TIDBIT TUESDAY! Types of Medical Research By Shelene Giles, CEO FIG Education Evidence-Based Medicine • Clinical & scientific evidence • Clinical experience & expertise • Patient’s values, needs & choices Evidence-based medicine is the practice that relies on scientific evidence for guidance and decision making in the medical community. An evidence-based practice relies on the partnership of hard scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and the individual patients’ needs and choices. This results in the best patient outcomes. Evidence-based medicine integrates clinical experience and patient values with the best available research information. It is a movement that aims to increase the use of high-quality clinical research in clinical decision making. Evidence-based medicine requires new skills of the clinician, including efficient literature searching, and the application of formal rules of evidence in evaluating the clinical literature. The practice of evidence-based medicine is a process of lifelong, self-directed, problem-based learning in which caring for one’s own patients creates the need for clinically relevant information about the diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, and other clinical and health care issues. #nurse #ot #pt #Legalnurseconsultant #Casemanagement

Certification high stakes summitive evaluations still has a role ….. Even with introduction of competency based medical education and milestones in place , scores and performance in certification exams were associated with better patient outcomes rather than higher ratings of milestones in a big cohort of recent internal medicine graduates in the States. It will be interesting to look at learning patterns of those graduates who had better outcomes , assessment drives learning….

FUN FRIDAY! Types of Medical Research By Shelene Giles, CEO FIG Education Evidence-Based Medicine • Use evidence summaries in clinical practice • Help develop and update selected systematic reviews or evidence-based guidelines • Enroll patients in studies of treatment, diagnosis, & prognosis Evidence-based medicine is not a cookbook of recipes, but a useful application resulting in cost-effective and better health care. The key difference between evidence-based medicine and traditional medicine is not that evidence-based medicine considers the evidence, while traditional medicine does not. Both consider the evidence; however, evidence-based medicine demands better evidence than what has been traditionally relied upon. One of the greatest achievements of evidence-based medicine has been the development of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, methods by which researchers identify multiple studies on a topic, separate the best ones and then critically analyze them to come up with a summary of the best available evidence. Evidence-based medicine oriented clinicians have three primary tasks: 1) to use evidence summaries in clinical practice; 2) to help develop and update selected systematic reviews or evidence-based guidelines in their area of expertise; and 3) to enroll patients in studies of treatment, diagnosis, and prognosis on which medical practice is based. #nurse #ot #pt #Legalnurseconsultant #Casemanagement

In this month’s issue of Academic Medicine, Deputy Editor Colin P. West, MD, PhD writes on how medicine might better support the integration of physicians' personal experiences with their teaching and patient care roles. “Medicine needs to better understand patient perceptions of the physician work-personal intersection and illness disclosures, the circumstances in which these strengthen the bonds between patients and physicians, and when they might be inappropriate or unhelpful. Physicians also need to learn more about which education and practice structures best support the positive goals of sharing personal health and illness narratives and mitigate the potential risks for all parties.” More to explore in this issue: 🌱 Growth mindset in medical education  💻 Learning from medical students’ clinical self-assessments 🧑⚕️ USMLE performance and patient outcome associations https://lnkd.in/gKi9UmFB

Despite Laboratory Medicine being a large and varied part of healthcare, contributing to an estimated 80% of clinical decisions for patients, it is an area often omitted from or not emphasized in MD curricula. Medical students-in-training are, in many cases, reliant on discovering laboratory medicine through extracurricular activities or if they happen to choose an elective in a laboratory medicine subject. “With Laboratory Medicine, the best way to understand it is to experience it first-hand. We can’t bring lots of medical students into the clinical laboratories, so we came up with a way to bring the labs to the students,” explains Dr. Carlo Hojilla. That solution was the LMP Summit - an immersive weekend for MD students across Canada to learn more about Lab Medicine. The aim was to showcase this vital area of healthcare at no charge, to reduce barriers that may be in the way of MD students discovering the field. 🔗 Watch the recap to see the activities of that weekend and head to the link to learn more about the LMP Summit: https://lnkd.in/g6CEvuYb #uoft #uoftmedicine #uoftlmp #labmedicine #mediaclstudents University of Toronto, MD Program Larissa Liontos, MD, PhD, FRCPC Susan Poutanen, George Yousef, Susan Done, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto
