This open source project is a "web-based electronic data capture system for clinical research." The tool lets users manage data, submit new information, extract data, manage accounts and more.

"The two major products of clinical decision making are diagnoses and treatment plans. If the first is correct, the second has a greater chance of being correct too. Surprisingly, we don't make correct diagnoses as often as we think: the diagnostic failure rate is estimated to be 10 to 15%. "

"Being in the hospital after major surgery is no fun. On top of dealing with pain, patients have uncertainty. They also have to worry about getting all the information they need to support their recovery. That's not always easy in the hospital; things happen quickly and doctors and hospital staff are often really busy. Doctors at Mayo Clinic may have a solution to this issue. They're giving iPads to heart surgery patients to see if a new iPad app can make hospital stays easier and more satisfying."

"contains over 900 medical conditions to help physicians diagnose, treat, and follow up with patients. 5MCC 2012 also includes 200 pediatric topics, 130 dermatology images, medical news RSS feeds, and Diagnosaurus with 1,000 differential diagnoses."

"Clinical Objectives are the measurable, end competencies that we expect our students to achieve. "

The use of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) and statements of awarded responsibility (STARs) may bridge a potential gap between the theory of competency-based education and clinical practice.

"Outpatient learning frameworks could be structured to take best advantage of the heightened learning potential created by patient encounters. We propose the Patient-Teacher-Tutorial sequence as a framework for organizing learning in outpatient clinical settings. "

"In this blog, we discussed diagnostic tests and their relationship with likelihood ratios as well as heuristics and cognitive errors."

" They then outline four different theoretical frameworks held by medical educators that the authors believe guide educators' views on the topic, knowingly or not. Within each theoretical framework, the authors begin with a definition of clinical reasoning (from that viewpoint) and then discuss learning, assessment, and research implications."

The reflective writing of the group collectively demonstrated engagement with themes commensurate with deeper levels of learning: the feelings, assumptions, beliefs and values of clinical practice

a self-training, user-friendly educational software program, available at the Lysosomal Storage Research Group (http://www.lysosomalstorageresearch.ca), was developed using the Adobe Flash multimedia platform. It was designed to function both to provide a realistic, interactive virtual clinic and instantaneous access to supporting literature on Hunter disease.
