Abstract:
Background Climate change threatens humanity’s health and well-being. While climate change topics have been increasingly incorporated into undergraduate medical education, it is unclear to what extent they have been incorporated into graduate medical education (GME) curricula in the United States. Objective To examine how climate change has been incorporated into GME curricula in the United States. Methods We conducted a scoping review of published literature from January 2013 through November 2023. PubMed and Scopus were searched, with articles assessed by 3 reviewers in a blinded fashion. Resources were included if they described how climate change is incorporated into GME curricula in the United States, and if they discussed topics such as disaster medicine, mass casualty events, environmental medicine, public health, health policy, wilderness medicine, quality improvement, and sustainability. Articles were analyzed using descriptive numerical analysis and qualitative assessment to identify article characteristics and themes. Results The inclusion criteria generated 17 articles that examined climate change incorporation into GME curricula and curriculum interventions covering topics used for inclusion. The most common type of article (5 of 17, 29%) employed surveys of program directors on the inclusion of climate-related topics. Conclusions Published accounts of climate-related topics in US GME program curricula are few. More content is found in topics related to emergency medicine. Curricula frameworks have been proposed for pediatric and internal medicine residency programs, but we know little about their efficacy. Future scholarship should fill these gaps to educate learners to improve health care sustainability and resiliency.Keywords:

There has been considerable debate on the nature of scholarship over the past two decades. A key contribution to this debate is a seminal work in which Boyer (1990) articulates an expanded notion of scholarship. One of the four functions of scholarship that Boyer identifies in this expanded view of scholarship is the scholarship of integration. In this article I argue that this function is too narrowly conceived; a broader view of this construct is needed to reflect the complexity of this terrain of scholarship. I argue for a multi-dimensional model of scholarship that integrates three forms of scholarship with Boyer's four functions of scholarship. I also discuss the implications this model of scholarship has for the research university.

The scholarship of the university faculty includes the scholarship of discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of application and the scholarship of teaching. The scholarship of teaching means that the university faculty achieve on the knowledge, abilities and qualities in the teaching activities.

Following the publication of Scholarship Reconsidered in 1990, debates began on many campuses regarding the expansion of the definition of scholarship. These debates focused on the appropriateness of the scholarship of discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of application, and the scholarship of teaching. These conversations were enriched by the six standards for assessment proposed in Scholarship Assessed, published in 1996. Now these concepts prosper on many campuses as individual institutions find their own interpretations and adaptations of enriched and expanded scholarship.

This report offers an estimate of the cost of a statewide scholarship program for the State of Oregon that has a similar program structure as the existing Kalamazoo Promise. It is assumed that the proposed Oregon scholarship program would begin in the fall of 2013, and the full cost of the scholarship would not occur until 2016 when four years of scholarship-eligible students are enrolled in college. This report includes estimates on the scholarship costs, as well as, costs associated with administering the scholarship program.

Scholarship and the impact of scholarship represents an important and relevant phenomenon within nursing that crosses the history of the discipline. An important consideration is to reflect on the defining characteristics of scholarship and to consider the underlying structures that support scholarship. This preliminary article of this practice column provides a brief review and consideration.

This article postulates for the quality of Public Administration scholarship. To support this postulation, a discussion on the transformation of higher education is undertaken. Further, an ingemination of scholarship functions is undertaken in an effort to contextualise Public Administration scholarship within the broader understanding of the expectation of what constitutes scholarship. A synthesis of scholarship functions is done to describe what qualities Public Administration scholars should identify with, in their quest to undertake scholarship activities. Finally, a postulation of Public Administration scholarship prospects is drawn to argue for the need to introduce a standardised professional framework. Such a framework is necessary in ensuring that Public Administration scholarship sustains itself.

Knowledge, as it relates to scholarship, has traditionally been developed through research, which for years was viewed as the sole method of knowledge generation. An expanded view of scholarship was proposed by Boyer, and includes the scholarship of discovery, integration, teaching, and application. This broader framework of scholarship is more suited to today's world. The aim of this paper is to provide clarification regarding the definition and criteria of scholarship and the differences between scholarly activities and scholarship. Nurses are held to the same standards of knowledge generation as other disciplines. There should be clarity on differentiating scholarly activities from scholarship.

This article is a review of how a school of nursing and midwifery might promote scholarship within the university system. It is argued that the emphasis on research in universities has undermined the importance of scholarship within education and practice. The difficulties of recognizing scholarly processes as opposed to products such as publications is outlined in relation to three areas of potential scholarship within nurse education, i.e. research, teaching and practice. Issues are raised about how scholarship might be promoted in these three areas in practical terms. It is argued that systems of recognition and reward should be equitably distributed between these wide areas of potential scholarship. This will mean universities accommodating different models of scholarship and nurses recognizing their responsibility to contribute to scholarly activity.
