This resource can be used to illustrate the gastric lavage procedure. Gastric lavage is the standard method of obtaining specimens for Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in young children. It is generally carried out only in infants and children below the age of two years. In older children specimens for TB microscopy and culture are better obtained by sputum induction, or voluntary coughing.

There are two items included here:

  1. Gastric lavage Presentation.PPT - presentation that illustrates and explains the procedure with text
  2. Gastric lavage Animation sequence.PPT - Animation which demonstrates how this procedure can be performed

Digital Professionalism

 

A new initiative teaching first year health science students about their online identity has proven valuable. The importance of communication skills and respect for others through social media is identified and explained.

The rapid, expansive and evolving use of social media has prompted the need to interrogate its impact for future health professionals. Students in the Health Sciences ought to understand the beneficial and harmful consequences of their online identities and postings.

This workshop was an introductory session for all 1st year students in the Health Sciences Faculty. It aimed to initiate a professional awareness and engage in conversations and tasks related to digital professionalism.
