We continue to explore innovative ways of teaching anesthesia to our faculty and trainees with several ongoing projects. Dr. Shirin Saeed is working on using Chat-Bot for education and Dr. Nadav Levy is working on advances in Simulation and using Virtual Reality for education.
Virtual Reality in Education
We have integrated virtual reality-based training which allows trainees to immerse themselves in realistic simulations in a controlled environment. It is freely accessible at any time ensuring our team can continuously refine their techniques without constraints. This commitment to leveraging virtual reality underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest standard of care.
Chat-Bot for Education
We are building a chatbot to streamline learning experiences by providing instant access to concise reviews and personalized inquiries. It will be tailored to address all queries ensuring efficiency and convenience.
Future Direction
We are pioneering the development of a specialized large language model tailored specifically to our specialty of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine. Imagine having an attending physician in your pocket, ready to provide expert insights and guidance at any
moment.
Our goal is to create a cutting-edge resource that provides educators with instant access to accurate and up to date information sourced directly from guidelines and publications. The incorporation of a customized LLM in anesthesia education can also facilitate the development of graded complexity testing questions tailored to individual rotations in anesthesia. This allows for a more personalized and progressive learning experience, adapting to the trainee’s level of expertise and specific learning needs. Additionally, by integrating core topics and procedures from related surgical fields, we can create a more comprehensive and focused training resource. This targeted approach not only enhances the educational experience for residents and fellows but also prepares them more effectively for the complexities of clinical practice in anesthesia.
Gamification in Education
Gamification in medical education revolutionizes learning by integrating interactive simulations, quizzes, and virtual patient scenarios. It engages learners through challenges and rewards, fostering critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills. By immersing students in realistic scenarios, gamification enhances retention and application of medical knowledge, ultimately preparing them for real-world healthcare challenges with confidence and proficiency.
