4875—From
Lectures to Modules: Designing/Developing Online Teaching
and Learning Materials
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Kadriye O. Lewis, Cincinnati, OH; Co-leader: Raymond C.
Baker
Lectures have traditionally been the most common
teaching method in medical education. With the advent of
computers and the World Wide Web, medical institutions
have recognized their potential as sources of information
and aid to learning and are encouraging medical educators
to put their courses or training materials online. Many
educators, however, unfamiliar with the potential of
online learning, simply transfer their lectures to an
online text format rather than taking advantage of the
rich electronic resources that are available. The
educational literature shows that such technology can
improve the quality of education. This workshop will
provide guidelines and hands-on experience in designing
and developing instructional modules on the Web using a
range of teaching options and strategies for online
teaching.
Objectives:
-
To learn how to adapt traditional course materials to
an online format that uses modules to offer content,
links to Web-based resources and video, Web-based
interactive activities and online discussion
conferences.
-
To encourage medical educators to put their teaching
modules online for a wider audience.
Method of Instruction: Hands-on activities in small
groups, large group discussion, brief didactic
presentation and small group discussion.
Target Audience: junior faculty, mid-level faculty,
senior faculty
This workshop is sponsored by the APA
Faculty Development Program in the domain of
Communication/Technology.
3:15pm–5:15pm
4878—Medical
Simulation Technology—What Is It and What Can It Do for
You?
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Joseph O. Lopreiato, Bethesda, MD; Co-leaders: Michael
Fitzgerald, Hilary M. Haftel, Mary D. Patterson
Medical simulation technology is a rapidly expanding
area of education in medicine. This expansion is due in
part to an expectation that training programs will assess
and document clinical skills over a wide range of
competencies. Many medical schools and some residency
programs are using simulation technologies to assess
clinical skills, professionalism, information gathering,
communication and trauma/resuscitation skills. This
workshop is designed for medical professionals involved in
the education of medical students, residents and fellows.
It is directed to those with an interest in the
educational potential of simulation technology and will
also be useful for those interested in learning about the
practical aspects of simulator program development.
Objectives:
-
Be able to describe the capabilities and optimal
applications of the various types of medical
simulation in the pediatric environment.
-
Understand the elements required to develop and
sustain a successful program including issues of
personnel, utilization and financing.
Method of Instruction: Minilectures and
demonstrations will be used to introduce participants to
the full range of simulation technology including
standardized patients, mechanical simulators and
computer-based virtual reality; videos and DVDs, as well
as actual simulation technology, will be used as feasible.
This will serve as a springboard for discussion of the
practical aspects of a patient simulator program. Large
and small group activities will explore how these
technologies may be utilized in assessing clinical skills,
evaluating competencies and evaluating the progress of
trainees. We will also address the elements required to
develop and sustain a successful simulation program
including issues of personnel, utilization and financing.
Hands-on demonstrations of hardware and software elements
used in simulation will allow participants to judge which
simulation technologies would best serve their needs.
Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty, mid-level
faculty
3:15pm–5:15pm
4882—Using
the APA Educational Guidelines for Pediatric Residency To
Plan Effective Evaluation Systems
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Diane Kittredge, Lebanon, NH; Co-leaders: Constance D.
Baldwin, Miriam Bar-on, Patricia S. Beach, R. Franklin
Trimm
This workshop will help pediatric educators use the
APA Educational Guidelines website to create resident
evaluation systems that are consistent with anticipated
new RRC requirements. The workshop will first address
evaluation systems planning: selection of appropriate
methods and processes across a residency program. Small
groups will adapt evaluation planning documents from the
Guidelines. Next the team will discuss the key features of
sound evaluation forms, and small groups will review and
adapt selected evaluation forms to meet the needs of a
typical program. Finally, participants will brainstorm
about implementation challenges, and the presenters will
discuss process issues in evaluation, including teaching
residents and faculty to use a program's evaluation system
and conducting quality improvement studies of one's
system. A summary of recommendations will be shared.
Objectives:
-
Describe the qualities of a well-balanced evaluation
system for a residency program, including use of
methods suitable for a learning setting, multiple
evaluators, recurrent feedback processes and sound
evaluation forms.
-
Discuss the challenges of implementing such a system,
including the need for methods development,
orientation of residents and development of faculty
and continuous quality improvement of the evaluation
system.
Method of Instruction: Computer demonstration,
presentations by workshop faculty, large group
discussions, brainstorming, review of models of forms,
small group activities and handouts.
Target Audience: junior faculty, mid-level faculty,
senior faculty

7303—Pediatric
Biopreparedness: Dual-Use Systems for Everyday and Times
of Trouble
PAS State of the Art Plenary
Chairs:
Michael W. Shannon, Children's Hospital Boston, Boston,
MA; and Kenneth D. Mandl, Children's Hospital Boston,
Boston, MA
Addressing the medical and public health consequences
of an emerging infection, a naturally occurring outbreak
or a bioterrorist attack requires well-developed
capabilities for detection, analysis and response. In the
context of national preparedness there has been heavy
investment to develop these capabilities, but only limited
attention has been paid to the unique needs of the
pediatric population. Further, the use of these systems
for every day problems as well as disasters is critical if
the efforts are to be sustainable.
A multidisciplinary faculty from the Center for
Biopreparedness at Children’s Hospital Boston will
present leading-edge research on (1) public health
informatics for the real-time epidemiology of outbreaks of
infectious disease among children, (2) approaches to
development and dissemination of principles of pediatric
bioterrorism response and (3) the dual use of
biopreparedness technology.
Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians involved
in bioterrorism preparedness efforts, emergency medicine,
public health and epidemiology.
