Iterative method for learning skills as an efficient outpatient teacher

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences

Abstract

We sought to identity the choices and the methods used by ambulatory teachers in a qualitative study, using teacher-intern-patient role plays to improve ambulatory teaching. We used repeated performances of a scripted role play; during each iteration, field notes were taken by the authors. Insights garnered at each iteration were incorporated into the next version of the role play. After 9 iterations, no further insights into outpatient teaching were forthcoming, and our observations were included into a qualitative study. The sequence of steps and major choices to be made in an outpatient teaching encounter were delineated. The goals of the initial opening phase were defined as setting a learning climate, gathering information about the case, and assessing the learner's level of knowledge. Alternatives posed for setting up the second phase of the interaction with the patient included the choice of being a role model or being a "coach." Three-way conversations between patient, learner, and teacher were described in this phase of the encounter. In the final or summary phase of the encounter, we described the choices between giving a "general rule" for learning, and/or exploring higher-level issues, such as patient-doctor communi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
