Twenty-eight undergraduate degree students from seven health care professions attended a two-day pilot course. Using small multiprofessional groups, final-year students from occupational therapy, orthoptics, therapy radiography, nursing, physiotherapy, medicine and dentistry explored professional roles and clinical problem-solving using a theme-based approach. A balance of didactic and interactive small-group learning enabled them to identify issues surrounding multiprofessional teamworking and collaboration in the National Health Service. Evaluation results showed that the course increased knowledge and understanding of other health care professions, developed more positive attitudes and demonstrated the importance of multiprofessional teamwork and communication. Participating students believed that both early and regular opportunities for shared learning should be essential aspects of undergraduate courses.
We describe and summarize our BV photometric observations of 34 bright, active Be stars made at various times between 1981 and 1987 with a 0.4-m telescope at the University of Toronto. These observations demonstrate the photometric variability of Be stars on time scales of hours to years. Observers who wish to compare or combine these observations with other data on these stars may obtain them from the IAU Archives of Unpublished Photoelectric Observations of Variable Stars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
