HANDS-FDF (Home and Away Nine DayS - Faculty Development Fellowship) is an Innovative Faculty Development Program / 医学教育

HANDS-FDF (Home and Away Nine DayS-Faculty Development Fellowship) is probably the first home and away format, continuous faculty development program for primary care physicians deliberately developed by officially FD trained director based on the existing successful programs and pilot testing by officially FD trained director. This fellowship has many unique features with 146 stellar graduates and 15 year history. Other prospective course developer may benefit from studying this course in detail.

Discussion on training of non-technical skills (NTS) in critical care medicine based on high fidelity human patient simulator / 中华医学教育探索杂志

High fidelity human patient simulator has become more and more important in clinical medical practice education.Medical circle has more and more realized that non-technical skill (NTS) is closely associated with the improvement of medical quality.This paper attempted to carry out a preliminary discussion on theory and practice of applying NTS in simulation training of critical care medicine based on their own teaching experiences.

Medical simulation is needed in anesthesia training to achieve patient's safety / 대한마취과학회지

Many medical schools and hospitals throughout the world are equipped with a simulation center for the purpose of training anesthesiologists to perform both technical and non-technical skills. Because induction, maintenance, and emergence of general anesthesia are critical to patient welfare, various simulation mannequins and tools are utilized for the purpose of training anesthesiologists for safer patient care. Traditionally, anesthesia residency training mostly consisted of didactic lectures and observations. After completion of "traditional" training, anesthesia residents were allowed to perform procedures on patients under supervision. However, simulation would be a more effective training tool for which to teach anesthesiologists the skills necessary to perform invasive procedures, such as endotracheal intubation, central venous catheter insertion, and epidural catheter insertion. Recently, non-technical skills, such as the Anesthesia Non-Technical Skills developed by anesthesiologists from Aberdeen University, have been emphasized as an important training resource. Technical skills and non-technical skills can be learned by anesthesiology residents through a standardized and organized simulation program. Such programs would be beneficial in training anesthesia residents to work efficiently as a team in the operation room.
