We propose to develop a brachytherapy simulation training program using 3D printed cancer models.
The Virtual Approach to Gynecology Project is a 360 virtual reality (VR) experience designed for trainees to have a non-interactive first-person simulation of performing a routine female pelvic exam – inclusive of speculum exam, pap smear, and vaginal specimen collection for gonorrhea and chlamydia screening.
Assessing Patient Advocacy among Internal Medicine Clerkship Student
PROPOSAL SUMMARY/ABSTRACT:
Advocacy on behalf of patients, particularly those most vulnerable to poor health outcomes, is a core value of the medical profession. However, while patient advocacy within physician professionalism is widely accepted, how to promote, value, and assess this skill is not well-defined nor routinely integrated into U.S. medical school curricula.
Cancer is the most common cause of death for Asian Americans, but many Asian American cancer patients do not receive appropriate treatment or survivorship care. To better address their needs, we will develop and test a culturally and linguistically tailored navigation program, Patients COUNTS. We will enroll 150 Asian American men and women recently diagnosed with colorectal, liver, or lung cancer. We will work with an Advisory Council comprised of members from the community and healthcare settings to ensure our platform is culturally relevant. Bilingual patient navigators will help patients: obtain appropriate clinical care, assist with logistical needs (e.g., transportation), and provide other support to address emotional, social, and stress-related needs. Patient COUNTS will use a multilingual (English, Chinese, Vietnamese) web-based patient portal to provide access to virtual or in-person patient navigation, cancer information and resources, and to assess patient-reported outcomes.
Given the fast spread of data visualization tools there should be some new ways to showcase DEB activities to the UCSF campus and to external audiences looking at our web or twitter presence, that goes beyond the impressive publications listing on our website or what is shown for publication networks on UCSF Profiles. This could include generating word clouds ( eg.
