September 2021 weekly log and outcomes of regular patient centered learning sessions

This is a regular academic session log for the post graduate residency training program comprising currently of residents of 2019 and 2020 batch. The training program comprises of a regular hands on learning of clinical decision making during the bedside rounds from 10 AM to 1:00 PM as well as 2-4 sessions officially divided daily into:


Theory on Monday, 

Seminar on Tuesday, 

Journal club on Wednesday, 

Tutorial on Thursday 

Group discussion on Friday 

Log Book audit on Saturday 

These are blended learning sessions with both online and offline components and while the offline learning timings are as mentioned above, the online component of the learning continues 24x7.

https://raveen07.blogspot.com/?m=1


Logbook update : last in June 16, 2021 as an answer to the May 2021 online assignment for the monthly summative test. 


Learning Competency assessment from the summative test : 


the answers to the questions in the online question paper assesses the examinee's competencies in empathically dealing with:

Clinical problem solving 

Medical terminologies familiarity including areas of anatomy, physiology, pathology 

Current EBM strategies for managing diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty. More here : https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2021/05/online-blended-bimonthly-assignment.html?m=0



Other competencies undocumented by the PG. No assessible link to current workflow showing procedural or case presentation videos as well as verbal report of daily case based workflow. 


Impact : Negligible and below expectations in terms of logged workflow. 

However, the PG has unlogged competencies demonstrated during work in the form of working longer hours with discipline but tends to avoid academics. 


Student 2: Dr Zain PGY2


https://zainalammohammed59.blogspot.com/?m=1


Logbook update : last in September 8 2020

as an answer to the Sept 2020 online assignment for the monthly summative test. 


Learning competency assessment areas:

Clinical problem solving 

Medical terminologies familiarity including areas of anatomy, physiology, pathology 

Current EBM strategies for managing diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty


Other competencies undocumented by the PG. No assessible link to current workflow showing procedural or case presentation videos as well as verbal report of daily case based workflow. 


Impact : Negligible and below expectations in terms of logged workflow. 

However, the PG has unlogged competencies demonstrated during work in the form of patient empathy, resource generation and utilization to meet patient requirements and this has had palpable impact on our learning ecosystem. 


Log Book audit summary:

Logbooks completed : nil Last update months back.


Logged learning points : nil


Logged learning impact: nil Reasons : Disinterest, apathy, lack of scholarship of integration?

Catheter-directed thrombolysis of deep vein thrombosis: literature review and practice considerations


https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5778526/


Long-term outcome after additional catheter-directed thrombolysis versus standard treatment for acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (the CaVenT study): a randomised controlled trial:


Conventional anticoagulant treatment for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) effectively prevents thrombus extension and recurrence, but does not dissolve the clot, and many patients develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). We aimed to examine whether additional treatment with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) using alteplase reduced development of PTS.


P - 209 patients were randomly assigned to treatment groups (108 control, 101 CDT). Patients aged 18–75 years with a first-time iliofemoral DVT were included within 21 days from symptom onset.


I - CDT vs Conventional anticoagulantion.


O- At 24 months, 37 (41·1%, 95% CI 31·5–51·4) patients allocated additional CDT presented with PTS compared with 55 (55·6%, 95% CI 45·7–65·0) in the control group (p=0·047). The difference in PTS corresponds to an absolute risk reduction of 14·4% (95% CI 0·2–27·9), and the number needed to treat was 7 (95% CI 4–502). Iliofemoral patency after 6 months was reported in 58 patients (65·9%, 95% CI 55·5–75·0) on CDT versus 45 (47·4%, 37·6–57·3) on control (p=0·012). 20 bleeding complications related to CDT included three major and five clinically relevant bleeds.

Context: 13 Year old girl with extensive iliofemoral thrombosis and suspected pulmonary infarction referred to KHL for catheter directed thrombolysis

Log Book audit as a medical student assessment strategy

 

The individual students in each annual batch is evaluated under 


three headings :


1) Presence (offline and online availability and prompt response to text message) 

2) Learning competencies attained 

3) Impact on the learning ecosystem and patient outcomes 

Results of the students are divided into 


three groups: 

Average, negative and positive Outliers :


Average : scored 5/10

 

Negative Outliers--


Scored less than 5/10 - few students who have  

less than desired presence, 

Below average competencies in areas of 

knowledge, 

patient data capture in terms of life events and Clinical findings 

and 

inabilty toward clinical data analysis to arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan after raising relevant pedagogic questions to ascertain the patient requirements and their own learning requirements 

also 

negatively influencing other group members toward avoidance of patients as well as  learning sessions. 

Positive Outliers--

Scored more than 7/10:

Regular punctual presence and proper efforts toward patient data collection and analysis, not only to satisfy their own learning competencies but also help improve others learning outcomes by sharing their queries in local as well as global groups, kindling the discussion to enable all the members to learn from it as well as put positive efforts toward organizing diagnosis and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes (for example encourage blood and organ donors and organize resources for necessary investigations or treatment). 

Log all the above daily in their blogged online learning portfolios with links to their local and global learning activity.
