SPECIAL DEMONSTRATION

 

A PDA Survival Guide for the Clinical Neurosciences

 

John D. Wells

McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

 

ABSTRACT:

 

A PDA version of selected information from www.neurosurvival.ca, a web site dedicated to providing information needed by learners and others as they confront clinical situations and learning opportunities while at work in clinical settings. For example, the How to Read a CT Scan of the Brain provides an anatomy guide and other aids to interpretation of such images. We have linked the material on this PDA set of information to the objectives and evaluations components of structured electives in neurosurgery for medical students and for rotating non-neuroscience residents.

 

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:

 

 A variety of presentation techniques are included in our PDA for learners on our service. Because most entries have been made by learners themselves a refreshingly imaginative and varied set of entries have been brought together. How to Read a CT Scan of the Brain is an example. We hope that this demonstration will be of interest to those who share our interest in making best use of these devices for learners active in clinical situations.
