The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of impostor phenomenon (IP) in student pharmacists and faculty members at two educational institutions in the US.Methods. An electronic self-report survey instrument including the validated Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) was delivered anonymously from April 2020 to May 2020. Demographic data including age range, gender, and other characteristics were collected. CIPS scores were reported as overall mean (SD) and data were compared between institutions and demographic groups using Student's t tests.Results. The overall mean CIPS score for all survey respondents (N=209, 35.5% response rate) was 63.8 (SD=15.1). Mean student pharmacist CIPS score for NEOMED was 64.7 (SD=14.4) vs. 63.8 (SD=16.1) for SUCOPHS, which was similar. Mean faculty CIPS score for NEOMED was 59.2 (SD=14.0) vs. 64.7 (SD=16.8) for SUCOPHS, which was similar. Mean CIPS score for the combined student pharmacist group (NEOMED and SUCOPHS) was 64.3 (SD=15.1) vs. 61.2 (SD=15.1) for the combined group of faculty members, which was similar. Overall, most respondents fell in the "moderate" to "frequent" CIPS score classification range (36.4% and 44%, respectively). Conclusion.Our study found that IP feelings were common among responding student pharmacists and faculty members at the institutions surveyed, though little is known currently about the implications of these findings. Future research should seek to elucidate factors predictive of or associated with IP as well as assess the impact of strategies to prevent or manage IP.
Despite its status as the largest youth-serving organization in the United States, there is a dearth of empirical scholarship about LGBTQ+ youth within 4-H; research examining 4-H professionals’ competencies to effectively support LGBTQ+ youth is even more scarce. To address this gap in the literature, this quantitative study explored the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of 4-H professionals in North Carolina as they relate to working with LGBTQ+ youth. Seventy-five professionals responded to an online survey. Professionals displayed higher levels of knowledge than skills or dispositions, were more knowledgeable about how to support LGB youth compared to transgender and gender expansive youth, and expressed the need for and substantial interest in professional development. Rural professionals tended to report lower knowledge, skills, and dispositions compared to professionals working in urban/suburban settings. This article presents the study’s findings and explores implications for future research and practice.
Summary:As a prelude to more detailed formal contracting, North East Thames Region undertook a review to examine whether the content of postgraduate medical education (PGME) varies according to the type of hospital in which junior doctors are trained. The study covered a sample of 83 trainees at different grades in four types of hospital (postgraduate, university, district general hospital involved in off-site undergraduate medical education, and district general hospital with no formal involvement in undergraduate medical education) and was designed as a qualitative comparative study. The results of the study point to a perceived lack of structure in PGME and indicate that hospital type alone does not determine a trainees' PGME experience. Moreover, different training grades have different educational needs, which will need to be addressed under more formal contracting arrangements. The Region plans to take this work forward by convening one or more consensus conferences to examine how a more structured approach to PGME could be implemented.
