ABSTRACT: PBL and Beyond: Trends in Collaborative Learning

Building upon the disruption to lecture-based methods triggered by the introduction of problem-based learning, approaches to promote collaborative learning are becoming increasingly diverse, widespread and generally well accepted within medical education. Examples of relatively new, structured collaborative learning methods include team-based learning and just-in-time teaching. Examples of less structured approaches

ABSTRACT: Teaching Medical Error Disclosure to Residents Using Patient-Centered Simulation Training

PURPOSE: To determine whether a standardized patient encounter and self-guided tutorial would improve first-year residents' self-efficacy for disclosing medical errors. METHOD: In 2011, 55 first-year residents participated in a simulation in which they disclosed an error to a standardized patient playing the part of a family member.

ABSTRACT: Review of online educational resources for medical physicists

Medical physicists are often involved in the didactic training of graduate students, residents (both physics and physicians), and technologists. As part of continuing medical education, we are also involved in maintenance of certification projects to assist in the education of our peers. As such, it is imperative that we remain

ABSTRACT: owards meaningful simulation-based learning with medical students and junior physicians

Background: This research provides an educational perspective on simulation-based medical education by implementing both the characteristics of meaningful learning and the concepts of facilitating, training, and learning processes. Aims: This study aims to evaluate, from the perspectives of both facilitators and students, the meaningfulness of five different simulation-based courses. Methods:

ABSTRACT: Effectiveness of YouTube as a Source of Medical Information on Heart Transplantation

BACKGROUND: In this digital era, there is a growing tendency to use the popular Internet site YouTube as a new electronic-learning (e-learning) means for continuing medical education. Heart transplantation (HTx) remains the most viable option for patients with end-stage heart failure or severe coronary artery disease. There are plenty of freely

ABSTRACT: Bringing continuing medical education to the bedside: The university of California, San Francisco Hospitalist Mini-College

INTRODUCTION: As a relatively new generalist specialty, hospitalists must acquire new competencies that may not have been taught during their training years. Continuing medical education (CME) has traditionally been a mechanism to meet training needs but often fails to apply adult learning principles and fulfill current demands. METHODS: We developed an innovative 3-day
