It is very well structured, with a clinical foundation for the development of practical approaches to diagnoses and treatments

DR. VICENTE MIRÓ PALAU

Physician in charge of the Heart Failure Unit of the La Fe Hospital in Valencia (Spain)

Dr. Vicente Miró Palau, a physician in charge of the Ischemic Heart Disease and Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit at La Fe Hospital in Valencia (Spain), to which he has dedicated his career after residency, is a distinct user of the simulation platform Practicum Script Cardiology. His indicators prove that: 85% of coincidences in scenarios and 90% in hypotheses. In his favor is the fact that he audited a couple of cases for the course. From this position and as a resident preceptor and professor at the University of Valencia, he relies on the simulator as a method to develop medical criteria.

Madrid, February 26, 2019. "Practicum Script has great value in strengthening logical reasoning that leads to better management of different diagnostic and therapeutic options," according to the clinical cardiologist Vicente Miró Palau. The former (2017) auditor of Practicum Script Cardiology recently passed with a good score the continuous professional development training. He sees in this clinical simulation tool “a reliable way to deal with the uncertainty of daily clinical practice.” In his opinion, “it is very important to keep clinical reasoning alive to solve problems, and the best way to do that is to exercise thinking.”

His testimony has a special meaning, considering that he is responsible for different areas of noninvasive diagnosis and, in recent years, has focused on clinical cardiology and is in charge of the ischemic heart disease and cardiac rehabilitation unit at the University Hospital La Fe in Valencia, a center that has just been awarded the SEC-Excellent seal. Based on his experience, Dr. Miró believes that “Cardiology in Spain is living a great moment: the main hospitals are very well equipped from a professional and technical point of view; practice is at the highest level in the world, with important leaders of opinion and research at an international level.”

This advance rotates around clinical practice. The good thing is that "Practicum Script is very well structured, with a clear clinical foundation based on clinical cases for the development of logical and practical approaches to different diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the patient.” In Dr. Miró’s opinion, this results in better patient care and optimal use of healthcare resources. "Ideally," he says, "one should never make mistakes, but it is better to make mistakes in a simulator that favors knowledge of the problem, provides a detailed and documented solution for the mistake made, allows the knowledge to settle, and prevents [the mistake] from happening again.”

Virtual Athenaeum
The objective is to think outside the box and deal with the phenomena of complexity, dissent, and controversy that are so distant from the traditional objectivist perspective, in which knowledge is understood as an absolute fact that constitutes the only truth. With that in mind, Dr. Miró spent six years as a resident preceptor, a position he held between 2012 and 2018, and as a professor: he is currently a collaborating professor at the University of Valencia, teaching clinical practice to medical students and Cardiology seminars. Both paths converge in their renewed commitment to this disruptive format centered on clinical reasoning.

Testimonies

For me, the program is very interesting, since it allows me to sharpen my interrogation and direct it more towards a specific pathology and to have more knowledge of laboratory and cabinet exams. I think it is very important that we keep our medical sagacity throughout our practice and that in the few minutes it takes to answer any of the cases that Practicum Script presents, you acquire more knowledge.

Pediatrician in Guanajuato (Mexico)

I would like to express my gratitude to the Practicum Institute of Health Sciences Research for the opportunity given to Latin American physicians  to access and take different courses of our specialty for the benefit of our dear patients, in my case in Mexico. It has encouraged me to improve myself and keep abreast of the advances in Pediatrics and put into practice the knowledge acquired in the hospital where I work. Thanks friends and congratulations to this valuable team of Practicum Script Education.

I am grateful for this study tool that, through Nestlé and with this method, allows us to review different issues with cases that confront us in decision-making and serve us in the daily consultation.

Dr. Josué Refugio de León Padilla

Pediatrician in Jalisco (Mexico)

It is an excellent educational support platform for the pediatrician, offers very specific clinical challenges with alternatives for diagnosis and differential diagnoses, with the support of experts, a bibliography and a forum to share opinions. It's easy to navigate and it's fun, a tool that's worth using and making the most of it.
