MS Pain Project Framework

Overview

Progress During September 2009

We began this project in the last week of the month and focused on setting up administrative pages on CTI's intranet and wiki (see contents in the template at the bottom of this and every page). We also developed an initial draft of the curriculum outline and started developing the website for this project on medstudentlearning.com.

Objective 1: Develop Curriculum

Develop a complete curriculum plan for 5-7 modules on the topic of pain and addiction

  • We developed a proposed outline for the MS Pain Curriculum by starting with the PCP Pain curriculum, making changes to refelct the differences between the two curricula that we described to NIDA, reviewing the UVA med student curriculum on pain developed by one of our expert consultants, Yanni and making changes that it inspired, and reviewing all the other med student and resident and other health care student curricula on pain we could find (Notes on the curricula reviewed).

Objective 2: Conduct Needs Analysis

Conduct needs analysis focused on how best to use a remote standardized patient interview within a online learning module.

  • We reviewed the proposed needs analysis. It consists of:
  1. Semi-structured interviews of faculty (n=10)
  2. Online surveys of medical students (n=20)

Objective 3: Design the website and learning experience

Define a prototype in detail including a standardized patient learning experience, case scenarios, interactive questions, didactic information, and links to additional resources

  • We began to set up a website within CTI's MedStudentLearning.com at http://www.medstudentlearning.com/pain and set up the course introductory pages for the prototype course as described above.We will use prototypes developed by research from other CTI projects as a starting point for development of SP experience design.

Objective 4: Develop Prototype Course Including SP

Evaluate Interface Design

Objective 5: Usability Testing

Conduct remote usability testing on the learning experience with the standardized patient as a teaching component

  • No action taken this month.

Work to be Performed in the Next Reporting Period

Objective 1: Develop Curriculum

Develop a complete curriculum plan for 5-7 modules on the topic of pain and addiction

  • Draft outline of curriculum to be reviewed internally and then submitted to one consultant for review, most likely Yanni.
  • Revise outline according to each review and submit to all expert consultants for input using an online survey using modified Delphi approach.

Objective 2: Conduct Needs Analysis

Conduct needs analysis focused on how best to use a remote standardized patient interview within a online learning module.

  • Write questions for needs analysis interviews and survey
  • Start recruitment for needs analysis: faculty (n=10), medical students (n=20)

Objective 3: Design the website and learning experience

Define a prototype in detail including a standardized patient learning experience, case scenarios, interactive questions, didactic information, and links to additional resources

  • Begin developing the content for the case scenario, basing it on progress in other CTI projects in this area.

Objective 4: Develop Prototype Course Including SP

Create the standardized patient case for the prototype module

Objective 5: Usability Testing

Conduct remote usability testing on the learning experience with the standardized patient as a teaching component

  • No action planned next month.
