(This tutorial process has been iteratively refined over the last year, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Learning takes place essentially as a process of self study, in each of you individually. Following by active discussion and use of this material in clinical practice. For this session, we will review and discuss your understanding during the live session this Tuesday. My role is to present compact, usable content, that you can both review and use, and come back to, as and when you require in the future.

Start here with background info and learning tips
⬇️
Some tips to increase your learning and training effectiveness and efficiency:
Poh-Sun Goh
1. Reflect on the purpose of your medical education and expected outcomes of your undergraduate education and clinical training process.
2. Your current clinical exposure to case based learning in the emergency department, wards, and clinics-outpatient settings builds on a foundation of pre-clinical basic sciences in year 1 and 2 of the medical program (with anatomy and pathology particularly applicable to the interpretation of radiology / imaging studies of your patients).
3. For the abdomen, think about what anatomical structures lie within the area of interest/clinical presentation, or may present with the clinical symptoms and signs exhibited by your patients. Ask yourself what radiological investigation you might request or review in order to make a diagnosis - to rule in, or rule out potential clinical diagnosis. Radiology helps you to "see living anatomy and pathology" in your patients. Thus confirm or exclude diagnosis. Keep in mind that early disease may have very subtle of "negative" imaging during the early stages of clinically symptomatic disease.
4. Review the Radiology studies for your patients. Ask yourself why certain investigations were performed. And in what order.
5. Correlate imaging findings with your clinical observations. Do they make sense, correlate with clinical findings, or do you have to entertain alternative diagnostic possibilities?
6. Use textbooks and a wide variety of online resources to improve your diagnostic and interpretative skills. Practice, practice, practice with reflection and feedback, using a range of resources, to increase your exposure to the variety and spectrum of clinical and imaging findings, both normal and abnormal, from typical, to less common and atypical (as you progress to increase your experience and mastery of clinical practice, and improve your knowledge and skills from undergraduate, through postgraduate to continuing professional development and lifelong learning settings).
7. Compare and contrast is one of the simplest and most effective methods to learn to recognise and differentiate between normal and abnormal XRs and scans. Review a series of normal XRs and scans, and then do side by side comparison between examples of normal, normal and abnormal, and examples of abnormal XRs and scans.

Below section is guided learning path (Option 1)
⬇️
Session guide (one learning path) - start with 'Tips' section above, then explore material section below, all on open access websites. One path is to start with 'a curriculum', then explore an approach to the AXR, both normal, and abnormal. Followed by review of common pathology presenting as an acute abdomen on CT scans. Start with bowel perforation on erect CXR, and AXR, unknown cases, for example here, focusing on appearance of free air, and 'Rigler's sign' on AXR. Then move on to examples of acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, acute diverticulitis (focusing on the similarities between these three pathologies, and taking note of differences between normal and abnormal structures, paying attention to the wall of the structure, and the adjacent fat in particular). Then review bowel obstruction, on the AXR, and CT scan, paying attention to the strengths and weaknesses of the AXR, and added value of a CT scan - pay attention to visibility of bowel segment which is dilated proximal to obstructing point, and cause of obstruction shown on CT).

Three questions. Three (regular, daily) activities
- Why learn? Read, get Exposure and Experience (on regular basis, daily). To take note. Develop and build knowledge and skills. Expertise.
- Why practice? (What does this involve?). To make notes. (Write, Draw, Illustrate, Create, Build, Combine, Apply, Transfer to Professional Practice). Develop and build knowledge and skills. Expertise.
- Why engage in 'scholarship'? Share notes. (Write on regular basis, daily. Share this. Make 'public' and get published. Publish. Demonstrate and Share). Knowledge and Skills. Expertise. (Know How, Show How, 'Feel'). To 'enter', (gain entrance), and participate. In an area (areas) of Professional Practice. Communities of Practice. Communities of Interest. Get licensed (to practice). Establish Credentials. Professional Standing.

As part of a 'self-directed' learning process, self-directed learning, I would throw into the mix the role of 1) regular habits, e.g. of reading, viewing and exposure to material, ideas, and individuals/teams working in areas of interest and relevant to practice; and 2) linking 'learning' with performance roles, settings and events; and 3) combining 1) and 2) with a relentless commitment 'to get better', 'improve'. And a discussion of a 'growth mindset'.

What does 'success' and (making) progress look and feel like?
- participation and engagement metrics - completed writing tasks (daily micro-scholarship), and in order to write daily, it is required at minimum to engage in 'the process' (review, reflect, read, engage in conversations, give and receive feedback - synchronously and asynchronously) - basically 'take note, make notes and share notes'; and then progressively and systematically create (in public, and for public professional audiences) presentations and publications
- participation in regular, scheduled and opportunistic 'events' - including meetings, conferences
- qualitative and performance level metrics include acceptance, feedback and engagement 'with' audiences and peers (who, where, and at what level); or, to use a sporting analogy (moving from local, to regional, then international level / higher levels of performance[s] - which may include broader range, more depth, and both increasingly complex and simpler - meaningful and useful - outputs)

Three workshop activities. In three sessions.
- Who do you want to be? What role(s)? What setting(s)? For example - clinician, educator, scholar. Local, National, International. What do you need to do? Role of 'Presentations' and 'Publications'. In what settings? At what level? Local, National, International. Training (getting trained). Experience. Documentation. Logs (log books). Credentials. License(s) [to practice]. Admission [selection, to participate]. Portfolio(s).
- Specific examples and exercises. Topic review. Case study. Case series. Generalisable ideas. Transfer to practice. Relevance. Usefulness. Analyse presentations and publications. What are their component parts? How are they put together and assembled? The process and 'recipe'. Reflect on what you are currently doing with your 'projects' and 'assignments'. Build on this. Increasingly do this 'publicly' in professional settings. Collect and document what you do on a regular stepwise basis. Not only finished work, but work(s) in progress. Including key component parts.
- Pick one of the following (below), and work on this individually/in groups throughout the workshop, and present back - between session 1 and session 2, between session 2 and session 3; and in final 'report' on WhatsApp at end of workshop (before end of workshop - last 15 to 30 minutes of session 3 planned to give you all time to do this. Topic 1 - 'empowering patients' (how will you do this?). Topic 2 - 'keeping up to date' (how will you engage in 'lifelong professional education and training'). Topic 3 - 'organising and organisations, formal institutions and informal networks' (what is the future of professional organisations and networks?)
