  • 00:00To our our yes session
  • 00:02today,
  • 00:03Yale Medical Educator Series. I'm
  • 00:05Dana Dunn. I co direct
  • 00:08this series with Andreas Martin,
  • 00:09who you're gonna hear from
  • 00:10today.
  • 00:11And,
  • 00:12I just wanna take a
  • 00:13moment to mention that this
  • 00:15is gonna be recorded, and
  • 00:16all of the recordings are
  • 00:17available on the center for
  • 00:18medical education website. If you
  • 00:19go to educator development and
  • 00:21recordings, you'll find them there
  • 00:23if you miss any of
  • 00:23these sessions.
  • 00:25And I also want to
  • 00:27introduce our speaker today, you
  • 00:29know, him from,
  • 00:31some of the sessions we've
  • 00:32had already. And I think
  • 00:34this is his final in
  • 00:35the classroom teaching, but then
  • 00:36he does have a few
  • 00:37more this season talking more
  • 00:39about manuscript, abstract, and
  • 00:43posters
  • 00:44posters as well. So kind
  • 00:46of the professional
  • 00:47continuing medical
  • 00:49development as well. So Andreas
  • 00:51Martin is a professor in
  • 00:53the child psychiatry
  • 00:54department. He's also one of
  • 00:56our longitudinal coaches
  • 00:58in for the medical students,
  • 00:59and he also directs
  • 01:01the new ish
  • 01:03medical education concentration for the
  • 01:05medical students. So
  • 01:07he has
  • 01:08tons of experience,
  • 01:10and,
  • 01:11this is a really
  • 01:12useful session, I think, today
  • 01:14for whether you're a classroom
  • 01:15or
  • 01:16somebody who does a workshop
  • 01:17for a national meeting or
  • 01:19does something for your residents.
  • 01:22If you could go just
  • 01:23maybe to that mapping slide
  • 01:24before I stop talking, Andreas,
  • 01:27to remind you that we
  • 01:29shared in the beginning of
  • 01:30the season, and they're available
  • 01:32if you Google
  • 01:33it. And then I'm sorry.
  • 01:34And then we'll come back
  • 01:35to the CME code in
  • 01:36a minute that
  • 01:37there are clinician educator milestones
  • 01:39now written for faculty.
  • 01:41So we had
  • 01:43highlighted at the beginning of
  • 01:44the season that we would,
  • 01:46aim to try to cover
  • 01:47a lot of the competencies,
  • 01:50and highlight which ones we're
  • 01:51covering at each session so
  • 01:53that you can kind of
  • 01:54follow along and tailor your
  • 01:56experience recognizing what,
  • 01:58competencies these sessions are focusing
  • 02:00on. So now I'll stop
  • 02:02messing up your slide order
  • 02:04and turn it over to
  • 02:05you, Andreas. And and and
  • 02:07if people have any questions,
  • 02:08put them in the chat.
  • 02:09I'll monitor that, and there'll
  • 02:10be time for questions at
  • 02:11the end.
  • 02:13Great. Thank you, Dana. And,
  • 02:16you can mess up my
  • 02:17slides any day. No problem.
  • 02:19So this is for CME.
  • 02:22All our all of our
  • 02:23activities
  • 02:24at Yes are,
  • 02:26CME approved, so we encourage
  • 02:28you to take a second
  • 02:29and
  • 02:30and claim your credit.
  • 02:39Okay.
  • 02:40So,
  • 02:42what are we're gonna be
  • 02:43talking about today is how
  • 02:45to make the
  • 02:47most of working with small
  • 02:48groups.
  • 02:50And,
  • 02:51and, incidentally, we're also gonna
  • 02:53be talking about how to
  • 02:54incorporate a number of technologies
  • 02:56into this.
  • 02:57It's, nice to have this
  • 02:59image which blends both. It's
  • 03:00a bunch of medical students,
  • 03:03and even though they're not
  • 03:04using a technology,
  • 03:06this image was created with,
  • 03:07AI, with the program DALL
  • 03:09E. And I just said
  • 03:11create an image of medical
  • 03:13students
  • 03:14intensely concentrated in group work.
  • 03:16So there you have it.
  • 03:20So
  • 03:21I I think that
  • 03:22many of us, certainly myself,
  • 03:25we're socialized
  • 03:27and educated,
  • 03:28and I really wanna emphasize
  • 03:29that socialized
  • 03:31by this model of learning
  • 03:32in which we had the
  • 03:33all knowing
  • 03:34f
  • 03:36and
  • 03:38the mignon e blues.
  • 03:40And
  • 03:42the transfer of knowledge really
  • 03:44went from top down. It
  • 03:46was very linear by each
  • 03:48student.
  • 03:50That's unfortunately how I learned
  • 03:51medicine,
  • 03:52thirty five, forty years ago
  • 03:53in in Mexico, but that's
  • 03:55how it's taught in many
  • 03:56parts most parts of the
  • 03:57world.
  • 03:58An alternative model and what
  • 04:00we want to
  • 04:01get to is a much
  • 04:02more
  • 04:03interactive fluid,
  • 04:06model in which the arrows
  • 04:07are not just between orange
  • 04:09man and blue man,
  • 04:10but between blue people and
  • 04:12all sorts of,
  • 04:14interactions that become not
  • 04:17summative but exponentially,
  • 04:19additive in some way, not
  • 04:21to mention challenging
  • 04:22and fun.
  • 04:26In,
  • 04:27this manuscript,
  • 04:29Burgess and colleagues wrote
  • 04:31the key tasks that we
  • 04:33need to be aware of
  • 04:34as facilitators
  • 04:35of a small group.
  • 04:37And it's, of course, to
  • 04:39manage the learning, to manage
  • 04:41the content,
  • 04:42to manage whatever
  • 04:44activities
  • 04:45we we have. And the
  • 04:46more
  • 04:47active that we are, the
  • 04:48more workshop y and less
  • 04:50lecture y that we are,
  • 04:51the more of these that
  • 04:52we have. And, certainly, we
  • 04:54need to manage the group.
  • 04:57In,
  • 04:58recent times, we also have
  • 05:00this additional thing, which is
  • 05:01we need to manage the
  • 05:03technology.
  • 05:04Much of the teaching that
  • 05:06we do uses one or
  • 05:07several technologies.
  • 05:09When they work, they are
  • 05:11absolutely marvelous.
  • 05:13But, for some of you
  • 05:14who may have joined me
  • 05:15a couple of weeks ago,
  • 05:17technology can just
  • 05:19be very bad and kinda
  • 05:21blow up in your face
  • 05:21at the minute that you
  • 05:23least expected, and you need
  • 05:25to have some backup plan.
  • 05:27So I think that these
  • 05:27are the four key roles,
  • 05:30that as a facilitator
  • 05:31of a small group, you,
  • 05:33can look forward to having
  • 05:34or have had.
  • 05:39One of the ways of
  • 05:40engaging learners traditionally has been
  • 05:43thought about in this three
  • 05:45p model of,
  • 05:46post where you pose a
  • 05:48question to the whole group
  • 05:49or to the subgroups.
