Evidence in Motion Fellows to start a new project in Physiopedia.
Fellows from Evidence in Motion, one of our Gold Sponsors, have created pages in Physiopedia before as part of their Fellowship programme. This new project is led by Dan Rhon, another of our Gold Sponsors with his apps at Clinically Relevant, and is a more structured approach to creating evidence based articles surrounding a specific topic.
Fellows will be divided into 5 groups of 2-3 people to work together. The expectation for these projects is that they are extensive and a comprehensive review of all available literature on each topic. They will be highly referenced and written at the level and profiency of a clinician at the fellowship level. These are the five topics that the fellows will be working on:
- Mobilization Grades
- SINSS
- Spine Segmental Assessment
- Subjective Exam – Diagnostic Strength
- Visual & Palpatory Alignment Assessment
We hope that the fellows enjoy this project, we will certainly enjoy having them contribute to Physiopedia! Read more about this project here.
EIM Student project
The EIM residents are at it again….. they are creating new pages in Physiopedia as part of an assignment for their residency training. They have created some great pages and really helped us to increase the content within Physiopedia, so thanks to all those involved.
EIM Capstone Course Assignment
EIM run an Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Residency program which is a planned program of post-professional clinical and didactic education for physical therapists designed to advance the physical therapist resident’s preparation as a provider of patient care services in orthopaedic physical therapy. the 2009 EIM Residents recently completed an assignment which involved making pages in Physiopedia as part of the capstone course in their residency training. They created some great pages and really helped us to increase the content within Physiopedia, so thanks to all those involved including Eric Robertson who co-ordinated the project.
100 article milestone broken!
This rolling stone hasn’t had a chance to gather any moss recently! We are delighted to announce that we now have over 100 great articles full of content. Mainly in the musculoskeletal field and with special thanks to the efforts of the students at the Mediacl College of Georgia and Evidence in Motion our content is rapidly growing.
The educational projects that have taken place in Physiopedia have so far been a great success, and initial feedback from the students and tutors has been resoundingly positive. We hope that other institutions will be encouraged by the success of these projects and join us in this global collaborative effort. It’s not all about educational institutions though, there are many other opportunities to be involved either as an individual or as a health care organisation. For individuals writing, reviewing and updating pages in Physiopedia is a great continuing education and professional development activity, and for physiotherapy and physical therapy departments and clinics Physiopedia is an innovative tool for staff and service development projects, see our Health Organisations Guide for more information on this.
So join us, encourage others, spread the word, let’s keep that stone rolling!!
New profile pages for partnering institutions
In these early days of Physiopedia we are very pleased to have partnered with our first group of educational institutions. The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Evidence in Motion, Regis University and the Medical College of Georgia have all been innovative and enthusiastic in their commitment to this open access project. We have been working with them to create assignments and modules for their students to complete within Physiopedia or to donate valuable content created by their students to Physiopedia.
As well as acknowledging these partnering institutions on the acknowledgements page we have now given them a profile page of their own. This allows us to inform our readers a little more about our partnering instituitons, provides a place to publish the way in which these institutions are collaborating with Physiopedia and link to the work that their students have completed.
