Clinical Investigation Online
(CLIO)
This project aims to develop web-based teaching tools to
strengthen the dissemination of new scientific developments to patient populations
and to the community at large.
Curriculum Web Portal (CWP)
Our goal is to support every Medical School course via the
web both administratively and with rich content based learning tools.
Distal Radius Web Module
Fractures of the Distal Radius is a web-based teaching
module. Its audience includes surgeons, anatomists, anthropologists, therapists,
and other students interested in the hand and wrist.
End of Life Curriculum Project
The goals of End of Life Curriculum Project are to design, develop, implement
and evaluate web-based End of Life and Palliative Care curriculum.
A key component of the design is that the course can be completed entirely in
self-study mode.
The E-Pelvis
A Pelvic Examination Simulator. The
e-Pelvis is a newly designed teaching and assessment tool that consists of a
partial mannequin - umbilicus to mid thigh - constructed in the likeness of
an adult human female.
Graduate Web Portal (GWP)
Modeled after the CWP, this portal provides graduate students
in the Biosciences with a web space where all their course and department information
can be found in one place.
HAVnet
The HAVnet project is a collaborative effort with other
researchers--both national and international--to develop advanced networking
infrastructure for distributed learning in Clinical Anatomy and Surgical Skills.
The iAnatomy Project
The iAnatomy project is an interactive/international/Internet
anatomy server that provides images, movies, text, live video, and interactive
(Java3D) models for teaching surgeons anatomy of every piece of the human body
and every surgical skill ever developed.
Integrating Textbooks
with Online Curricula (Cross/Mercer)
The project goal was to prepare an online version of a textbook
written by Dr. Patricia Cross, "Cell and Tissue Ultrastructure: A Functional
Perspective".
Interactive
3D Atlas of Human Tooth Anatomy
SUMMIT researchers collaborate with the Brown and Herbranson
group in the creation of high resolution slices and 3D views of anatomy. A
micromilling and photography capability has been placed adjacent to the cadaver
dissection
labs. MicroCT and microMR imagery are obtained through collaborations with
the University of California Lawrence Berkeley Lab and with other universities.
Interactive Histology
Slides
Histology is a visually rich course where students learn
to identify cell and tissue structure. Students now have access to the complete
set of slides throughout their course of study. The slides were created using
Java and run on the Curriculum Web Portal.
Interactive Simulated Patient
(ISP)
In a simulated encounter (via video) with a patient, the
student practices taking a patient's clinical history, completes a physical
exam, orders tests, and selects a diagnosis through a process of hypothesis
development and refinement.
Luminary Series
This project aims to develop and present streaming video
of luminaries in the Biosciences.
The Media Server Project
A variety of media content of excellent educational
value has been created at Stanford University School of Medicine over the years.
Unfortunately much of this invaluable resource is likely to remain unused unless
an efficient system of collecting, cataloguing and annotating the images is
developed. The Media Server aims to be that system, a project that brings together
rich media resources of Stanford faculty for use in local and distance teaching,
research, and clinical outcome analysis.
Modular Online Content HierArchy
(MOCHA)
MOCHA is an XML- and Java-based system for online content
organization and management. A user's navigation through this content is determined
by database information such as access permissions and evaluation scores.
The Next Generation Internet
Gigabit Test Bed at Stanford University
The SUMMIT group is contracted by the National Library
of Medicine to develop a gigabit test bed on campus and to assess its utility
in the teaching of medicine. The application we have selected is the teaching
of anatomy and the fundamental manipulations of surgery, using visual and haptic
simulation, delivered over the Internet.
Nutrition
The goals of this project are to design, develop, implement
and evaluate a web-based nutrition curriculum that vertically integrates nutrition
concepts and principles into both the preclinical and clinical curriculum.
PharmaPaC
A two-week course for clinical students on clinical pharmacologic
reasoning. The aim of the course is to strengthen and simplify the learning
process of pharmacological principles by illustrating these principles in drug-related
patient cases; study groups learn interactively via the web.
Simulation Environments
in Medicine
Learning Technologies/SUMMIT supports the School
of Medicine and its faculty in the effective application of education technology
to enhance teaching and learning.
Stanford
Visible Female
This is a site about the human female pelvis...from
Lucys' paleo-anthropological origins (discovery 1974) to 3D computer models
in medical education.
A
Surgical Simulator for Diagnostic and Operative Hysteroscopy
Surgical simulators have the widely acknowledged benefits
of allowing the introduction of anatomic variation, simulation of untoward events,
and collection of surgical performance data. Just as with aircraft piloting,
medical procedures require repetitive practice for maintaining competence, errors
are potentially disastrous, and the ability to train using "what-if"
scenarios can be invaluable.
Virtual 3D World for Emergency Medical Team Training
Six trauma scenarios adapted from scenarios designed for the high-fidelity Human Patient Simulator (HPS)
were developed using Atmosphere software (Adobe Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA) to create the virtual world and Poser (Curious Labs, Santa Cruz,
CA) to create the avatars and patient ‘robots’. Talker (Digital Space, Australia) is used for live voice communication. Avatars, ‘clothed
in scrub garments’ were customized to portray the actual team members.
The Virtual Labs Project
New tools in physiology are needed because of the persistent
difficulties in dynamic visualization and conceptual understanding of temporal
and causal relationships. The goal of the Virtual Labs Project is to develop
engaging web-delivered interactive media with solid instructional design and
evaluation protocols. Understanding, motivation, and growth of the learner drive
our learner-centered design.
