Medical cognition CPD, OSCE, Thesis learning objectives and aim (Blooms levels and kolbs cycle)

Aim :

To collect, document and share patient illness (insert your illness here) event data followed by thematic analysis and evaluation to achieve a synthesis toward correlating improved learning outcomes with patient illness outcomes. 

Objectives :

1) To collect and document patient illness (morbidities and comorbidities) data in their historical timeline (Bloom's level 1 memory feed and Kolb's concrete experiences)

2) To match the collected individual particular patient event data with past  generalizable data around similar illnesses (Bloom's and Kolb's conceptual understanding)

3) To apply available knowledge based on one's experiences and past general knowledge concepts (level 1 and 2 above) through communicating (declarative knowledge) and performing (procedural knowledge) necessary procedures to improve diagnostic or therapeutic  outcomes in the particular illness under study (Blooms level 3 and Kolb's team based reflective observations and active experimentation)

4) To analyze particular patient event data by extracting them into thematic categories for further evaluation (Blooms level 4) 

5) To evaluate each thematic category of patient event data into diagnostically labeled morbidities as well as comorbidities and establish a relation between their intervention outcomes over time (Blooms level 5)

6) To synthesise new learning outcomes over what was available globally prior to the above (level 1-5) learning exercises with relevance to the particular illness under study and establish a relationship between the newly synthesized learning outcomes with that of the study patient's healing outcomes.(Blooms level 6)

More about the CPD :

The aim is to improve medical cognition in health profession students. 

Participants of our CPD and our case based blended learning ecosystem CBBLE learn to utilize medical cognition tools to integrate medical education and practice and eventually improve

global learning  toward local caring.

This year's theme is "Blooming real patient OSCEs."

More about the OSCE:

The apparently new OSCE we are trying to promote is hands on professional skill development in objectively structuring (OS) real patient centered subjectivity toward optimal clinical evaluation (CE) in improving real patient outcomes in real time!

There's nothing new to it as it's an age old routine real clinical workflow for every physician that often goes unsung and we are probably trying to add a song here!

More about the Thesis:

Ongoing projects in medicine other than the departmental post graduate thesis are all centred around "medical cognition" and optimizing clinical complexity using medical cognition tools.
