To understand the responses of medical students and educators to high-fidelity patient simulation, a new technology allowing "practice without risk."Pilot groups (n = 27) 33) were exposed simulator session, then surveyed with multiple-choice open-ended questions. Open-ended comments transcribed coded. They analyzed for recurring themes tested inter-rater agreement. An independent focus group subsequently performed higher-level thematic analysis.Overall, 85% rated session excellent it or very...
As changes in health care delivery systems and the global burden of disease call for a reassessment how tomorrow's physicians should be educated--indeed, reconsideration diversity roles physician play--there is an immediate need to produce continuing medical education (CME) programs with real impact. Curriculum planners are questioning both content methods instruction training. The product, or content, mechanism its have been defined discussed, but significant body literature has shown that...
Findings from the science of learning have clear implications for those responsible teaching and curricular design. However, this data has been historically siloed educators in practice, including health professions education. In article, we aim to bring practical tips educators. We chosen organize into six themes, highlighting strategies 1) improving processing information, 2) promoting effortful greater retention knowledge over time, 3) applying learned information new varied contexts, 4)...
Healthcare professionals need to continuously improve their knowledge, skills and performance effectively function in an ever-changing healthcare environment. They depend on continuing professional development programs (CPD), either within or outside institutions, reflect update clinical practice. Professional growth requires more than knowledge transfer; it curiosity, humility, self-awareness a motivation for mastery. Educators can build these factors create effective learning experiences...
This study used an outcomes-logic-model approach to examine the impact of participating in a nontraditional professional development program. Building and using logic model provides structure for program degree that desired learner outcomes, delivery methods, measurement approaches are aligned.Structured telephone interviews were conducted 2001 with 16 Harvard Medical School (HMS) participants Macy Program Physician Educators (HM-PE): five who completed 1998, 1999, six 2000. Interviews also...
To investigate whether a spaced-education (SE) game can be an effective means of teaching core content to medical students and reliable valid method assessing their knowledge.This nine-month trial (2008-2009) enrolled from three U.S. schools. The SE consisted 100 validated multiple-choice questions-explanations in preclinical/clinical domains. Students were e-mailed two questions daily. Adaptive mechanics re-sent or six weeks if answered, respectively, incorrectly correctly. Questions...
Medical education reform has been the clarion call of U.S. medical educators and policymakers for two decades. To foster change seed reform, Harvard School created a professional development program physicians scientists actively engaged in educating future that sought to transform both participants their schools. This study focused on identifying long-term effects physician educators.A follow-up survey 1995-97 cohorts Macy Program Physician Educators was conducted by sending 99...
Purpose: To explore whether a simulated critical care encounter can accelerate basic science learning among preclinical medical students. Method: Using high-fidelity patient simulator, we "brought to life" paper case of myocardial infarction convenience sample first-year students (n=22 [intervention]). Students discussed the as part routine tutorial session, and then managed in simulator laboratory. an identical six-item test cardiac physiology, were evaluated immediately after session at 1...
To determine if the EuroQol Health Related Quality of Life survey produces equivalent results when administered by phone interview or patient-completed forms.People awaiting hip knee arthroplasty at a major metropolitan hospital participated. They were randomly assigned to receive via telephone, followed patient completed form 1 week later, vice versa. Equivalence was determined using two one-sided tests (TOST) based on minimal clinically-important differences for visual analogue scale (VAS)...
Viewing health care from a systems perspective—that is, “a collection of different things which, working together, produce result not achievable by the alone”—raises awareness complex interrelationships involved in meeting society’s goals for accessible, cost-effective, high-quality care. This perspective also emphasizes far-reaching consequences changes one sector system on other components’ performance. Medical education promotes this holistic view its curricula and competency requirements...
Background Continuing professional development (CPD) is essential for life-long learning of health professionals, yet evaluations CPD focus on a narrow range impacts. This study explored the impacts that are possible from attending programs foster social learning, and applied Wenger's theory to explain why these occur.Methods Twenty semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with purposive sample past participants two immersive institutes. Inductive thematic analysis was used analyse...
Purpose U.S. medical students will soon complete only one licensure examination sequence, given near the end of school. Thus, schools are challenged to identify poorly performing before this high-stakes test and help them retain knowledge across duration The authors investigated whether online spaced education progress-testing (SEPT) could achieve both aims. Method Participants were 2,648 from four schools; 120 multiple-choice questions explanations in preclinical clinical domains developed...
Objectives The value of a clinical quality registry is contingent on the its data. This study aims to pilot methodology for data audits Australian and New Zealand Hip Fracture Registry, hip fracture care secondary prevention. Methods A audit was performed by independently replicating collection entry process 163 randomly selected patient records from three contributing hospitals, then comparing replicated set set. Data agreement, as proxy indicator accuracy, completeness were assessed....
Background Total hip and total knee replacement (THR/TKR) are common effective surgeries to reduce the pain disability associated with arthritis but small significant risks of preventable complications such as surgical site infection (SSI) venous-thrombo-embolism (VTE). This study aims determine degree which hospital care was compliant clinical guidelines for prevention SSI VTE after THR/TKR; whether non-compliant prophylaxis is increased risk complications. Methods findings A prospective...
Globally, fall-related injuries are a substantial problem, and 80% of fatal falls occur in low-income middle-income countries. We aimed to measure time from injury hip-fracture surgery people aged 50 years or older living regions, as well the proportion patients with surgical stabilisation their hip fracture within 72 h admission hospital identify risk factors associated delay.
Background Well-designed medical curriculum reforms can fall short of their primary objectives during implementation when unanticipated or unaddressed organizational resistance surfaces. This typically occurs if the agents for change ignore faculty concerns planning stage provision essential institutional safeguards to support new behaviors are neglected. Disappointing outcomes in then result perpetuation reversion Status quo despite loftiest goals. Institutional change, much like that...
