"The Story of Time," which runs through Sept. 24 at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich in east London, is an almost didactic review of how time has been measured and interpreted by different cultures through the ages.
We developed an anatomy-focused educational program for radiation oncology residents integrating cadaver dissection into the didactic review of diagnostic, surgical, radiologic, and treatment planning, and herein assess its efficacy.
EM residents participated in a 1-hour point-of-care thoracic ultrasound training session which included didactics, image review, and hands-on scanning on the cadavers.
The course consisted of short review didactic lectures followed by hands-on practice of each application; measurement of abdominal aorta, the identification of a proximal DVT, the FAST exam including SC4C view of heart, the identification of lung sliding and haemothorax, and the assessment of IVC collapsibility.
The most frequent suggestions by fellows for improvement of the fellowship were more structured didactic lectures or review courses and more exposure to specific clinical areas.
As stated in Bloom's systematic review, 'Didactic techniques and providing printed materials alone clustered in the range of no to low effects, whereas all interactive programmes exhibited mostly moderate to high beneficial effect.
The average attendance at voluntary curricular components (workshops, didactics, and image review sessions) over the 6 months was 68% (range 38 88%).
Training of TB physicians took place prior to initiating the study and included didactic teaching that reviewed both interventions, including the theoretical framework, literature establishing efficacy, and Tomsk-specific adaptations.
The map provided easy visualization of structured teaching activities that occurred at AHD, as well as an opportunity to continuously review the format (didactic versus non-didactic) and nature of teaching (medical versus non medical expert competencies).
These 90-min sessions consisted of a brief 20-min didactic session, where we reviewed the most important components of the CERTAIN methodology and use, followed by a practical examination.
Participants were provided with didactic material to be reviewed on their individual time consisting of a presentation describing the CERTAIN method and work flow, "knobology" video that described how to use the CERTAIN software, and an example video of a simulation case where research personal modeled the used of the CERTAIN model on a standardized clinical scenario.
