The spiral of knowledge is very broad; each one of us has only a part of that knowledge and is able to enrich it by sharing it

DR. ISMAEL MENESES HIDALGO

"I am a pediatrician with a professional teaching activity at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala for the past 26 years. I have practiced medicine since 1984, both at a private level in the office, as well as in the hospital environment in a NICU." With a single stroke, sober and concise, the Mexican physician Ismael Meneses delivers his professional profile. Equally brief, in this interview he describes Practicum Script as a network of collaborative learning and immediate feedback, which "allows one to carry out a systematic analysis, following a reasoning order and reflecting on diagnostic possibilities while broadening them."

Even though I am a Family Physician, I also treat infants, and the course has helped me with diagnostic decisions

DR. VERÓNICA P. MURILLO PERALTA

Dr. Verónica P. Murillo Peralta is a 36-year-old Family Physician with a degree in Health Management and Pediatric Emergency. She was born in the port city of Guayaquil, in Ecuador, and currently works at Centro San Marcos in a deprived area of the province of Santa Elena. For more than 15 years, she has been associated with the "noble specialty of Pediatrics," as she describes her care practice, and subject to an unstable climate and a poor population. Mothers (in the area) have an average of nine children, and the environmental demands are high. "The Practicum Script course of Pediatrics has been challenging, but I have certainly learned a lot," she says.

I think our main mistake is to believe that experience makes us better doctors and then stop staying up to date

DR. MARISOL FONSECA

The Mexican doctor Marisol Fonseca is a pediatrician specialized in Intensive Therapy. She was born in 1982, graduated from the Anahuac University, and was trained in her subspecialty at UNAM. She worked in 2013 at the Boston Children's Hospital and is currently working at the Hospital de Quemados de Puebla. Among the merits attributed to Practicum Script, she mentions the reinforcement of analytical skills and clinical judgment, broadening of differential diagnoses, and the possibility to review (cases) and stay continuously up to date. Her observations on the simulator emphasize its value in "integrating the pathologies more critically and efficiently."

Once you graduate, you only rarely become in contact again with multiple authorities in Cardiology

DR. CÉSAR GEOVANNY PALOMEQUE MONTALVO

“I am a clinical cardiologist from Ecuador, and I live and work in the city of Río Grande, a province in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. In regards to my professional practice, I share a cardiology center with a partner, where we perform ambulatory care." This is a brief self-description by Dr. César Geovanny Palomeque Montalvo. He is 40 years old and talks about experience as the ability to capture "subtle details that allow us to analyze new cases in a more agile way." That is what Practicum Script is: experience acquired through simulation.

Testimonies

Congratulations for doing this type of continuing medical education course that leads to activate clinical reasoning. It is crucial especially when you do not attend public hospitals, where paraclinical costs are provided, and your are a first contact physician.

Dr. Juan Manuel Zaragoza Michel

Pediatrician at Clínica Médica Morealia in Michoacán de Ocampo (México)

These courses are amazing and over the years have had variants that have improved our learning capacity and help us a lot in our daily practice. I also thank the bibliography that Practicum provides for the differential diagnoses. I have taken all the courses. This has motivated me to take courses from the most prestigious universities in the world through Coursera and Edx.

Dr. José Luis Campos Pahua

Pediatrician in charge of his own practice in Zitácuaro (Michoacán de Ocampo, Mexico

From the beginning it seemed to me like an excellent tool to keep in shape of pediatric medical knowledge. Its system is very pleasant and dynamic and makes you think of each answer by applying the knowledge you already acquired during your professional practice, as well as by supporting yourself in the comments of the teachers who direct the subject. I highly recommend it and I hope Practicum keeps expanding their experience in this way to all pediatric physicians in the country.

Dr. Alfredo Isas Vázquez

Pediatrician at Hospital San José in Monterrey (Mexico)

Excellent support for all those involved in the health of our patients. It encourages us to continue updating ourselves to be more accurate and confident in our daily medical practice. Thank you for this opportunity that we are taking advantage of every day to enrich our knowledge for the complete well-being of our population.

Dr. Salvador Caballero Dimas

It makes me rethink about my attitude and safety in daily medical practice.

Dr. José L. Suárez

Head of the Cardiology Internment Room of the Hospital General de Agudos

I consider it is a practical method, quick and simple to get feedback on our knowledge, since often time flies and we can't be up to date as we would like. 

Dr. Rogelio Ochoa Aldana

Pediatrician, Sinaloa (Mexico)

It doesn't matter if I read that the experts' opinions are concordant with mine; in the end, what you get out of it is a lot of training. Remember that we physicians will always have discrepant opinions and the gray area in medicine is always very wide, so the most important thing is that day to day we keep our minds open to learning and knowing other physicians' or groups of physicians' opinions about particular cases.

Dr. Miguel Olivares Alcocer

Pediatrician, Guanajuato (Mexico)

I consider it is a very entertaining and interesting methodology; the comments of the experts help to consider the patients from a practical point of view. As the program progresses, the method of thinking in the diagnostic and therapeutic process changes.

Dr. Jacqueline Fierro Jara

Gastroenterologist pediatrician (Chile)

I really enjoyed this activity. It has helped me to reflect on innovative training strategies in medical education.

Dr. Carlos José Jaramillo

Professor in Cardiology. Medicine Faculty at Universidad de Antioquia in Medellín (Colombia)

Excellent continuous medical training tool, which promotes the flexibility of reasoning when facing the patient. It is an excellent exercise in clinical analysis.

Dr. Norma Isela Ramírez

Great. Even if I didn't reach 100 score points during the resolution of the cases, the objective is to learn. I appreciate the opportunity to complete this course, the cases are very well designed.

Dr. Ricardo Guraieb Ibarrola

Pediatrician at American British Cowdray Hospital in Distrito Federal (Mexico)

It is a challenge to think quickly and coherently. It speeds up your reasoning and links your theoretical and practical knowledge together. It is an excellent exercise. It is important for me to see how the more I practice, the quicker and better I respond

Dr. Ofelia R. Casas

Pediatrician and neonatologist. Argentina

Excellent clinical cases that bring you very close to the approach used in decision making in real pediatric practice. This is invaluable material that makes us think precisely in the situations we encounter in our clinical practice

Dr. Armando José Briceño

Pediatrician. Centro Médico Pensiones. Yucatán (México)

I think this is a good tool, especially because of what you learn from the different opinions, because medical practice is based on good clinical judgment as well as on knowledge

Dr. Carolina Guerrero Pando

Cardiologist. México
