APMA News - July/August 2013 - (Page 38)

IT Consultant By James R. Christina, DPM Using Technology to Enhance Education Technology has many advantages, as well as some disadvantages. Many of us would love to completely disconnect from e-mails, texts, etc., at least temporarily. One distinct advantage of technology, though, is how it can be used as an efficient, cost-effective way to educate ourselves—on our own schedules. For busy podiatric residents, for example, being able to view educational lectures on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop is certainly a plus. In CPME publication 320, Standards and Requirements for Approval of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residencies, the Council on Podiatric Medical Education identifies competencies residents must achieve and indicates that residents are required to engage in weekly didactic activities. To that end, in cooperation with APMA affiliates—the American College of Foot & Ankle Orthopedics & Medicine, the American Society of Podiatric REdRC is set up so any APMA member can view the lectures to review a particular topic or use them as a refresher to prepare for board exams. Medicine, the American Society of Podiatric Surgeons, and the Association of Extremity Nerve Surgeons—APMA developed the Residency Education Resource Center (REdRC). This online program provides 30- to 40-minute lectures that are based on the competencies identified by CPME. The PowerPoint lectures on a variety of topics can be viewed by residents on smartphones, laptops, tablets, and PCs. Many of the lectures have a quiz associated with them that residents can take to determine if they understood all the key points of a given lecture. When residents subscribe to REdRC, their residency directors automatically receive an invitation for a complimentary subscription. Once residency directors subscribe, they can monitor their residents’ activity, including which lecture presentations they have viewed and their quiz scores. REdRC became operational in July 2012, offering lecture programs for first-year residents. Thanks to the generous support from REdRC’s founding sponsors, APMA waived subscriptions for the initial year of the program. For the 2013–14 residency training year, once again thanks to sponsor support, subscriptions are once again complimentary for all APMA member residents. APMA membership is free for residents (although some states may charge a small fee to join 38 APMA News July/August 2013 the state component association). Residents who would like to become APMA members can access the membership form at www.apma.org. For 2013–14, there is a full slate of lectures for first-year residents, and lectures for second-year residents are being added as they are developed. Future REdRC plans include adding lectures for thirdyear residents starting in July 2014, developing a CV builder for residents nearing the completion of their training, adding lectures on coding and practice management, and possibly establishing a job board function. REdRC is set up so any APMA member can view the lectures to review a particular topic or use them as a refresher to prepare for board exams. Residents can subscribe to REdRC at www.redrc.org. Members can log in with the user name and password they use to access the members-only content on APMA.org. n Contact Dr. Christina at jrchristina@apma.org.
