Item Development of a Web-Based Patient Case Study Template for Nutrition Education(2006-12-19) Klein, Belinda Jeanne; Krumwiede, Kimberly HoggattThis thesis project attempts to build a model-teaching tool by creating a computer-based patient case study. The goal of this thesis was to create a model for an interactive website that presents a patient case study for fourth-year medical students that will potentially facilitate diagnosis and treatment of patients with a nutritional condition. A preliminary step to this thesis project was the development of a web-based patient case study template. The objective was to use metabolic syndrome as an exemplary nutritional patient case study within the template. The metabolic syndrome content included meets the requirements for medical students and the incorporation of the nationally recognized research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center's campus. Additionally, the uses of different types of media (photographs, MRIs, animations, interactive diagrams, and graphs) were used to present information in an effective manner. The test site was posted on the Internet for fourth-year medical students to review and participate in an informal survey to gather their responses on the template and its components. The website was created in a program format that meets the requirements of the campus on-line curriculum and can easily be updated in the future to ensure that information remains current and new patient case studies can be added.Item Histology of the Female Reproductive System: An Interactive Educational Module(2013-04-11) Gove, Mollie; Calver, Lewis; Diehl, Angela; Hoffman, Barbara“Histology of the Female Reproductive System: An Interactive Learning Module” is an interactive animated video project designed to address the need for a complete educational exploration of female reproductive histology for medical students and residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The content was developed by Dr. Barbara Hoffman and Dr. Kelley Carrick, and was designed to accompany the existing histology literature in McGraw-Hill’s Williams Gynecology textbook. The project features 18 video animations that present normal and pathological histology features set in an interactive interface. This interface offers primary and secondary menus, as well as an interactive illustration showing the complete female reproductive system. The module was evaluated by current UT Southwestern medical students and residents for its perceived educational value. After using the module, surveys on the efficacy of the project were completed by eleven students. Analysis showed that the project was considered a useful resource for understanding female reproductive histology.Item Pathologic Staging of Gynecological Cancers: An Interactive Visual Resource for Surgeons(2008-05-12) Chaphalkar, Maya D.; Krumwiede, Kimberly HoggattThe goal of this thesis was to create a useful teaching and review tool for staging procedures, specifically made for medical students, residents, fellows and practitioners in the field of general gynecology and gynecological oncology. The thesis question to be answered was "Can an interactive, visual guide for surgical staging procedures of gynecological cancers be created to aid in the teaching of this process?" I created one interactive program for endometrial cancer as a model in response to this question. The program contains text, animations, and surgical video. It was created to supplement textbooks already in use. Evaluation questions showed an increase in learning as well as a positive reaction to the program. The interactive guide could be useful for studying or reviewing surgical staging of endometrial cancer.
