The Project Story
Knowledge in Action — Improving Sonographer-Patient Communication through Digital Humans
Improving Sonographer-Patient Communication through Digital Humans — The Learning Ideas Conference 2023, Columbia University in New York (USA)
01 / Situation
The Starting Point
Healthcare education needs to connect professional knowledge with the situations in which it will be used. Learners must interpret context as well as recall information.
02 / Impact
Why It Matters
The transition from knowing to acting includes clinical reasoning, communication, and the use of tools. Learning opportunities need to make those connections available for examination.
03 / Resolution
The Project Response
The healthcare application identified here places the clinical subject in the educational or simulation format documented by the project. Its material provides the concrete scenario, environment, or tool through which that connection is explored.
