The American College of Veterinary Pathologists commissioned a role delineation survey to define the specialized tasks, knowledge, and tools that define the current practice of veterinary clinical pathology and veterinary anatomic pathology. The survey also identified when competence was acquired for each task (i.e., before certification or after certification). The response rate by diplomates was high, with approximately 50% of practicing pathologists within each specialty responding to each survey. Using the survey results, all tasks for each specialty were classified as either appropriate or unsuitable for testing in the certifying examinations. The role delineation survey data will facilitate the creation of test plans that objectively define the content in each certifying examination, the evaluation and enhancement of training curricula, and the optimization of continuing education opportunities for practicing veterinary pathologists.

The special pediatric practice issue of Pediatrics was an appropriate forum for the articles by Dubowitz and Chastain et al and the response by Morrow. In all three commentaries, various aspects of pediatric residency training were discussed, whereas the need for a "supplement" represented the overload of continuing education of the practitioner. Dubowitz suggested that there is a need for additional pediatric residency training in child maltreatment. Chastain et al questioned pediatricians about perceived increases in adolescent medicine skills acquired since the Task Force on Pediatric Education called for more emphasis on adolescent medicine during residency training.

The material Covered in PEDIATRICS IN REVIEW is, for the most part, based upon Educational Objectives developed by two Task Forces and accepted by the Coordinating Committee on Continuing Education and Recertification. Both Task Forces are made up of practicing pediatricians (at least 50%) and academicians, and are appointed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Board of Pediatrics. The organization and respective responsibilities of the Task Forces are shown in the diagram. The activities of The Academy (PREP) and The Board are based upon these objectives. The Topics Task Force develops some 25 to 35 Educational Objectives dealing with the Topics selected for review each year.

Purpose This paper reports the results of a survey of library staff members working with a library makerspace or with makerspace-related technologies. The purpose of this paper is to identify who is working with library makerspaces, what methods of training they have used, what training methods they prefer, and what topics they would like to see included in professional development and continuing education. Design/methodology/approach A 17-question survey was posted to two library makerspace-related listservs for two weeks. Findings The survey results found a varied array of job title of individuals working with library makerspaces. It also identified the preferred training methods, as well as the varied topics requested for professional development, showing a large need for a makerspace training in library staff. Originality/value This is the first study conducted about the preferred methods and topics of professional development and continuing education of library staff members working with makerspaces or makerspace-related technologies.
