1. Background

Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most frequent non-communicable diseases in our daily work and its importance and costs are progressively growing up. It is one of the reasons why we are focusing on its prevention and treatment by diet interventions, which has demonstrate to be a very cost-efficient tool in GPs consultations.

2. Aim and learning objectives

Learning objectives:

-reviewing current recommendations on diabetic nutrition.

-announcing recent evidence about this topic.

-giving ideas about how to put in practice this novelties.

3. Methods and timetable

We will use a presentation, which includes a brief introduction on the topic refreshing current recommendations and comparing them with actual evidence by Kahoot or similar system. After it, we will divide the participants into small groups in order to discuss some clinical cases that, they would present back to the general group. At the end, we will open a round of question for doubts or curiosities.

The activity will take 60 minutes:

-5’: presentations of the speaker and the topic

-20’: for theory and questions.

-30’: for clinical cases

-5’: doubts and questions

4. Conclusions

This workshop intention is to talk about the changes on diabetic nutrition recommendations and how could it be applied in our daily consultations.

1. Background

Chest X-Ray and Pulmonary Ultrasound are two important and helpful complementary tests for General Physicians; its knowledge provides a powerful diagnosing tool in our health centers.

2. Aim and learning objectives

Learning objectives:

-acquiring a systematic Chest X-Ray reading, useful for Family Physicians.

-knowing different factors which influence the reading of an X-Ray

-learning how to evaluate this type of X-Ray “by systems”

-acquiring basic knowledge about Pulmonary Ultrasound and know the advantages over chest radiography

3. Methods and timetable

We will use a presentation, which includes a brief introduction on the topic, the development of the learning objectives using dynamic questions and ultrasound videos along the presentation by Kahoot or similar system. After it, we will include daily clinical examples based on X-Ray or US. At the end, we will open a round of questions for doubts or curiosities.

The activity will take 60 minutes:

-5’: presentations of the speaker and the topic

-35’: for theory and questions interspersed into the presentation through dynamic quiz or games. with dynamic.

-15’: for clinical cases that the participants will have to actively solve.

-5’: doubts and questions

4. Conclusions

This workshop intention is the recognition and learning of radiological signs and patterns in chest X-Ray and pulmonary Ultrasound, arming Family Physicians with powerful tools and little or nothing harmful, which will help us in our daily work.

Abstract Body

1. Background

Glass ceiling is a well-known term used to express the different ways in which women lack equality compared with men: upper-level positions, academic and research works, gaps in salaries, gender parity, etc. which can be applied identically to the medical world.

Not only to management positions or academic level, where female doctors are constantly under-funded, awarded or represented, but also to the daily practice.

According to the literature, gender bias can still be found in medicine: differences on treatments (i.e. women receive poorer heart attack treatment than men), difference on the diagnostic tests used or on the way of conducting anamnesis. Diseases can also vary in their presentation according to the gender and several female pathologies are overtreated unnecessary. Their historical role as caretaker has also an influence.

2. Aim and learning objectives

The aim is to visualize these differences, provide some tools and strategies in order to help the participants to recognize gender gaps in their consultations.

3. Methods and timetable

We will use a presentation for introducing the topic and developing the learning objectives, with dynamic questions and clinical cases interspersed by Kahoot, followed by an open round of questions at the end.

The activity will take 60 minutes:

-5’: presentations

-40’: theory and clinical cases

-15’: questions and answers

4. Conclusions

Gender differences are repeatedly present in our society and unfortunately, have a huge influence in the care provided. Raising awareness and ensuring strategies that protect women, tackling discrimination and gender bias is key for breaking the many existing glass ceilings in Medicine.
