"This website aims to provide a portal and network to meet the needs of clinicians, researchers and educators in the healthcare community who want to integrate games and simulation into their scholarship and patient care strategy. This resource also welcomes healthcare consumers, advocates, and others interested in patient and clinician education, and clinical research taking advantage of games and simulation-based learning."

"Conclusion: A few areas of debriefing practice where obvious gaps that deserve study were identified, such as comparing debriefing techniques, comparing trained versus untrained debriefers, and comparing the effect of different debriefing venues and times. A model for publication of research data was developed and presented which should help researchers clarify methodology in future work."

A joint venture between CSIRO and the Queensland Government, the Australian e-Health Research Centre is a leading national research facility in ICT for healthcare innovations.

Access research studies, publications, conference proceedings, reference materials, databases, tools, and other resources of interest to medical researchers, health care providers, patients, consumers, citizens, and policymakers.

The Biomedicine Research Labs Island, which opened in January, 2008, is in fact the digital headquarters of RL organization S.H.R.O. of Philadelphia, PA. According to their press release "S.H.R.O. is committed to excellence in basic genetic research to cure and diagnose cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other chronic illnesses and to foster the training of young international doctors in a spirit of professionalism and humanism".

" Curēus promotes medical research by offering tools that better serve and highlight the people who create it, resulting in better research, faster publication and easier access for everyone. "

"The Evidence Network of Canadian Health Policy, commonly known as EvidenceNetwork.ca is a non-partisan web-based project funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Manitoba Health Research Council to make the latest evidence on controversial health policy issues available to the media. This site links journalists with health policy experts to provide access to credible, evidence-based information."

A short tutorial on how to research online

"Multimedia design principles are easy to implement and result in improved short-term retention among medical students, but empirical research is still needed to determine how these principles affect transfer of learning. Further research on applying the principles of multimedia design to medical education is needed to verify the impact it has on the long-term learning of medical students, as well as its impact on other forms of multimedia instructional programmes used in the education of medical students."

" This research suggests that the theoretical advantages linked to the self-assessment process are a result of its feedback component rather than the practice of self-assessment isolated from feedback. Further research exploring the effects of different contextual and personal factors on students' self-assessment is needed."

"It was observed that each institutional context formed a complex educational ecology. The intervention became interwoven with different educational ecologies so that it could no longer be considered a stable variable across the study. We suggest that researchers should conduct implementation-profiling studies in advance of any intervention-based research to account for the constructing nature of educational ecologies on their interventions and in doing so to more clearly differentiate between efficacy and effectiveness studies."

"n December of 2009, the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation in collaboration with the Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope and the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) launched the Health of Women Study (HOW) of the Army of Women."

Research published in the current edition of Nursing Research by Gwen Wyatt of MSU's College of Nursing, analyzed which CAM therapies -- such as massage, supplements and reflexology -- are used the most and why. She looked at the five major categories of therapies: biological, mind-body, manipulative and body, energy and alternative medical systems.

EACH is an interdisciplinary non-profit organisation which brings together researchers and trainers in the field of communication in healthcare. Its objectives are to facilitate the exchange of ideas and products of teaching and research activities across a network of individuals and institutions in Europe and beyond.

Research from the Simulation Technology and Immersive Learning

Important epidemiologic concepts and common biostatistical terms to help clinicians translate medical research into everyday practice.

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.

We have put together a short guide answering these questions, showing new users how to get started on Twitter and hone their tweeting style, as well as offering advice to more experienced users on how to use Twitter for research projects, alongside blogging, and for use in teaching.

The tool was conceived by a research team from the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at UWE Bristol led by principal lecturer Simon Messer, and developed in collaboration with Avon Somerset and Wiltshire Cancer Services (ASWCs) who commissioned the project as part of the National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative. The idea is that GPs can access GP Sim from their computer at a time that suits to fine tune their diagnostic skills.
