DundeeChest 3.0

It’s been brought to my attention that there is yet more formative assessment for you all to get stuck into. The iCAST (interactive clinical anatomy and skills teaching) online modules are on blackboard now and there are 5 packages starting with the normal findings and examination. They are all designed to integrate the anatomy with the clinical examination in a normal or pathological chest. I’ve had a look at the first one on examination and normal function and it’s a really good package which goes into a bit more detail than we have time to cover in the clinical skill sessions. The other packages cover various disease processes and will come in handy in the coming weeks as we cover the system more fully. I can’t link them into DundeeChest directly because of password and coding malarky but I will give you a roadmap to find your way to them

Click on “Teaching Materials” on the left hand side

Then on “Formative Assessment” in the bottom left hand corner

Then on “Phase 2”

Then on “Year 2 Respiratory”

Then on “iCAST Normal 2010-11” (or whichever you fancy)

You will be greeted with a long page of confusing text but not far from the bottom is where you will find the first one on normal function and structure.

Simples eh?
