The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Post

Chuffed to have received a 'milestone' notification from ResearchGate this morning. My co-authored article with the wonderful Liz Chan (Royal Veterinary College) has achieved 300 reads! The paper proposes a novel framework for critical reflection to foster professional identity formation, which we developed from an inductive analysis of reflective essays written by third-year veterinary students. Both students and fellow educators from the management field have found the framework helpful. So if you are an educator and interested in professional identity formation, please do check out the paper on: https://lnkd.in/ezzUqKTJ #professionalidentity #reflectivepractice

Moving towards a new era of education? Researchers at the Metropolitan Autonomous University in Mexico evaluated the use of distance learning to teach basic veterinary surgery principles to 4th-year students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a virtual learning platform with asynchronous and synchronous activities, they found significant improvements in student test scores from pre- to post-course, indicating the potential effectiveness of this distance learning model for teaching foundational surgical concepts. The study provides important insights into adapting clinical and hands-on training to virtual formats. The findings suggest distance learning can be an effective complement to in-person instruction for this type of subject matter, warranting further research on leveraging technology to enhance veterinary education.

I can't help every local pet in need nearly as often as I used to, mostly because I don't have enough staff to call in the cavalry like we used to be able to do when we needed to do a procedure on a non surgery day but today the stars aligned and we helped this pup who's parents couldn't afford specialty care. I have never done this procedure before. Tibial crest avulsions are pretty rare. But I must say that as far as open fracture repairs go or orthopedics in general, this was super easy. if I had all the right equipment and had actually performed this at least once before, it could have been a 20-30 minute procedure! (mine was a little longer 😁but I don't know that a specialist could have done a better job?) Can anyone explain why our local BP would have quoted these folks the same price they charge for a TPLO or bone plate? ANYONE who has ever done an orthopedic procedure could probably do this! It would be less upsetting to me to see them double their prices over the past couple of years if the folks doing the work received a reasonable portion of it but to double prices to raise compensation what maybe 10%?? and double or triple their profit margins is just so offensive to me. We are wondering why so many young vets are burning out and leaving clinical practice? With 60% or more doing internships, the majority of them at corporate owned specially hospitals, not research oriented educational facilities, they face economic euthanasia multiple times every shift. Pet owners cause THEM of not caring and price gauging not the stuffed shirts in some office far away. They quickly begin to believe that their degree has given them the privilege of killing patients they could fix, some, like this pup, fixed very easily!

“People are hard work.” - sighed Nurse “Yep! But, thankfully, they are also figureoutable” - smiled Savvy ⚡️Working with other people is one of the biggest challenges for the medical and veterinary professionals (and the whole society, to be fair!). People make our work twice as hard! Believe me, I KNOW… ** ⚡️Helping patients, managing teams, practicing teamwork - it always involves another person. ❗️People are demanding. They complain, argue, cry and throw objects. ❗️People lie and disappoint. But also... ❕People try their best. ❕They hope. They care. They love. People are messy and complicated, and often get completely lost. We all do all of the above, don’t we? 😊 Let’s figure it all out.
