Meet Dr. Dick Judge....
CARDIAX is a computer-aided instructional program of 20 planned cases in basic cardiology. Development is a collaborative effort between Dr. Richard Judge, a well-known cardiologist, and the Learning Resource Center at the University of Michigan Medical School.
Welcome to CARDIAX!
CARDIAX: Case One presents examples and approaches to problem solving, with the objective of demonstrating that the effective use of expensive, high-tech diagnostic technology is firmly based in observations made at the bedside and in the examining room. The interrelationship of Case One and subsequent Cardiax cases provide the user with a solid foundation from which to extrapolate and develop problem-solving skills in the practice of medicine. The highly interactive approach insures that these cases are both stimulating and educational.
CARDIAX integrates text, digital images, audio and QuickTime videos to teach fundamental principles of cardiac diagnosis with hands-on learning. The learner is presented with interactive, problem-based formats shown in the examples below:
The program tailors itself to various users - medical students, house officer/residents, or practicing physicians - and it can be used in an examination mode. Each of the 20 cases also provides a separate quiz.
Additional program highlights are "Time-out" sections which present information on such topics as pathophysiology or medical/legal issues, and "Historical Vignettes," which take a look at medicine and history and art.
