ABSTRACT
Objectives@#We present in this article the design and evaluation of a blended learning approach for training community healthcare providers in performing newborn hearing screening (NHS).@*Methods@#We developed a blended learning course for training community healthcare providers on eHealth-enabled NHS, following Bloom’s revised taxonomy of educational objectives. The training involved three components: computer-based training (CBT), face-to-face (FTF) training, and on-site coaching. We used surveys and post-training interviews following Level 1 Kirkpatrick’s training evaluation model to get initial feedback on the training program. @*Results@#Thirty-one community healthcare providers from five rural health units and a private hearing screening center, with a mean age of 42.2 ± 12.0 years, participated in the pilot. 93.5% of the participants agreed that the program content met stated objectives and was relevant to their practice. The length of the course was perceived to be adequate. Overall satisfaction with the program was rated at 8.5 ± 0.9 (with ten as the highest). The majority expressed that the CBT and FTF course were satisfactory at 93.5% and 100%, respectively. All participants agreed that the course enhanced their knowledge of newborn hearing screening and telehealth. Positive reviews were received from participants on the use of CBT to improve theoretical knowledge before FTF training. Participants declared that FTF training and on-site coaching helped improved NHS skills and implementation. @*Conclusion@#Competent community healthcare providers are critical to strengthening the performance of the health system, and advances in the education and technology sectors offer promising potential in upskilling local healthcare providers. The increasing access of Filipino healthcare providers to improved information and communications technology (ICT) is a significant catalyst for pedagogical innovation, like the use of blended learning in the continuous professional development of health practitioners. As ICTs gradually penetrate the health sector, the challenge we now face is not whether but how we can use innovations in education strategies to benefit healthcare providers.

Taking the micro-course The Connection Between Vertebrae as an example, this paper discusses the teaching design, production process and practical application of the anatomy micro-course, analyzes the existing problems and puts forward corresponding suggestions. The micro-course design integrates knowledge points with ideological and political elements, and applies a variety of teaching methods to make the teaching content interesting, enlightening and applicable. In the production process, using anatomical specimens, models and 3D software demonstration structure can make abstract knowledge intuitive and perceptual. Moreover, the artistry of micro-course is increased appropriately, and the misunderstanding of emphasizing appearance and neglecting design is avoided. The application of micro-course integrates the micro-course and online education platform to realize the intelligent education of information teaching. In addition, college teachers should improve the awareness of micro-course production and carry out systematic construction and application of micro-course resources.
ABSTRACT
Taking case discussion of clinical treatment options of primary liver cancer during clinical internship as an example, the course design of basic elements of case-based learning (CBL) was discussed. The purpose of clinical practice is to cultivate the clinical thinking ability of "selecting the best one from multiple treatment options", which is suitable for taking CBL teaching method. The design of CBL course includes 8 elements: teaching object, purpose, objectives, course content, implementation plan, key points for assessment, course evaluation and reference materials. The core points of the design of CBL course are that: ①The teaching objectives include knowledge, ability and professionalism; ②The course content should includes the training of decision-making organizations and clinical thinking ability of selecting the best one from multiple treatment options; ③The general CBL teaching procedure can be adopted in the implementation of the scheme that focuses on the decision-making issues defined in each decision-making step. The teaching practice of CBL on primary liver cancer cases discussion shows the basic design of CBL course is universal, which is helpful for teachers to design and implement CBL course on clinical treatment options.
ABSTRACT
Everything in life is about the story, from our every day, our holidays and trips, to going to the theater or the movies. Everything is about the story and attending a simulation-based course is not the exception. From designing and living, a scenario all the way to debriefing and to the whole course experience at the end the participant will take away the story, will remember the story and will share the story. This story has to be designed to the details, has to be told through languages and has an objective centered on the learner. In this reflection, I discuss with the reader my opinion regarding the relevance of creating a memorable story because at the end it is all about the story.
Tudo na vida é sobre a história, desde todos os dias, férias e viagens, até ir ao teatro ou ao cinema. Tudo é sobre a história, e participar de um curso baseado em simulação não é uma exceção. Desde o design e a vida, um cenário até o debriefing e toda a experiência do curso no final, o participante retirará a história, lembrará da história e compartilhará a história. Esta história deve ser projetada com detalhes, precisa ser contada através de idiomas e tem um objetivo centrado no aluno. Nessa reflexão, discuto com o leitor minha opinião sobre a relevância de criar uma história memorável, porque no final tudo se resume à história.

Foreign language teaching on doctor-patient communication has played an increasingly important role in accordance with the internationalization of medical education and the development of the Belt and Road Initiative. According to the model of integrated course design (ICD), foreign language teaching on doctor-patient communication is designed and carried out in the process of analyzing situational factors, identifying learning outcomes and learning assessments, designing learning activities and integrating all the factors to improve the learners' competency on English linguistics, intercultural communication as well as medical service for foreign patients. The teaching practice and assessment results prove that ICD could guide foreign language teaching on doctor-patient communication effectively, and this kind of teaching should be carried out actively in medical colleges from cross-cultural perspective.