  • 05:52You pause and allow
  • 05:54time for thinking. During this
  • 05:56time, you can give,
  • 05:58additional materials that the students
  • 06:00and the learners can consult
  • 06:02in before you pounce, before
  • 06:04you select someone by name.
  • 06:07Now I have a little
  • 06:08bit of trouble with the
  • 06:08pouncing, and, I don't think
  • 06:10it's very,
  • 06:12Yale friendly. It it sounds
  • 06:13like a lion pouncing on
  • 06:15on its prey, and it's,
  • 06:17name calling. It's just not
  • 06:19the best. So I've I've
  • 06:20changed that for play,
  • 06:22that you wanna remain
  • 06:24playful. You wanna be reading
  • 06:26the lessons of the
  • 06:28group, the nonverbal
  • 06:29signs, and that they're sending
  • 06:30you to see how best
  • 06:32to engage them
  • 06:33rather than pointing your very
  • 06:35scary finger at them and
  • 06:37giving them a grade, and
  • 06:38that's not so user friendly.
  • 06:43One example
  • 06:44of small,
  • 06:46group teaching that some of
  • 06:48you, perhaps all of you
  • 06:49are familiar with, is team
  • 06:51based learning, TBL.
  • 06:54Now TBL,
  • 06:55the term is used and
  • 06:57misused and overused all the
  • 06:59time, so we've kinda lost
  • 07:01track of what it really
  • 07:02originally meant. And this is
  • 07:04a reminder that
  • 07:06in a TVL,
  • 07:07there's an obligatory
  • 07:09preparation,
  • 07:11pre class individual study.
  • 07:15Then during this busy part,
  • 07:19the things to,
  • 07:21look at are the first
  • 07:23number two and three. So
  • 07:24the individual test and the
  • 07:25team test. So in the
  • 07:26individual test, after some prep,
  • 07:29posting of questions, you ask
  • 07:30a question that is filled
  • 07:32in individually
  • 07:33either on a piece of
  • 07:34paper or on these cards
  • 07:36that we used to have,
  • 07:36or you can do it
  • 07:37through one of the technologies
  • 07:38that we'll talk about. But
  • 07:40the key thing is that
  • 07:41the answers are given by
  • 07:42individual students.
  • 07:44Then the students come back,
  • 07:46discuss
  • 07:47what they did, what they
  • 07:48didn't do, what they thought,
  • 07:50and they enter communally and
  • 07:51answer the five or four
  • 07:53or six of them
  • 07:54as a team test.
  • 07:57And what you wanna see
  • 07:58and what you usually see
  • 07:59is that
  • 08:01grade go up, how many
  • 08:03they got right once they
  • 08:04collaborated.
  • 08:06It's a fun and engaging
  • 08:08way,
  • 08:09that very concretely shows the
  • 08:11value of collaboration.
  • 08:13And then there's
  • 08:15the the feedback from the
  • 08:16instructor.
  • 08:21The key thing also in
  • 08:22TBL
  • 08:24is that
  • 08:25later after what really was
  • 08:27just the the readiness making,
  • 08:29there's an application
  • 08:31that is done as a
  • 08:32class
  • 08:33where,
  • 08:34questions that are more clinically
  • 08:36sophisticated and complicated are posed.
  • 08:39Those questions,
  • 08:40I'm here in in, number
  • 08:42six. Those questions are typically
  • 08:44vague. They don't in in
  • 08:45that they don't have a
  • 08:46black and white yes or
  • 08:47no answer, but any number
  • 08:49of answers could be right.
  • 08:50And the idea is to
  • 08:51foster each group's thinking.
  • 08:53So this is a a
  • 08:54TBL.
  • 08:56If we were to
  • 08:57summarize this mathematically, this is
  • 09:00the formula, and I think
  • 09:01it's a good formula for
  • 09:02us to think about
  • 09:04in the context of today's
  • 09:05topic, that individual
  • 09:07work,
  • 09:08multiplied by small group discussion
  • 09:10and
  • 09:11multiplied or exponentiated
  • 09:13by total class discussion
  • 09:15has a tremendous impact on
  • 09:16learning as opposed to getting
  • 09:18stuck on that first bubble,
  • 09:20which is what most, classic,
  • 09:22teaching usually does.
  • 09:26So with with those concepts
  • 09:29and with those models in
  • 09:30mind, we're not gonna do
  • 09:31any one of those exactly,
  • 09:33but we're gonna do a
  • 09:34variation of it. And I'm
  • 09:35gonna do it in an
  • 09:36experiential
  • 09:37manner
  • 09:38such that let's just think
  • 09:40that you're coming into your
  • 09:41mock board exam.
  • 09:44In this mock board exam
  • 09:45that I'm gonna be giving
  • 09:46you,
  • 09:47you will be a generalist.
  • 09:49You're not a expert or
  • 09:50a specialist in any given
  • 09:52area. That's fine.
  • 09:54It doesn't matter what level
  • 09:55of training you're in or
  • 09:57how senior or junior you
  • 09:58are,
  • 09:59and you're gonna be assessed
  • 10:01really self assessed for,
  • 10:03breadth and clinical relevance.
  • 10:06And you are in luck
  • 10:08as, in today's agenda, we
  • 10:10have,
  • 10:11I'm a psychiatrist,
  • 10:12a refresher on some psychiatric
  • 10:14diagnoses and treatments.
  • 10:16K? So we're gonna
  • 10:18review some stuff that,
  • 10:20you know, let let's see
  • 10:21how you guys do.
  • 10:24So I'm gonna ask you
  • 10:25to get your
  • 10:27smartphone and point your camera
  • 10:30to this QR code. You
  • 10:31only need need to do
  • 10:32that once,
  • 10:34and it'll take you
  • 10:47Dana, let me just ask.
  • 10:49Are you, seeing the the
  • 10:50screen? Yep. It's good. Okay.
  • 10:53Good. So I see that
  • 10:54one person has already
  • 10:56voted. That's terrific.
  • 10:58If you hadn't gotten the
  • 10:59QR code on the first
  • 11:00row around go around,
  • 11:02it's up there on the
  • 11:03right.
  • 11:04But, you need to vote.
  • 11:05There's only one voter so
  • 11:06far. So You can skip
  • 11:08just push skip if that's
  • 11:09kinda There we go. Perfect.
  • 11:10Oh, thank you for the
  • 11:11reminder. Yeah. You can skip.
  • 11:12No problem.
  • 11:28That one is not showing
  • 11:29the results for whatever reason.
  • 11:30Wait. What what happened? Hold
  • 11:32on.
  • 11:34Uh-oh.
  • 11:36Hold on.
  • 11:39Okay. Only seven of you
  • 11:41voted?
  • 11:42Come on, people. You're strong
  • 11:43voters.
  • 11:45Eight.
  • 11:47Let's crack at least ten.
  • 11:48I'm at nine.
  • 11:52Your votes count
  • 11:53here. Your that's right. Your
  • 11:55votes count here. Come on.
  • 11:57One more person. Is anyone
  • 11:59having difficulty logging on?
  • 12:02Because we're gonna be using
  • 12:03this several times, and, we
  • 12:05really wanna hear from you.
