International Rotations at United States Medical Schools | AMEP - Dove Medical Press

Introduction

Undergraduate aesculapian acquisition successful the United States is criticized that it does not hole students to service divers diligent populations, thatch civic and advocacy roles of physicians, and rise consciousness of societal determinants of health.^1–3 Forces of internationalization, globalization, and studies indicating that planetary experiences tin code these deficiencies person contributed to the emergence successful planetary aesculapian acquisition experiences.^4–8 Scholars person argued that planetary undergraduate aesculapian acquisition experiences tin integrate professionalism, taste competency, and an consciousness of planetary wellness systems into grooming to service a changing societal landscape.⁹ In addition, planetary experiences person been recovered to exposure students to a broader scope of illness pathology and alternate wellness systems and are associated with heightening students’ consciousness of taste and socioeconomic factors of wellness arsenic good arsenic strengthening objective and connection skills.^2,5,9

Due to rising pupil involvement and the content that planetary experiences tin lend to addressing galore of the critiques of aesculapian education, aesculapian schools successful the United States tin acquisition unit to supply and adjacent grow planetary rotations without having a broad knowing of however to make and enactment mutually beneficial relationships with partners successful big communities and the sending institutions successful the United States. Concerns of imaginable harm to students and big communities person been explored,^2,9–12 however, determination is small existing probe surrounding characteristics, ethics, and organization enactment for planetary rotations crossed aesculapian schools successful the United States. Studies that bash beryllium often absorption connected azygous lawsuit studies wrong 1 aesculapian school,^13–15 and fewer studies research the organization perspectives wrong the sending instauration successful the United States, including organizational factors and the perspectives of stakeholders wrong aesculapian schools. Scholars person called for studies of community-based and planetary experiences successful aesculapian acquisition to see descriptions of programme structures, module perspectives, and much specifics regarding people type, duration, work activity, funding, and characteristics of assemblage partners.^7,16,17

This survey examines planetary rotations (IRs) crossed undergraduate aesculapian acquisition astatine aesculapian schools successful the United States and its territories by investigating characteristics of IRs, and structural and programmatic features indispensable to enactment specified rotations from the perspectives of planetary rotation coordinators (IRCs), the module and unit wrong aesculapian schools who plan and instrumentality IRs. The probe questions for this survey were designed to code these calls and analyse questions specified as: what bash coordinators of planetary rotations place arsenic cardinal characteristics of planetary rotations successful US aesculapian schools for undergraduate aesculapian students? What are the foundational structural and programmatic components that are indispensable for planetary rotations?

Method

Due to the exploratory quality of the probe questions, we utilized a sequential mixed methods attack successful a pragmatic model with quantitative information collected successful signifier 1 done an online survey, and qualitative information collected successful signifier 2 done purposeful sampling and follow-up interviews with IRCs. A sequential mixed methods attack helped triangulate and explicate applicable factors of planetary rotations successful undergraduate aesculapian education. In this study, “international rotation” (IR) referred to elective, non-elective, oregon required experiences successful which U.S.-based aesculapian students question to antithetic countries to conscionable aesculapian acquisition objectives. This survey was deemed exempt by the University of Minnesota Institutional Review Board arsenic it is not probe involving quality subjects arsenic defined by DHHS and FDA regulations (STUDY00004201) due to the fact that the questions absorption connected measuring programme details from organization stakeholders’ perspectives and not connected the individuals themselves.

In signifier one, we sent an online nationalist survey to IRCs astatine each 185 aesculapian schools successful the US (MD- and DO-granting) that were afloat accredited by the Liaison Committee connected Medical Education (LCME) arsenic of July 2018, representing the full colonisation of IRCs astatine US aesculapian schools. The survey contained 35 questions, some closed and open-ended, and took astir 15 minutes to complete, and was designed to unafraid generalizable information from the full people colonisation of organization stakeholders wrong undergraduate aesculapian education. Survey questions were designed aft an extended reappraisal of lit connected IRs successful US aesculapian education. The questions were designed to analyse however IRs are designed and implemented, with non-identifying demographic accusation astir the survey subordinate (eg, relation of module oregon staff, magnitude of clip successful position, ethnicity) and location instauration (eg, size, public/private, faith-affiliated, etc.). The survey was reviewed for look and cognitive validity by 3 aesculapian schoolhouse stakeholders representing some module and unit with expertise successful planetary community-based education, and past was pilot-tested for clip requirements and usability by 3 further aesculapian schoolhouse stakeholders. The survey is included successful Appendix A.

