Virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship, LLC was privileged to have Dr. Adam Strohl present, Soft Tissue Reconstruction for the Upper Extremity this weekend. As clinicians specializing in upper limb and hand therapy, we need to also have an understanding of medical and surgical management so we can support and protect the healing process while safely restoring mobility and function. You cannot provide optimal care in upper limb and hand therapy without an advanced-level of knowledge in this highly specialized area of practice. You also can’t rely solely on protocols. Protocols are guidelines that can never capture the big picture. They should be adjusted in collaboration with the surgeon based on specific patient nuances and their evolving clinical presentation. This is what we focus on developing in the virtual hand therapy fellowship through our curriculum, amazing guest presenters like Dr. Strohl, and most importantly, mentorship. As our fellows learn the fundamentals and then begin to develop and understand the power of critical thinking, it completely changes their perspective in what they do. It opens up a whole different world of realizing the impact they can have on their patient’s recovery. This is what drives VHSF. #handtherapy #handtherapists #chtexam #occupationaltherapists #physicaltherapists #certifiedhandtherapists #handsurgeons #physiotherapists #clinicalexcellence #virtualhandfellowship

Medical school prepares you in so many ways to be a doctor... unless you want to be an Ophthalmologist. The perfect USMLE Step 1 score is little help in the face of fun terms/concepts such as accommodative esotropia, multifocal choroiditis with panuveitis, and the 3-step test. Godspeed current medical students interested in Ophtho. We're rooting for you! #medschool #medicalstudent #medicalstudents #usmlestep1 #medicine #ophthalmology #optometry #vision #eyes #science

Eye Tech Talk: History of Present Illness (HPI) 🧐✨ 🔍 Obtaining a thorough and accurate patient history is critical in detecting, diagnosing and treating eye conditions. It helps identify risk factors, understand symptoms, and tailor treatment plans to individual needs. 👁️ In the Ophthalmic Medical Technician Program at ATCC, our students receive comprehensive training in history taking in their very first semester, both in Skills Lab and the Introduction to Ophthalmology course. In these courses, they learn the critical skills needed to ask the right initial and follow up questions, interpret responses, and document findings accurately. This skill is then reinforced in multiple courses throughout the program ensuring students have the tools necessary to provide exceptional care and support to ophthalmologists and patients alike. 👁️📚 There’s still time to register for the upcoming fall semester. Enroll now and take the first step toward becoming a skilled and trusted member of the eye care team! https://bit.ly/4dqQNul #EyeTechTalk #OPMTEyeTechTalk #OphthalmicTechnician #EyeCare #HPI #PatientHistory #EyeCareTechnician #OnlineLearning #OphthalmicTechnicians #EyeTechnicians #OphthalmicMedicalTechnicianProgram #OPMT #ATCC #ClearVisionBrightFutures #EducatingOphthalmicTechnicians

🌍Transforming Global Surgical Care! 🚑 Exciting things are happening after the World Health Assembly adopted universal access to emergency, critical, and operative care! The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences Global Clinical Care Alliance (GCCA) recently hosted an inaugural webinar to explore innovations in global surgical education, featuring our founder, Daniel Donoho, as a panelist to discuss innovations in global surgical education. It was a fantastic opportunity to discuss how we can all work together to make healthcare more accessible. Here’s what’s happening: 🌐 Over 1 Billion People Affected: Countless individuals suffer due to inadequate surgical care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. A stark contrast exists between the U.S. and regions with limited neurosurgical resources. For example, Tanzania has a population of approximately 61 million, and the country has only 27 neurosurgeons—one for every 2.3 million people—and just 7 neurosurgical centers available. 📊 Harnessing Data for Better Outcomes: While these disparities exist, many neurosurgical operating rooms and procedures contain the same core equipment: cameras that capture raw data, instruments that record when they power cycle, and so on. By applying advanced technologies like computer vision and AI to this data, we can enhance surgical outcomes. 📚 Enhancing Surgical Training: By offering insights into the relationship between surgical steps and outcomes, we can identify patterns leading to successful procedures. The goal is to create a comprehensive database that identifies best practices, procedural variations, and factors influencing outcomes such as infections and procedure failures across all camera-based surgeries, both preoperatively and intraoperatively. This approach not only aims to provide long-term feedback, but also facilitates knowledge sharing across the world.