  • 12:06So if you're having
  • 12:07difficulty, just,
  • 12:09please let me know. You
  • 12:10can I touched I I
  • 12:12voted, but it didn't seem
  • 12:13to move?
  • 12:15I don't know if you
  • 12:16got mine.
  • 12:19I'm sure that it did.
  • 12:20If you voted, it's it's
  • 12:21there. It turned blue when
  • 12:23I touched it. Yeah. It
  • 12:24it did. Yep. He just
  • 12:25hasn't shown the results, but
  • 12:26it probably did. Yeah. Yeah.
  • 12:27Yeah. So so let me
  • 12:28so let's show the results
  • 12:29now.
  • 12:31Can you see it, Dana?
  • 12:32Yep. Yep. Okay. So that's
  • 12:34good. Alright.
  • 12:36So, not surprisingly,
  • 12:39most of you have,
  • 12:40minimal or some basic knowledge
  • 12:42of psychiatrists. Most of you
  • 12:43are not psychiatrists, so that's
  • 12:45that's great.
  • 12:47A couple of you feel
  • 12:48comfortable enough,
  • 12:50because it's not your main
  • 12:51area of work. So this
  • 12:53is a little bit what
  • 12:54I expected and hoped for.
  • 12:56You know, I would be
  • 12:56very nervous if all of
  • 12:57you were professional psychiatrists, and
  • 12:59it would be less interesting.
  • 13:02Okay.
  • 13:04So let's start with a
  • 13:06micro lecture,
  • 13:07to remind you that depression
  • 13:09is a very common disorder.
  • 13:11It's a hidden burden.
  • 13:13Some of the key facts
  • 13:15to know is that at
  • 13:16least two two hundred and
  • 13:17fifty million people live with
  • 13:19depression worldwide,
  • 13:21and it is the leading
  • 13:22cause of disability
  • 13:24worldwide more so than, any
  • 13:26physical illness, which is remarkable.
  • 13:29But it remains hidden, not
  • 13:30treated, not talked about, stigmatized.
  • 13:34Depression often starts at a
  • 13:35young age and predominantly affects
  • 13:37women and women of childbearing
  • 13:39age,
  • 13:41which leads to a secondary
  • 13:43condition called
  • 13:44postpartum depression or perinatal depression
  • 13:46in which
  • 13:48mothers are not the only
  • 13:49ones who are affected, but
  • 13:50their child as well.
  • 13:52And at least one million
  • 13:54people take their lives each
  • 13:56year.
  • 13:57So,
  • 13:58this is just to put
  • 13:59into context what we're talking
  • 14:01about. It's a major public
  • 14:02health problem.
  • 14:04What I'm gonna do now
  • 14:05is show you a video
  • 14:07that's about a minute and
  • 14:08a half long or thereabouts.
  • 14:11And I want you to
  • 14:13pay attention to some of
  • 14:14the symptoms and the signs
  • 14:17elicited here.
  • 14:19And I want you to
  • 14:20be intentional about it because
  • 14:21I'm gonna be asking about
  • 14:23it, in in a minute
  • 14:24to make this exercise all
  • 14:25the more,
  • 14:27useful.
  • 14:28So take a look at
  • 14:29what she says, what she
  • 14:30does, what she appears like,
  • 14:32what her daughter,
  • 14:33shares with us. So here
  • 14:35we go.
  • 14:40There's no sound.
  • 14:43There's no sound.
  • 14:45Hold on. Thank you.
  • 14:47You can never
  • 14:49be too careful with these
  • 14:50things.
  • 14:51Yeah. Yeah. To click that
  • 14:52box, it says share.
  • 14:54Yeah. Yeah.
  • 14:56Share.
  • 15:00It's not letting me share,
  • 15:02Ed.
  • 15:03I think, Andres, you have
  • 15:05to unshare
  • 15:06and then reshare. Oh, yeah.
  • 15:08Got it. Got it. Got
  • 15:09it. Yeah. Perfect. Thank you.
  • 15:12That is my wing wingman
  • 15:13wingwoman.
  • 15:18Hold
  • 15:19on. Hold

  • 15:26Share.
  • 15:31I think that I got
  • 15:33it now.
  • 15:35UCL, if that's not the
  • 15:36case.
  • 15:43I I've had depression Good.
  • 15:45On and off my whole
  • 15:46life,
  • 15:48but I've I've never had
  • 15:49anything like this.
  • 15:51This is worse than anything.
  • 15:53This is the worst that
  • 15:54I've seen her in my
  • 15:56entire life, and
  • 15:58I'm honestly really scared by
  • 16:00it.
  • 16:02I yeah. It's terrifying me
  • 16:05to be completely honest. Depression
  • 16:07can look like a lot
  • 16:08of different things for different
  • 16:09people. Can you maybe describe
  • 16:10to me what your depression
  • 16:12has looked like recently?
  • 16:15I just
  • 16:16don't have any energy, no
  • 16:18energy to do anything. I
  • 16:20just wanna
  • 16:22I I wanna sleep, but
  • 16:24I can't sleep.
  • 16:27I I every time I
  • 16:29come over to come see
  • 16:29her, I I'm there every
  • 16:31day now because
  • 16:33she just doesn't
  • 16:34have the energy to get
  • 16:35out of bed or to
  • 16:37take care of her cat,
  • 16:38or she used to,
  • 16:40help me with my sons,
  • 16:42help them pick them up
  • 16:43from day care and from
  • 16:44school, and she just doesn't
  • 16:45have the energy to leave
  • 16:47her apartment anymore.
  • 16:49Are you able to do
  • 16:50things like pay your bills
  • 16:53on time? No. I help
  • 16:54her with that. Okay. And
  • 16:56has that always been the
  • 16:57case? No. No. That's been
  • 16:59recently. Okay. How about things
  • 17:01as simple as getting out
  • 17:02of bed to brush her
  • 17:03teeth, take a shower in
  • 17:04the morning?
  • 17:05I mean, eventually.
  • 17:08Have there been days this
  • 17:09week, for example, that you
  • 17:10were unable to do any
  • 17:11of those things?
  • 17:13I had to call her
  • 17:14and remind her.
  • 17:16Okay. I'm hearing low energy,
  • 17:19sleep is not great,
  • 17:21difficulty falling asleep.
  • 17:25Difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying
  • 17:28asleep.
  • 17:29Waking up in the morning
  • 17:31earlier than usual.
  • 17:34I I don't wanna get
  • 17:34out of bed. I
  • 17:36I wake up.
  • 17:39Have you been feeling sad?
  • 17:45I
  • 17:47I don't know if I
  • 17:47can even really, like, describe
  • 17:50exactly how I feel.
  • 17:52How about numb?
  • 17:55Does that sound right? You
  • 17:57mean numb?
  • 17:58She's like, she doesn't
  • 18:00I I don't wanna say
  • 18:01care, but that's probably
  • 18:04the best word I can
  • 18:05find.
  • 18:11Okay.
  • 18:14Oops.
  • 18:16So
  • 18:17what what we're gonna do
  • 18:18next is reflect on depression.
  • 18:20That's the illness that we're
  • 18:23looking at and learning about.
