The Development of Prostate Palpation Skills Through Simulation Training May Impact Early Detection of Prostate Abnormalities and Early Management
Abstract
This is our first annual report. Our team has made good progress on our three year grant toward achieving aims. We have 5 journal papers either submitted or with physical artifacts near completion. We have recruited a group of students and have established collaborations with other researchers, in particular to gain access to tissue specimens. We have successfully built and validated a materials characterization procedure, a series of algorithms for detecting finger palpation patterns, began formalizing contextual feedback and began formulating an algorithm to allow computerized adaptive testing principles to be applied to reduce simulation exam duration. We will continue to work toward aim completion over the next two years of the grant.
