Ever since the Flexner report curricula of medicine have been scrutinized to account for uniform standard learning across graduates and to ensure minimum competency attainment. This 60 minute session is an expert consultation session where experts inside and outside UAE will gather together to identify best practices and challenges of ensuring contextual curricular design.

Questions will be raised regarding issues that pertain to curriculum and curricular identity, curriculum components and the use of guidelines and standards to build competitive curricula. Topics covered in depth include standardization in curriculum design, competency-based curriculum, and contextualization in curricular design.

  • 5 mins: introduction of guests
  • 10 minutes: Q1 (standardization in curricular design)

Healthcare Simulation and Faculty Development

  • How to become a simulation educator? – Mr. Rich Ormonde, Resuscitation Training Manager
  • The State of the art in Morocco – Prof. Mohammed El Mouhaoui, Head of Emergency Department, University Hospital of Casablanca
  • Proficiency-Based Training : Training the trainers – Prof. Ahmed El Minawi, Professor of Ob&Gyn, Chief of Minimally Invasive Endoscopy Unit. Director, VESSALKA

This 60-minute session is for the discussion of an important approach. The session will be addressing two important trends in medical education and how they could be combined. The first one is CBME which is now evolving and progressing with a somewhat quick pace. Competency frameworks have been developed by regulatory agencies and professional bodies. Medical programs are implementing the approach with a degree of diversity in its implementation. Programmatic assessment is also gaining grounds as a recommended approach in medical education. Applying programmatic assessment in a challenging issue and it needs to be thoroughly studies and meticulously planned for. The session will be conducted with a major contribution from a renowned figure in the field of assessment in medical education, Professor John Norcini. The session will start with an overview about CBME in which the speaker will which the speaker will interactively introduce the principles and concepts of competency-based medical education. This will be followed by a keynote by the expert, based on the Ottawa 2020 consensus statement for programmatic assessment - 1. Agreement on the principles and the expert’s own experience. The speaker will advise the audience on how they could start planning for programmatic assessment for their CB curriculum by constructively mapping and aligning the competencies they identified for their curriculum as a starting point for the assessment plan. The final part of the session will be a panel discussion in which the audience will discuss with panelists the challenges that they face or might face when implementing programmatic assessment in a CBME environment.

This session is a trip into the History of Medicine. Prof. Ossama takes participants into the history of where the practice started from and how many outbreaks mankind has endured. This interactive session is designed to capture the rich history of medicine from time immemorial till today. This session not only enlightens participants, but it also serves as a motivational talk for young doctors.

The key enablers of transformational learning are the teaching strategies, principles and approaches used. Polishing the teaching learning tools will make learning robust and enjoyable while enhancing critical analysis and retention. This session will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches.

A knowledge of the advances in neuroscience and cognitive science will help educators to make the best use of pedagogical interventions. Iincreasing emphasis has been placed on deliberate training on instilling the ability to make sense of the cluster of features presented by a patient and to accurately assign a diagnostic label; and to select the appropriate management tool.

The emergence of Competency based medical education has brought with it the challenges of collecting data sufficient for making decisions on progression. This session will give an insight into the experience of the use of portfolios, coaching and feedback for the implementation of CBME in undergraduate medical education.

In this 60 minutes session, we will explore the challenges and opportunities for medical educators to advance their practice and improve the education of medical professionals. In addition, we will discuss the importance of collaboration between medical educators, medical students, and other stakeholders to advance medical education. Finally, we will discuss how medical education research can be used to inform policy decisions and inform medical educators on how to best prepare students for the future.

Speakers:
El Mouhaoui, Mohammed
Speakers:
Dr. Youness Zidoun

Timing : 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM on 19th Feb

Abstract:

Simulation-based education is a teaching method that uses simulated scenarios and other modalities to train healthcare professionals. These simulations can range from simple mannikin-based exercises to highly realistic virtual reality simulations. The goal of healthcare simulation-based education is to provide healthcare professionals with a safe and controlled environment to practice and develop their skills, as well as to expose them to a wide range of medical scenarios that they may encounter in real practice. In this workshop, trainees will be introduced to simulation-based education and its different modalities. Aspects like preparation of scenarios, execution, and debriefing techniques will be discussed and practiced to uncover the power of this educational paradigm and help educators to adopt it in the future.

Objectives:

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to

  • Differentiate techniques and methods of healthcare simulation
  • Integrate simulation into a medical curriculum by identifying the objectives and tools
  • Build simulation activities suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate training

The workshop : Proficiency-Based Training In Surgery

Speakers:
Prof. El Minawi, Ahmed

Timing : 8:30 AM to 1:15 PM on 19th Feb


Sponsored by

Aim:

Why do surgical complications happen?
The reasons are inexperience and defects in eye-hand coordination leading to a long learning curve, poor knowledge of human three-dimensional anatomy, and lack of knowledge of the equipment and control of the instrument’s functionality. Learning curves can now be generated via virtual reality simulators, monitoring the improvement of technical skills during simulator training. Augmented reality can help bridge the gap in anatomical navigation.

The traditional focus in education has been on testing cognitive abilities (knowledge or Know-How) applied as end-of training exams, rather than assessing the actual performance.

This workshop introduces the concept of Proficiency based task training utilizing 21st century VR technology. Together with Haptic feedback this allows almost lifelike surgical experiences.

Candidates will learn how to utilize this technology and adapt it to allow customized courses tailored to the existing level of surgical expertise. They will learn how to integrate inanimate models, manual trainers, and VR trainers to generate Hybrid courses more suited to the needs of the trainees.
