Open Modules in New Window
The Huffington Center on Aging, with initial support
from the John A. Hartford Foundation of New York, and the Stanford
University Geriatric Education Resource Center, is developing new
electronic educational material in geriatric medicine. Our purpose
is to provide clinicians-in-training and community practitioners with new
channels for self-instruction in geriatrics. Content is comprised of
original work supplemented with existing, high quality material from other
sources. The self-instruction modules are
distributed on CD-ROM and via an Internet web browser. Click on the
image above to review examples on the web.
 | The modules are routinely used for clinical teaching
at Baylor:
Residents/students are asked to review and report on a specific module
after seeing a patient during rounds, i.e. an incontinent
patient...review the module on urinary incontinence; |
| A computer learning laboratory is used by students,
residents, and faculty to review the modules on their own schedule; |
| Computers in a learning laboratory are reserved so
that several learners at a time can review module topics while the
attendant floats between them directing exploration; |
| Students of certain programs are required to explore
the topics in the learning lab or at home as part of their curriculum. |
Additional "product lines" are under
development to offer self-instruction opportunities for older persons,
their families and other health care professionals. For additional
information contact Dr. Tom Teasdale at Teasdale@bcm.tmc.edu.
