Abstract
Abstract: Mastery learning can be an effective method to ensure learner competence for specific procedures and skills. It has been used effectively in different fields of medicine. There is limited data within the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) relating to the use of mastery learning, although a few early studies have shown promise and feasibility. PM&R requires expertise in a broad range of procedures and skills. Structured mastery learning programs may serve as a valuable tool to help PM&R learners achieve competency.
期刊介绍:
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