  • 18:25And we're gonna start thinking
  • 18:26about symptoms, causes,
  • 18:28and labs in in a
  • 18:30first
  • 18:32pass, and then we're gonna
  • 18:33think about treatments.
  • 18:35So
  • 18:36for the first one, in
  • 18:37terms of depression,
  • 18:40can you,
  • 18:41you know, go again
  • 18:42to your screen?
  • 18:44And
  • 18:45you can put in as
  • 18:46many
  • 18:48different words or short phrases
  • 18:50as you want.
  • 18:56And, hopefully, everybody
  • 19:00is able to do
  • 19:01it now without a problem.
  • 19:03I'm gonna do this so
  • 19:04that you don't yet see
  • 19:05the results. Let's just give
  • 19:07you
  • 19:08a few seconds. I see
  • 19:09two of you have responded.
  • 19:11Please. Please.
  • 19:13More. That's great.
  • 19:15It,
  • 19:16it's it it allow it
  • 19:18did not allow me to
  • 19:19advance, so it seems as
  • 19:20though I have to scan
  • 19:21again
  • 19:22because it's
  • 19:23okay. Yep. Yep.
  • 19:25Right. You can enter as
  • 19:26many as you want. Yeah.
  • 19:49Okay. So
  • 19:51it's good. We have fifteen
  • 19:53eighteen responses. That's great.
  • 19:55Let's see what you guys,
  • 19:57thought.
  • 20:00Okay. Or the fifteen responses.
  • 20:02Oh, there we go.
  • 20:15And as you look at
  • 20:16them scrolling down, think if,
  • 20:19some of them surprise you
  • 20:21or not.
  • 21:14Right.
  • 21:15So it sounds that the
  • 21:17group saw the two that
  • 21:19I see coming down,
  • 21:21a lot
  • 21:22are,
  • 21:23energy and sleep.
  • 21:25Those seem to be, pretty
  • 21:27big ones.
  • 21:29There's one that I actually
  • 21:30didn't
  • 21:31quite
  • 21:32see.
  • 21:33Although it's right. She didn't
  • 21:35what would be a pertinent
  • 21:36negative? That's a way of
  • 21:37of asking it. What what
  • 21:39relevant things in depression
  • 21:41did she
  • 21:42not show?
  • 21:44And I think that the
  • 21:44big big one is suicidality,
  • 21:47suicide related thinking. You know,
  • 21:48there was none of that,
  • 21:49so so that's good. But
  • 21:51I think that all your
  • 21:52observations were good.
  • 21:53Does anyone know, by the
  • 21:55way, what this,
  • 21:56acronym, SIGICAPS,
  • 21:58means?
  • 22:01I know part of it.
  • 22:03Say that again? I know
  • 22:05part of it.
  • 22:06Ah, okay.
  • 22:08Sleep s is sleep. Yeah.
  • 22:11E is energy.
  • 22:13Yeah. C is concentration.
  • 22:15Yeah.
  • 22:16S is suicide.
  • 22:18Yeah.
  • 22:19Not sure about the others.
  • 22:21I I thought I might
  • 22:22be insomnia, but that's sleep.
  • 22:24Right. No. You you you
  • 22:26did great. So the I,
  • 22:29refers to interests, change of
  • 22:31interests. Yeah.
  • 22:32And the a is appetite
  • 22:34dash weight,
  • 22:36and the p is psychomotor
  • 22:38retardation
  • 22:39or agitation. So
  • 22:41excellent. So John and Candela
  • 22:43wins,
  • 22:45wins extra points.
  • 22:48Terrific.
  • 22:49Okay. So let's keep on
  • 22:51going here.
  • 22:53Oops.
  • 22:56Oh, there you go. So
  • 22:58it's a silly mnemonic that
  • 22:59we use, SIGI caps,
  • 23:01that if it's helpful
  • 23:02to you, the idea is
  • 23:04SIG as in a prescription,
  • 23:07sig, e as in vitamin,
  • 23:08e capsules, so prescribed
  • 23:10e capsules. Not that that's
  • 23:12what we use for to
  • 23:13treat depression, but it's a
  • 23:14helpful,
  • 23:16acronym that, John nailed for
  • 23:18us here.
  • 23:19So that's as a general
  • 23:21physician,
  • 23:22probably a good thing for
  • 23:23you to know that in
  • 23:24addition to low mood that
  • 23:26goes for at least two
  • 23:27weeks,
  • 23:28a combination of these symptoms,
  • 23:30typically
  • 23:30five symptoms, is major depression.
  • 23:34Now
  • 23:35unless you get, sad or
  • 23:37or depressed or deflated
  • 23:38about, what we've covered so
  • 23:40far, the good news is
  • 23:41that depression is a, highly
  • 23:44treatable disorder
  • 23:46and that, getting help
  • 23:48can really,
  • 23:50lead to major changes.
  • 23:52But,
  • 23:52health is very
  • 23:55distributed unequally across the globe.
  • 23:57It's very available in some
  • 23:58areas and not at all
  • 23:59in large parts of the
  • 24:01globe.
  • 24:03So
  • 24:04let now reflect a little
  • 24:05bit on treatments.
  • 24:08And
  • 24:10let let's start with this
  • 24:11question. You're again, you're a
  • 24:13doctor. You're an intern. You're
  • 24:14a resident. You're admitting a
  • 24:15patient.
  • 24:16Which lab abnormality
  • 24:18is most commonly associated with
  • 24:20major depression? If you were
  • 24:21if you were gonna pick
  • 24:22one
  • 24:23to test, which which which
  • 24:25one would you test?
  • 24:51Linda and Sarah and Ed,
  • 24:53are you voting?
  • 24:55Come on. I'm going to
  • 24:56the poll to make sure
  • 24:57you're voting.
  • 25:02K. So
  • 25:05let's go and see the
  • 25:07results. Would you
  • 25:08oh, this is a group.
  • 25:15Okay.
  • 25:18And this is what you
  • 25:19responded. So
  • 25:21most of you responded TSH,
  • 25:23thyroid hormone,
  • 25:25and you are correct. It's
  • 25:27the
  • 25:28the the most likely, you
  • 25:30know, not super commonly associated,
  • 25:32but
  • 25:33commonly enough associated. So sixty
  • 25:35percent of you thought thyroid
  • 25:37stimulating hormones, so that's great.
  • 25:39And certainly in a lady
  • 25:41of that age, you would
  • 25:42be thinking
  • 25:43strongly about TSH. She also
  • 25:45looks quite
  • 25:46quite small.
  • 25:48I would be interested in,
  • 25:50has she lost or gained
  • 25:51weight or gained weight, etcetera.
  • 25:53So TSH. So that's good.
  • 25:56So the other ones are
  • 25:58interesting.
  • 25:59So no one wanted porphyrin.
  • 26:01You break my heart.
  • 26:03You're right. It's put there
  • 26:04exclusively for Zebra reasons. You
  • 26:06know? It's like that thing
  • 26:08they say, go check for
  • 26:08porphyrin. It's never positive. But
  • 26:11there you have it. King
  • 26:12George had a porphyrin problem,
  • 26:14so that's at least one
  • 26:15person who I know had
  • 26:16a porphyrin problem, but it
  • 26:17never happens.
