ABSTRACT As technology continues evolving, ultrasonography has become increasingly the imaging modality of choice in many different clinical settings including hospital, clinic and point of care. Similarly, the expansion of internet has revolutionized the medical curriculum and training of the entire medical education continuum: undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education and continuing medical education. More importantly, technology and internet have transformed the traditional teacher-dependent classroom-based teaching into the learneroriented web-based learning. To empower the presentation, whether classroom-based or web-based, it's essential that faculty members apply principles of adult learning throughout the session. Newer version of PowerPoint (PPT) is powerful and user-friendly. However, faculty members should be familiar with fundamental guidelines for appropriate selection of fonts, character sizes, background colors, charts, graphs, animation and multimedia. In general, PowerPoint presentations prepared on Windowsbased computers can be run on Mac computers; however, presenters should be aware of compatibility issues across platform such as fonts or multimedia formats. Faculty can also easily turn the PowerPoint presentation into a powerful and interactive teaching tool of ultrasonography for unlimited number of learners by following simple guidelines of using PowerPoint and having minimum resources and technical support for software of voice over presentation, such as Camtasia or Captivate.

SummaryInconsistent use of SNOMED CT concepts may reduce comparability of information in health information systems. Terminology implementation should be approached by common strategies for navigating and selecting proper concepts. This study aims to explore ways of illustrating common pathways and ancestors of particular sets of concepts, to support consistent use of SNOMED CT and also assess potential applications for such visualizations.The open source prototype presented is an interactive web-based re-implementation of the terminology visualization tool TermViz that provides an overview of concepts and their hierarchical relations. It provides terminological features such as interactively rearranging graphs, fetching more concept nodes, highlighting least common parents and shared pathways in merged graphs etc.Four teams of three to four people used the prototype to complete a terminology mapping task and then, in focus group interviews, discussed the user experience and potential future tool usage. Potential purposes discussed included SNOMED CT search and training, consistent selection of concepts and content management.The evaluation indicated that the tool may be useful in many contexts especially if integrated with existing systems, and that the graph layout needs further tuning and development.Citation: Højen AR, Sundvall E, Gøeg KR.

Hbo2 Therapy

Historically, electronic devices have been generally prohibited during hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy due to risk of fire in a pressurized, oxygen-rich environment. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), however, has emerged as a useful imaging modality in diverse clinical settings. Hyperbaric chambers treating critically ill patients would benefit from the application of POCUS at pressure to make real-time patient assessments. Thus far, POCUS during HBO2 therapy has been limited due to required equipment modifications to meet safety standards. Here we demonstrate proof of concept, safety, and successful performance of an off-the-shelf handheld POCUS system (SonoSite iViz) in a clinical hyperbaric environment without need for modification.

ABSTRACT Background  Few tools currently exist for effective, accessible delivery of real-time, workplace feedback in the clinical setting. Objective  We developed and implemented a real-time, web-based tool for performance-based feedback in the clinical environment. Methods  The tool (myTIPreport) was designed for performance-based feedback to learners on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestones and procedural skills. “TIP” stands for “Training for Independent Practice.” We implemented myTIPreport in obstetrics and gynecology (Ob-Gyn) and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) programs between November 2014 and May 2015. Residents, fellows, teachers, and program directors completed preimplementation and postimplementation surveys on their perceptions of feedback. Results  Preimplementation surveys were completed by 656 participants of a total of 980 learners and teachers in 19 programs (12 Ob-Gyn and 7 FPMRS). This represented 72% (273 of 378) of learners and 64% (383 of 602) of teachers. Seventy percent of participants (381 of 546) reported having their own individual processes for real-time feedback; the majority (79%, 340 of 430) described these processes as informal discussions. Over 6 months, one-third of teachers and two-thirds of learners used the myTIPreport tool a total of 4311 times. Milestone feedback was recorded 944 times, and procedural feedback was recorded 3367 times. Feedback addressed all ACGME Milestones and procedures programmed into myTIPreport. Most program directors reported that tool implementation was successful. Conclusions  The majority of learners successfully received workplace feedback using myTIPreport. This web-based tool, incorporating procedures and ACGME Milestones, may be an important transition from other feedback formats.

