  4. 2. From in-situ simulation to beyond : improving paediatric trauma care

    Author : Ralph James MacKinnon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: In-situ-simulation (ISS) has been adopted across the globe as an educational tool to enhance the quality of care provided to severely injured children. As an intervention that trains individuals where they work, when they work, and with whom they work, ISS is well positioned to overcome many of the challenges of paediatric trauma care. READ MORE

  5. 3. Virtual patients as an innovative educational tool in transcultural psychiatry

    Author : Ioannis Pantziaras; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Medical Education;

    Abstract : Background: The dramatic increase in the number of patients with diverse ethnic backgrounds who have been exposed to severe mental trauma demonstrates that there is an urgent need for improvement in the quality of transcultural psychiatric health care through the development and evaluation of relevant and effective training tools. Aim: This thesis describes the development and scientific study of a new medical educational tool based on Virtual Patient (VP) methodology and the evaluation of different aspects that highlight its educational potentials as a train environment for the clinical management of traumatised refugee patients.