  • 26:20H and H would be
  • 26:22probably my second
  • 26:24guess.
  • 26:26You know, chronic low grade
  • 26:29anemia can lead to this,
  • 26:30so it's not unreasonable.
  • 26:33And certainly b twelve deficiency,
  • 26:35not very common, but it
  • 26:37can definitely lead to depression.
  • 26:39It's highly treatable.
  • 26:41It's something we don't think
  • 26:42about very often.
  • 26:44And then there was
  • 26:45one of you who thought
  • 26:47VDRL.
  • 26:50If do you feel comfortable
  • 26:51speaking up,
  • 26:54whomever chose DVRL? If not,
  • 26:56I'm happy to.
  • 27:02Okay. That's fine.
  • 27:03So it's, you know, it's
  • 27:05highly, highly, highly, highly unlikely,
  • 27:07but it's not an impossible
  • 27:08thing. And I put it
  • 27:09there
  • 27:10for a didactic purpose.
  • 27:12Doctor Dunn,
  • 27:14can I ask you a
  • 27:15question a medical question?
  • 27:18Yeah. Especially if it has
  • 27:19to do with VDRL.
  • 27:21Exactly. So what was what
  • 27:22was the leading
  • 27:24cause of,
  • 27:26major
  • 27:27mental illness requiring
  • 27:29hospitalization
  • 27:30often for a lifetime
  • 27:32in the nineteenth to eighteenth
  • 27:34centuries?
  • 27:35Yeah. In the pre antibiotic
  • 27:36era, it was syphilis.
  • 27:39Exactly.
  • 27:40So in the pre antibiotic
  • 27:41era, psychiatry was really,
  • 27:44kind of the same specialty
  • 27:46that that doctor Don does,
  • 27:47which is venereal diseases and
  • 27:49syphilis in particular.
  • 27:51With the advent of antibiotics,
  • 27:53not only do we not
  • 27:54have those conditions,
  • 27:56they're extraordinarily
  • 27:57rare,
  • 27:59but,
  • 28:04But but they led not
  • 28:05only to the elimination of
  • 28:07the disorders, but they led
  • 28:08to the elimination of something
  • 28:09else,
  • 28:10which is are you ready
  • 28:11for part two for credit,
  • 28:13doctor Dunn?
  • 28:15Okay. Hit me.
  • 28:17So in Middletown, Connecticut, there's
  • 28:19a humongous hospital
  • 28:21that is half fallen to
  • 28:23the ground and covered by
  • 28:24ivy leaves, and it's like
  • 28:26a mess. It looks like
  • 28:27something out of Edgar Allan
  • 28:28Poe. Name that hospital.
  • 28:33Correct. Connecticut Valley Hospital.
  • 28:35Well, that's
  • 28:36So c So
  • 28:38Yeah. So CDH was the
  • 28:40largest,
  • 28:41psychiatric hospital in the state,
  • 28:44and it housed the kind
  • 28:45of, individuals we're talking about
  • 28:47with,
  • 28:48tertiary syphilis.
  • 28:50Once the antibiotic era came
  • 28:52up on board, the hospital
  • 28:53was emptied essentially, and that
  • 28:55happened across the country.
  • 28:57So, again, even though VDRL
  • 28:59is highly unlikely to read
  • 29:01lead to depression, I inserted
  • 29:03that there as a little
  • 29:04historical tidbit,
  • 29:06for us to be grateful
  • 29:07for antibiotics and the doctors
  • 29:09like doctor Dunne who prescribed
  • 29:10them.
  • 29:13Okay.
  • 29:14Now let's
  • 29:15keeping on treatments,
  • 29:20go ahead and name any
  • 29:21antidepressant treatment that you can
  • 29:23think of. It and it
  • 29:24it it can certainly be
  • 29:25a a medication, but, don't
  • 29:27feel like
  • 29:29it has to be.
  • 30:39Okay. So
  • 30:40this is great. Let me
  • 30:42pause it here.
  • 30:46And
  • 30:48I think that the,
  • 30:50oh, good. We have some
  • 30:52late entries,
  • 30:53that I really like that
  • 30:54are nonmedications.
  • 30:55So
  • 30:56exercise,
  • 30:57light,
  • 30:58various types of therapy.
  • 31:00Terrific.
  • 31:01And then we see several
  • 31:02different types of,
  • 31:05chocolate. Thank you very much.
  • 31:06Helps me.
  • 31:09And several different types of
  • 31:10medication.
  • 31:13Oh, I had missed this,
  • 31:14but I'm very glad to
  • 31:15see that someone mentioned ECT,
  • 31:18because that usually is one
  • 31:20that is missing. So I
  • 31:21think that, collectively, you you
  • 31:23addressed many of the common
  • 31:25ones.
  • 31:28But let's speaking of ECT,
  • 31:30electroconvulsive
  • 31:31treatment or what has been
  • 31:33called
  • 31:34electroshock or shock therapy,
  • 31:36what are your thoughts,
  • 31:38and and feelings? You know?
  • 31:40This is a safe space.
  • 31:41You can tell us your
  • 31:42your feelings
  • 31:43about,
  • 31:44ECT.
  • 32:52Okay. Let me
  • 32:54lock it here.
  • 32:56So
  • 32:57I think that, you know,
  • 32:59just getting a group temperature,
  • 33:01we see,
  • 33:02if I'm so bold,
  • 33:04to see that probably
  • 33:07there's more negative than positive
  • 33:09views here.
  • 33:11And,
  • 33:13stigmatized, misunderstood,
  • 33:15brutal,
  • 33:18dangerous,
  • 33:21harsh,
  • 33:23extreme, unproven,
  • 33:25scary,
  • 33:26unavailable.
  • 33:27It's not all negative.
  • 33:29It it looks like, the
  • 33:30second most common word is
  • 33:32effective, which which is great.
  • 33:34But I think what I'm
  • 33:35showing here is an X-ray,
  • 33:37if you will, of how
  • 33:39you all we all as
  • 33:40a group are feeling about
  • 33:41this
  • 33:42intervention.
  • 33:44So let's just keep that
  • 33:45in the back of our
  • 33:46minds.
  • 33:50And I would assume that
  • 33:52few of you have actually
  • 33:54seen what ECT looks like
  • 33:56and probably
  • 33:57have,
  • 34:00an impression of it based
  • 34:01on some media. The most
  • 34:03common media is one flew
  • 34:05over the cuckoo's nest.
  • 34:07But whether you have seen
  • 34:09it or not, I'm gonna
  • 34:09show you a one minute
  • 34:10of ECT.
  • 34:12I don't really need to
  • 34:13give you an advisory warning.
  • 34:14You're not gonna see anything
  • 34:16awful.
  • 34:17You're gonna be seeing what
  • 34:18ECT looks like.
  • 34:20This is done in the
  • 34:21simulation
  • 34:22center, and,
  • 34:25the doctor on the left
  • 34:26is a real interventional psychiatrist.
  • 34:29The nurse is a nurse
  • 34:30who works at the the
  • 34:32ECT center here,
  • 34:34and the doctor on the
  • 34:35right is, an anesthesiologist.
  • 34:37So the three of them
  • 34:37are very much real.