IRCs were identified done publically disposable accusation online utilizing a systematic process identifying organizational roles liable for IRs, and a school’s information successful IRs was cross-referenced with the AAMC’s Visiting Student Learning Opportunities database. The survey was distributed via email done the online level Qualtrics©¹⁸ and remained unfastened for 1 month, with 2 reminders sent to non-respondents aft the archetypal survey email. Survey responses were assigned a codification successful a abstracted spreadsheet to nexus to consequent interrogation responses without including identifying information. We analyzed survey information anterior to conducting signifier 2 and utilized the results to physique connected the qualitative attack and interrogation question design; codes were simply assigned to guarantee that aggregate interviews did not originate from 1 azygous institution. Cases that were outliers oregon stood isolated from the remainder of the information were contrasted with themes wide represented successful the literature, and communal themes were identified. The survey besides asked participants to bespeak if they were consenting to beryllium contacted for a follow-up interview. There was nary inducement offered for completing the survey.

Stage 2 of the survey progressive one-hour, semi-structured interviews with 15 participants. These participants completed the survey successful signifier 1 and indicated their willingness and consented to beryllium contacted for a follow-up interview. In total, 19 participants who expressed involvement were invited to interview; of those, 15 participants followed up to docket and completed telephone interviews. The purposeful sampling allowed america to analyse quantitative results successful greater extent done an explanatory process. Interview questions followed a semi-structured attack and focused connected a bid of themes that emerged from the archetypal investigation of survey responses, successful summation to asking a bid of foundational questions related to IR characteristics oregon steps taken to place suitable rotation sites. Interviews were recorded with consent and were transcribed verbatim by the superior author, and each identifiers were removed. A database of interrogation questions is included successful Appendix B. All information from surveys and interviews were stored securely successful a password-protected online level (Box Secure Storage) accessible lone by the archetypal author.

Analysis

We utilized SPSS (25)¹⁹ to cipher frequencies, percentages, means, and modular deviations for nominal data. The information acceptable was not ample capable to execute meaningful regression oregon predictive analyses of statistical significance. Qualitative information were uploaded to NVivo (11)²⁰ and coded by the superior writer utilizing inductive methods, namely interpretive description, to find cross-cutting themes, categories, and concepts.^21,22 We chose interpretive statement arsenic the astir due method of investigation arsenic it focuses connected generating cognition to pass signifier and addresses analyzable experiential questions successful wellness disciplines.²³ Data were coded by congruence to themes wide represented successful a lit review, outlier oregon utmost cases, and communal emergent themes, utilizing a changeless examination approach. The coding strategy was created by the superior writer with reappraisal by the secondary author, and the 2nd writer reviewed the interviews to measure for information concordance and place outlying themes. Coded sections of the information were compared against the archetypal interrogation transcripts oregon survey data, allowing introspection of coded sections against each different and crossed the organization discourse identified successful survey data. During this process, the authors wrote memos to marque enactment of patterns and evaluative comments.

Results

There were 57 responses to the survey for an wide effect complaint of 31%. Seventy-seven percent of respondents (n = 44) indicated that their aesculapian schoolhouse offered IRs and 12% of respondents (n = 7) indicated that their aesculapian schoolhouse did not, portion six participants did not reply this question. Interviewees for the 2nd signifier were identified, and 15 individuals representing 13 aesculapian schools agreed to enactment successful an interview. Table 1 displays demographic accusation astir respondents and aesculapian schools. Although the demographic accusation astir respondents (eg, unit oregon module role, ethnicity) was not recovered to beryllium important successful immoderate analysis, it is included to show the types of roles and individuals who capable IR coordinator positions.

Table 1 Demographics of Study Participants and Institutions*

Features of IRs

Most respondents (72%, n = 31) indicated that the duration of an IR astatine their aesculapian schoolhouse was 1 to 3 months. No respondents indicated rotations longer than 3 months; 23% (n = 12) indicated IRs of little than one-month duration. Three-quarters of respondents (n = 32) indicated IRs occurred mostly successful low-income countries successful their program; 16% of respondents (n = 7) successful middle-income countries; and 2% of respondents (n = 1) successful high-income countries, with 7% of respondents (n = 3) indicating they were unsure oregon did not cognize wherever astir IRs occurred successful their aesculapian program. Most respondents (54%; n = 23) indicated that students thin to instrumentality 1 IR during aesculapian school, portion 40% (n = 17) indicated that students thin to instrumentality 2 IRs.

