[Orthopod] Searching (was) osteosarcoma in elderly
|
Can't Post

Yes I was going to add a few thoughts but was called to lunch! Here
are some reflections on searching
1. It's important. You never can tell when a patient is going to need
you to update your information on a particular topic. So we all need
these skills.
2. The skills of searching or using PubMed do not come naturally. You
have to make an effort to learn them and then keep them up by doing
one or two searches a week. I think the best way to learn these
skills is to do a hands-on workshop but that may be because I have
spent some time working up several of these workshops. They will be
posted on Orthogate http://www.orthogate.org/workshops/ when I get my
act together.
3. I have, so far, presented workshops on this subject in India,
Pakistan, Mayo Clinic and Egypt over the last 18 months and am eager
for invitations to do it again somewhere. ISOST members are also
heavily involved in teaching at the AAOS Electronic Skills Pavilion
in San Francisco this March. The Egyptian Orthopaedic Association has
asked me to come back to give an international workshop, possibly in
Luxor later this year and asked ISOST to be co-sponsor. There has
also been an invitation to Ukraine for October. It would be very
helpful to find out how many people in the Orthopod community would
be interested in traveling to one of these places for an orthopaedic
informatics workshop perhaps associated with some other orthopaedic
conference.
4. I will be circulating to all ISOST directors a 40 page review of
orthopaedic informatics with an invitation to contribute. If we can
lick this into shape and publish it, I think the organization has a
chance to become more than a (tissue) paper tiger.
