He approaches all his courses with a scientific mindset, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking. Recently, Dr. Jones sent me a file containing one of his lectures on critical thinking. The lecture was for college students, but after reading the file I thought the subject matter would be great for everyone to know, not just those who are attending college. In the following interview, we discuss important points on critical thinking and approaches to knowledge. I think most people know that the media is not the best source for reliable information.  Yet, many seem to almost exclusively turn to the media for knowledge. ...

Staff working in joint posts between university and clinical settings are in a unique position to address these challenges. They should encourage the publication of articles, presentations and implementation of recommendations that are locally relevant. An action research approach is suggested to boost the likelihood of findings being implemented and raising awareness of research to clinical staff. Contact the Library for a copy of this article.

The main difference between a knol and a wikipedia article is that a knol has associated authorship or ownership against an article. This factor has caused some issues an outcries focusing on the merits of the wisdom of crowds verses the merits of single individuals and the whole ethos if information dissemination on the Web. (There are too many to cite but some discussion can be found on FriendFeed+knol) However, on looking at knol and having a snoop around I was not drawn into thinking about competing with Wikipedia or advertising revenue, rather what struck me is that a knol, with owner authorship looks incredibly like a scientific journal publicati... peanutbutter blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1717077 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:20:10 +0100 1717077 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=913487&cid=t_101116_85_f&fid=34798&url=http%3A%2F%2Friskassessment.wordpress.com%2F2007%2F09%2F28%2Fnice-article-on-risk-assessment%2F A colleague pointed me to a nice article on suicide risk assessment written by David J. Muzina, MD in the September issue of Current Psychiatry Online.   The article is well-written and well-organized.  The stepwise approach described can be quite helpful.  I wish the article included more on documentation (there is only one sample note, and I’m not sure how helpful it is).   The article also pays scant attention to families.  But otherwise this is a really solid general reference on the subject.

I presented about our clinical services and about my work in suicide risk assessment, including how it grew out of experiences with suicidal patients in couples and families. The Center board and the faculty of the WCFR were present.

He has been working in the field of suicide prevention for decades and has developed an excellent set of tools for clinicians. I enjoyed the conversation because Dr. Quinnett is bright, experienced, and passionate about his work, and also because of the conceptual overlaps I observed through our conversation. Here are a few from my notes: Technology Transfer. Dr. Quinnett’s interest is technology transfer, i.e. taking what is known from the literature and clinical experience giving it legs for the working clinician and healthcare system. This the primary thrust of my evolving work, as well. I also have an interest finding the most efficient and effective pedagogical method for transferring information.Â...

That is probably especially true for the busiest front-line clinicians. I later reflected about what this could mean in terms of Web 2.0 opportunities to change clinician behavior. First, the narrative, personal feel of blogs might appeal to clinicians in a way that practice manuals and official websites don’t.   Second, the conversational opportunities of wiki (Wiki in wikipedia, Using Wiki in Education), RSS feeds, podcasts, and other Web 2.0 venues also have potential to reach people...
