East
The Euphrates River and the Southeast Anatolia Development Project
This book makes clear that water, not oil, is the key to the future of the Middle East. The Southeast Anatolia Development Project (SEAP) begun by Turkey will irrigate over 1.7 million hectares of new land, double its energy production, and provide agricultural surpluses that Turkey hopes to sell to its Arab neighbors.When SEAP is in full operation, however, the downstream nations will be faced with a greatly reduced flow of water of altered qual…

Water Resources of the Middle East
This article presents an overview of the water resources available in the Middle East region (Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Turkey.) The countries of the Arabian peninsula as well as those of Northern Africa are not considered here. Water balances are presented for the countries studied and the water supply and consumption patterns in the main river basins of the area (Euphrates/Tigris, Jordan, Litani and Orontes) are described. The po…

Earthquake-Vulnerable Populations in Modern Turkey
EVERE earthquakes in southern Italy and at Al-Asnam, Algeria, in 1980 were deadly reminders of the need not only to perfect the means to predict earthquakes but also to understand characteristics of earthquake-vulnerable populations. Earthquakes have not increased in frequency or intensity in recent decades, but as world population increases more and more persons will be affected by them.' Earthquakes are a normal part of geologic processes, and …
The Environmental History of the Near and Middle East since the Last Ice Age
Some General Principles of Biological and Non-Biological Folk Classification1
Principles of taxonomy and nomenclature in folk biology first outlined by Berlin, Breedlove, and Raven (1973) are shown to extend to non-biological and non-taxonomic folk classification. Four non-biological taxonomies, American English "automobile" and "tool" taxonomies, a Finnish "winter vehicle" taxonomy, and a Thai "spiritghosts" taxonomy, are presented which clearly manifest so-called "biological" principles. In addition, a Huastec (male) "bo…
Population and Accessibility
FROM the bright traceries of Mark Jefferson's Civilizing Rails to the patterns of road diffusion described by Taaffe, Morrill, and Gould, there has been continuing interest in the role that transportation plays in the development of nations.' If the efficiency of transportation networks currently being created or expanded throughout the developing world is to be maximized in terms of limited capital and future needs, knowledge of how existing net…
Geography of the Middle East
Geography as a discipline allows several interpretations of area materials. The following outline does not claim to be exhaustive, but I feel that it does cover the major approaches to teaching a course entitled: The Geography of the Middle East . This syllabus incorporates materials suggested in other teachers’ course outlines in addition to my own, but the final interpretation — with its strengths and weaknesses — is my responsibility

Locational Aspects of Cultural Ecology
W A tHEN in 1333 the Muslim traveler Ibn Batuta landed at the port of Alaya (the present Turkish town of Alanya) on the south shore of Asia Minor, he described, in part, that settlement with the following phrases: is inhabited by Turkmens, and is visited by the merchants of Cairo, Alexandria, and Syria. It has quantities of wood, which is exported from there to Alexandria and Dimyat, and thence carried to the other parts of Egypt.' Nearly five hu…
