ABSTRACT: Development of National Competency-based Learning Objectives “Medical Informatics” for Undergraduate Medical Education.

Abstract Objectives: The aim of this project is to develop a catalogue of competency-based learning objectives "Medical Informatics" for undergraduate medical education (abbreviated NKLM-MI in German). Methods: The development followed a multi-levelannotation andconsensus process. For each learning objective a reason why a physician needs this competence was required. In addition, each

ABSTRACT: eLearning among Canadian anesthesia residents: a survey of podcast use and content needs.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Podcasts are increasingly being used in medical education. In this study, we conducted a survey of Canadian anesthesia residents to better delineate the content needs, format preferences, and usage patterns among anesthesia residents METHODS: 10/16 Canadian anesthesia program directors, representing 443/659 Canadian anesthesia residents, allowed their residents to be included

ABSTRACT: A Crowdsourcing Model for Creating Preclinical Medical Education Study Tools.

Abstract During their preclinical course work, medical students must memorize and recall substantial amounts of information. Recent trends in medical education emphasize collaboration through team-based learning. In the technology world, the trend toward collaboration has been characterized by the crowdsourcing movement. In 2011, the authors developed an innovative approach to team-based

ABSTRACT: I’m Clear, You’re Clear, We’re All Clear: Improving Consultation Communication Skills in Undergraduate Medical Education.

Abstract Requesting and providing consultations are daily occurrences in most teaching hospitals. With increased attention on transitions of care in light of the recent scrutiny of duty hours, consultations and other interphysician interactions, such as handoffs, are becoming increasingly important. As modern medicine increases in complexity, the skill of communicating with

ABSTRACT: Technology-Enhanced Simulation to Assess Health Professionals: A Systematic Review of Validity Evidence, Research Methods, and Reporting Quality.

Abstract PURPOSE: To summarize the tool characteristics, sources of validity evidence, methodological quality, and reporting quality for studies of technology-enhanced simulation-based assessments for health professions learners. METHOD: The authors conducted a systematic review, searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC, PsycINFO, Scopus, key journals, and previous reviews through May 2011. They selected original research in any

ABSTRACT: Medical Education in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Era: Benefits, Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract In the last decade, electronic medical record (EMR) use in academic medical centers has increased. Although many have lauded the clinical and operational benefits of EMRs, few have considered the effect these systems have on medical education. The authors review what has been documented about the effect of EMR use

ABSTRACT: Metric-based simulation training to proficiency in medical education:- What it is and how to do it.

Abstract High profile error cases and reduced work hours have forced medicine to consider new approaches to training. Simulation-based learning for the acquisition and maintenance of skills has a growing role to play. Considerable advances have been made during the last 20 years on how simulation should be used optimally. Simulation

ABSTRACT: Leveraging Social Networks for Toxicovigilance

Abstract The landscape of drug abuse is shifting. Traditional means of characterizing these changes, such as national surveys or voluntary reporting by frontline clinicians, can miss changes in usage the emergence of novel drugs. Delays in detecting novel drug usage patterns make it difficult to evaluate public policy aimed at altering

MANUSCRIPT: Social Media Use in Medical Education: A Systematic Review

Purpose: The authors conducted a systematic review of the published literature on social media use in medical education to answer two questions: (1) How have interventions using social media tools affected outcomes of satisfaction, knowledge, attitudes, and skills for physicians and physicians-in-training? and (2) What challenges and opportunities specific to

RESOURCE: Proving dissemination is only one half of your impact story: Twitter provides proof of real-time engagement with the public

Especially in arts and humanities disciplines which may not have readily quantifiable economic benefits, the movement of research from academic to public discourse may be a key component of an impact statement. For REF 2014, impact is defined as “an effect on, change or benefit to the economy, society, culture,
