Changes to doctor training underway

Posted on by

The Medical Council is implementing changes to doctors training and education that will improve patient safety and the performance of doctors.

The first of these changes is the release today of the New Zealand Curriculum Framework for Prevocational Medical Training (NZCF).

The NZCF outlines the learning outcomes to be completed in the two years after a doctor graduates and will build on the skills and competencies gained through medical school.

Mr Andrew Connolly, the Councils chairperson said today, NZCF is a significant leap forward in medical education and will be critical in training doctors to bridge the gap from medical school to hands on medical practice.

Dr John Adams, the immediate past Chairperson oversaw the development of this initiative which I endorse.

A staged implementation of the NZCF will commence in November 2014 for first year doctors.

Mr Connolly says full implementation of the NZCF will not occur until clinical attachments have been accredited, which is scheduled for November 2015. Accreditation of clinical attachments will ensure that every clinical attachment provides quality training and learning opportunities.

However everyone involved in prevocational training will be able to use the learning outcomes in the NZCF as a guide for training and educational programmes.

The NZCF is underpinned by two central concepts, said Mr Connolly.

The first is that patient safety must be at the centre of healthcare and depends on both individual practice and also effective multidisciplinary team work.

Paul L. Foster School of Medicine needs cadavers for high-level classes

Dr. Thomas Gest has devoted his life to teaching medical students.

And in his death, he will continue to teach them.

Gest, a professor of anatomy in the Department of Medical Education at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine, has willed his body to the Willed Body Program at the school.

That means Gest is donating his body to science and his students.

"My intention is to continue teaching even after I have passed," Gest said Monday morning. "Teaching is what I do and that's what I would like to do one last time."

The medical school is now enrolling new donors to be used for high-level anatomical instruction to future physicians.

"The donors are really their teachers," Gest said. "We can teach them how; but we can't teach them as well as the donors. They are their textbook and their teacher. This is a human scale where you can see the actual size of a kidney. We want physicians to know the real size of the organs in their patient's bodies and the best way to do that is working with real human beings. (Cadavers) are a great learning tool."

The Paul L. Foster School of Medicine is using about 30 cadavers from Texas Tech in Lubbock in its residency programs, emergency medicine, surgery and orthopedic surgery classes.

"We are giving it a five-year window (to be self sufficient)," said Heather Balsiger, anatomy lab and Willed Body Program manager. "We are still going to have to depend on cadavers from Lubbock for now."

Liberty Twp. mega retail project misses another deadline

Posted on by

LIBERTY TWP.

Details of a public debt issue have yet to be finalized for construction on a mega retail development slated for Liberty Twp., and no new tenants have been announced, causing the developer and local government representatives to miss another deadline for the building project.

Columbus-based developer Steiner + Associates, the same developer of Easton Town Center in Columbus and The Greene in Beavercreek, plans to build an approximately 1.4 million-square-foot mixed-use shopping, office and residential complex at the intersection of Ohio 129, Interstate 75 and Liberty Way. The projects first phase is expected to be a more than $300 million investment encompassing 65 acres.

Liberty Center, as the projects called, would have a similar tenant lineup as Easton, developers say. However, Liberty Center initially will be bigger than Easton or The Greene were when they opened, Steiner + Associates founder Yaromir Steiner previously told this newspaper.

The developer and local governments Butler County and Liberty Twp. missed a March 1 deadline for securing public financing, and naming additional tenants.

Some requirements were met, however. They include buying the final piece of land, and forming a homeownership association for the propertys future maintenance.

The project is moving along just fine. Probably the most important date from the countys perspective is the opening date, which is and remains September 2015, said Butler County Administrator Charlie Young.

Its been nine months since a master development agreement was reached between the developer, county and township. The agreement, signed July 2013, committed a maximum $43 million in public money for the project, and in exchange, the contract placed a number of safeguards for protecting the government investment.

Among the safeguards was a so-called trigger date. Certain things were supposed to have been completed by Nov. 1, 2013, or else the contract could be terminated with no obligations. They included having the projects public and private financing in place, and for more anchor tenants to have signed leases, according to a copy of the public agreement.

Tenants announced to date are department store Dillards and dinner-and-movie theater CineBistro.
