First presented at Medical Education Conference: Creative teaching and learning with new technology in new era, organised by Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan http://telatkaohsiung.blogspot.sg/ (conference presentation blog above) further reading http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26558420 Goh PS. Using a blog as an integrated eLearning tool and platform. Med Teach. 2015 Nov 11:1-2. [Epub ahead of print] PubMed PMID: 26558420. see also http://www.slideshare.net/dnrgohps/practical-tips-in-formulating-an-e-learning-strategy-and-developing-an-elearning-program-54045074 and http://www.slideshare.net/dnrgohps/the-role-of-e-learning-in-clinical-training-a-critical-evaluation

1. One strategy to utilise material from a
comprehensive indexed digital case-based
and educational repository by using an
educational blog/website to support
clinical residency training
Dr Goh Poh Sun
Associate Professor and Senior Consultant
Department of Diagnostic Radiology
National University Hospital
National University of Singapore

2. What are our objectives in clinical
residency training? What training
settings do these take place in?
Knowledge - class, practice settings
Skills - practice settings (deliberate
practice), class (demonstration and
feedback on performance)
Attitudes - practice settings
(observation/role models, feedback),
class (debrief)

3. Knowledge
What educational material do we
use in clinical residency training?
Text slides/illustrations/
multimedia
Clinical case examples/case
studies

4. Why do we do this? What is the
pedagogical intent of using this
material?
Text slides/illustrations/multimedia
- build theory, provide background
knowledge
Case studies - build experience,
provide opportunities to practice
(diagnostic thinking, problem
solving)

5. How can we use eLearning or Technology
enhanced learning (TeL) to support our
traditional clinical training?
Text slides/illustrations/multimedia -
share beforehand/make available online
Case studies - systematically build, and
curate a comprehensive collection of
clinical case based scenarios, and make
this available online (indexed/
searchable, hyperlinked) breadth,
whole spectrum, complexity, depth

6. Two examples (personal and from my
institution) - source of material, illustrating
use of blogs as a TeL tool and platform
Clinical radiology - lecture slides,
radiology images
Ophthalmology - slides and illustrations
from over one decade of monthly clinical-
radiology-pathology case conferences
(slides and illustrations/images)
(note all clinical illustrations, radiology
and pathology images are anonymised)

7. Clinical radiology
Slides (teach from blogs, slides exported as JPEG images
and posted on a teaching blog - available before, during
and after every training session) - illustrated by slides
provided for this session
Case studies - prospectively collect examples from day to
day clinical practice, regularly (every day), of
radiological examples of any educational value and post
this on a blog (automatic hyperlinking of every post, and
every image), and systematic, regular efforts to index and
categorise material (over last 4 years, have personally
posted almost 7000 anonymised radiology cases, over
300,000 page views; been shared over 3,000,000 times)

9. How do you use this material?
Illustration - part of formal
teaching/training; on the fly/on
demand
Mastery training/deliberate
practice program - broaden
experience, provide uniform
experience, deepen experience (see
illustration next slide)

10. - Reimagining a
postgraduate radiology
training curriculum: a pilot
eCurriculum project to
shorten radiology
residency training (ECR

11. Skills
TeL can support clinical training by
providing examples of optimal
clinical performance
http://
physicalexaminationproceduralskills.blogspot.sg/
Digital records of clinical
performance can be used for self
analysis and instructor feedback/
coaching (sports analogy)

material openly available online

collections)
