Traditionally, rural areas in many countries are limited by a lack of access to health care due the inherent challenges associated with recruitment and retention healthcare professionals. Telemedicine, which uses communication technology deliver medical services over distance, is an economical potentially effective way address this problem. In research, we develop new telepresence application using Augmented Reality (AR) system. We explore use Microsoft HoloLens facilitate enhance remote...

Background The provision of acute medical care in rural and remote areas presents unique challenges for practitioners. Therefore, a tailored approach to training providers would prove beneficial. Although simulation-based education (SBME) has been shown be effective, access such can difficult costly areas. Objective aim this study was evaluate the educational efficacy an procedure delivered remotely, using portable, self-contained unit outfitted with off-the-shelf low-cost telecommunications...

Cricothyroidotomy is a life-saving medical procedure that allows for tracheal intubation. Most current cricothyroidotomy simulation models are either expensive or not anatomically accurate and provide the learner with an unrealistic experience. The goal of this project to improve techniques by utilizing rapid prototyping using 3D printing technology expert opinions develop inexpensive trachea simulators. In doing so, emergency can be made accessible, accurate, cost-effective reproducible....

Healthcare professionals practicing in rural, remote, or resource-restricted areas have little opportunity to practice "high stakes low-frequency" clinical procedures, despite having higher rates of injury-related death than city inhabitants. Availability skills instructors, the expense skills, lack educational sessions, and distance simulation centres can be a barrier teaching skill maintenance, particularly rural settings. Telesimulation has potential overcome these challenges using...

In recent years, simulation-based training has seen increased application in medical education. Emergency medicine simulation uses a variety of educational tools to facilitate trainee acquisition knowledge and skills order help achieve curriculum objectives. this report, we describe the use highly realistic human patient simulator instruct emergency senior residency trainees on management burn patient.

Patients living in remote areas have higher rates of injury-related death than those cities. Rural and health professionals working sparsely populated places, such as Cat Island Bahamas, may scant resources for treating emergency conditions. Local must be prepared to rely solely upon clinical judgment perform "high-stakes low-frequency" procedures while also accurately effectively communicating with distantly located receiving specialists. However, these providers not recently performed or...

Immediate diagnosis and management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a condition resulting from the complete occlusion coronary artery, is critical to achieving optimal patient outcomes. This report outlines an acute inferior STEMI simulation which can be used for teaching different levels learner including novice, intermediate advanced. It focuses on presentation, diagnosis, infarctions. Additionally, it incorporates advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) protocol more...

Background: Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) is well established within emergency medicine, however, the availability formal training for other clinical disciplines limited. Memorial University has a cost-efficient, multidisciplinary PoCUS program focusing on residents’ discipline-specific ultrasound skills. This study evaluates skills, knowledge, and attitudes residents who participated in program.Methods: Analysis was conducted using mixed-methods, sequential exploratory approach....

Abstract We view this New Directions for Community Colleges sourcebook as a call to action America's urban community colleges become leaders on the frontier of genuine multiracial democracy. It is redress massive and persistent disparities that have created what Cornel West refers “pathology despair” in our inner cities. Leaders are challenged transform very nature college just those who came before us responded social revolution 1950s 1960s amid civil rights movement era. Today's at front...

Abstract A new paradigm for leadership in the twenty‐first century identifies essential elements adapting to change: weaving a shared vision, appreciating variety of views, communicating effectively, making decisions based on principles, and creating future.

In the practice of emergency medicine, simulation is a valuable tool that allows medical students and postgraduate residents to develop skills in safe environment at no risk patients. this report, we present case an acute asthma exacerbation utilizing human patient simulator. The designed such it can be easily modified accommodate trainee's level expertise, allowing instructors challenge both novice advanced learner alike.

Leadership in the 21st century will require new insights and a paradigm. With nearly 100 years of combined experience community college teaching administration, authors this chapter blend theory into design for engaging “new normal.”

The practice of emergency medicine requires that physicians make critical decisions under the pressures both time and socially challenging situations. Ectopic pregnancy is one such scenario in which must think act quickly, while keeping mind complexities discussing reproductive health issues an environment where confidentiality difficult to achieve. following describes a simulation session learners are tasked with integration clinical decision-making maintenance privacy confidentiality.

Emergency health care providers in rural and remote areas do not have the same access to training as those urban areas. This poses a serious challenge provision of equitable healthcare delivery. paper outlines development Mobile Tele-Simulation Unit (MTU) prototype address challenges settings. The goal MTU is increase opportunities for emergency attain remotely. tele-simulation new approach medical with many clear benefits however one must understand how develop such unit its effectiveness...

Simulation-based medical education is an evolving field. In emergency medicine, the use of simulation has been demonstrated to improve learner knowledge and skills as well patient outcomes, a smaller degree [1]. this report, we describe training session used familiarize medicine residents with presentation management classic (non-exertional) heat stroke using human simulator.

Abstract With the rapid expansion of use part‐time faculty in community colleges, how can evaluation be used to assure accountability and parity with full‐time faculty?

Emergency medicine practitioners frequently encounter acute presentations requiring quick, directed treatment to ensure the best patient outcome. Training residents in appropriate clinical and procedural skills often proves difficult when treating who is critically unwell. Simulation-based medical education an effective modality that enables teaching around life-threatening conditions a safe space for learners while avoiding adverse complications patients. Severe gastrointestinal bleeding...

In 2009, over 300 community colleges across the country adopted Community College Student Survey of Engagement (CCSSE) in an effort to assess campus environment through student perceptions. addition, are searching for ways measure learning. The Collegiate Assessment Academic Proficiency (CAAP) is one instrument that has been used since 1990s. With John Dewey's idea life long learning as a backdrop, this article will review need employ outcomes assessment and perceptions institutional...
