    "These findings suggest that educational interventions can be effective in maintaining and enhancing empathy in undergraduate medical students. In addition, they highlight the need for multicenter, randomized controlled trials, reporting long-term data to evaluate the longevity of intervention effects. Defining empathy remains problematic, and the authors call for conceptual clarity to aid future research."

Professionalism: The "good doctor" discussion - 2 views

  •  
    "Professionalism in medicine is, in essence, a conversation about what it means to be a good doctor. It has been a major topic of discussion in the field for many years and will likely remain so for years to come. Physicians still debate how to define it, how to assess it and how to teach it. Younger doctors sometimes have different ideas on what it means to be a professional than older colleagues. "

    "Developmental psychologist Lev Vygotsky defined what the person or a student can do - or the problems they can solve - as three different stages: What a student can do on their own, working independently or without anyone's help. What the student can do with the help of someone. What it is beyond the student's reach even if helped by someone else."

Distributed Medical Education - 1 views

  •  
    "One of the early tasks is to identify the stakeholders of the resulting Strategic Plan; to identify individuals and groups who will be interested in and affected by the plan, to consider their roles and most appropriate ways and times to communicate with these individuals and groups. A preliminary list has been developed on the wiki; however, to effectively identify all stakeholders another important initial task is to clearly define what is meant by Distributed Medical Education. What is the scope of the plan?"

The experience of living at home with frailty in old age. - 0 views

  •  
    With enhanced longevity, many people in late old age find themselves frail and living at home, often alone. Whilst conceptualisations vary, frailty is often used in clinical practice as a directional term, to refer to older people at particular risk of adverse health outcomes and to organise care. Investigation of the experience of being frail is a complementary and necessary addition to international research endeavours clearly to define, predict and measure frailty.

Narrative-Based Medicine: Potential, Pitfalls, and Practice - 0 views

  •  
    "Narratives have always been a vital part of medicine. Stories about patients, the experience of caring for them, and their recovery from illness have always been shared-among physicians as well as among patients and their relatives. With the evolution of "modern" medicine, narratives were increasingly neglected in favor of "facts and findings," which were regarded as more scientific and objective. Now, in recent years medical narrative is changing-from the stories about patients and their illnesses, patient narratives and the unfolding and interwoven story between health care professionals and patients are both gaining momentum, leading to the creation or defining of narrative-based medicine (NBM). The term was coined deliberately to mark its distinction from evidence-based medicine (EBM); in fact, NBM was propagated to counteract the shortcomings of EBM.1,2 But what is NBM? Is it a specific therapeutic tool, a special form of physician-patient communication, a qualitative research tool, or does it simply signify a particular attitude towards patients and doctoring? It can be all of the above with different forms or genres of narrative or practical approach called for depending on the field of application. "

      CanMEDS Professional: 1. demonstrate commitment to their patients, profession, and society through ethical practice 2. demonstrate a commitment to their patients, profession, and society through participation in profession-led regulation 3. demonstrate a commitment to physician health and sustainable practice
  • According the CanMEDs framework, developed by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the professional role of physicians is defined as a commitment to “the health and well-being of individuals and society through ethical practice, professionled regulation, and high personal standards of behaviour”
  • The Canadian Medical Association considers the three major features of medical professionalism to be clinical independence, self-regulation and the ethic of care

  • The needs of the patient should always trump the financial priorities of the physician. Every skill, every decision, every morsel of scientific knowledge — all are to be used to better serve patients.

Learning Communities - 0 views

  • We talked about many things, but I think the common thread was that this is really not about “blogging” or even technology. It’s about what happens when students are publishing their own content, and collaborating with each other. What does that mean for assessment? How do you properly engage a class of 100 (or more?) students, having them all publish content, exploring various topics, commenting, thinking critically, and still be able to make sense of that much activity?
  • Since we stepped back a bit from technology, we defined student publishing more broadly, to also include such things as discussion boards and wikis. We talked a bit about blogging as an ePortfolio activity - that it may be effective for students to publish various bits of content through their blog(s) and then to let it percolate and filter until the “best” stuff is distilled into what is essentially an ePortfolio - and maybe THAT’s the artifact that gets assessed. The activity through the blogs is important, but every student will participate in a different way. Maybe it would be a valuable thing to even make blogging itself an optional thing - but those who don’t participate will have had less feedback and refinement of their ePortfolio artifacts.
