Our medicine procedure service teaches ultrasound-assistance for lumbar punctures. We have developed a video-based electronic teaching module, as well as a spine model for ultrasound practice, to be used with this training. We plan to assess how this addition of teaching resources improves knowledge acquisition and retention and confidence in use of ultrasound for this procedure.
determine the acceptability, safety, preliminary effectiveness and overall feasibility of a prophylaxis-for-all approach.

We are investigating how city governments in dry parts of the Western US manage the trees that grow in their cities. In particular, we want to know what benefits they seek when managing their trees, how they plan for successful management, and how limited access to water affects their management decisions. This requires that we interview City Foresters about their jobs, as they have primary responsibility over the trees in their cities. It also requires that we review the plans that cities make about their trees, and compare how cities with very little access to water plan for trees, relative to how cities with lots of water plan for their trees.
