This study looked at the way health care educators scan the environment and the relationship of scanning behavior to management style. Results indicate that education and training professionals focus on the regulatory and customer sectors of the environment more than the technological and sociopolitical sectors.

A sample of ASHET members formed the study frame. The data obtained were compared with previous demographic and occupational pattern studies. Trend lines over the past 20 years seem to indicate relative stability in the health care educator's characteristics. Although better educated than in the past, the health care educator tends to be female, middle-aged, working in an acute care urban setting, occupying an administrative rather than instructional role, residing in a department of hospitalwide education and training, and reporting to a vice presidential level. This study also forecasts future patterns for the 21st Century.

This study uses faculty narratives to identify faculty actions that might be different from mentoring traditional doctoral students in a face to face program. In the new working adult universities, learners are not necessarily seeking initial careers through doctoral study but are enhancing established careers. The study investigates the mentoring skills on line faculty bring to the virtual learning space and describes how a graduate faculty teaching in a virtual learning space perform the role of mentor.

Studies into the differences and similarities of policy initiatives in various European countries and the USA are important so that we can learn from one another. In the US and European countries early retirements were commonplace and thought of as a replacement strategy opening positions for younger workers. Demographic changes have meant more older workers than younger workers which raises various societal, organizational, and personal issues. Societal issues include financial support for retirement, a smaller tax base because of fewer workers, which in turn will impact provision of services and public facilities. Organizational issues include loss of organizational memory, understanding the causes of the skilled labor shortage, developing line managers who can facilitate policies designed to keep older workers, confronting ageism, and a lack of skilled replacement workers. Personal issues include deciding to remain or to retire, and resisting the ageist image of themselves as incompetent with decreasing abilities and skills.
