Collaborative development of geriatric education modules for resident education

Residents as Teachers: Outcomes of a Brief Training Programme

“…This proximity allows both formal and informal teaching, and therefore we wished to investigate whether student learning could be facilitated, and if it would be successful. Studies upon the process of cascading, that is, owing of skills from experienced teacher to novice and then to student (White et al, 1997), and peer teaching (Biernat et al, 1998) have often focused on the learning bene t to the RMO teacher, and few studies have examined the learning outcome of medical students resulting from teaching skill interventions with RMOs. This study was designed to address this de cit and also sought to determine if there were speci c dif culties whilst engaged in this exercise that could be identi ed.…”

Contexts for collaboration in healthcare education

“…This course was designed to provide nurses with knowledge and skills that did not form part of their basic training. A similar kind of collaborative enterprise is described by [4] who aimed to incorporate knowledge and skills in geriatric care in residents' training. The development of a common course may involve 'external' collaboration among various healthcare institutions e.g.…”

“…They are brought to change their teaching methods from 'no use of the technology for teaching' to 'use of video conferencing', for instance [2]. They also have to work towards integrating computing applications in the mainstream curriculum [7] and using technology (such as email) to communicate with their colleagues [4].…”
