Background: Additive manufacturing (AM) is a relatively new technique that is disrupting simulation based education. Three dimensional (3D) printing is the most known form of AM. The benefits of AM include customization of simulators to fit any context and the reduction of costs. The overarching purpose of this workshop will be to allow the attendees to learn about 3D printing and practice psychomotor/technical skills on these simulators.

Format:

The workshop will consist of three parts:

Part 1: 1-hour didactic session that will address objectives 1- 3.

Part 2: 1-hour hands on experience that will address objective 4.

Part 1 will be a mix of didactic and hands-on experiences. It is strongly advised that all participants bring a laptop with internet connection. First, using Tinkercad software, the participants will work on designing and customizing a very simple suture pad.  In the reminder of part 1, they will work with silicone solutions and 3D printed models to build a prototype suture pad. In part 2, all participants will be divided into 3 small sub groups and each group will be able to practice skills on three simulators: suturing, IO and perineal repair. They will also be able to explore more complex simulators such as needle decompression, anal sphincter repair, and intravenous insertion skills.

304/324 - PRACTISS Rural Simulations (2 hours)

Date/Time: Saturday, April 22 / 08:00 - 10:10 (2 hours)

This workshop is meant to help novice or inexperienced practitioners become comfortable facilitating effective medical simulations using PRACTISS (Peer-Run Applied Cases for Teaching Interdisciplinary Simulations and Scenarios)--a FOAMED online platform we developed to help those in rural and remote areas deliver simulation education to their peers or learners. Participants are encouraged to bring their own tablets or laptops, though this is not required.

The workshop will begin with a brief presentation outlining the importance of simulations in rural environments, and the barriers impeding its implementation in the rural and remote context. We will then introduce how the PRACTISS platform helps overcome those barriers, and briefly describe the platform's main features - its database of scenarios, prebrief and debrief scripts, facilitator supports, and live feedback tools. 

The attendees will then be broken into small groups of 3-4, and given tablets if they did not bring their own devices. In groups, the attendees will each get the chance to facilitate fun non-medical simulation scenarios using the PRACTISS platform. Doing so, attendees will become familiar with using PRACTISS’ tools to run effective simulation experiences as novice facilitators–from the prebriefing of the simulation to the debriefing and the collection of feedback. A presenter will help coach each group through the activity.

Groups will be brought together at the end for a final debriefing discussion and question period.

1. Recognize the importance of effective medical simulation activities in rural environments and how PRACTISS helps overcome barriers to their implementation.

2. Identify, explore, and perform the key components of effective medical simulation activities using PRACTISS–including the prebrief, the simulation itself, the debrief, and the collection of feedback.

3. Become comfortable facilitating a rural medical simulation with minimal experience, resources, and preparation.

341/361 - Physical Examination of the Ear, Nose, Oral Cavity, Oropharynx, and Neck (2 hours)

Date/Time: Saturday, April 22 / 13:30 - 15:40 (2 hours)

RELEVANCE. Knowledge and competencies in the examination of the ENT-Neck are essential in generalist practice.  However, several publications in the UK, US, and Canada have underscored the inadequate focus on the ENT-neck in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Moreover, the shift to online education and virtual patient care during the pandemic has decreased the opportunities for hands-on practice of physical examination techniques.

 

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION. We developed a workshop focused on learning physical examination techniques of the ENT-neck. The workshop will consist of the following: (a) a 45-minute lecture and live demonstration of PE techniques and relevant findings; (b) a 75-minute hands-on practice. Regular otoscopes and video-otoscopes will be available for practice. The participants will be divided into groups; the workshop facilitators will assist and provide feedback.

 

LEARNING STRATEGIES. The workshop is designed with several strategies for learning. Relevance is established by using only topics listed in CFPC's Assessment Objectives for Certification in Family Medicine (2020).  Handouts with photos of examination techniques and anatomical areas will be provided.  Immediate feedback on examination techniques and findings will be provided.

At the end of the workshop, the participants will have achieved the following:

1. Reviewed the techniques of and common findings in physical examination (PE) of the ear, nose, oral cavity, throat (oropharynx only), and neck (ENT-Neck).

2. Watched a live demonstration of the PE of the ENT-Neck.

3. Practiced techniques of PE of the ENT-Neck on another participant. To provide immediate feedback of PE techniques, the participants will use a video-otoscope attached to a laptop. To teach the depth and pressure of palpation, the presenters will palpate consenting participants.

 

Note: PE of the ENT-Neck will need the consent of the person being examined. It is recommended that participants register in pairs or register with a partner in mind.