  • 34:39The ECT machine and everything
  • 34:41else is real. The only
  • 34:42thing that is not real
  • 34:43here is the patient who
  • 34:45is a simulated actor
  • 34:47who we worked,
  • 34:49for a long time, including
  • 34:50having her come to ECT
  • 34:51to see what it looks
  • 34:52like.
  • 34:53So what you're gonna be
  • 34:54seeing is really as real
  • 34:56as real gets in ECT.
  • 34:59Keep your eyes on it
  • 35:00and see if any questions
  • 35:02come up.
  • 35:04I would hope that they
  • 35:05do,
  • 35:06and let's see. Here we
  • 35:07go.
  • 35:08I'm ready.
  • 35:10Green light. It's been about
  • 35:11ninety seconds. Treat. Okay. Delivering
  • 35:14the stimulus.
  • 35:54Okay.
  • 35:56Looks like the convulsions have
  • 35:57ended, but she's still seizing.
  • 35:59Alright.
  • 36:03And the seizure has stopped.
  • 36:09Any any thoughts? Any questions?
  • 36:17Let me then share just
  • 36:18a couple of things that,
  • 36:20I think were worth noticing.
  • 36:22One is that
  • 36:24the procedure is, if anything,
  • 36:26I would say anticlimactic.
  • 36:28You know, there's not a
  • 36:29lot going on. There's minimal,
  • 36:31shaking.
  • 36:33Patient is partially paralyzed,
  • 36:36number one.
  • 36:38Number two, the intervention is
  • 36:39very, very brief as you
  • 36:41saw from the tracing.
  • 36:43Here it was, I I
  • 36:44think, twenty something seconds.
  • 36:47Three, the patient is not
  • 36:48intubated. There's an ambu bag
  • 36:50to provide some extra support,
  • 36:52but the patient can breathe
  • 36:54and is not fully paralyzed
  • 36:56as I said.
  • 36:58And,
  • 37:01yes, the maybe the the
  • 37:03fourth point is that the
  • 37:04only visible experience that she
  • 37:06is undergoing a tonic clonic
  • 37:08seizure is in her toes.
  • 37:09That's where we see,
  • 37:11that that she is having
  • 37:12a seizure. So it's kind
  • 37:13of a boring
  • 37:14video, but a very realistic
  • 37:16video.
  • 37:24So let me ask again,
  • 37:26is there anything that,
  • 37:28may have surprised you or,
  • 37:30anything that you wanna ask?
  • 37:36A question that I had
  • 37:37when I first saw this
  • 37:39was why weren't the nurse
  • 37:41and the doctor getting electrocuted?
  • 37:44Why were you know? Because
  • 37:46we have the
  • 37:47emergency
  • 37:48room shows where everybody clear
  • 37:50and put your hands away.
  • 37:52That doesn't happen.
  • 37:54That doesn't happen. And including
  • 37:56because the voltage used is
  • 37:59quite small. That's one of
  • 38:01the reasons. There's other physical
  • 38:02reasons why. But, the patient
  • 38:04can be held without a
  • 38:05problem. There's no
  • 38:06conduct
  • 38:07conductance
  • 38:09of,
  • 38:10at the at at the
  • 38:11time.
  • 38:15Let me go back to
  • 38:16my screen.
  • 38:38Okay.
  • 38:39So,
  • 38:40and just a con consolidation
  • 38:42of what we went through
  • 38:43in the micro review of
  • 38:45ECT, if you will,
  • 38:47It was a very first
  • 38:48effective antidepressant treatment to be
  • 38:49discovered back in the twenties.
  • 38:53It is extremely safe.
  • 38:56It,
  • 38:58there are very few counterindications
  • 39:00to ECT. The only one
  • 39:01that's an absolute contraindication
  • 39:04is having an intraventricular
  • 39:06shunt or lesion or something
  • 39:07like that.
  • 39:09It has very rapid onset.
  • 39:11We typically give it three
  • 39:12times a week for the
  • 39:13first week and then every,
  • 39:15twice a week for the
  • 39:16next couple of weeks. And
  • 39:18usually within two or three
  • 39:19treatments, we see an effect.
  • 39:20So within a week, week
  • 39:21and a half, which is
  • 39:23significantly
  • 39:23faster than antidepressants,
  • 39:25which typically take four to
  • 39:26six weeks.
  • 39:28It's a treatment of choice
  • 39:29for depression with psychotic feature,
  • 39:30very severe depression.
  • 39:34And it is,
  • 39:37also a treatment of choice
  • 39:39for,
  • 39:40pregnancy.
  • 39:41If we have a patient
  • 39:43with severe depression or some
  • 39:44other psychiatric reasons,
  • 39:47symptoms,
  • 39:48ECT is very safe.
  • 39:51Stimuli are delivered either unilaterally
  • 39:53or bilaterally. Usually, we start
  • 39:54with unilateral nondominant, but it
  • 39:56can also be bilateral. So
  • 39:58those are some of the
  • 39:58facts that you need to
  • 39:59know.
  • 40:01Let me ask you now,
  • 40:03to go back, and this
  • 40:04will look very familiar.
  • 40:06What are your
  • 40:08what are your thoughts? What
  • 40:09are your feelings about,
  • 40:11ECT?
  • 40:14Let's take a moment with
  • 40:15that.
  • 40:22The version that's showing is
  • 40:24the one that doesn't show
  • 40:26Yes. Correct.
  • 40:27Correct. You should be able
  • 40:29to see
  • 40:30what are your thoughts and
  • 40:31our feelings.
  • 40:32Yep. But they're like, the
  • 40:33QR code is not there
  • 40:34anymore. It's not the check
  • 40:35marks of how many are
  • 40:36coming in. Right. Okay.
  • 40:39Yep. Yep.
  • 41:30Okay. So
  • 41:32let's see,
  • 41:33what you thought.
  • 41:38Alright. So let
  • 41:40me let's read the the
  • 41:41more negative we valence ones.
  • 41:44So we don't we
  • 41:45don't receive results just to
  • 41:47let you know. Oh, oh,
  • 41:47oh, oh, I'm sorry about
  • 41:49that.
  • 41:50What about now? I think
  • 41:51I have to read them
  • 41:52if it went off if
  • 41:53something went haywire, but that's
  • 41:55fine.
  • 41:56Oh,
  • 41:57that's
  • 41:59that's too bad.
  • 42:01Let me see if I,
  • 42:02stop share and share again,
  • 42:03whether it won't come back.
  • 42:04If not, I'll read them.
  • 42:24Nope.
  • 42:29Where did it go? Picture
  • 42:30of before and after, but
  • 42:31that might be something that
  • 42:32came from something that was
  • 42:34published.
  • 42:35Yeah. No. That's separate.
  • 42:37It says where we were.
  • 42:44Okay. I found it, and,
  • 42:45hopefully, now that I share
  • 42:46it, it'll show.
  • 42:51Share.
  • 43:04Can you see it now?
  • 43:07Yes.
  • 43:08Oh, good. Good. Good. Okay.
