Poster presentation delivered at the AMEE 2009 Conference, focussing on work undertaken by St George’s committed to ensuring access to undergraduate healthcare courses is equitable. We recognise that the requirement for potential applicants to undertake and reflect on relevant work experience can be a barrier for under-represented groups. Such applicants are less likely to have social connections to support their preparation for application Building on our innovative use of e-learning technologies, we have developed a website for potential applicants offering essential information and guidance about finding and reflecting on work experience to support students’ preparation for application and interview Students from all backgrounds have access to information to support work experience and enhance their preparation for university application. The structured reflective tools include a journal template for download and online blogging, which were discussed during the session.  

This is a basic introduction of some of the drugs used in various forms of shock.    

This slide presentation by Dr. Julie Brahmer, medical oncologist and lung cancer expert at Johns Hopkins University, reviews the factors to be considered in the selection of agents and timing of treatments given after first line therapy for advanced NSCLC.

This podcast is the archived version of NEI’s Sages of Psychopharmacology Webinar titled “From Clinical Trials to Clinical Practice: Recent Developments in Antipsychotic Therapy”. It includes the full discussion between Drs. Andrew Cutler and Stephen Stahl regarding the mechanistic and clinical profiles of recently approved antipsychotics as well as of those in late-stage and earlier clinical development.  

In this podcast, Drs. Andrew Cutler and Stephen M. Stahl debate how to achieve the optimum outcome in mood disorders. They describe rational combinations of mood stabilizing drugs and highlight some dangerous combinations, including when and why to avoid them.  

In this podcast, Drs. Andrew Cutler and Stephen M. Stahl describe the efficacy of atypical antipsychotics as mood stabilizers and discuss dosing practices for these agents from a disease-state-dependent perspective.  

In this podcast, Drs. Andrew Cutler and Stephen M. Stahl differentiate between both pharmacological and clinical properties of different classes of mood stabilizers, and discuss examples of when one might choose one class of mood stabilizer over another.

Overview of muscle relaxant drugs used during anaesthesia.  

I created this e-learning resource during my first Undergraduate Pharmacology BSc degree and it was used as a teaching aid to explain fundamental Pharmacokinetic principles to scientists carrying out Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. Having studied aspects of Pharmacology during the first year of my Graduate Entry Medical Degree at the University of Leicester, myself and my colleagues have found this interactive learning tool a valuable resource. The easy to use and interactive nature of learning allows the user to navigate around the resource and also test their knowledge on questions at the end. The effectiveness of the resource and feedback received from users is published in the journal Bioscience Horizons and can be found at http://biohorizons.oxfordjournals.org/content/2/2/113.full.pdf+html.

During our antibiotics teaching at medical school we were told that a recent survey of junior doctors had revealed that a significant proportion didn't realise that augmentin, tazocin, and carbopenems were penicillins and as such should not be given to those with known allergies. I devised a "mind-map" summarising the main antibiotics in use using information from the BNF and my own lecture notes. For me, seeing the information laid out in this manner, pinned above my desk as I work, helps me remember the major classes, their relationships with one another, and their major side-effects.

This video - produced by students at Oxford University Medical School in conjunction with the faculty - demonstrates how to use a nebuliser and explain correct inhaler technique to a patient. It is part of a series of videos covering Respiratory Medicine skills.  

Revision of these psychiatric conditions.  

An overview of ADHD  

A resource made to accompany an RLO on peri-arrest arrhythmias I designed as part of my Doctors as Teachers project at Peninsula. It describes the assessment and management of peri-arrest arrhythmias as well as pharmacology of certain drugs used in their management. Hope you find it useful x
