CROESUS.EU: Workshop on tools for virtual patients
Guarantee: Daniel Schwarz (IBA LF MU), Terry Poulton, Ella Iskrenko-Poulton (St Georges University, London, United Kingdom)
Annotation: This workshop aimed at tools for virtual patients will take place as parallel activity to the MEFANET 2015 conference. Although the event will be primarily intended for MU and UPJS participants, it will also be open for other MEFANET members. Workshop participants will be informed about tools used to create virtual patients. Furthermore, they will learn about CROESUS preferred VP implementation and its use across MU and UPJS, and subsequently all institutions participating in the MEFANET project. Relevant interactive activities and questions will be included in this workshop as well.
AKUTNE.CZ® interactive algorithms in emergency medicine training – concept, creation, application
Guarantee: Petr Štourač, Hana Harazim, Martina Kosinová, Olga Smékalová, Roman Štoudek, Jozef Klučka (LF MU)
Anotation: Workshop participants will get acquainted with AKUTNE.CZ interactive algorithms as teaching tools for problem-based learning. They will get to know the basic principles of their development, and learn about useful tips and tricks to design such algorithms, including the application of multimedia. Participants will work in small groups to develop the basic framework of an interactive algorithm dealing with an emergency medicine issue. Each participant will have the opportunity to finish his/her topic during a subsequent cooperation, thus developing a complete interactive algorithm as a reviewed teaching tool.
Participant profile: fourth-year (or more advanced) medical student, doctor at the Faculty of Medicine teaching courses that involve emergency medicine issues
Outcome: Workshop participants will understand principles of education based on AKUTNE.CZ interactive algorithms, get acquainted with basic rules of algorithm development and suitable topics, develop a basic framework of an interactive algorithm, be asked to develop an AKUTNE.CZ interactive algorithm based on his/her basic framework.
