"AFMC and the Norlien Foundation have partnered to provide funding and support for the development of a suite of e-learning tools on early brain and biological development and addictions for undergraduate medical education. The suite of resources includes virtual patients, a primer (e-textbook), and podcast series. Topics that are addressed include core concepts of early child development, epigenetics, intervention and treatment strategies, and system responses to addiction."
"The Patient Safety Curriculum Guide provides teaching and information tools to support patient safety learning. The Curriculum Guide comprises two parts. Part A is a teachers' guide designed to introduce patient safety concepts to educators. It relates to building capacity for patient safety education, programme planning and design of the courses. Part B provides all-inclusive, ready-to-teach, topic-based patient safety courses that can be used as a whole, or on a per topic basis. There are 11 patient safety topics, each designed to feature a variety of ideas and methods for patient safety learning. "
"Despite these drawbacks, one should never be afraid of modifying and re-modifying the evaluation tool - because, in truth, the data on the evaluation form needs to reflect the outcome that you are trying to assess."
"Role modelling is a powerful teaching tool for passing on the knowledge, skills, and values of the medical profession, but its net effect on the behaviour of students is often negative rather than positive"
"Greg Matthews (@chimoose) at the communications firm WCG says he now follows more than 500 doctors on Twitter and has started profiling those who've pioneered digital and social media tools at MDigitalLife, a blog series hosted by his employer."
"While its not clear how popular regularly measuring ones heart rate will be in the general population, this certainly will be a tool eagerly taken up by self quantifiers. I am most excited about the utility of this for passive, no touch monitoring in health care settings as the technology advances to not require the camera so perfectly aligned and close to the face."
"The language of these competencies has tended to adopt a prescriptive, rather than descriptive, approach. However, despite widespread agreement on the importance of competency-based education and more than two decades of study, this effort has not generated a dependable set of assessment tools."
"It's not just patients who can learn from tools that help them make evidence-based decisions. Assessing patients' understanding of the information provided and the reasons for their health care choices has been an educational experience for Dale Collins Vidal, MD, director of the Center for Informed Choice at Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire."
"Here, the authors examine the concept of negativity bias in the context of academic medicine, arguing that culture is affected by serially emphasizing the inherent bias to recognize and remember the negative. They explore the potential role of practices rooted in positive psychology as powerful tools to counteract the negativity bias and aid in achieving desired culture change."
"These resources are sample evaluation forms and guides to adapt for your own use. Course summary evaluations, focus group questions, and expert observation tools are included. There is a trainer's competency checklist and trainer attributes competency self-assessment. These forms can encourage trainers to strengthen their training and communication skills and strive for improvement."
"This study is unique in its characterization of new media ownership and use among ED patients experiencing homelessness. New media is a powerful tool to connect patients experiencing homelessness to health care."
"We believe that the workshop was a worthwhile use of valuable educational time. Using simulation as an educational tool along with the SPIKES protocol and small group role play is a novel and efficient module to teach EPs how to break bad news in the stressful environments of an emergency room."
" Simulation because of its unique effects on learning is currently being successfully used by many institutions as a means to produce that integration through its use in the teaching of the basic sciences. Preliminary data indicate that simulation is an effective tool for basic science education and garners high learner satisfaction."
"The ACGME and LCME mandate that residency programs and medical schools provide core faculty with regular faculty development on teaching. Objective Structured Teaching Exercises (OSTEs) are an innovative tool using standardized learners (SLs) to develop and assess teaching skills."
