Improved Education For Kidney Failure Patients May Increase Chances Of Living Donor Transplantation
Patients with kidney failure who have greater transplant knowledge and motivation are ultimately more likely to receive a kidney transplant from a living donor, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN). The findings suggest that improving patient education may help reduce disparities in transplantation. A kidney transplant is the best treatment for patients with kidney failure, offering patients a longer and healthier life than dialysis...

HSCT Education: Bridging the Gap
In 2014 the HSCT program at the academic medical center became a member of the NMDP. This brought the challenge of ensuring that those who would be trusted to care for these patients have the proper knowledge and skill base to be successful. A review of strategies was undertaken to effectively meet the educational needs of staff caring for HSCT patients across settings.

Succinct guide to liver transplantation for medical students
Publication date: Available online 14 November 2016 Source:Annals of Medicine and Surgery Author(s): Cheng-Maw Ho, Po-Huang Lee, Cheng-Wing Tung, Rey-Heng Hu, Yao-Ming Wu, Ming-Chih Ho Literature on liver transplantation for use in medical education is limited and as yet unsatisfactory. The aim of this article is to help medical students gain enough insight into the reality of being a liver transplant recipient. This is crucial so in the future they can feel confident in approaching these patients with adequate knowledge and confidence. The knowledge-tree based learning core topics are designed for a 2-hour class includin...

Inoculating a New Generation: Immunology in Medical Education
We present our perspective, using as our model a first-year medical school course entitled Host Defense. As the name suggests, immunology is the overarching principle that links the multiple subjects in the course. We address a range of immunologically relevant topics, including innate and adaptive immunity, vaccines, inflammation, allergy, tumor immunotherapy, transplantation, and autoimmunity. These topics are integrated with the fields of infectious diseases, pathology, clinical laboratory testing, and public health, to illustrate how the basic science discoveries in immunology are relevant to clinical practice. The cou...

Problems and development strategies for research ethics committees in Chinas higher education institutions
The establishment of research ethics committees (REC) in China’s higher education institutions (HEI) is lagging far behind western developed countries. This has at least partly directly led to anomie in scientific research ethics, as seen in the recent controversies involving a proposed human head transplant and gene-edited babies. At present, the problems for REC in China’s HEI include lack of regulation, informal ethics reviews, lack of supervision and insufficient ethics review capacity. To counteract these problems, suggested measures include mandatory formation of formal ethics committee, administrative su...

Personalized Development of Human Organs using 3D Printing Technology
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a technique of fabricating physical models from a 3D volumetric digital image. The image is sliced and printed using a specific material into thin layers, and successive layering of the material produces a 3D model. It has already been used for printing surgical models for preoperative planning, in medical education for a more truthful appreciation of human anatomy and in constructing personalized prostheses for patients. The ultimate goal is to achieve the development of functional human organs and tissues, to overcome limitations of organ transplantation created by the lack of organ don...

A survey of medical students to assess their exposure to and knowledge of renal transplantation
Within the field of renal transplantation there is a lack of qualified and trainee surgeons and a shortage of donated organs. Any steps to tackle these issues should, in part, be aimed at future doctors.

Role of telehealth in renal replacement therapy education
Abstract The prevalence of end‐stage renal disease is rising in the United States, which bears high financial and public health burden. The most common modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the United States is in‐center hemodialysis. Many patients report lack of comprehensive and timely education about their treatment options, which may preclude them from participating in home‐based dialysis therapies and kidney transplantation evaluation. While RRT education has traditionally been provided in‐person, the rise of telehealth has afforded new opportunities to improve upon the status quo. For example, techno...

End ‐stage renal disease treatment options education: What matters most to patients and families
Abstract Treatment modality education can offer many important benefits to patients and their families. Evidence suggests such education can increase use of home dialysis, reduce catheter use, decrease 90‐day mortality, and increase transplantation. While these benefits are encouraging, not all patients are offered options education and when they are, it may not be presented in a way that is immediately applicable to them and their lives. Furthermore, little is known regarding specific characteristics (e.g. format such as group or individual or in‐person or online, duration, teaching methods, location, content) of educ...

Evaluating the Need for Organ Donation and Transplant-Related Education in Nursing Curricula.
Abstract Transplant education has been historically unstructured and inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to measure nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation, allocation, and preparation for practice using a modified version of the Organ Donation Attitude Questionnaire II-Student Version. Scores were low, particularly regarding brain death and organ allocation. Preparedness for practice was related to knowledge of brain death (z = 2.05, p = .04); knowledge (t = 2.24, p = .03) and attitude (t = 7.55, p < .0001) were related to signing a driver's license. Results support including or...

Growing Your Teaching Methodology in Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Staff Education: Going Beyond Powerpoint™
The addition of allogeneic BMT to our program required revision of the staff education program. The BMT team was cognizant of avoiding a “death by PowerPoint™” approach to education. Our approach was to go beyond the communication of data and standard operating procedures; a program where staff, as lifelong learners, reflect and examine the intensive and complex culture of BMT. The challenge was to meet the needs of advanced and novice staff with varying experiential learning styles (Kolb, 1984).

A televised entertainment-education drama to promote positive discussion about organ donation
This article investigates pathways between the exposure to an entertainment-education (E-E) television drama called Three Rivers and positive discussion of organ donation among viewers of the drama in the United States. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using an online advertising for a period of one week. Survey participants included 1325 adults living in the United States, who had viewed the first episode of Three Rivers on television. Data were collected on recall of events in the storyline, perceived entertainment value, perceived accuracy of the presented health information, rejection of organ donation myths and ...
