Application of the medical training equipment for training the methodology

Abstract

The aim of the study was to improve the learning outcomes of laparorrhaphy by applying the medical simulator with an assessment of learnability of a new way of aponeurosis closure after laparotomy, which was developed for this study. Material and methods. A medical simulator for training the methodology of laparotomy wound closure has been developed whose design features make it possible to educate for techniques of laparorrhaphy in conditions close to clinical practice. For this, training was conducted on the method of aponeurosis closure after laparotomy on the proposed simulator with an assessment of its working capacity and effectiveness. The efficacy endpoint of the medical simulator usage was learning ability of the proposed method by assessing the time and quality of suturation.

Results. The degree of laparorrhaphy emerging technology learning depends on the trained doctor qualification.

Conclusion. The difficulties in the form of diastasis of the improvised wound edges, simulation of its depth and tension, as well as skill training of assessment of distance between sutures allows to use achieved skills and attainments in practice more confidently and efficiently.

Assessment of installation component of cognitive task on structural and dynamic characteristics of college professor’s eye movements

Abstract

The aim of the work was to conduct a pilot study of structural and dynamic characteristics of college professor's eye movements in the process of cognitive task solution (evaluation of students' knowledge maturity, alloting the academic numerical mark).

Methods. Eye movements were recorded monocularly using Gazepoint GP3 Eye Tracker (60 Hz). Functional Biofeedback biological feedback is a non-invasive, safe, relatively cheap method that objectifies findings of a study.

Results. Strategic differentiation of cognitive tasks solution was revealed: lecturers mainly adhere to the learning strategy. Cognitive task that faced lecturers meant evaluation of the paperwork on the taught discipline and this initially created installation on search for familiar stimuli for them. However, ignoring the features that are absent in practical experience can form stereotypical hypotheses and lead to decrease in efficiency of evaluation.

AMEE guide # 108. Writing competitive research conference abstracts

Abstract

The ability to write a competitive research conference abstract is an important skill for medical educators. A compelling and concise abstract can convince peer-reviewers, conference selection committee members, and conference attendees that the research described therein is worthy for inclusion in the conference programme and/or for their attendance in the meeting. Guide of the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) is designed help medical educators write research conference abstracts that can achieve this outcome. To do so, this guide begins by examining the rhetorical context (i.e., the purpose, audience and structure) of research conference abstracts, and then moves on to describe the abstract selection processes common to many medical education conferences. Next, the guide provides theory-based information and concrete suggestions on how to write persuasively. Finally, the guide offers some writing tips and some proofreading techniques that all authors can use. By attending to the aspects of the research conference abstract addressed in this guide, we hope to help medical educators enhance this important text in their writing repertoire.
