Fwd: World Arthritis Day
Subject: World Arthritis Day
Join the public awareness campaign –
wave with us for the World Arthritis Day
For 2012, EULAR invites you to raise your hands, as well as your voices and join our campaign to create awareness of the importance of physical activity for people with RMDs by sending us pictures and short videos of people waving their support – a small gesture with a big message. Everybody is of course also welcome to organise events and use our supersized picture of waving people to generate media attention. Send strong messages to policy makers and the public and raise awareness of issues affecting people with RMDs!To find out more about our 'Waving for World Arthritis Day' campaign and to upload pictures of people waving, visit www.worldarthritisday.org/waving.We already have images of an amazing over 26,000 people waving their support featured in the WAD website gallery, and all pictures of people waving received up until and including 12 October will be added into the total.Super size picture
Images received by Friday, 16 September will be included in a supersize picture being generated to promote World Arthritis Day campaigns which will be available for download from the website at the beginning of October!Be part of it!

Future of postgraduate med education
This project is a consortium of different colleges of education
They created 10 recommendations and transformative actions
http://www.afmc.ca/future-of-medical-education-in-canada/
I liked the 7th recommendation: "develop,support and recognize clinical teachers"
Interesting-such a big document, but the microphones were open for any inputs or comments. Good how things are built here.
How to implement this? A speaker commented on the need of sharing resources to focus on specific topic depending on what one group pr hierarchic level may work on- altogether the objectives will be achieved.
The hidden curriculum of teachers was touched- after students evaluation and their feedback,negative results may affect future promotion -hoe the university support that? Also what about the time to teach not considered as relevant as the clinical?
What about specialties residents-how to distribute them and use them? Has to do with radiology residents.
Nice reflection and work on med education and social repercussion of that.

Workshop Patient safety and post grad education
Dr A Nakajima Dr V Neira Dr N Caccia
This is a topic 100%present in practice
"CPSI"
-www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca
Reflection on the Relation between six domains of patient safety and the CanMed competencies model for students- which are required for each domain of pat safety?
Would it be necessary to have a specific competency on that?
Disclosure- what do we tell things to the patients? How? What is harm?:impairement
http://www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca/english/toolsresources/disclosure/pages/default.aspx
A change in terminology complicated even more the discussion: interpretation of certain words...
Are we teaching that?
Definitions...pat safety incident
-harmful incident
-not harmful incident
-near miss:it did not reach the patient
Exercise of disclosure-we created a module of education about pat safety
Video in open school inst. health improvement about consequences
http://www.ihi.org/offerings/ihiopenschool/Pages/default.aspx
Interesting and very useful workshop. Heavy framework based on stablished documents and definitions. The practical exercise proved the value of those concepts, although I think one do not need to be limited by them do have some initiative on pat safety education.

Workshop:deconstructing communication
Dr M Gomes Dr R Padmore
-Possible serious Consequences of comm breakdown!
Nejm 91 - adverse events fiest paper on consequences
N Zealand -comm errors are a result of systemic problems. Comm problems involv both transmission and reception (as in communication theory)
Deconstruction of comm
-what is the specific process?
-when it starts and finishes?
-which are the comm steps?
- where are possible flaws?
-how to improve it and make it safe?
-Com failures in OR:observation classf recurrent types and effects
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1743897/pdf/v013p00330.pdf
-occasion fail-situation or context of comm-wrong moment
-content fail-lack or inaccuracy of info
-purpose-why the comm happenrd if nothing was done?purpose is unclear
-audience fail-gaps in composition of group engaged in the comm
-eval of preop checklist 2008 Lingard
Improved results of communication?
How to improve: Briefing?Checklist? Debriefing? Three diff tactics
-2/3 of com failure did not cause Immediate result-but encourages migration from a safety zone to a dangerous zone in which BAD results are very probable
Model-trapezium at the circus - four points to close the loop safelly(both hands of two artists)

CCME - Workshop on Diagnostic reasoning
Great facilitator's job (Dr Fisher and Dr Rolfson- U Alberta)
The analytic x non-analytic (intuitive) lines of though and their interaction towards the diagnostic reasoning.
What makes an expert - Model - After the detection of the problem context, has the ability of rendering a core knowledge to formulate questions and solve them through an internal model of "scripts", searching a "best-fit" interactively - all this is in the "intuitive" side of the thought - when a true doubt appears that toggles or signal the analytic component, which will look for a solution and feedback it to the non-analytical part, until there is a satisfactory solution. An expert does that in the most efficient and shortest way, using only sufficient and necessary elements for the decision (therefore optimizing the time of this whole process)
Heuristics - "rules of the thumb" - shortcuts to the solution. They are embedded with bias and possible errors, and although they are the key of a fast solution, care should be taken to minimize the risks
Some other concepts such as Syntax of the problem and Semantics of the information were also discussed, and it culminated in practical interesting role-playing examples in the room.
This was a top workshop...
I think that an approach through reasons of probability and predictive values and the dance of sensitivities/specificities and pattern recognition we do in radiology is also another nice model of diagnostic reasoning. Fist time I heard that was in med school (5th year) through our internal medicine teacher Dr Francisco Aguiar. His explanation was so simple and clear that the concept was learned at once, imprinted and never more forgotten.

Number of physicians in Canada x origin
Debrj Das BMSc U Alberta
More than medicine- global health in a complex world
Dr S Nutt
Interesting info
-600.000 riffles in world. Cost in Somalia less than 50 Us$/weapon
-1billion variable light weapons.
-70 percent with non official forces or civilians
Those are issues beneath African health. Check http://controlarms.com
Another one- this mineral is right here in my hand -
http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2010/12/10/coltan-faq.html
Her Suggestions for students: 1) read one world news everyday 2) contribute 3) social responsible consumer 4) keep asking the questions about the disparity
Beautiful and provoking lecture specially in the Canadian context. But with respect I'm not shure of what is the final objective. If the direct health attentions are not actually to be palliative, is there a wish that Africa should be "cured" ?. The garbage may actually be right at the backyard...

Web based learning workshop
From Netter to iphone...
But no one has yet proved web based learning is better than other tools ...likely it's mainly a complement. But is it worse?
Authority on the theme Dr Cook http://etd.uwc.ac.za/usrfiles/modules/etd/docs/etd_init_6813_1173965430.pdf
Apps-apple in the game:ibooks to create your own book for students

Welcome to MSkases & More !
This blog is about Musculoskeletal Radiology, Medical Education and sometimes about other things of the medical universe
If you are a radiology, orthopedics or rheumatology resident or fellow, medicine or any other type of health care student or professional and you enjoy or are interested in MSK radiology, this is particularly for you
Sometimes, if at a conference, I will also be posting on real time to share with you the interesting concepts, info or situations I may come across
By the way... sometimes you might see some posts in Portuguese, because this is my mother tongue (and I hope to have some Portuguese speaking colleagues checking-in here too...) Comments in both (and any other!) language are more than welcome