For an overwhelming bulk of aesculapian schools successful this study, students instrumentality IRs arsenic elective components of aesculapian grooming alternatively than arsenic a request (93%, n = 40); 7% of respondents (n = 3) indicated that they offered IRs arsenic some required and elective rotations. No respondents indicated that they offered IRs arsenic required rotations only. Electives tended to hap successful the 3rd and 4th twelvemonth of aesculapian grooming (70%, n = 28). The activities included successful IRs are summarized successful Table 2, and Table 3 displays the frequence astatine which definite programme characteristics were represented successful the curriculum.

Table 3 Frequency astatine Which Program Characteristics Occur successful International Rotations

Interview information revealed greater assortment successful the ways IRs are designed and implemented. IRs differed from being wholly student-designed, tailored to idiosyncratic pupil needs, oregon standardized wrong the aesculapian school. Relationships betwixt aesculapian institutions and big sites could beryllium ceremonial connections with memorandums of knowing (MOU), informal connections based connected relationships with module members oregon students from the big country, oregon astir nonexistent but for connections to a third-party enactment (TPO) which organizes and manages the logistics for students successful spot of the aesculapian school.

Third- and fourth-year aesculapian students were much apt to person longer IRs, specified arsenic 4 to six weeks, execute much objective activities, and question individually. First- oregon second-year aesculapian students tended to person IRs for 2 to 4 weeks, sometimes without receiving world credit, and performed much assemblage service-based, observational, oregon research-related activities and traveled successful groups. The timing of IRs during the four-year acquisition varied and often was constrained by investigating oregon scheduling conflicts. Interviewees often expressed tendency to lucifer the capableness of the big tract truthful students could reasonably and appropriately execute activities to lucifer the big site’s needs. IRCs emphasized information and supervision for each students. Table 4 contains accusation connected each of the thematic components of IRs, on with illustrative quotations.

Table 4 Thematic Components of International Rotations

Rotation Components

Rotation components crossed aesculapian schools varied greatly and depended connected information and capableness of IRCs to make oregon see definite components. Activities were mostly objective and were astir ever supervised by preceptors oregon mentors from the planetary tract (95%, n = 41) oregon preceptors oregon mentors from the location programme (72%, n = 31); successful immoderate cases, both. One interviewee stated, “International rotations would beryllium fundamentally students doing the aforesaid objective enactment that they would bash present successful the US.” Less than fractional of the aesculapian schools included non-clinical work projects successful IRs. Table 4 illustrates the saltation successful pre- and post-travel activities arsenic good arsenic objective oregon non-clinical elements of the rotation.

Partnership with Host Site

There was important saltation successful approaches to partnering with big sites, depending connected intentions and plan decisions made by IRCs. Programs varied from having reciprocal, one-to-one exchanges with aesculapian schools successful different countries to choosing sites based connected assemblage need; from having loose, informal relationships to having ceremonial relationships with MOUs, oregon immoderate operation referenced. The lone constituent successful communal crossed aesculapian schools was the prioritization of pupil information erstwhile selecting big sites.

Participants described influential elements of a nonstop partnership, specified arsenic reciprocity, alignment of values, and quality to conscionable assemblage needs, arsenic good arsenic formal, structured processes specified arsenic MOUs oregon fiscal involvement successful the site. Aspects that were described arsenic informal oregon little structured with little concern successful the tract from the aesculapian schoolhouse could jeopardize the sustainability of partnerships, arsenic interviewees noted. One interviewee, represented successful Table 4, noted that goals of creating a concern included empowering and gathering capableness astatine IR sites.

Third-Party Organizations

Programs often utilized third-party organizations (TPOs), mostly non-governmental organizations (NGOs), to nonstop students connected rotations wherever the aesculapian schoolhouse had nary different narration to the big site. In this study, TPOs tended to beryllium utilized by smaller aesculapian schools, though astir programs successful this survey utilized TPOs successful immoderate capacity. Far less aesculapian schools indicated moving with faith-based organizations, backstage companies, oregon for-profit companies than NGOs.

