A New Paradigm for Orthopaedic Education

Hungerford — 2008-03-11 17:52:06 GMT

by David S. Hungerford, M.D. to the members of the Faculty of the Johns Hopkins Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
Traditional educational paradigms consist of considerable didactic content delivered live in a classroom setting. Most meetings of societies and Instructional courses also use this format. The method of learning can be characterized as 'vaporware,' since it has been conclusively shown by multiple studies that retention even as soon as the next day is usually in the single digit range (percentage-wise). The traditional method of textbook writing and writing of chapters and articles does produce educational material of substance and durability, but they suffer from lack of availability, i.e., the information is not where you want it when you want it. Even videos and CD's suffer from availability and from the linearity of the content, i.e., you have to pretty much start from the beginning and proceed to the end. In addition, the content is often too elementary for the advanced learner and too advanced for the beginner.
What is required is a methodology that provides just the right educational material at just the right time in just the right amount.

MRI of the Musculoskeletal System: Essentials for the Orthopaedic Surgeon, Clinician, and Radiologist

Laura Friend — 2008-02-16 17:52:06 GMT

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most commonly employed and most effective advanced imaging modality for evaluation of the musculoskeletal system. Currently, the primary responsibility for the evaluation of these imaging studies resides with the diagnostic radiologist as they are more frequently formally trained in the interpretation of such imaging studies. Clinicians tend to learn how to evaluate MR imaging of the musculoskeletal system via experience and �on the job.� The purpose of this course is to provide the clinicians with the essentials of MRI evaluation of the musculoskeletal system including the major joints and spine, as well as to update radiologists working with orthopaedic surgeons and other clinicians. A systematic approach to the interpretation of these studies will be provided and the participant will learn how to incorporate the ability to read MRI examinations of the musculoskeletal system into his or her practice.
Course takes place on the Classic Mediterranean Cruise, August 9th-16th 2008 Departs Barcelona Spain.