  • 43:09So let me start reading
  • 43:11the more negative valence words,
  • 43:12which are skeptical,
  • 43:19risk benefit unclear,
  • 43:21memory,
  • 43:28and that's it
  • 43:29because the rest of the
  • 43:30words are fairly positive.
  • 43:33Monitored, safe, helpful,
  • 43:35psychotic depression,
  • 43:40effective,
  • 43:43painless, manageable,
  • 43:45treat,
  • 43:46quick, evidence based,
  • 43:49etcetera. So this is the
  • 43:51snapshot of this
  • 43:54distinguished group of of you.
  • 43:57And let me show you
  • 43:58how you compare to a
  • 43:59group of two hundred or
  • 44:01something.
  • 44:02These were nursing students
  • 44:04in which we did something
  • 44:05similar.
  • 44:06And in this, the,
  • 44:09the
  • 44:11blue tones are positively valence
  • 44:14words, very few of them.
  • 44:18The warm colors are negatively
  • 44:21valence terms,
  • 44:22outdated, etcetera.
  • 44:23And the gray terms are
  • 44:25factual.
  • 44:26So it's it's a pretty
  • 44:28negative.
  • 44:29And then we have
  • 44:31after,
  • 44:32you know, the the colors
  • 44:33change. There's more blue, but,
  • 44:35importantly, there's much more gray.
  • 44:37There's much more
  • 44:38factual basis.
  • 44:40And what we did here
  • 44:41was a variation of extensive
  • 44:43variation of what we did
  • 44:44here
  • 44:45using education
  • 44:46to these students on what
  • 44:47ECT was and really changing
  • 44:50views that were at times
  • 44:51quite quite negative.
  • 44:55We did it working with
  • 44:57with YSN, working with, nurses
  • 45:00in in that school.
  • 45:03And we did it,
  • 45:04through
  • 45:05a video based educational resource.
  • 45:07We have a whole range
  • 45:08of videos. The two videos
  • 45:09that you saw are part
  • 45:10of this. So how we
  • 45:12were able to change that
  • 45:15knowledge.
  • 45:17I think that this is
  • 45:18a meta moment in which
  • 45:19I'm sharing you
  • 45:21what an actual teaching group
  • 45:22did.
  • 45:24And if you were the
  • 45:24learners, we could have gone
  • 45:26from x to y. And
  • 45:28I'm,
  • 45:29showing how this could be
  • 45:31done as a and was
  • 45:32done
  • 45:33as a research intervention. So
  • 45:34in any
  • 45:36intervention that is stigmatized, I
  • 45:38think that it's a welcome
  • 45:39approach.
  • 45:41And this is, us,
  • 45:44taping it in my office.
  • 45:47Okay. So a couple of
  • 45:48further meta reflections, if you
  • 45:50will.
  • 45:52First, if we do
  • 45:54analysis of what it is
  • 45:55that we did in the
  • 45:56last forty or so minutes,
  • 45:58this is I consider a
  • 45:59helpful way of thinking about
  • 46:01it.
  • 46:02First, we define the learning
  • 46:03objectives. You got that, through
  • 46:05your
  • 46:06through the materials
  • 46:08ahead of time.
  • 46:10Then we kinda reflected. We
  • 46:12didn't share a whole lot.
  • 46:15The red labels
  • 46:16come from Steve Holt from
  • 46:18whom you're gonna be hearing
  • 46:19in the next session or
  • 46:20two,
  • 46:21and they're very much
  • 46:23informed by other terminology on
  • 46:25the literature, what's called forming.
  • 46:27You know, the the group
  • 46:28is coming in just
  • 46:30smelling things out. Is this
  • 46:32gonna be a friendly group
  • 46:33or not, etcetera?
  • 46:36Then as your instructor, I
  • 46:38needed to diagnose learners.
  • 46:41Were you on the same
  • 46:42page? Were you not? I
  • 46:43did it here through a
  • 46:45quick assessment of how much
  • 46:46do you know about depression
  • 46:47or psychiatry.
  • 46:49I'm trying to norm
  • 46:51to covary
  • 46:52to where you are at
  • 46:53as learners.
  • 46:55Perhaps the best part is,
  • 46:57creating struggle or what's called
  • 46:59storming. You want differences of
  • 47:01opinion
  • 47:01to come to the fourth
  • 47:03in a positive and constructive
  • 47:05way, but you want that
  • 47:06struggle. You want that stormy.
  • 47:07That is a good thing.
  • 47:10We didn't do breakout groups,
  • 47:13today,
  • 47:14just for the sake of
  • 47:15time, But you can imagine
  • 47:17that an exercise like this,
  • 47:18we could have gone into
  • 47:19small groups of two or
  • 47:21three. What did you see
  • 47:22about depression? What do you
  • 47:23think about ECT?
  • 47:25And have more of a
  • 47:26group response and a group
  • 47:27discussion. So this, we didn't
  • 47:28do today.
  • 47:31And we consolidate the learning,
  • 47:33which is what I'm doing
  • 47:34now and what what I
  • 47:35did with the summary
  • 47:37of what ECT is, etcetera.
  • 47:43So just the last thing
  • 47:44before we,
  • 47:45wrap wrap up,
  • 47:47it's unrelated, but
  • 47:48have, you had any challenges
  • 47:50using technology and teaching? Please
  • 47:52please let us know. Is
  • 47:53there a program that has
  • 47:54driven you crazy?
  • 47:56Is,
  • 47:57have you never used it?
  • 47:59Has it always been wonderful?
  • 48:01Anything that you wanna
  • 48:03share will be great.
  • 48:34Anyone else?
  • 49:05Okay.
  • 49:06So let's just
  • 49:07stop there. The the reason
  • 49:09why I asked you this
  • 49:10is, both personal and also
  • 49:12seeking,
  • 49:14I don't know,
  • 49:15seeking reassurance that the world
  • 49:17can be a better place
  • 49:18or something.
  • 49:20When I taught a couple
  • 49:21of weeks ago, I had
  • 49:22not one, not two, but
  • 49:23three
  • 49:24technologies
  • 49:25crash on me.
  • 49:27Zoom, Poll Everywhere, and Mentimeter.
  • 49:31So I was very, very,
  • 49:32very frustrated, and I thought
  • 49:33that I'd come back today
  • 49:34and just share one or
  • 49:35two little pointers of what
  • 49:37I have learned so that
  • 49:38it doesn't happen
  • 49:39to you.
  • 49:42So
  • 49:42the first one,
  • 49:45and this took a lot
  • 49:45of testing back and forth
  • 49:47is about Zoom.
  • 49:48So Zoom, as you may
  • 49:50know,
  • 49:51has a feature to do
  • 49:53polls,
  • 49:54and that would seem very
  • 49:55easy and very user friendly
  • 49:57to
  • 49:59do. And yet I had
  • 50:00created these beautiful polls, and
  • 50:01then they didn't show up.
  • 50:03And I couldn't figure it
  • 50:04out, and it was only
  • 50:05earlier today with, Ed who
  • 50:07is, there. Hell, hello, Ed.
  • 50:09Show you show your face.
  • 50:10We don't see you.
  • 50:12It was testing with Ed
  • 50:13that we realized that you
  • 50:14have to be the owner
  • 50:15of the Zoom
  • 50:17in order for the polls
  • 50:18to work.