IRCs described readying logistics of IRs arsenic clip consuming and difficult. Interviewees commented that TPOs tin connection established programming and, successful astir cases, country and board, taste activities, and insurance, though prices for TPOs tin alteration greatly. Some rotation experiences offered done TPOs, arsenic described by interviewees, besides included nationalist wellness components oregon connection immersion, which aesculapian schools whitethorn not offer, oregon accommodate larger volumes of students.

Many interviewees commented connected dangers of the transactional quality erstwhile students utilize TPOs, with 1 interviewee commenting, “There’s a cardinal vendors retired determination who are consenting to instrumentality your wealth and enactment you successful a overseas country.” TPOs were described to beryllium often much costly for students to usage and whitethorn not each run wrong ethical norms of the profession. There whitethorn beryllium nary vetting process of the pupil to guarantee the student’s mentation for the experience, oregon attraction taken to found a communal narration with a big site. Interviewees besides expressed varying opinions of TPOs that signifier IRs, from the thought that definite organizations connection a “gold standard” for the tract of planetary wellness to the sentiment that organizations are lone “in it for the money” (see Table 4).

Supporting Structures and Programmatic Components

Survey respondents were asked to sanction up to 3 offices engaged successful readying oregon implementing IRs successful collaboration with the aesculapian school, and to permission blank if none. Twenty-two respondents (39%) indicated further offices were engaged successful readying oregon implementing IRs; the astir communal were assemblage planetary offices specified arsenic survey abroad, planetary wellness offices, and world affairs successful the aesculapian school. In general, respondents besides indicated that facilitating elements astatine their aesculapian schools included factors related to enactment oregon pupil enactment (administrative oregon enactment support, precocious pupil interest), funding, and infrastructure (dedicated offices, world tracks, schoolhouse mission, established processes). Other supportive programmatic features were the instauration of caller curricula requiring oregon encouraging IRs, similar aesculapian connection programs, planetary wellness certificates, oregon world concentrations. One interviewee described the maturation from “low cardinal and permissive” opportunities for students into much ceremonial programs, processes, and policies.

Additional Perspectives of IRs

IRCs interviewed for this survey characterized IRs arsenic avenues to present students to planetary wellness careers. The magnitude of clip of rotations, included activities, and world recognition requirements were factors that distinguished IRs from different planetary activities specified arsenic “mission trips” oregon “service trips.” Interviewees framed shorter-term IRs arsenic opportunities for vulnerability to elements of planetary wellness careers and stated that short-term experiences whitethorn beryllium much feasible successful pupil schedules, much realistic for pupil comfortableness levels, and could hap successful the discourse of longitudinal partnerships with big sites.

How a aesculapian schoolhouse defines and creates IRs mightiness besides disagree from however students mightiness prosecute arsenic planetary activities. This was astir evident astatine aesculapian schools astatine which IRCs indicated had nary ceremonial IRs contempt a precocious level of pupil involvement successful planetary activities. An IRC from a schoolhouse that did not connection IRs indicated that students could prosecute planetary activities connected their own: they independently located big sites, determined the activities they would perform, and arranged their ain question and logistics.

Discussion

Our survey aimed to qualify IRs successful aesculapian schools successful the US. Since IRs are not required explicitly by aesculapian licensure oregon accreditation standards,²⁴ and person nary standardized, nationalist competencies, it is not astonishing to find assortment betwixt aesculapian schools successful however IRs are designed, implemented, and supported, if included successful the aesculapian program astatine all. There has besides been nary statement formed to day successful the lit astir optimal magnitude of clip spent successful a rotation, features of programs, interaction connected assemblage and big partners, and impacts of semipermanent programs connected participants and communities. These variations marque it hard to suggest immoderate wide generalizations astir the cardinal characteristics of IRs but show that determination are galore interconnected constituent parts that tin power however IRs are designed and implemented, peculiarly those referenced successful Table 4. There is an urgent request to specify pedagogical models, curricular elements, and ethical frameworks of IRs lest these perpetuate concerns of colonialist and “savior” mentalities amongst learners and aesculapian schools.

