Immigrants, Immigration Law, and Tuberculosis

Alien Rights and Government Authority: An Examination of the Conflicting Views of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court

This Article examines the conflicting decisions of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court in the area of immigration and nationality law. The author examines the decisions of both courts, the precedents culminating in these conflicting decisions, and the views of these courts of their proper role in this area of law. The author argues that despite cautioning the Ninth Circuit to refrain from legislating law judicially, the Supreme Court has itself been an activist court that has allocated greater power to the federal government at the expense of individual rights, and that this activism results from an abdication by Congress of its duty to decide currently unresolved issues

Ethical considerations about the vulnerability in qualitative research

RESUMEN: Para iniciar este debate en relación con algunas consideraciones éticas sobre la vulnerabilidad, primero se abordan aspectos generales sobre los principios básicos de la ética en la investigación. Existen tres principios básicos: el respecto a las personas, la beneficencia y no maleficencia y la justicia. El respeto por las personas incluye los elementos de consentimiento informado y la protección especial de las poblaciones vulnerables. La beneficencia también alude a dichas poblaciones vulnerables y a la directriz de maximizar los beneficios de los participantes y de la sociedad. Algunos autores han señalado un principio que debe vincularse al de beneficencia: la no maleficencia, lo que significa minimizar los riesgos de los sujetos del estudio

Active Learning on Center Stage: Theater as a Tool for Medical Education

Introduction: Knowledge and skill development related to communication must incorporate both affective and behavioral components, which are often difficult to deliver in a learning activity. Using theater techniques and principles can provide medical educators with tools to teach communication concepts. Methods: This 75-minute faculty development workshop presents a variety of techniques from theater and adapts them for use in medical education. Using examples related to diversity and inclusion, this session addresses general educational and theater principles, role-play, sociodrama, applied improvisation, and practical aspects of involving theater partners. The session materials include a PowerPoint presentation with facilitator notes, interactive activities to demonstrate each modality, and an evaluation. The sessions can be extended to longer formats as needed. Results: Forty-five participants at Learn Serve Lead 2016: The AAMC Annual Meeting attended the 75-minute session. We emailed 32 participants 5 months after the conference, and eight responded. Participants reported that their confidence level in using theater techniques as a tool for medical education increased from low-to-medium confidence presession to high confidence postsession. All survey respondents who were actively teaching said they had made changes to their teaching based on the workshop. All commented that they appreciated the active learning in the session. Many indicated they would appreciate video or other follow-up resources. Discussion: Principles and techniques from theater are effective tools to convey difficult-to-teach concepts related to communication. This workshop presents tools to implement activities in teaching these difficult concepts
