Hi, Rute,
Thank you for your question!
Addiction to these new technologies is quite new to the world. There are more and more evidence shown it might cause mental symptoms. If one has experienced unusual mental changes, one might need to seek professional advice. -

Hi, Tao. Thank you for your comment. Social media has become one of the important information resource nowadays, no matter it's right or wrong. Of course you can choose not to use any of these social media. However, the world is the way it is now.
In this course, Dr. Shabbir would introduce the good sides and bad sides of the social media. You are welcome to... -

Hi, Desmia,
Thank you for your comment.
In this design, different groups had involved. There were ICT professors, with their ICT students. There were medical professors with their medical students. Moreover, there were residents of the community participating as well. -
Marian Wan replied to Desmia Haldane
Hi, Desmia,
Thank you for your question.
Humanity is a huge topic. As applied in Medicine, there are still many aspects. In this course, Prof. Tsai had just mentioned some of them. Ethics is one topic of humanity. Bioethics implied to the ethical issues related to biotechnologies. -
Marian Wan replied to Noel Otto Blaak
Hi, Neol,
Thank you for your comment.
It's the fact that patients in this era could gather a lot of information, no matter these are right or wrong. Healthcare providers should be aware of the paradigm-shift. It would be the new challenge to gain patients' trust. -
Marian Wan replied to Omar Ibrahim Nawar
Hi, Omar,
Thank you for raising this question.
In this information age, patients may get as much information as medical doctors though internet. Thus, doctors are no longer in knowledge-dominate roles. Patients should have their autonomy on their bodies. Doctors could give "suggestions" of treatments, technologies or medicine, but patients should have... -

Hi, Looi. After you took the IOT course, would you consider developing games for elders?

Would you like to define what "youth" is in your context?

Hi, Jean! Thank you for your comment! We will talk about it later in the week. Please feel free to provide your feedback.

Hi, Clair! Thank you for your question. About the description of statistic, it means that 8/10 Americans will search health information online. And among those who were looking for health information, 74% of them had used social media to do it.

Hi, Keith. Thank you for introducing some interesting apps that you've used.

Dear All, the post-survey link is fixed. Please feel free to submit your opinion. Thanks!!

Marian Wan replied to Magsie B
Hi. Magsie. About the upgrade price, $79 is the "USD". $59 is the "GBP." (It's indeed confusing. FutureLearn is in a stage of transition this year. We do hope the learning experience would be better then. )
-
Hi. Margaret! Thank you for your comment. I apologize for the link error. I will correct it accordingly.
-
Marian Wan replied to Magsie B
Hi, Magsie. Thank you for your comments. We will work out the transcript you've suggested in the next run. As for the final test, the fee, and the certificate, we will discuss with the FutureLearn personnel to see if there is any possibility to make the learning experience better.

Hi, Isaiah. One of the good things about MOOCs is that you can study on your own pace. It's never late to learn. Wish you enjoy the course and comments from fellow learners.

Hi, Magsie. Thank you for your comment. We will refine the question as needed in the next run.

Hello, Learners!! This is the last week of this course. I wish you all have enjoyed it. Please feel free to leave your reflection or suggestion in the last discussion, and also, to fill the after-course survey (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/pharmacy-preceptor/1/run_surveys/470f5749-71c4-46e7-9043-fbe6e1017e3e).

Hi, Omar. Thanks for your explanation of the current status of pharmacy in your country.

Hi, Magsie. Thank you for your comment. FL's video can be set in 2x speed as needed.
-
Hi, Marjorie. Thank you for your comment. Basically, precepting is very like mentoring or coaching. However, there are slightly differences between these. After you learning more in the course, you may get a more clear picture on it. I would looking forward to seeing your reflection of your findings in the end.

Marian Wan replied to D L
Hi, DL. Thank you for your comment. In the week 2 of this part, we talk about some hard science and economics. It may not be as useful as the real life cases brought out in the previous talks. However, you may find why these technologies would be developed and how, in this session. Moreover, we would like to thank you and your elderly friends for these amazing...

Hi, Ian. Thanks for your recommandation. We wish this course could bring out some interesting topics related to "the thirdage."

Hi, Harold. Thank you for your comment. Cognitive training is effective only when the receivers are doing it with their own wishes. Learning languages or playing musical instruments are high-level cognitive activities. Even young people think these would be challenges. Keep enjoying them, you are still young.

Hi, Douglas. I have upload the PPT of this video. If you have question, please feel free to post in your comment. Thanks.

