But error is also a formidable tool for learning, one that we use during our lifetime to improve our performance and evolve.

During a 3-hour workshop, we will first talk about error as a learning tool, types of errors in Medicine, and the role of simulation in learning and error avoidance. The participants will be immersed in two different clinical scenarios and allowed (but not induced) to make errors, depending on whether their interpretation, interaction and decision are correct or not. The course of action will then be debriefed with the help of trained instructors.

Nowadays, the human genome is already sequenced, which means that about three billion base pairs of our DNA have already been identified, such as its order. This sequence, however, is not exactly the same in each of us. About 99.5% of a person’s DNA is similar to anyone else’s DNA, even if not relatives. Nonetheless, the small, but distinct, 0.5% are responsible for the genetic variability. Such differences include changes in a single nucleotide, changes in one or more genes, or even changes in chromosome number or structure. Some differences that occur in DNA sequences have little or no effect on protein function, while other differences are directly responsible for causing disease.

This workshop explores the ACMG criteria and use practical examples to reach the various classifications of variants, identified in cancer patients.

Thanks to several teams of US enthusiasts mainly in ICU’s and Emergency Depts, the technique has been applied and extensively validated in almost all pleuro-pulmonary disease states. Today, thoracic US is an easy to learn, reliable, fast, non-invasive point-of-care technique available in most hospitals.

Nowadays, the human genome is already sequenced, which means that about three billion base pairs of our DNA have already been identified, such as its order. This sequence, however, is not exactly the same in each of us. About 99.5% of a person’s DNA is similar to anyone else’s DNA, even if not relatives. Nonetheless, the small, but distinct, 0.5% are responsible for the genetic variability. Such differences include changes in a single nucleotide, changes in one or more genes, or even changes in chromosome number or structure. Some differences that occur in DNA sequences have little or no effect on protein function, while other differences are directly responsible for causing disease.

This workshop explores the ACMG criteria and use practical examples to reach the various classifications of variants, identified in cancer patients.

Nowadays, the human genome is already sequenced, which means that about three billion base pairs of our DNA have already been identified, such as its order. This sequence, however, is not exactly the same in each of us. About 99.5% of a person’s DNA is similar to anyone else’s DNA, even if not relatives. Nonetheless, the small, but distinct, 0.5% are responsible for the genetic variability. Such differences include changes in a single nucleotide, changes in one or more genes, or even changes in chromosome number or structure. Some differences that occur in DNA sequences have little or no effect on protein function, while other differences are directly responsible for causing disease.

This workshop explores the ACMG criteria and use practical examples to reach the various classifications of variants, identified in cancer patients.

Would you ever learn to ride your bicycle without enduring a few falls? In fact, you don’t need to break any bone to become a proficient rider.

Mistakes are intrinsic to human nature, so goes the saying “to err is human”. That was also IOM 1999’s landmark report title, as is WHO’s course on patient harm prevention.
But error is also a formidable tool for learning, one that we use during our lifetime to improve our performance and evolve.

During a 3-hour workshop, we will first talk about error as a learning tool, types of errors in Medicine, and the role of simulation in learning and error avoidance. The participants will be immersed in two different clinical scenarios and allowed (but not induced) to make errors, depending on whether their interpretation, interaction and decision are correct or not. The course of action will then be debriefed with the help of trained instructors.

A mere 30 years ago the common teaching in medical schools was that Ultrasound (US) had no interest whatsoever in the assessment of the lungs and pleura. Thanks to several teams of US enthusiasts mainly in ICU’s and Emergency Depts, the technique has been applied and extensively validated in almost all pleuro-pulmonary disease states. Today, thoracic US is an easy to learn, reliable, fast, non-invasive point-of-care technique available in most hospitals. This course is an hands-on introduction to Thoracic US for medical students that aims at raising awareness for the potential of this tool and stimulate the learners interest in developing this useful skill for their future clinical practice

A mere 30 years ago the common teaching in medical schools was that Ultrasound (US) had no interest whatsoever in the assessment of the lungs and pleura. Thanks to several teams of US enthusiasts mainly in ICU’s and Emergency Depts, the technique has been applied and extensively validated in almost all pleuro-pulmonary disease states. Today, thoracic US is an easy to learn, reliable, fast, non-invasive point-of-care technique available in most hospitals. This course is an hands-on introduction to Thoracic US for medical students that aims at raising awareness for the potential of this tool and stimulate the learners interest in developing this useful skill for their future clinical practice

Nowadays, the human genome is already sequenced, which means that about three billion base pairs of our DNA have already been identified, such as its order. This sequence, however, is not exactly the same in each of us. About 99.5% of a person’s DNA is similar to anyone else’s DNA, even if not relatives. Nonetheless, the small, but distinct, 0.5% are responsible for the genetic variability. Such differences include changes in a single nucleotide, changes in one or more genes, or even changes in chromosome number or structure. Some differences that occur in DNA sequences have little or no effect on protein function, while other differences are directly responsible for causing disease.
