The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

Project Report from the year 2023 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 1,7, Fresenius University of Applied Sciences Idstein, language: English, abstract: This project focuses on conducting a case study survey to investigate the intercultural competencies of a multinational company. The survey aims to identify the company's strengths and weaknesses in this area, as well as explore any potential challenges that the company may face in terms of intercultural communication and collaboration. By conducting this study, we hope to gain insights into the company's practices and develop recommendations to enhance its intercultural competencies. In today’s globalized economy, multinational companies have become an ubiquitous presence, operating across borders, cultures and languages. With the proliferation of international trade and business opportunities, there is an increasing need for employees who can navigate the complexities of working in a multicultural environment. To succeed in such an environment, it is obligatory for employees to have intercultural competence. Despite the importance of intercultural competence in multinational companies, many employees lack the necessary skills and knowledge to work effectively in a multicultural environment. The challenges of intercultural communication, such as missunderstand-ings, stereotypes and misinterpretations can result in conflicts, reduced productivity and missed business opportunities. Therefore, it is critical for companies to identify the key intercultural competencies that employees need to succeed in a multinational context.

As English gains prominence as the language of higher education across the world, many institutions and lecturers are becoming increasingly concerned with the implications of this trend for the quality of university teaching and learning. With an innovative approach in both theme and scope, this book addresses four major competencies that are essential to ensure the effectiveness of English-medium higher education: creativity, critical thinking, autonomy and motivation. It offers an integrated perspective, both theoretical and practical, which defines these competences from different angles within ELT and Applied Linguistics, while also exploring their points of contact and applications to classroom routines. This approach is intended to provide practical guidance and inspiration, in the form of pedagogical proposals, examples of teaching practice and cutting-edge research by scholars and university teachers from all over the world. To that end, a leading specialist in the field introduces each of the four competencies, explaining concepts accessibly and synthetically, exposing false myths, presenting an updated state of the art, and opening windows for future studies. These introductions are followed by practitioner chapters written by teachers and scholars from different cultures and university contexts, who reflect on their experience and/or research and share effective procedures and suggestions for the university class with English as a vehicle for instruction.

This book identifies the core competencies shared by expert therapists and helps clinicians—especially those providing brief dynamic/interpersonal therapy—to develop and apply them in their own work. Rather than being a cookbook of particular techniques, the book richly describes therapists' mental processes and moment-to-moment actions as they engage in effective therapeutic inquiry and improvise to help patients achieve their goals. The author integrates the psychotherapy and cognitive science literatures to provide a unique understanding of therapist expertise. Featuring many illustrative examples, the book offers fresh insights into how learning and interpersonal skills can be enhanced for both therapist and client.
