Last Day! Hurray!

It would come to an end. In fact, I wrote this during lunch, and we would have another couple of sessions before the workshop done. All in all, it has been a success. This was the third time that I was tutoring a similar workshop, and I must say, this has been the best lot. We would be discussing how we could integrate what we learned in the last couple of days in our daily practice, and looking forward to hear what the participants had to say.

Day Two

Day two passed by in double quick time. I was not really that fully awake forget thing after waking up early to catch the United match. After a couple of coffee breaks, I was good to go.

A blurry view from my chairThe first session was notable, much down to the effort of Su May making medical statistics both simple and fun. It was very clear that the participants enjoyed it. This was followed by small group discussion on appraising clinical papers. Before long, it was pretty clear that the participants started to recognise the pattern emerging in spotting a sound paper, compared to the dodgy ones. Objective achieved. Everyone can go home happy, to come back for the wrap up sessions tomorrow.

Next Three Days

I would be spanning the coming three days attending a workshop at the Julius Center here in UM. It was mainly on Evidence-Based Medicine, a subject I have been keen on. I have been a tutor for such program for the coming three years, although for this particular one, even the chief organiser admitted that the program was announced rather late. The invitation email to my Head of Department only appeared towards the end of last week, even though I learned about the program well in advance.

The program today was mainly on the introduction to clinical appraisal. We would later be put into small groups - mainly he attendance were pharmacists - for group work. Would see how things develop.
