Practicum Script guides clinicians to expand their diagnostic arsenal with informed and analytical criteria

DR. JORGE SANDOVAL

The gastroenterologist Jorge Sandoval is a resident in Costa Rica whose records in the Practicum Script simulator surpass a coincidence of 70% in hypotheses and 80% in scenarios. In his opinion, "certainty is not always present” in healthcare practice, “so the presentation of real clinical cases is quite useful." In fact, he believes that "uncertainty is constantly present in patient management and the criteria defining a therapeutic approach is based on experience and reasoned clinical suspicion."

Testimonies

Congratulations for doing this type of continuing medical education course that leads to activate clinical reasoning. It is crucial especially when you do not attend public hospitals, where paraclinical costs are provided, and your are a first contact physician.

Dr. Juan Manuel Zaragoza Michel

Pediatrician at Clínica Médica Morealia in Michoacán de Ocampo (México)

These courses are amazing and over the years have had variants that have improved our learning capacity and help us a lot in our daily practice. I also thank the bibliography that Practicum provides for the differential diagnoses. I have taken all the courses. This has motivated me to take courses from the most prestigious universities in the world through Coursera and Edx.

Dr. José Luis Campos Pahua

Pediatrician in charge of his own practice in Zitácuaro (Michoacán de Ocampo, Mexico

From the beginning it seemed to me like an excellent tool to keep in shape of pediatric medical knowledge. Its system is very pleasant and dynamic and makes you think of each answer by applying the knowledge you already acquired during your professional practice, as well as by supporting yourself in the comments of the teachers who direct the subject. I highly recommend it and I hope Practicum keeps expanding their experience in this way to all pediatric physicians in the country.

Dr. Alfredo Isas Vázquez

Pediatrician at Hospital San José in Monterrey (Mexico)

Excellent support for all those involved in the health of our patients. It encourages us to continue updating ourselves to be more accurate and confident in our daily medical practice. Thank you for this opportunity that we are taking advantage of every day to enrich our knowledge for the complete well-being of our population.

Dr. Salvador Caballero Dimas

It makes me rethink about my attitude and safety in daily medical practice.

Dr. José L. Suárez

Head of the Cardiology Internment Room of the Hospital General de Agudos

I consider it is a practical method, quick and simple to get feedback on our knowledge, since often time flies and we can't be up to date as we would like. 

Dr. Rogelio Ochoa Aldana

Pediatrician, Sinaloa (Mexico)

It doesn't matter if I read that the experts' opinions are concordant with mine; in the end, what you get out of it is a lot of training. Remember that we physicians will always have discrepant opinions and the gray area in medicine is always very wide, so the most important thing is that day to day we keep our minds open to learning and knowing other physicians' or groups of physicians' opinions about particular cases.

Dr. Miguel Olivares Alcocer

Pediatrician, Guanajuato (Mexico)

I consider it is a very entertaining and interesting methodology; the comments of the experts help to consider the patients from a practical point of view. As the program progresses, the method of thinking in the diagnostic and therapeutic process changes.

Dr. Jacqueline Fierro Jara

Gastroenterologist pediatrician (Chile)

I really enjoyed this activity. It has helped me to reflect on innovative training strategies in medical education.

Dr. Carlos José Jaramillo

Professor in Cardiology. Medicine Faculty at Universidad de Antioquia in Medellín (Colombia)

Excellent continuous medical training tool, which promotes the flexibility of reasoning when facing the patient. It is an excellent exercise in clinical analysis.

Dr. Norma Isela Ramírez

Great. Even if I didn't reach 100 score points during the resolution of the cases, the objective is to learn. I appreciate the opportunity to complete this course, the cases are very well designed.

Dr. Ricardo Guraieb Ibarrola

Pediatrician at American British Cowdray Hospital in Distrito Federal (Mexico)

It is a challenge to think quickly and coherently. It speeds up your reasoning and links your theoretical and practical knowledge together. It is an excellent exercise. It is important for me to see how the more I practice, the quicker and better I respond

Dr. Ofelia R. Casas

Pediatrician and neonatologist. Argentina

Excellent clinical cases that bring you very close to the approach used in decision making in real pediatric practice. This is invaluable material that makes us think precisely in the situations we encounter in our clinical practice

Dr. Armando José Briceño

Pediatrician. Centro Médico Pensiones. Yucatán (México)

I think this is a good tool, especially because of what you learn from the different opinions, because medical practice is based on good clinical judgment as well as on knowledge

Dr. Carolina Guerrero Pando

Cardiologist. México
