General emergency medicine skills for rural doctors
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Context and setting Rural doctors who practise emergency medicine need to be appropriately skilled to handle medical emergencies. Why the idea was necessary Doctors in remote areas have difficulty accessing relevant programmes in emergency medicine. What was done Alberta's Rural Physician Action Plan (RPAP) established a working committee consisting of RPAP's programme manager, 2 skills brokers (both rural doctors), rural and tertiary emergency doctors and the director of the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS). A needs assessment carried out in 2001 identified a rural knowledge gap surrounding certain skills in emergency medicine that were not covered in current continuing medical education programmes. To address this deficiency, the committee developed a programme for rural doctors designated General Emergency Medicine Skills (GEMS), which included both cognitive and practice components. The cognitive component utilised a CD ROM multimedia approach, allowing doctors to learn at their own pace and locale. Four modules were produced: Preparation for Transport; C-Spine/CT-Head; Rapid Sequence Intubation, and Central Venous Access. Each requires about 1.5 hours to complete. Following completion, STARS scheduled a visit to the doctors' rural hospital with their mobile human patient simulator (HPS). This allowed the entire emergency team to practise scenarios developed by the STARS HPS clinicians using information derived directly from the CD ROM modules. Participants received instant feedback and exposure to new techniques and equipment. Doctors were able to enhance their skills further with the tertiary emergency doctors at the University of Calgary Medical School's anatomy laboratory. Participants in GEMS register online and each doctor who completes all CD modules and the HPS component receives a $1000 honorarium. Completion of a pre/post online knowledge test qualifies for continuing medical education credits through the College of Family Physicians of Canada Mainpro-C programme. During the pilot year, which began in September 2004, 66 sets of modules were distributed. A programme evaluation survey was distributed. Evaluation of results and impact All 16 doctors who completed the pilot programme returned a survey. The educational value of each module was highly rated (6.1/7–6.5/7). Of the 79 specific learning objectives participants listed, expectations for 70 (89%) were either completely fulfilled or exceeded. The modules facilitated: maintenance of current knowledge (6.1/7); new knowledge acquisition (5.5/7), and confidence in dealing with emergencies (5.4/7). All participants utilised the STARS HPS. The anatomy laboratory component was not accessed. Participants felt the STARS HPS: reinforced module knowledge (6.3/7); allowed practice of the skills presented in modules (6.3/7), and was essential to benefit fully from the modules (6.2/7). Regarding programme administration, participants agreed that: the application process was easy (6.1/7); terms/conditions were reasonable (6.3/7); the honorarium of $1000 was fair (6.3/7), and general programme administration was good (6.5/7). Overall, GEMS has positively affected participants' delivery of emergency medicine (5.7/7) and willingness to continue rural emergency medicine (5.5/7). Feedback has initiated minor changes to facilitate participant follow-up and completion. GEMS can help rural doctors to not only learn and practise emergency medicine skills, but to do so with confidence. Interactive training can be delivered at the rural site.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
