Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a curriculum about professionalism on stress response during a critical situation in anesthesiology residents. Residents in anesthesiology will complete a training program on professionalism during their first postgraduate year. They will go through a standardized simulated scenario where they have to manage an intra-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest and then meet the patient's family. Stress response will be assessed and compared to a control group that did not receive the training program.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of adding mental visualization to a training program in medical education. Undergraduate medical students will be randomized before participating in a training program on airway management during rapid sequence induction. In the control group, participants will receive traditional teaching including theoretical courses and procedural simulation. In the intervention group, in addition to traditional teaching, participants will be trained and encouraged to practice mental visualization. The main outcome will be clinical performance during a standardized high-fidelity simulation of rapid sequence induction assessed using a specific pre-established checklist.
In this trial, undergraduate medical students will be randomised to undergo training using a virtual reality simulator (BodyInteract®) or a standard small-group interactive discussion of a clinical scenario. Adherence to current clinical recommendations will be considered as primary outcomes for this study.
Bladder cancer (BC) is the seventh most common cancer in men worldwide and fourth most common cancer among Danish men. BC is estimated to be the most cost expensive cancer pr. patient life. BC is diagnosed, staged and if possible treated with a transurethral bladder tumor resection (TUR-B). The prognosis of BC is depending on the depth of invasion, which makes the quality of the TURB procedure of utmost importance. Retrospective studies from Sweden and Canada on resident involvement in TURB procedures indicated that the TURBs were insufficient with regard to staging and had a higher need of repeating TURB. Surgical training for TURB in Denmark today is based on the Halstedian principle: "See one, do one, teach one", comparable to training in Sweden and Canada. Thus, there is a need to develop better and safer principles for training. Simulators for surgical procedures have a promising role in the surgical training. The project will explore the effect of simulation training on the quality in transurethral resection of bladder tumors. Based on our findings the principles of simulator training will be integrated in a curriculum for simulator-based TURB training for urological surgeons in Denmark. The collaboration research group is composed of medical doctors in urological surgery at Urological Department at Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde (ROS) and experts in medical simulation at Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation at Rigshospitalet (CAMES).
Purpose: This study is designed to: 1. Implement a website hosting perceptual learning modules (PLMs) 2. Implement and assess a PLM designed to improve the capacity of fourth-year medical students and first-year residents (novices) to locate the brachial plexus (BP) at the level of the interscalene groove on surface ultrasound images. Hypothesis: The hypothesis of the study is that the PLM will improve the ability of novices to correctly locate the BP at the level of the interscalene groove on surface ultrasound images, compared to a control group.
This is an educational research study to compare knowledge retention of neonatal-perinatal medicine (NPM) fellowship trainees instructed on a subsection of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) NPM Content Outline using traditional didactic lectures (control group) versus a flipped classroom methodology (intervention group). The primary objectives are to assess whether the flipped classroom provides equivalent or superior outcomes for knowledge acquisition and retention compared to traditional lecture-based formats, based upon baseline and serial knowledge assessments (after the educational session, and at 3- and 6- month intervals). The secondary outcomes are learner and educator preference.
prospective randomised trial to compare the teaching effect for tracheal intubation following training with McGrath video laryngoscope as direct laryngoscope versus training with McGrath video laryngoscope as video laryngoscope
Medical and technological advances have resulted in a growing cohort of children with medical complexity (CMC), many of whom would not have survived previously and are living and thriving within the community. These families have unique needs that have previously not been taught in the typical training programs for paediatricians. The goal of this project is to develop an evaluation of a national complex care curriculum and to identify whether dedicated educational modules have an impact on improving clinical performance and resident self-efficacy.
This study is designed to: 1. Implement a Web platform intended to host perceptual learning modules (PLMs) 2. Implement and assess a PLM designed to improve the capacity of first-year residents and fourth-year medical students to visually estimate the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) images. The hypothesis of the study is that the PLM will improve the visual assessment of LVEF by TEE in junior residents and medical students.
The purpose of this research study is to assess comfort of cardiology fellows and faculty with nutrition and its role in cardiovascular disease and to determine if increasing education in this arena will change clinical practice.
