Pamela Huang, a fourth-year medical student at BUSM, recently received the \u201cBest Scientific and Educational Award\u201d at the 2017 PostGraduate Assembly in Anesthesiology in New York for her presentation on patient safety that combines the use of a book with high-definition video.<\/p>\n
Her exhibit, \u201cLessons in Patient Safety: Stories, Analogies and the Multimedia Effect,\u201d shared a new approach to teaching complex concepts in patient safety using high-definition video. The video stories accompany an upcoming not-for-profit book on patient safety developed in conjunction with Boston Medical Center. The stories offer techniques and strategies aimed at preventing errors before they occur and are applicable to all specialties and healthcare settings. A group of medical students, many of whom are pursuing careers in anesthesiology, have participated as chapter co-authors and assisted with the development of the multimedia elements of the book.<\/p>\n
\u201cLearners expect content to be not only visually engaging but personally relevant,\u201d Huang said. \u201cWe hope this publication and its accompanying digital content will help reduce errors in patient safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
A native of San Francisco, Huang received her undergraduate degree in molecular and cell biology\/neurobiology from the University of California, Berkeley, where she studied anesthesia\u2019s effects on memory formation. She is a co-founder of the Brain Enrichment Program, which allows medical students to deliver brain-related lectures to residents at assisted living facilities. As a medical student, she co-authored two chapters of the upcoming patient safety book.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur recent award at the PostGraduate Assembly is a collaborative effort made by many outstanding individuals, of which I am only one of the medical students,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to highlight the extraordinary work spearheaded by Dr. Rafael Ortega, Dr. Keith Lewis, Dr. Robert Canelli and the multimedia laboratory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
