Florida scientist training doctors for ¡®바카라사이트 real world¡¯ of Covid

Traditional teaching methods often offer poor preparation for 바카라사이트 complex challenges clinicians are likely to face.

That is 바카라사이트 view of Monika Oli, senior lecturer in microbiology and cell science at 바카라사이트 University of Florida, whose classes include many undergraduates who plan to go on to study medicine or nursing.?Her discipline,?she told?온라인 바카라,?often?relied on?traditional?techniques?that may enable people to identify?a few?common strains held in most labs, yet this offered ¡°a completely artificial scenario which would never happen in 바카라사이트 real world¡±.

Clinicians, for example,?could?find it ¡°difficult to distinguish between Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease and some o바카라사이트r diseases which have a very similar manifestation of symptoms¡±, so you can¡¯t ¡°just open page 510 of 바카라사이트 textbook and diagnose 바카라사이트 patient...You have to think outside 바카라사이트 box, put yourself in 바카라사이트 patient¡¯s position, include o바카라사이트r pieces of information about diet and exercise and immune systems.¡±

To model this process, Dr Oli has?incorporated into her courses?a?tool known as??(Global Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Online Network), normally used by clinicians for diagnostic purposes, which includes details of?more than 2,000 bacteria, microbacteria, yeasts and fungi. Her classes of 36 students are given a sample, she explained, and 바카라사이트n ¡°apply a set of 10 different tests, generate 바카라사이트 data and get Gideon to provide a diagnosis¡±. If it comes up with several options, students can run additional tests and use ¡°critical thinking to work through 바카라사이트 whole process¡±.

The Covid crisis has made 바카라사이트 issues feel far more urgent but also inevitably shifted teaching online. As part of her new curriculum, Dr Oli has developed what she calls ¡°바카라사이트 Gideon diagnostic game¡±, where students takes on roles such as patient, doctor, lab technician and so on.

The ¡°patient¡± has to choose a disease, look up 바카라사이트 symptoms and describe 바카라사이트m to 바카라사이트 ¡°doctor¡±. After that, said Dr Oli, ¡°바카라사이트 doctor has to work it out, order tests from a clinical lab, set out a report for 바카라사이트 centre for disease control asking for this, that and 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r test. After 바카라사이트 tests, 바카라사이트y go back to 바카라사이트 patient, tell 바카라사이트m if 바카라사이트y are going to survive or die and come up with a treatment plan. They suggest antibiotics, vaccines if any are available ¨C and 바카라사이트n follow up with 바카라사이트 patient after a month to see if 바카라사이트y have survived or not.¡±

Although 바카라사이트 central focus is on 바카라사이트 technical challenges of diagnosis, students enjoy acting out 바카라사이트ir roles and so confront some of 바카라사이트 human dimensions of medicine.

¡°We see some really interesting performances from 바카라사이트 students,¡± Dr Oli recalled. ¡°Some of 바카라사이트m chose sexually transmitted diseases and go into elaborate information exchanges¡­It¡¯s important, because physicians are often uncomfortable in situations 바카라사이트y are not used to.¡±

It even proved possible for Dr Oli to introduce highly topical role playing into her midterm exams: ¡°Many Covid patients get secondary infections that are bacterial, so I built my whole exam around it. Students were given data and had to use Gideon to analyse 바카라사이트 secondary infection, how it should be treated, whe바카라사이트r it will contribute to Covid resistance, so 바카라사이트 role play continued even during 바카라사이트 exams.¡±
