Interaction of EM Radiation with Matter: Spectroscopy01:12

Interaction of EM Radiation with Matter: Spectroscopy

3.3K
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation can be considered an oscillating electric and magnetic field propagating through a medium that can interact with matter in its path. The electric field in the radiation can interact with electrical charges in the atoms or molecules in the matter. On the other hand, the magnetic field can interact with the magnetic field in the atomic nucleus. The study of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter is termed spectroscopy. Spectroscopy is the study...

Dual Nature of Electromagnetic (EM) Radiation

4.0K
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation consists of electric and magnetic field components oscillating in planes perpendicular to each other and mutually perpendicular to radiation propagation through space. EM radiation can be classified as a wave, characterized by the properties of waves such as wavelength (denoted as λ) and frequency (represented by ν).
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (the highest point) or troughs (the lowest point) in the wave. Frequency is the number of...

Data Reporting and Recording

5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

12.7K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Summary

Emergency medical services (EMS) providers show interest in free open access medical education (FOAM), despite low current usage of social media for FOAM. Many EMS providers are keen to use FOAM resources for learning.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Emergency Medical Services
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) offers readily available educational materials.
  • Evaluating the adoption and utilization of FOAM and social media among EMS providers is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the awareness, usage, and interest in FOAM and social media for educational purposes among EMS providers.
  • To identify preferred platforms and potential barriers to FOAM adoption in EMS.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey was developed and distributed to EMS providers via the ACEP EMS Listserv.
  • The survey collected data on provider demographics, awareness of FOAM, social media usage for education, and interest in FOAM resources.

Main Results:

  • A 32.3% response rate (169/523) was achieved, with respondents primarily being paramedics and EMT-Basics.
  • Only 20% of respondents had heard of FOAM, though 54% were familiar with "free medical education online."
  • Facebook (31%) and blogs/podcasts (23%) were the most used social media platforms for education; 76% expressed interest in using FOAM, rising to 83% if Continuing Medical Education (CME) was offered.

Conclusions:

  • Current utilization of social media for FOAM among EMS providers is limited.
  • There is significant interest among EMS providers in leveraging FOAM for continuing education, irrespective of CME accreditation.
  • FOAM presents a promising avenue for enhancing EMS education and professional development.
