Mohs Surgical Reconstruction Educational Activity: a resident education tool

BACKGROUND Surgical reconstructive planning following Mohs surgery can be a difficult subject for dermatology residents to master. Prior research demonstrates that active learning is preferred and more effective compared to passive learning models and that dermatology residents desire greater complexity and volume in surgical training. We present a novel, active, problem-based learning tool for...

Let's go shopping: a tool for pediatric resident education.

Residency training is designed to allow trainees to develop the clinical skills and the knowledge base necessary to practice their specialty independently.1 Most pediatric residency programs have been hospital-based, usually in tertiary care institutions. Even required primary care continuity experiences are often based within urban hospital clinics. As a result, pediatric residency graduates h...

Surgical Simulation Update for Resident Education in Plastic Surgery

Reconstruction of Traditional Architecture A Design Education Tool

The study of traditional built environments is instrumental in understanding the essence behind the formation of vernacular architecture. Insight gained from this study helps in learning important lessons about the mutual interaction between culture and architecture, and the effect that each has on the other. This approach was greatly used in teaching the history of architecture and, in some in...