Although IRs are communal successful undergraduate aesculapian education, our survey showed that they person yet to beryllium positioned arsenic halfway world programming wrong aesculapian schools, starring to greater challenges successful readying and implementation. Scheduling and fiscal concerns forestall IRs from being required astatine astir aesculapian schools. Our survey shows that elective IRs are not standardized crossed aesculapian schools with immense variations successful rotation components. Additionally, erstwhile students self-fund IRs, aesculapian schools often appeared to person little power implicit where, when, and however a pupil would instrumentality the rotation.

The usage of TPOs was notable successful our study, thing anterior studies person not addressed. Currently, this is an unregulated industry. It volition beryllium important for aesculapian schools that usage TPOs to measure them cautiously to guarantee optimum and ethical behaviour of IRs.

Medical schools should reappraisal tenets of experiential learning erstwhile designing and implementing IRs. Experiential learning mentation states that mentation earlier an IR is simply a captious diagnostic to see for pupil learning; specifically, preparatory activities that link to the acquisition objectives for the experience, arsenic good arsenic post-experience reflection activities.^25–29 Our survey showed that specified activities were fewer and were included by an IRC’s inaugural alternatively than successful a standardized curricular framework. Clinical components performed during IRs were often similar objective rotations a pupil would person different experienced astatine their location institutions. Despite grounds that planetary experiential learning tin nutrient outcomes not arsenic efficaciously attained successful home settings,^4,5,7 including little reliance connected diagnostic exertion which promotes greater captious thinking,³⁰ our survey questions whether students person greater learning payment successful planetary locations if the activities performed are the aforesaid arsenic what students would bash astatine location sites.

Scholars person cautioned practitioners against applying practices crossed settings without considering section context.³¹ Recent probe has besides reviewed planetary wellness activities done an ethical lens connecting IRs to the societal contract, an implicit statement betwixt aesculapian schools and nine that grants physicians autonomy, self-regulation, and presumption successful instrumentality for competent and responsive work to society.^32,33 During IRs, the nine that assumes the hazard and inconvenience progressive successful grooming volition not payment from students’ aboriginal work arsenic wellness professionals.³⁴ Rather than including objective components identical to those performed during a home rotation, aesculapian schools tin research nonclinical and systems-based learning successful planetary contexts,³⁴ which teaches skills that students tin use successful immoderate mounting and fulfills the societal declaration without creating undue load connected big communities to supervise objective education.

Several interviewees referenced goals for engaging students successful IRs arsenic improving wellness equity, reducing disparities, and serving susceptible populations successful rural, low-income, oregon different underserved areas. This ngo could thrust aesculapian schools to question retired opportunities successful lower-income countries, though determination are arguably galore areas of request crossed the United States arsenic well. Medical students are not considered members of the halfway health-care workforce portion completing objective rotations successful the US and run nether a supervisory operation cautiously vetted by aesculapian schools. IRs successful our survey indicated that they considered host-country “needs” and students who could acceptable those capacities. This premise is concerning arsenic aesculapian students from the US, with varied levels of vulnerability to objective sciences, should not beryllium considered arsenic fulfilling wellness idiosyncratic functions of big communities. Doing truthful could lend to concerns of neo-colonialism successful planetary health, undermining of section wellness systems, and perpetuation of inequalities.³⁵

Our survey did not uncover formalized valuation processes of IRs. Regular valuation of partnerships and outcomes is simply a rule for institutionalizing relationships.³⁶ Such evaluations should see an introspection of structural features, similar MOUs oregon a fiscal involvement successful the site, which are related to creating and maintaining partnerships.^25,37–40 Evaluation of outcomes related to pupil learning and the interaction connected the assemblage provides cardinal accusation concern maintenance. Evaluating these whitethorn besides uncover imaginable powerfulness imbalances betwixt aesculapian schools and big sites oregon betwixt idiosyncratic relationships betwixt learners and teachers and assistance usher aesculapian schools from transactional relationships⁴¹ to reciprocal relationships of mutuality.⁴² Evaluation besides provides penetration into areas for alteration wrong aesculapian schools and information regarding effectiveness of peculiar acquisition innovations;^43,44 however, if valuation components for IRs are the aforesaid arsenic for home rotations, aesculapian schools whitethorn suffer the accidental to measure the effectiveness of pupil learning successful planetary settings.

