Project Summary
The goal of this project is to develop 10 multi-media learning modules for interactive instruction and review of pediatrics clinical skills for undergraduate and postgraduate medical trainees, continuing medical education and other health professionals.
Improve accessibility to clinical situations/simulations;
Provide a self-paced, interactive study guide with emphasis on clinical skills and communication;
Provide a self-assessment tool for trainees and (potentially) a method of in-training and end-of-rotation evaluation for educators;
Emphasize differences in adult, pediatric and infant clinical skills, particularly from a patient and parent perspective;
Produce a potentially marketable educational tool, the proceeds of which will be used to further medical education.
