Our Biomed outreach is almost like a demo for our larger Biomed presentations during April. My outreach taught me several useful things for the presentation. The first thing I learned is that I’m probably not going to use Emaze for my final presentation. Emaze which is known for its highly animated presentations only allows you to animate the presentations with the premium versions. The free version makes things like even changing the background unnecessarily difficult. I also considered that I should focus down on a certain topic of radiology and I believe I’ve decided this topic to be different AI package products that already exist and I could try to spread knowledge on what this means for the field
My actual presentation went well, I spoke to the yonder Biomded one and two classes about the basics of radiology and its different career avenues and procedures. I brought up interventional radiology and different types of biopsies and how radiologic technology helps guide certain treatments. When I brought up diagnostic radiology I made sure to bring up my recent car accident to intertwine telehealth with my presentations. I brought up how there was no radiologist in the ER at the time so they sent it to someone off-site to give me a diagnosis and send it back. This worked out well because only some of them knew about telehealth and could actually give me a concrete definition.
Lastly, I had a game to help them understand certain technologies. As I began to speak about X-rays I brought out my driver's license and illuminated with a UV light to simulate myself shooting of X-ray beams. Before the outreach, I had put highlighter on my scrubs and this highlighter couldn’t be seen on them without the UV light, so I drew several things on myself like a rib fracture and a shattered tibia. I set the classes up into two teams where they would take turns being a patient and a radiologist searching for drawn abnormalities in their skeletons. Both classes ended up separating into boys versus girls and unsurprisingly the girls won both times. Overall the presentation was pretty well received and all the groups involved had a good time drawing on each other and also searching, then trying to diagnose the issues.
