i'm surprised no one else has heard this in higher education as well.

at umass/amherst i was inserviced (i don't remember if it was used as

a verb there) as a resident assistant and the title "inservice

training" appears in my teaching portfolio. (i think we used it at

illinois too, but it might just be that i used it, having picked it

up at umass.)



i'd suspect that some other service professions might have it, but

don't know. has anyone asked a nurse?
