Our new Clinician Resources collection
OPENPediatrics is pleased to announce a collection of educational resources newly available on our public Web site, our Clinician Resources collection. This collection includes more than 100 videos excerpted from the videos available to clinicians on our free clinician community site (requires registration). Covering topics from infectious disease to cardiology to ethics, this collection demonstrates the breadth and quality of the videos produced by subject matter experts at Boston Children’s Hospital and around the world. Each video includes a full transcript and a comments section to facilitate discussion.
“These resources on our public site allow clinicians worldwide to better understand what OPENPediatrics has to offer,” remarked Stephen Carson, OPENPediatrics Director of Operations, in discussing the new collection. “These videos are a window into the high-quality content available on the clinician community site, which also provides social tools for clinicians to connect with peers around the world, and sophisticated educational tools including our guided learning pathways and device simulators.”
OPENPediatrics has also redesigned our World Shared Practice Forum collection () on the public Web site, making these resources easier to find and use. Our World Shared Practice Forums share perspectives from world experts working in a wide range of resource settings on key aspects of pediatric care. These forums air on a monthly schedule on our clinician community site, and are watched by groups of clinicians worldwide, who share practices from their own institutions in semi-synchronous discussion. The redesigned World Shared Practice Forum collection allows for discussion on our public platform as well.
In addition to the Clinician Resources Collection and the World Shared Practice Forum collection, the OPENPediatrics public site also includes our Multimedia Library, launched in January of this year. This collection shares animations and illustrations created by the OPENPediatrics staff for our videos, in downloadable and openly licensed formats to support use by clinicians and academics in their own educational materials. The Multimedia Library currently contains approximately 50 animations and illustrations, with dozens more slated to be added to the site in the coming weeks.
