Case Western Reserve University / SVCH Medical Residents Blog
Ok people ask me all the time how blogs are being used in medicine besides just the personal diary of what a doctor sees every day.
I have an interesting and excellent blog site to show you just how a group of Internal Medicine Residents are using blogs. The Case Western Reserve University St. Vincent Charity Hospital (SVCH) Blog (http://svch.blogspot.com/) is "for the residents by the residents."
This blog contains the usual current events which are common to many blogs, but also contains information the sections, Clinical Cases and Images, Question an Answer, Physical Exam, Procedure Skills, and Hit the Road.
Clinical Cases and Images, "a case-based curriculum of clinical medicine" offers clinical cases and images by topics, Cardio, Pulmo, GI, Nephro, Endo, Hem/Onc, Rheum, ID, Neuro, Other.
Question an Answer, provides questions answers (with links to the sources) to the morning report questions.
Physical Exam, lists free web sites where residents can "brush up your physical exam skills."
Procedure Skills is resource for residents to learn more on various procedures such as Central Line placement, Arterial Line placement, Thoracocentesis, and ACLS refresher.
Hit the Road is the rest and relaxation section where places to go and things to do in Ohio and elsewhere are profiled.
Example of some of the posts found through out the site:
- Journal Club and Case Conference - Everything You Need for a Successful Presentation
- Interested in the Clinical Evidence?
- ICU What To Do Guide
- Imaging - EKG, CXR, CT scans
- R & D - Research Projects and Articles by Residents
- KGs with Dr.Koch - It's Not Only Educational it's Also Fun!
- Best of the Web
- News You Can Use - The (too) Easy Way
- Resident Notes
- End Of Life Care
- Programs for Pocket PC Users
- Finding a Job After the Internal Medicine Residency
I am very excited to share this blog site with people. I think the section Clinical Cases and Images is worth looking through to find great places for images and cases.
This blog site very similar to the type of site I mention in my article, The Use of Blogs in Medical Libraries which scheduled to be published in the Journal of Hospital Librarianship Vol 6 No 1. In the article I mention that blogs offer a perfect place to enhance medical student education. Weblogs offer students an opportunity for easy distribution and dissemination of collaborative information. A blog would serve as a centralized resource area where students could post notes, link to medical resources, and discuss questions and topics would help organize the onslaught of information. In my article I mentioned it would be particularly help for medical students in PBL classes but here is another perfect example where residents are using blogging technology to enhance organize the medical education and residency program. WOW! I wish I had found this site when I was writing my article. The reason I don't think I found it is because I was looking for what librarians/libraries are doing with blogs and it doesn't appear that there is a librarian contributing to this site. Great site, I think a librarian within their program/hospitals would be able to contribute valuable content. See if you don't get out there and do something, somebody else will.
