[Use of new computer technologies in surgical education--virtual surgery].

Education is a process of accepting knowledge and skills or manners modification throught training. One of the most important characteristics in surgery education are classical education program through adequate literature and observation in operation room. Lip and palate clefts are relative rare diseases and classical knowledge acquirement of surgery methods in this field is sometimes defficient. Progress in computer technologies have potential and capacity to improve continuate and self-education training. We used this advancement in additional education in field of lip and palate clefts surgery, thanks to our partnership relations with Smile Train International Organisation. Accent of our cooperation was put in straight of new technology of virtual surgery--The Smile Train Virtual Surgery Videos.

Information and communication technologies in higher education: evidence-based practices in medical education.

In contrast to traditional meta-analyses of research, an alternative overview and analysis of the research literature on the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) in medical education is presented in this article. A distinction is made between studies that have been set up at the micro-level of the teaching and learning situation and studies on meso-level issues. At the micro-level, ICT is hypothesized to foster three basic information processing activities: presentation, organization, and integration of information. Next to this, ICT is expected to foster collaborative learning in the medical knowledge domain. Empirical evidence supports the potential of ICT to introduce students to advanced graphical representations but the studies also stress the importance of prior knowledge and the need for real-life tactile and practical experiences. The number of empirical studies focusing on the impact of ICT on information organization is restricted but the results suggest a positive impact on student attitudes and relevant learning gains. However, again, students need a relevant level of prior knowledge. Empirical studies focusing on the impact of ICT on information integration highlight the positive impact of ICT-based assessment and computer simulations; for the latter this is especially the case when novices are involved, and when they master the prerequisite ICT skills. Little empirical evidence is available regarding the impact of computer games. Research results support the positive impact of ICT-based collaboration but care has to be taken when skills development is pursued. At the meso-level, the available empirical evidence highlights the positive impact of ICT to promote the efficiency of learning arrangements. Research grounds the key position of ICT in a state-of-the-art medical curriculum. Recent developments focusing on repositories of learning materials for medical education have yet not been evaluated. The article concludes by stressing the need for evaluative studies, especially in the promising field of ICT-based collaborative learning. Furthermore, the importance to be attached to the position and qualifications of the teaching staff is emphasized.

Multicompetency education in radiologic technology.

A primary method of cost control in health care facilities is the utilization of one employee in more than one capacity. The need for multicompetency education is readily apparent in radiologic technology, a field that consists of a wide variety of closely related specialty areas. The curriculum in the Division of Radiological Health Sciences at the University of Texas School of Allied Health Sciences at Galveston, has been specifically structured to accommodate this need. The division offers associate degree programs in radiography, nuclear medicine technology, and radiation therapy technology, and makes use of a core curriculum. The division also offers advanced skills training in subspecialty areas at the postassociate level in computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, and dosimetry. An evaluation of this system of multicompetent education is provided, based on a survey of graduates from the program. Multicompetent graduates were found to receive significantly higher salaries, enjoy an expanded job market, and have consistently better outlooks toward their future careers than single-skilled graduates.

Implications of the new technology for pharmacy education and practice.

Educators and practitioners in the health professions are faced with two questions as they attempt to adapt to changes brought by new technology. What is the nature of the technology? and What are the implications for education and practice? The present paper directs these questions to pharmacy in a three-part discussion: the implications of the technology; the relevant technology presented as brief, descriptive vignettes; and comments on the apparent problems which are created by technological change. The implications are presented first, as a set of general guidelines, second, the implications for the knowledge and skill components of education and practice, and third, as attitudes required by pharmacists and pharmacy students. The paper concludes with a list of still unanswered questions relative to the future.

Report of the topic study group on graduate education in medical technology.

The reported study indicates that individuals are motivated for personal reasons to obtain advanced education. Tangible benefits of more challenging employment opportunities and greater financial rewards were achieved by some of the respondents. There is apparently a deficiency in financial support of graduate education for this group of health professionals because many of the individuals reported attending graduate school on a part-time basis. However, it is possible that some part-time students elected this route to keep in contact with current laboratory practice. In addition, the external degree program was a welcome and only possible route for one-fifth of the sample. A tendency to be interested in leaving the health field is noted with concern.

Information Technology for postgraduate education: survey of facilities and skills in the South West Deanery.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure available to, and IT skills of, obstetric specialist registrars across the South West Deanery. DESIGN: Open prospective study. SETTING: NHS Hospitals in the South West Deanery. METHODS: Two separate surveys. Firstly, the computer equipment available to trainees was determined at each hospital in the deanery on site using a software programme. Secondly, IT skills of a sample of 22 specialist registrars were assessed using a checklist at a series of four workshops. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Computers with sufficient specification to use CD-ROMs, to access the Internet, and to support data-, audio- and video-conferencing. The number of trainees with IT skills to use a computer-aided learning package and the Internet. RESULTS: Sixty-six percent of trainees have access to a computer with a CD-ROM drive. Sixty-six percent also have access to the Internet at their place of work. Thirteen percent have access to data-conferencing but there were no computers in the Deanery able to support audio- or video-conferencing. Twenty-five percent of trainees have no IT skills and require basic training in the use of computers. Thirty-six percent of our sample would require training to be able to use computer-based tutorials programs. Seventy-seven percent of trainees require training to be able to use the Internet without assistance. CONCLUSION: A significant minority of trainees do not have access to computers with sufficient specification to run basic tutorial programmes or access the Internet. Similarly, a large minority of trainees do not even have a basic knowledge of computer technology and IT training is required for the majority of trainees for them to reap the potential benefits which computer-based tutorials systems and the Internet can give.

Virtual vestibular re-education. A new technology.

This paper will provide an introduction to the use of virtual environments for vestibular re-education. The author illustrates some of the ways in which researchers are using virtual reality to improve therapy for vertigo. Users of virtual reality must make adaptations to avoid mismatches between perception due to virtual reality and that due to vestibular and proprioceptive subsystems. Virtual reality may be an interesting new way of studying vestibular compensation in normal and pathological conditions.