Our survey shows that galore plan elements of IRs beryllium connected idiosyncratic IRCs who program and instrumentality IRs, since participants indicated they were not alert of standardized options of IRs crossed aesculapian schools. Although immoderate resources beryllium for readying planetary experiences, they thin to beryllium specialty-specific oregon aimed astatine residents^45,46 alternatively than resources for undergraduate aesculapian students. Given the power of IRCs demonstrated successful this study, aesculapian schools could utilize IRCs arsenic levers for alteration by providing grooming oregon encouraging the pursuit of nonrecreational improvement related to champion practices and ethical guidelines for IRs.

IRs contiguous a unsocial accidental to measure pupil learning successful planetary contexts, and aesculapian schools tin redesign evaluations to lucifer this discourse alternatively than usage existing evaluations mostly utilized for home rotations. Evaluations should besides research the interaction of IRs connected big communities, which provides accusation to lend to sustainability of partnerships.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a important interaction connected aesculapian schools and planetary aesculapian acquisition experiences, interrupting pupil speech and grooming programs.⁴⁷ Medical schools explored virtual rotation options, which disrupted the presumption quo of accepted didactic learning but inactive required real-world situations and learning.⁴⁸ Despite the promises of virtual learning, assemblage engagement strategies and skills remained captious for aesculapian schools to respond to the caller nationalist wellness crisis, antagonistic disinformation, and grow wellness literacy.^45,49 Community partnerships and the skills indispensable for navigating a changing and divers satellite stay arsenic important arsenic ever, and planetary rotations person been suggested arsenic a mode to exposure aesculapian students to these tenets.⁵⁰

Future Research

Future probe connected IRs should research champion practices for pre-departure preparation, post-travel debriefing, and valuation of pupil enactment arsenic good arsenic interaction connected the big site. It should besides analyse however peculiar components successful IRs impact pupil outcomes oregon impacts connected big sites. Our survey besides implied that successful galore cases, a pupil performs activities connected the IR akin to the types of activities performed astatine the location instauration connected a akin rotation. Future studies should research however learning opportunities astatine planetary sites disagree from home settings and analyse unsocial elements astir the situation of low-income countries arsenic opposed to middle- oregon high-income countries.

Aspects of partnerships betwixt aesculapian schools and big communities should besides beryllium a focus, to find which factors lend to effectual and sustainable partnerships. Examinations of the institution’s involvement successful a partnership, fiscal oregon otherwise, besides provides accusation regarding sustainability of partnerships adjacent successful the look of challenging circumstances, specified arsenic information oregon backing concerns.

Limitations

With immoderate survey research, frequencies whitethorn beryllium overstated oregon not typical owed to non-respondents, oregon discrepancies whitethorn beryllium created by assorted interpretations of survey terms. Additionally, the sampling method whitethorn exclude participants if IRs are not organized nether world oregon co-curricular units. Although determination was an acceptable effect complaint to the survey, the information bash not needfully correspond perspectives of each aesculapian schools successful the U.S, which whitethorn beryllium influenced by contexts not represented successful this data. Due to clip and assets constraints, the absorption connected organizational and organization perspectives, and the exploratory approach, the cardinal position of assemblage big populations could not beryllium included successful this study.

Conclusion

Although determination is nary scholarly statement regarding the elements of IRs, specified arsenic magnitude of clip successful the rotation oregon curricular features, aesculapian schools are adopting IRs astatine a accelerated gait successful effect to pressures that person led to the enlargement of community-based learning opportunities. Our survey revealed that determination is nary standardization of IRs crossed aesculapian schools and immense saltation successful rotation components. Medical schools should make curricular frameworks that see preparatory activities connected to learning objects, post-experience reflection activities, and evaluations of the experience. Medical schools tin besides see nonclinical and systems-based learning successful planetary contexts to lessen the load connected big communities to supervise objective education. Additionally, the usage of TPOs was notable successful our study, and is an country ripe for aboriginal study. Future probe should besides see exploration of champion practices and aspects of sustainable partnerships betwixt aesculapian schools and big communities.

Similar pressures that impact aesculapian education, specified arsenic globalization and a request to integrate planetary wellness perspectives into training, besides impact different wellness professions.^51,52 Given some the akin contexts affecting the fields and the increasing inter-professionalization of wellness fields, our survey offers lessons for further wellness professions arsenic IRs proceed to crossed acquisition programs.
