Congratulations to the Information Resources & Technology (IRT) department at Stanford School of Medicine for being named one of three finalists for the 2013 AMX Innovation Award in the Automation and Control Initiative category. IRT's proposal, titled "Stanford University School of Medicine Immersive learning Center," involves using the central control capabilities of the AMX control system to design a powerful and flexible audiovisual system to fit the needs of programs in the Immersive Learning Center, from standardized patient programs to mannequin-based simulations, to virtual worlds. The award will be presented on June 10th at the UBTech 2013 conference at Walt Disney Dolphin Resort in Orlando, FL.
May, 2013 - DAVID GABA, MD, FEATURED IN INSIDE STANFORD MEDICINE
The May issue of Inside Stanford Medicine features an article on the collaboration between officials from the health-care and nuclear industries to discuss each field’s similarities and differences in areas such as diagnostic and prognostic technologies and human factors that affect risk and reliability. The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation recently released a 120-page monograph detailing the lessons learned. David Gaba, MD, Professor of Anesthesia and Associate Dean for Immersive and Simulation-based Learning at the School of Medicine, discussed what health-care providers can learn from the nuclear industry in a Q&A in the issue.
April, 2013 - ANKEET UDANI, MD, AWARDED RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP
Dr. Ankeet Udani, CA-3 anesthesia resident and Fellow in Stanford’s Anesthesia and Research in Medicine (FARM) program, was awarded a Research Fellowship Grant from the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research titled: "The effectiveness of simulation-based deliberate practice versus a standard didactic curriculum on learning regional anesthesia."
The aim of his group’s study is to determine the efficacy of simulation-based deliberate practice on novice residents’ performance of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks. Deliberate practice training entails 1) focused and repetitive practice, 2) informative realtime feedback, 3) precise measurements of performance, 4) a motivated learner, and 5) well-defined learning objectives. They hypothesize that simulation-based deliberate practice will significantly increase resident assessment scores and self-confidence in performing ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks versus a standard didactic curriculum. Future deliberate practice studies will translate its impact on clinical performance and patient safety, and detail cognitive characteristics of practitioners who benefit most from it.
Dr. Udani will be concurrently completing a Master’s in Education at Johns Hopkins University. His research interest is in the clinical impact of medical simulation on education.
Mentors: Dr. Steve Howard, Dr. David Gaba, Dr. Edward Mariano, Dr. Clarence Braddock, and Dr. Kelley Skeff
