Une ressource en ligne classique en ophtalmologie, cybersight.org a récemment réaménagé son site Web pour le rendre encore plus convivial. Je consulte fréquemment le site depuis ma formation en raison de la pléthore de manuels, vidéos de chirurgie, webinaires et cours en ligne gratuits. Comme il s’agit d’une division d’Orbis, les ressources adoptent une perspective vraiment internationale et bon nombre de nos membres de la SCO y contribuent également. Le matériel pédagogique va des techniques cliniques de base aux approches surspécialisées, mais comprend également des informations très pratiques telles qu’un dictionnaire d’ophtalmologie chinois-anglais (https://cybersight.org/portfolio/chinese-fnglish-ophthalmology-dictionary/) avec phonétique romanisée du pinyin. Si vous aimez mettre à l’épreuve vos connaissances, il y a aussi des petits tests dont vous pouvez tirer des leçons. Donc, si vous cherchez une ressource Web en ophtalmologie mise à jour et digne de confiance à ajouter à vos signets, essayez cybersight.org.

Abstract

We present a case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with an initial medical presentation of keratoconjunctivitis, the first such reported case in North America. The patient’s primary symptom was a red eye with watery discharge, though she did have mild respiratory symptoms, without fever. She was diagnosed with keratoconjunctivitis; evolving corneal findings were characterized through repeat visits to ophthalmology. A conjunctival swab of the affected eye was positive for the SAR-CoV-2 virus. This case emphasizes the importance of ensuring that first-line health care providers, including ophthalmologists, optometrists, emergency physicians, and family physicians, consider COVID-19 on the differential for any patient with recent travel who presents with acute conjunctivitis. Having a high index of suspicion with this presentation would allow for appropriate precautions to be taken to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

Dans La compétence par conception (CPC), le coaching joue un rôle important dans l’apprentissage et la progression des résidents. Un coaching efficace exige des compétences, c’est pourquoi un groupe d’éducateurs cliniciens a créé les modules d’apprentissage en ligne « Le coaching vers la compétence »

Dans le modèle de coaching de la CPC, l’évaluation devient un outil d’apprentissage dans le modèle de coaching, et non uniquement une méthode d’évaluation.  Il exige que les cliniciens établissent un rapport pédagogique avec les résidents pendant qu’ils exécutent leurs tâches quotidiennes, leur offrent de la rétroaction avec coaching, et documentent la rencontre.

« Le coaching vers la compétence » comprend cinq activités interactives qui permettent à tous ceux qui enseignent aux résidents de mettre en pratique le processus de coaching RA-OCD. Elles ont pour but de vous aider repérer vos lacunes en matière de compétences et de connaissances liées au coaching et à les comble au moyen d’exercices, de réflexions et d’autres options d’apprentissage.

Participer  en ligne ou en personne  le 10 octobre de 13 h 30 à 14 h 30. Cette conférence interactive donnera un aperçu de ce que sont les publications prédatrices et décrira leur incidence sur les organismes, les chercheurs et les patients. Ce faisant, l’exposé portera sur des sujets connexes, y compris les mesures incitatives universitaires, le financement de la recherche et les politiques de la science. On discutera de l’incidence des revues prédatrices sur les efforts de synthèse des connaissances et sur la littératie du domaine de la santé. On fera des recommandations au sujet des mesures de protection que les intervenants peuvent mettre en place pour limiter l’interaction avec ces publications et pour aider à réduire le gaspillage de recherches dans la façon dont la recherche biomédicale est partagée et utilisée.

La conférencière Kelly Cobey, est investigatrice à l’Institut de recherche de l’Hôpital d’Ottawa (IRHO) au Centre for Journalology.