Examinations are an indispensable part of a student’s life. In the conventional mechanism, the question paper generation is time-consuming work for the faculty members of the educational institution. Every educational institute mandatorily expects exam setters to follow its own typesetting format. We have designed the automated question paper setting software to be user-friendly so that, paper setters can overcome from the typographic problem. Presently in most of the educational institutions question papers are set manually. It is time-consuming work and there may be chances of repetition of the same questions. So, in order to make the question paper generation more convenient to use, the web application is developed using Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) that can be accessed from LAN/Intranet.The application comes with the Admin Module and Teachers Module. The Admin grants access to the users by registering them. The faculty can access the system once they are registered. The faculty can enter questions in the database daily as per their free time. In this way, the question pool can be generated. The questions are approved by the chairperson and substandard questions are discarded. The question paper is then generated by selected course experts. The Fisher-Yates Shuffling algorithm used to choose questions randomly from the pool of questions from the database. Text Mining Algorithm aids in duplicity removal from the paper.  The generated question paper will be in Word Format. In our application, we assure better security, removal of duplicity, cost-effectiveness, and human intervention avoidance. It can be used by small-scale and large-scale institutions.

Information and communications technology has become central to the way in which health services are provided. Technology-enabled services in healthcare are often described as eHealth, or more recently, digital health. Practitioners may require new knowledge, skills and competencies to make best use of eHealth, and while universities may be a logical place to provide such education and training, a study in 2012 found that the workforce was not being adequately educated to achieve competence to work with eHealth. We revisited eHealth education and training in Australian universities with a focus on medical schools; we aimed to explore the progress of eHealth in the Australian medical curriculum. We conducted a national interview study and interpretative phenomenological analysis with participants from all 19 medical schools in Australia; two themes emerged: (i) consensus on the importance of eHealth to current and future clinical practice; (ii) there are other priorities, and no strong drivers for change. Systemic problems inhibit the inclusion of eHealth in medical education: the curriculum is described as ‘crowded’ and with competing demands, and because accrediting bodies do not expect eHealth competence in medical graduates, there is no external pressure for its inclusion. Unless and until accrediting bodies recognise and expect competence in eHealth, it is unlikely that it will enter the curriculum; consequently the future workforce will remain unprepared.

The emergence of COVID-19 has disrupted medical education. The profound effects of the pandemic will forever change how future physicians learn and care for patients. The delivery of physician training, in the classroom and clinical setting, requires intense and prompt attention from medical educators. In response to the pandemic, faculty members have quickly transitioned much of the medical curriculum to a virtual format. Clerks who are assigned to clinical rotations have faced significant interruption in their clinical activities. It is imperative that the academic community learns from this pandemic and prioritizes a forward-thinking and scholarly approach that embraces practical solutions.

Early exposure to technical knowledge improves dexterity and encourages ingenuity. We see the role of ultrasound as a “sonoscope”. Use of sonoscope improves anatomical understanding and improves virtual image interpretation (mind’s eye). Early sonoscope use does not interfere with learning physical examination rather it improves one’s sensitivity as one sees what lies underneath one’s hand. Sonoscope is being used by various medical specialities not only to make diagnosis, but also to monitor and guide interventions. Medical schools worldwide have realised the need and relevance of sonoscope in medical curriculum and hence this needs to be integrated in undergraduate medical education in developing countries.

Web Based System

The Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP) is a web-based system, approved by the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board, designed for the modern surgical trainee. First launched in August 2007, the ISCP provides the syllabus for surgical training in the UK. The website can be utilised by the trainee to record workplace-based assessments (WBAs), operations and appraisals under the guidance of an assigned educational supervisor (AES). This evidence is then used to demonstrate that the trainee has achieved the necessary targets set by the programme director (PD). The trainee then attends an annual review of competencies progression (ARCP), in which his or her suitability to progress within the programme is evaluated using the collated data.
