Looking for a reason to maintain hope. Has anyone had @AirCanada lose their bag (scanned as accepted, and nothing afterward) and happened to ever see it again? I even called lost and found at STL, to try to track it down on my own.

[Irina Charania @ProudRRT]

@AirCanada DM sent! Looking forward to resolution.

[Irina Charania @ProudRRT]

@AirCanada please find my luggage. I dropped off my priority bag at the check-in counter in STL last Friday, and it has not been seen since. Please help!!!
I was coming home from a work trip for the @Laerdal SMS, and all my work clothes and shoes were inside.

@AirCanada, please find my luggage. I traveled home last week from a work event in STL, and the last time there is any record that my bag existed was when it was accepted at the Priority Counter, and had Priority Tag attached and scanned. It had all my work clothes.

Have you seen Falling Through the Cracks: Greg's Story? - https://t.co/IjH2x7Fv9p

It appears I have been living under a rock, as it was only today that I came across @MackayIM's brilliant Swiss cheese model adaptation.

Great reminder of how the path forward needs to be build on "both and" approaches, rather than "either or"

@whykeepitup @EricTopol It was originally published in the review article by Hou et al.

The adapted version currently shared adds the contextually relevant info for this conversation though

@Chris__Merritt @michelleschmude Absolutely! We run some, but not nearly enough CME sessions. On the hopefull side when we do we consistently get participants returning for subsequent sessions and continuing to request session. The biggest hurdle is getting the 1st one set-up. #hmichat

A3: This is an interesting question. I unfortunately think we still have a large gap between best/optimal and practical/realistic. Optimal would be clinical performance, practical is most often improvent in future sims or confidence #hmichat

[Lauren Mazzurco @LaurenMazzurco]

Now onto Q3! Please remember to include A3 and #HMIchat in your responses.

@michelleschmude I think the best way would be to utilize a multi-faceted approach, including reflection and programmatic assessment - https://t.co/ZEVOC1xsfb

@michelleschmude We have consistently heard from our learners (anecdotally) that they felt more prepared in dealing with challenging situations after they have encountered them in #simulation. #hmichat

@nthibodeaujarry We have also helped our #Psychiatry program develop sims to prepare their R1s for their first overnight call shifts and their R4 & R5s to practice independently managing some challenging cases including complications during ECT (in partnership with #anaesthesia)

[Irina Charania @ProudRRT]

A1: The role of simulation is context dependent. For pre-licensure it is largely to develop skills and confidence; post-licensure it is to manitain skills/competence with infrequent presentations and continue to develop one's practice #hmichat

[Irina Charania @ProudRRT]

@nthibodeaujarry We have partnered with our #neurorehab team to create sim sessions where residents, nurses and allied health need to work together to care for multiple patients and attend to emergent situations as they arise - Autonomic dysreflexia, unwitnessed falls, aggression post-TBI

Hello from cold Calgary. Looking forward to the discussion!

I have always been a fan of open book exams, not because they are easier (when written well the are not), but because I feel they provide a better picture of my ability to apply what I have learned (focus on transferability of knowledge).

A short blue sky, non-exhaustive thread #MedEd #medtwitter #orthotwitter

When I worked at a Hospital that shall remain nameless, was advised to “read about very common stuff but have google & orthobullets open, during clinic

So…should we have “open book” exams?

I have been struggling to get through to the vaccine hesitant members of my immediate family. This analogy captures their perspectives, though unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in getting them to take a meta view and reconsider them. https://t.co/0RdxGKeatP
