A patient in your practice experiences a severe allergic reaction to the dental anesthetic used during a class II filling on tooth #4. The patient enters into anaphylaxis, and the small, systemic blood vessels become leaky. Which of the following pressures would be most likely to increase? A. The Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure (BCOP) B. The Blood Hydrostatic Pressure (BHP) C. The Blood Oncotic Pressure (BOP) D. The Interstitial Fluid Colloid Osmotic Pressure (IFCOP) E. The Mean Arterial Blood Pressure (MAP) Clinically Relevant Assessment Questions
% Correct * n= , p<.05, One-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test Unit Exam Performance
Think-pair-share After successful completion of your course, what is one “real world” task, skill, or ability that you envision for your students? Pair up with 1-2 other people and share your idea.
Clinical Scenario Videos
What is your initial reaction to the idea of creating videos for your classes? 1. Hey—I can do that! 2. I’m interested, and want to learn more! 3. I’m interested, but am afraid I do not have the technical skills. 4. I have no time for this project! 5. I’m still not convinced this is a good idea.

The physiology faculty are aware of the needs of dental clinicians The physiology faculty use examples or content that relate to dentistry In the D.M.D. Curriculum, there should be more emphasis on Physiology In the D.M.D. Curriculum, there should be less emphasis on Physiology (Negative Stem) Physiology is important for student success on the National Board Dental Examination, Pt. 1 (NBDE) Physiology is important for the daily practice of dentistry An understanding of physiology is important for the daily practice of dentistry Strongly Agree Strongly Disagree Neither Agree Nor Disagree * * * * * * *

Practical tips/hints for creating and sharing videos Check to make sure the content isn’t already available YouTube, Google, Khan Academy, MedEdPORTAL Keep it short-maximum of 10 minutes Show AND tell-minimize “Death by PowerPoint” Animations Case-based Studies Clinical Videos
Practical tips/hints for creating and sharing videos Make it ADA compliant Add closed captioning Carefully consider open vs. restricted access of videos Videos can be “produced” on Screencast, YouTube, Blackboard, etc.

Quick fire brainstorming What is a concern/worry you still have regarding the creation or implementation of clinical scenario videos?
Potential Pitfalls Creation process can be time-consuming Start small-research supports 10 minutes max Technology does not always work as expected Encourage an open dialogue with students Have a back-up plan Identify technical support
Homework Draft a plan to create one video for your students What content will be covered? Open or restricted access? What is your timeline for creation? Implementation? How will you evaluate the effectiveness of your video?