  • 50:19You cannot co you know,
  • 50:21assign it to a co
  • 50:22facilitator or whatnot.
  • 50:24And and these polls can
  • 50:25be very helpful
  • 50:27because you can create them
  • 50:28on the fly
  • 50:29as you're giving the talk
  • 50:30if you you can insert
  • 50:31something.
  • 50:33But just be aware that
  • 50:34you need to be the
  • 50:35person doing it.
  • 50:37Just to give you
  • 50:39a sense, let me see
  • 50:42if I can show you
  • 50:43an old poll.
  • 50:46So
  • 50:48I just launched a poll.
  • 50:49It's not my poll. It's
  • 50:50not relevant to now, but
  • 50:52just, you know, click in
  • 50:53whatever thingy.
  • 50:59Only two there we go.
  • 51:00Okay. So
  • 51:02there you see you can
  • 51:03see the results there.
  • 51:05So the the good news
  • 51:06is that you can do
  • 51:07it very quickly on the
  • 51:09fly. But as I say,
  • 51:10you must do it only
  • 51:11if you own the Zoom,
  • 51:12Not even being a a
  • 51:14co facilitator
  • 51:15or co whatever,
  • 51:17helps.
  • 51:17So that was the first
  • 51:18pain point for me.
  • 51:20The second one
  • 51:26second one
  • 51:30The second one was,
  • 51:32Poll Everywhere.
  • 51:33And and this really hurt
  • 51:35because I have been using
  • 51:37Poll Everywhere for years, and
  • 51:38I have never had a
  • 51:39problem.
  • 51:40And then,
  • 51:41two weeks ago, everything just
  • 51:43fell apart.
  • 51:44So what did I learn,
  • 51:45and what do I want
  • 51:46to
  • 51:46remind you?
  • 51:48It's not enough to have
  • 51:49your slide deck
  • 51:51and to have your website
  • 51:52in order for Poll Everywhere
  • 51:54to work. You
  • 51:56have to have a third
  • 51:57component, which is the Poll
  • 51:59Everywhere app
  • 52:00that's very easy to to
  • 52:01download,
  • 52:03and you need to keep
  • 52:05it open while you present
  • 52:07because this Poll Everywhere
  • 52:10app is what's
  • 52:11what the link between the
  • 52:13web, where the questions are,
  • 52:15and your PowerPoint or whatever
  • 52:17application you're using.
  • 52:19So,
  • 52:20this is a relatively recent
  • 52:22change. As far as I
  • 52:23can tell, I didn't
  • 52:24have it last week, and
  • 52:25that's why things didn't work.
  • 52:27Once you open the app,
  • 52:29you get an interface that
  • 52:30looks something like this. These
  • 52:31are the questions that we
  • 52:32saw today. You create your
  • 52:34questions.
  • 52:35You insert the slide into
  • 52:37your PowerPoint
  • 52:38very, very easy.
  • 52:40You activate
  • 52:42it very easy, and you're
  • 52:43good to go.
  • 52:46But if you don't have
  • 52:46the app, it won't work.
  • 52:49Finally, Mentimeter,
  • 52:52the good news about Mentimeter
  • 52:53is that it's very
  • 52:55sharp looking, very pretty.
  • 52:57The bad news is that
  • 52:58it costs money,
  • 52:59and, the even, badder news
  • 53:02is that you
  • 53:03have to create all your
  • 53:04slides from within Mentimeter.
  • 53:07You don't create them in
  • 53:08PowerPoint and then insert your
  • 53:10slides.
  • 53:11You create everything from Mentimeter,
  • 53:12and it doesn't have, obviously,
  • 53:14all the flexibility
  • 53:15of,
  • 53:16PowerPoint or whatnot.
  • 53:18So,
  • 53:19that was a bonus teaching
  • 53:20today. So the what we
  • 53:22covered today, there's I hope
  • 53:24you have seen there's power
  • 53:26in small numbers and that
  • 53:27the workshop format is an
  • 53:28effective and clinically relevant way
  • 53:30to unleash it. That potential,
  • 53:32whether in person or through
  • 53:34synchronized video conferencing.
  • 53:37Some relevant,
  • 53:39tools include
  • 53:40the teaching,
  • 53:41team based learning.
  • 53:43We didn't cover the bus
  • 53:44groups, but it's when you
  • 53:44ask students to get together
  • 53:46in the classroom physically and
  • 53:47talk among themselves and then
  • 53:48answer,
  • 53:49flipped classroom, teaching, I think
  • 53:51we're all familiar with.
  • 53:54Welcoming and sharing uncertainty can
  • 53:56help unlock the
  • 53:57full group's potential,
  • 53:59and and certainly incorporating
  • 54:01some technology,
  • 54:03can be very useful.
  • 54:04So this is another AI
  • 54:06created image of hard at
  • 54:07work medical students in a
  • 54:09group.
  • 54:11And,
  • 54:12if,
  • 54:13I could ask you,
  • 54:14just to take a minute
  • 54:15to fill your evaluation,
  • 54:17that's very valuable to us.
  • 54:20And, certainly, if you have
  • 54:21any questions in the meantime,
  • 54:22feel feel free to
  • 54:24speak up
  • 54:26or put them on the
  • 54:27chat.
  • 54:31And, Linda, are you gonna
  • 54:32put the link in the
  • 54:33chat as well,
  • 54:35the Qualtrics link?
  • 54:43Potentially?
  • 54:51For those who are not
  • 54:53quick on the draw.
  • 55:10Awesome.
  • 55:12Okay. Let me it's in
  • 55:13the chat. I can't quite
  • 55:14see.
  • 55:18The last thing is that
  • 55:19we'll leave you with, what's
  • 55:20coming up next. We have,
  • 55:23Stephen Holt, who I had
  • 55:24mentioned. He's gonna be here
  • 55:25on December sixth talking again
  • 55:27about optimizing,
  • 55:28group learning.
  • 55:30And then we have on
  • 55:31a totally different track, but
  • 55:32an important one,
  • 55:34ladder tracks and how to
  • 55:36climb them successfully, and that's
  • 55:37by
  • 55:38no other than Sam Bell
  • 55:42Ball. I'm sorry. Sam Bell
  • 55:43who,
  • 55:44organizes
  • 55:45that office.
  • 55:47So with that, I am
  • 55:48going to
  • 55:50Yeah. A couple minutes to
  • 55:52ask for questions if people
  • 55:53have any.
  • 56:05We know more about depression.
  • 56:08We know more about depression.
  • 56:09And then, hopefully, it was
  • 56:10clear that this was not
  • 56:11a talk about depression, but
  • 56:13using
  • 56:14depression as a model on,
  • 56:16you know, how to engage
  • 56:17teens.
  • 56:22In in my mind, there's
  • 56:23nothing like engaging teams in
  • 56:25Vivo as compared to,
  • 56:28on Zoom.
  • 56:30But,
  • 56:31in this a and h,
  • 56:32we need to
  • 56:33use that as well. So
  • 56:41Thanks everybody for coming.
  • 56:43Thank you, everyone. Have a
  • 56:44good rest of your day.
  • 56:45Bye bye.