Hi, Annisa. Thanks for raising this question. It's worth of doing some researches on.
-
Hi, Ferruccio. Thank you for your comment. The paper is under copyright protection. However, the abstract should reveal most of the conclusions and results. What would you like to know in detail. I shall be able to provide you some explanations.
-
By using technologies, healthcare providers could measure the problems or infer the causes. Different diagnosis lead to different treatment plans.
-
Hi, Douglas. We could provide a handout of the presentation file. Thank you for your comment.
-
I'm glad some younger ones could think of a better way to assist elders.

This involves "reading ability." For Chinese characters, there is one more ability, pattern recognition. These are part of "memory," generally speaking.

Welcome in!! Our fellows!!

Hi, Eileen. Thank you for your reflection. Indeed, along with the technology developed, there are more and more applications in hospitals involving wireless connections. I believe soon the "no-phone zone" will become a conceptual idea. Which means, the students are required to use smartphone to enhance their rotation, not for leisure reasons.
-
Hi, Key. Thank you so much! You make a point!

Hi, Noura. Please check the course page regarding upgrade option and requirement @ https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/pharmacy-preceptor/1
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Thanks! -
Hi, Margaret. Thanks for your comments. We will make proper correction. We appologize for it.
-
Hi, Shawntel. Thanks for your comment. Indeed, we believe this course would be beneficial to all instructors. There are not so many professional pharmacy terms, though, it is based on the real pharmacy settings. For any field involving closed preceptor-student training, it would be useful. Thanks for your recommandation.
-
Hi, Shawntel. Thanks for sharing your story.
-
Hi, Sherif, I would strongly recommend you to learn the 4th week about how to establish a preceptor training system in an academy.
-
Hi, Wati, wish you will enjoy the course.
-
Hi, Usha, this course is for training "Preceptor", not prescription or regular pharmacy skills. TMU's next pharmacy course will be more related to pharmacy skills. I wish you would come back and learn then.
-
Most of content in this course is based on the perspective of preceptors. However, pharmacy students should be adults and soon they will become pharmacists. Knowing how to teach or understand what their preceptors think of them will be also one experience they could have. They may appreciate the hard work you've done for them after they finish this course. As...

Marian Wan replied to Liz Bass
Hi, Liz, you just made a honest reflection! Thanks.
Just a reminder, one of the important outcomes of this course would be to unite a group of learners that have interests on the social or ethical issues raised here. Reading is just a part of learning process. We wish discussion and participation would bring more learning experiences. -

Hi, Eva! Thank you for your comment. I would like to know in which part you think is unclear. Your opionion would help us to make the course better. I am looking forward to hearing from you more. Thanks again.

Yes, Meli! For quality control, supervision might be needed. However, I would say innovative re-visits are most wanted.
-
Thanks! Jacob, for the reference you are sharing.
-
Thanks, Tarry! You have mentioned a very important issue here. How to sustain the approach? Indeed, you have pointed out a clue, the local community. It becomes a key role there. Back to content of the 1st week, we've talked about the empowerment of local community. The participation rate of local community will affect the sustainability.

Thanks!Jacob! You've provided a good reference.

Marian Wan replied to Dorothy Hyde
Thank you Dorothy for your comments. This course is not designed for learning English. In this course, Prof. Tsai would like to raise an issue regarding the importance to medical humanities. The participants of this course have shown the value of it. I apologize that the English in the videos may not be perfect for native English speakers.

Hi, Everyone! It's the last week of this course. I am so impressed that many of you have finished it faster. I appreciate all the comments and discussions in this course. It has shown a great platform for everyone to exchange experience and thoughts related to the topic.
It's never too late to begin your study. Please enjoy the last week of it! -
Marian Wan replied to Jacob Ogunlade
Thanks, Jacob! You have provide a very good reference regarding the status of bioethics in Asia, mainly in Japan. Truly in medical humanities education, discussion should play an important role. I am so impressed that our learners in this course are demonstrating it. The more debates are, the more learners could get. I wish you've enjoyed them.
-
Thanks, Donna and Doreen! It is true that English is not the mother language of Taiwan. We speak Mandarin mainly. Other comments had mentioned the condition of multiple languages happens everywhere. Even in a small place like Taiwan, we have 2 other major dialects, Taiwanese and Hakka. We do design courses of medical terms in Taiwanese or in Hakka for our...
-
Thanks!! Tarry! Once again, you have made an excellent feedback. I strongly recommend other learners to follow your comments.
-
Hi, Elizabeth. In Taiwan, we could choose specialists without referral. The health system here allow patients go directly to the specialists and the insurance will still pay for it as well. It has both good and bad sides. The good part is, like what you mentioned, everyone has right to get access to special care directly. The bad part is patients tend to seek...

Hi, Donna, thanks for sharing it. Simulation labs have become a new trend in medical education. Interesting phenomenon happens when new technologies adapted. Have you observed any differences between new methods and traditional ones?

Thanks Tarry! You have mentioned a very important point of the community-service learning design.
