William D Clark

This book is well organized, concisely written, and nicely illustrated. The authors (a radiologist and two oral surgeons) have directed their work toward "emergency room personnel, medical and dental students, residents, and practitioners in all disciplines dealing with the traumatized patient." Certainly, some of these persons will find the book informative. However, practitioners who are well ...

There is a “new look” in medical education. I refer to increasing emphasis upon instructional computer programs. This software has brought a new dimension to education in medical school and residency periods, as well as postgraduate years. How many of these programs are appropriate for the needs of our readers? Which software packages are particularly useful for the younger physician in training, ... [Show full abstract] and which are aimed at the practicing specialist? We are pleased to offer the readers of Chest clinical guidance in this new department entitled, “Reviews of Computer Programs in Cardiopulmonary Medicine and Surgery.” In many respects, the format is similar to our Bookshelf section and the purposes are similar. We are pleased that Dr. Fredrick Hanson, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, will serve as the department editor for this new section.

CTRead – A Revolutionary Approach to Training Residents in CT Facial Bones Interpretation

April 2019 · Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to create an online, web-based training module that would instruct a group of residents in the interpretation of a computed tomography (CT) facial bone scan in a logical, stepwise manner to locate and identify all relevant facial fractures. Our hypothesis was that implementing the CTRead facial bones training module would improve residents' competency in the ... [Show full abstract] interpretation of CT facial bone scans. Materials and methods: We designed and implemented a prospective quasi-experimental trial. The population for the present study included medical and dental residents. The primary outcome variable was the difference between the pre- and post-test scores of the participants and the frequency of missing fractures before and after the course. The secondary outcomes of interest were subjective data gathered from the course, including participants' feedback and subjective evaluation of the training module and perceived benefit. Another secondary outcome measured was the residents' self-reported confidence level in interpreting the CT facial bone scans on their own before and after completion of the course. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were used. Results: The population sample included 38 residents from North America, aged 25 to 34 years (mean, 28.2 years). When comparing the results from before and after the course, the overall frequency of missed fractures had decreased from 20.7 to 6.4 (P < .001), and the total score overall had increased from 32.7 to 74.7% (P < .001). Regarding the secondary outcomes, most participants indicated that they agreed or strongly agreed with a number of positive subjective queries. In addition, we found a statistically significant increase in the participants' comfort level in the interpretation of CT facial bone scans. Conclusions: The results of the present study have confirmed the hypothesis that completing the CTRead training module (available at: www.CTRead.ca) improves competency among residents in the interpretation of CT facial bone scans and their correctly identification of facial fractures.
