The Doctor is in the House

My students need a netbook computer to attach an EKG and blood pressure probe to for the generation of vital sign data.

My Students

If is often said that a hands-on approach to science instruction improves learning. My students spend much of the time learning medical anatomy and physiology without the aid of medical equipment. A few basic tools will make a tremendous impact on their learning.

My students have all chosen to take my Medical Diagnosis class -- a biology elective for juniors and seniors who are interested in the medical professions.

Much of the class is spent learning about disease mechanisms and trauma events, and to how manage them. In time, students learn how to differentially diagnosis medical problems using an evidence-based model, a process they find interesting and exciting. I’ve been told many times that my class reminds them of “House” episodes (of course without the glamour). The wonderful thing about Medical Diagnosis is watching my students brainstorm and problem-solve like real medical professionals. The kids constantly amaze me with their interest and ability in applying the science of disease and physiology taught in the course to realistic medical scenarios.

My Project

Much of what we do requires using data and information that has already been gathered and compiled. In order to fully understand the diagnostic process, I would like my students to directly participate in this data collection and organization component. If I had a Netbook to attach an EKG and a blood pressure probe to, my students could learn how to perform these medical measurements and record the information for class discussions and analysis. Students would be given the opportunity to take each other’s blood pressure and EKG each day and store the data for use and discussion in class. They would be working with the some of the same tools that doctors and nurses use. More importantly, they would learn the process of collecting medical data. Finally, working with EKG and blood pressure probes would enhance student understanding of why cardiac symptoms manifest as they do, and the physiological ramifications of the corresponding problems discussed in class.

Ultimately, the mastery of these fundamental medical skills is put to test when students apply their knowledge to diagnostic problems.

The fusion of classroom instruction and the application of the material using a hands-on approach with EKG and blood pressure probes connected to a Netbook, makes learning more memorable, relevant and enjoyable.
